Hotel near Erhai Park,Dali20.5% of visitors choose this area
It was a joy to wake up to the gorgeous view of ErHai offered by the bay window in our room, plus breakfast delivered to the door, each day. The room was clean, the hot water and water pressure were steady, and the bed was comfortable. Also really enjoyed using the tub by the window. Above all else, service was impeccable. The front desk was immensely helpful in providing advice for our plans on the day to day and very kindly helped to arrange for transport to our next stop at Lijiang.
The only downsides are that it's a distance away from some of the popular tourist sites, but didi worked just fine for where we wanted to go. I believe the hotel will also help to book you a car if you need one.
In all, my husband and I were really glad we chose to stay here and would be more than happy to return.

Yuntang is near Erhai gate of the Dali ancient city so it’s easy for drivers to drop off (but the ancient city roads are very narrow and can easily get stuck in a jam). The hotel location is good as it’s accessible to a lot of shops and it’s not a far walk into the alley. Thankfully there wasn’t much noise heard in the room even though the ancient city can be very happening and loud especially at some eateries and shops. We got a free upgrade to a bigger room which is very spacious and feels like a getaway villa resort. It’s clean and comfortable, with a cute tea drinking area which can double as a place to put our luggage. The breakfast provided is homely and comforting. We were allowed to leave our luggage after checking out and sit around the 1st floor area which has a few cozy sitting spots. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Services:
We were very impressed by the services rendered by the 管家 by the name of 小杜, and his team of colleagues!
He ensured that our every need was met and exceeded!
During our check-in day, there was a power outage for some parts of the Shuanglang old town, including this property. He kept apologizing sincerely even though it was no fault of his and he did everything within his abilities to ensure we are comfortable. Thank you, 小杜 and your team!
Location:
A short 2 minutes walk through the old town from the vehicle drop off point, do a right turn into an alley and you will find the amazing property sitting just on the bank of ErHai lake, with a superb view of the sunset, be it from the garden, lobby, breakfast area or the roof top.
Just before the entrance to the alley, at the main street of the old town, you could get food even at 1030pm! Certainly a 5 stars for the location!
Rooms:
Quality bath robes and slippers to keep you warm, comfortable bed to snuggle in, free minibar and snacks replaced daily, what more could we ask for?
Breakfast & Night snacks:
Breakfast was delightful and also a tasty night snack to warm your tummy before sleep! All were great!
Overall:
For the two nights of stay, we absolutely enjoyed ourselves!
Not just for the services and the clean rooms, also for the picturesque location where the architect has put in much effort to maximize the visual impact of the scenic Erhai view for all visitors! We had sooooooooo many nice photos taken at the amazing property!
Strongly recommend this property to anyone who wants to stay in Erhai!
Sunlight is nature's most beautiful gift to human beings
When we bask in the sun, we can make all the "evil" in the world nowhere to hide. Let all the beauty and simplicity ripple on people's faces again, and goodness can flow outward like a clear spring in the heart. Therefore, space designers with "light" in their hearts have an almost paranoid "demon" for sunlight, allowing them to design design works with different "understandings" and "human worthiness" of light. In my opinion, Dali's "Wuji Yinshe Mid-Mountain B&B" is such a "clean" and "innocent" space design work with "light" from the bottom of the heart!
The beginning
"Wuer Yinshe Mid-Mountain B&B" is located in Wenbi Village, Haidong Town, Dali, close to Erhai Lake, overlooking Cangshan Mountain, and the unique geographical environment makes people who have lived here for generations have no worries about food and clothing, but it is gradually distancing itself from the huge background of the changes of the times. A leisurely and soothing pace of life is ideal, but it is undeniable that it still belongs to the context of "agrarian civilization", and today, it has been abandoned by the younger generation who pursue the "fast-paced" and "Gatsby-style" psychology of modern life and the "Gatsby-style" psychology of getting rich overnight, and the "writing village" has become a "hollowed-out" settlement, which cannot escape the doom of "forgotten".
The designer has been to Dali many years ago and also visited Wenbi Village, full of longing and love for Cangshan Erhai Lake, not forgetting the sunshine here, the depth of Erhai Lake and the quiet way of life, in a chance to save down, the owner and designer found here, rent the villagers' houses, and incorporate the local villagers into the logistics service system of the B&B hotel! The logic of the underlying life of "Wenbi Village" has been changed!
When the designer was commissioned by the design of "Wuji Hermitage Mid-Mountain B&B", the attachment to Cangshan Erhai Lake and sunshine buried in his heart many years ago was awakened, and he created a B&B space architecture integrating time, memory and sunshine---- Wuji Hermitage Mid-Mountain Seaview B&B.
01 Survey and combing
This is a space that gathers oriental vacation homestays and has the characteristics of a Bai fishing village, which is very experiential!
After carefully surveying the topography and landform where the B&B is located, the designer found that this is a typical sloping house in the middle of the mountainside, with a bird's-eye view of Erhai Lake from the lower terrain and a deep halfway up the mountain. As a result, the designer came up with an ambitious idea: to build a new building with the characteristics of local Bai architecture in the open space near Erhai Lake, which will be integrated with the old buildings on the high ground to form an architectural settlement, with a height difference of nearly 10 meters, connected by a pedestrian staircase, forming an interesting building with sloping steps.
02 How to stay
In the design process of "Wuji Retreat Mid-Levels Homestay", the designer thought most about why and how people "lived" during the vacation.
...
03 Minutes of light and shadow
Here, the designer grasps the sense of proportion of "defamiliarization". This "strangeness" is epitomized in the treatment of sunlight.
...
This is the charm of "Wuji Hermitage Mid-Levels"!

Room was even better than it looks in the picture. Service of staff was also very good. They even helped to collect my parcel of the parcel collection station before I arrive and was super responsive to all my queries. Was assigned to the highest floor but hotel has no lift and staff helped to carry our luggages up the stairs. Afternoon tea was until 5pm but I arrived later and was still able to enjoy the delicious afternoon tea set. The room was impeccably clean and spacious. There is also a balcony which had a clear view of erhai lake and we can enjoy the sunset just right in the room. We also received flower cake as a gift after check out. Would not hesitate to book the hotel again if we are in Dali again.

The place is absolutely nice and all of us travelled as friends love this place so much. We went up to rooftop and watched the sunrise as early as 6.30am. The air is fresh and I can even heard the birds singing which is very rare in the city.
The rooms are clean and spacious. We booked two single beds in the room but we feel the beds are like queen size bed. (Forget to take room photos). The hotel provide laundry self service as well.
The walking distance to Dali Ancient town took only less than 5 mins is another plus point for this hotel.
Overall, I would like 9/10 for this hotel and highly recommend for those who are still hesitating about this property.

The location is close to Dali Railway Station but quite far from Santorini Dali and Dali Ancient City. I rate the location as excellent because, realistically, you can’t have everything perfect, so we chose the one nearest to the railway station. Overall, everything was good, and the staff, or perhaps the owner, was attentive at first.
However, on the day we were leaving, we were supposed to check out at 12 PM. I couldn’t reach the staff to store my luggage (I wasn’t sure where the storage was). So, we went about our day and headed to Longkan Wharf, returning at 12:04 PM. To my surprise, the lock had automatically changed right at 12 PM, which I wasn’t informed about, and our luggage was still inside the hotel. We had a train to catch at 12:56 PM.
I tried contacting the hotel via WeChat, but no one responded. We asked the guard for help, but he couldn’t do much except try calling the owner, who didn’t answer. Finally, around 1 PM, the owner responded, saying his phone was broken. Unfortunately, we missed our train.
I acknowledge it was my fault for not checking out exactly at 12 PM, but the lack of response from the owner left us without a place to store our luggage. Next time, it would be helpful if the hotel informed guests about the lock system and responded promptly to messages.
That was our bad experience. If it hadn’t happened, I would have rated the stay a solid 5/5. But, things happen.

I stayed at Ting Hua Island Hotel for 2 nights during my Dali trip, and honestly, it was beyond expectations. From the moment I checked in, I felt genuinely welcomed by the team — every staff member was incredibly warm, attentive, and friendly. They even surprised me with a whole birthday cake! I mean, who does that? It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that really made my day extra special.
The location is absolutely unbeatable. The hotel sits right next to the stunning Erhai Lake, and waking up to those endless sea views was pure magic. Watching the sunrise from my room felt like living in a postcard. It’s the kind of view you’ll remember long after you’ve left.
The design of the hotel perfectly complements the natural beauty around it — every corner feels curated for relaxation. Whether it’s enjoying coffee by the window, taking a slow stroll along the lake, or just soaking in the peaceful vibe, everything feels effortless and rejuvenating.
I also have to give a special shoutout to the team at the hotel: your hospitality genuinely elevated the whole experience. Friendly chats, great recommendations for local spots, and always going the extra mile — I felt truly taken care of.
If you’re visiting Dali and want a hotel that blends breathtaking scenery with heartfelt service, Ting Hua Island Hotel is a must. I’m already thinking about my next visit!

Exactly as pictured. (I have a Samsung so it will make colors pop a bit more, but the mountain views on a nice day are exactly as pictured! In fact, it looks better irl)
Was greeted upon arriving by the homestay dog (his name is Huanxi). His son (the one in the cage) was there as well. Huanxi is a very calm dog but if you go up to pet him, he will accept pats.
LOCATION: Other than a brutal 10 minute walk up a little hill, it's quite close to the West Gate side of Dali Ancient Town.
ROOM: Very clean and everything looked brand new. My room was on the 2nd floor so the balcony is right outside my window. You can see mountains from the room (the view might not be the clearest from the room so I recommend going on the 2nd floor balcony or the 4th floor where the washing machine is). The 4th floor provides a 360 view of Dali's mountains and you can see Erhai from afar.
FOOD: They provided a welcoming bowl of fresh watermelons (very sweet!) And Yunnan's specialty rose pastries. They also have Pu'er tea (Yunnan's specialty) in the room or you can request an afternoon tea. I only had breakfast once, but they provide either rice with side dishes or noodles every morning from 8 AM to 10 AM. You can message them on wechat in advance and they can even send the breakfast up to your room.
The homestay employees were all super friendly and there is a painted map on the first floor of main tourist locations. If you speak Chinese, they will give you a thorough introduction of these tourist locations and how to get there. (If you speak English, they'll try their best with a translator app.)

Really enjoyed our stay at Dali Shijing Meisu, the 2 ladies at the front desk were very warm and friendly and made our stay a very pleasant one 😀
The 2 female staffs helped us carry our luggages to our room on the 3rd floor when we first arrived, and always greeted us with a warm smile whenever we came back to the hotel. 👍👍
Also, our stay included breakfast and the meals were delicious and kept us full in the morning 😊
The staffs would always check in with us the day before to remind us to select our breakfast for tomorrow 😊
And on the last day, the staffs gave us this beautiful persimmon candle which smelled so good! It is a sweet gift and lovely gesture. 🥰
Will recommend you to stay at shijing meisu! We also enjoyed the peaceful neighbourhood the hotel was in 😊

GGuest UserSure enough, there is a windy place (the wind is really big), I also came to Dali to live, this small courtyard is in line with my expectations, every day I sleep lazily until I wake up naturally, open the curtains is a green forest blue sky, I like to take a bunch of snacks and hold a watermelon to sit and dig in the lawn in the corridor to eat Hahahahahahaha, if the weather is good, you can lie on the bed and watch the sunset in the evening. The projection in the room is watching the drama. Outside the window is the kind of pink and blue sunset that is not dark! ! ! It's like there is a feeling in the evaluation. It's not like a hotel here, it feels like home. By the way, the most important point! ! ! The proprietress beats the king's hundred stars, and takes the sister to quack cattle! !

XXNYLMy friend and I enjoyed our stay in the 'Yunxi 270° Seaview Terrace Double Bed Room' at Dali.Muxi Inn (大理木兮·半山Villa海景民宿). We found this hotel via reviews on XiaoHongShu and the room looked exactly like the stock photos. The hotel and room were beautiful, the hotel staff were very helpful, and we would highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Dali and are looking for a hotel with an amazing view of Dali Erhai lake.
Number of nights of stay: 3 nights
Hotel location: The hotel is situated in a quiet but brightly lit residential/hotel estate at the end of winding uphill road (around the Dreamland/Santorini 圣托里尼大理理想邦 area), and is located about 20 minutes away from Dali Railway Station. The vehicle drop-off point is directly outside the hotel. The restaurants around the hotel close at about 8.30pm-9pm
Room: The 'Yunxi 270° Seaview Terrace Double Bed Room' is the only room located on the fifth floor. There is a lift in the hotel so it was convenient to transport our luggage. The room was perfect - it was really spacious, beautiful and clean. There was one king-sized bed, which was slightly too soft for my liking, but the pillows (one soft and one firmer memory foam pillow for each guest) were comfortable. There was a large living area with a sofa, three coffee tables and two additional chairs; balcony with two comfortable rocking chairs, a coffee table and a stunning view of the Erhai lake. The sky roof, when opened, was pretty in the daytime but it was difficult to see the stars at night due to the light pollution from the nearby buildings. The open concept wardrobe was large enough for us to hang our clothes
Bathroom: Two sinks, separate shower and toilet area, one jacuzzi. Toiletries (e.g. shampoo, conditioner and body soap), disposable toothbrush/toothpaste, rubber bathroom slippers and disposable bedroom slippers were provided. The shower had both a handheld shower head and rain shower, with good water pressure and temperature
Hotel amenities: Complimentary breakfast (from 8.30am-10.30am; delicious spread of noodles with soup, porridge, fried egg, bread and vegetable platter) and afternoon tea (Lotus Biscoff biscuits, yoghurt, fruits and plums); cafe at the reception area is opened during office hours and only sells beverages; beautiful reception area with a friendly and gentle 5-year-old house cat; communal washing machine (free of charge, inclusive of laundry detergent)
Transfer: Free airport pick-up for this room type. No free pick-up from Dali railway station
JJane.TI recently stayed at a hotel in Dali, Yunnan, and had an overall pleasant experience. The cleanliness of the room and common areas was impressive — everything was well-maintained and tidy, which made the stay comfortable and relaxing.
The service stood out as one of the highlights. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with directions or local recommendations. They made check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free.
But would like to comment on the photoshooting service that this hotel provided, although they stated it’s free, but each room ONLY FREE 5 PIECES NON EDIT photos no matter how many days you stay. So please don’t ask for this service if you don’t want your pocket to have a hole 🤣, would recommend you to have the traditional costume shoot in Lijiang or Shangrila which will cost in cheaper price where they can provide costume rental and full make up. This hotel they charge a very high price for the photoshooting if you want to buy the photos from them.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Lijiang, if they like photoshooting. Or else you can stay in other better choices hotels.
GGuest UserAfter a trip around Yunnan, I stayed here on the last day. It is very close to the high-speed rail station. There is a large garden outside during the day. It is full of hydrangeas. It is also very beautiful on rainy days. There is also a teahouse where you can drink tea.

BBrendaStaff was great and were helpful. They had hot Pu'er tea, milk tea, and rose tea at the lobby. Suggest requesting first floor for older folks because there is no elevator. 7 min walk to Dali Ancient City, 3 min walk out to a main street where a ton of food street vendors set up in the evening.

GGuest UserThe staff was super friendly. We have 2 large luggages and he was willing to carry both on the way walking to the hotel. The room is very clean and has a minimal design. Super chill. The view is perfect, we could clearly see the mountains and ancient buildings. At night, the place is very quiet even though there is a market outside, super nice place. I really love this hotel and would love to come back

GGuest UserThe best hotel experience of this trip is mainly due to the hotel's service. The butler, Liu, is very attentive and meticulous, which is the best service I've ever experienced. Super awesome!!! The hotel scenery is beautiful, located on the edge of Shuanglang Scenic Area, and every angle is very photogenic. The room facilities are complete and considerate, and there are very complete supplies for children, clean and tidy. There is a fruit plate when we arrive. In the evening, they also send good night milk, and the children really like the kittens in the shop. Butler Liu introduced the surrounding attractions, delicious food, and matters needing attention in detail, really considering for customers, and the experience is super good. Next time I come to Dali, I will stay here again👍

GGRACEOur stay at Dali Xingmai Mountain and Sea View Homestay was pleasant overall and a good value for its price, especially if you're seeking a peaceful retreat in the quieter part of Dali. Traveling as a family, we were looking for a place that offered serene sea views, and this homestay mostly delivered on that. While there is some ongoing construction in front of the building that slightly affects the view, the surrounding scenery is still beautiful and calming. The cleanliness of the homestay was satisfactory, and it offers a good range of amenities. The kitchen, in particular, is well-equipped, making it a great option for families or groups of friends planning to cook and enjoy meals together. However, if you're simply traveling for leisure and don't plan to spend much time at the homestay, you may find the kitchen unnecessary. One thing to note is that there is no central air conditioning or heating system. The homestay provides a bed warmer (which works well) and a small air-conditioning unit in the living room, but the bedrooms can get quite chilly at night, especially during winter. It's something to consider if you're visiting during colder months. In terms of location, this homestay is ideal if you're looking to unwind in a quiet and restful environment. However, for those planning a busy schedule with visits to Dali's main attractions, the distance might be a drawback. The homestay is located in a residential area, and getting to most tourist spots can take 45-60 minutes by car, whether you're heading to the west or east side of Erhai Lake. There are also no nearby F&B stores except one small restaurant in the building next door so make sure you eat in the city areas before coming back to the inn. That said, if you're staying for a longer duration and prefer a relaxed, free-and-easy itinerary, this could be a suitable choice given its amenities like the kitchen and laundry facilities. It's also worth mentioning that this homestay feels more like an Airbnb than a traditional inn. It's situated in a residential building, with the entrance being a carpark and access through an elevator to a residential unit. There’s no lobby, service counter, or common areas. Instead, check-in and assistance are handled through WeChat. Despite some of the drawbacks, the service here truly stood out. The staff member assisting us was incredibly kind, prompt, and accommodating. Whenever we had questions or faced minor issues, she responded quickly and made every effort to resolve them, which helped make our trip smoother. Her attentiveness and helpfulness were a highlight of our stay and left a positive impression. While this homestay may not have been our favorite, the excellent service and peaceful setting make it a decent choice for travelers prioritizing quiet and self-sufficiency over convenience and luxury.
我们在大理落日山海海景民宿(洱海店)的整体入住体验还算愉快,性价比也不错,特别适合那些想在大理寻找一处安静避世之地的旅客。我们主要希望找到一个可以俯瞰大海、环境清幽的地方,这家民宿基本满足了我们的需求。虽然楼前有一些施工,稍微影响了景观,但周边的风景依然很美,很令人放松。 民宿的清洁度令人满意,且设施齐全。厨房尤其设备完善,非常适合家庭或朋友团队入住,大家可以一起烹饪和用餐。不过,如果您只是来大理休闲旅游而不会花太多时间待在民宿里,厨房的实用性可能就不大了。 需要注意的是,这家民宿没有中央空调或供暖系统。房间里提供了电热毯(效果不错)以及一个小型空调,但空调只在客厅使用,冬天的时候卧室会有些寒冷。如果您在寒冷季节入住,这一点需要特别留意。民宿位于一个住宅区,从这里到大理的大多数景点开车平均需要45到60分钟,无论是前往洱海西还是海东。此外,周边没有什么餐饮店,仅有隔壁楼内的一家小餐馆。所以建议您在回到民宿前先在市区用餐。不过,如果您计划长时间停留或想要悠闲地度过假期,这里的设施(如厨房和洗衣设备)会让您的入住更加舒适。 另外,这家民宿更像是Airbnb,而不是传统的旅馆。民宿位于一栋住宅楼中,入口是一处停车场,需要乘电梯到达房间所在的单元。这里没有前台、大堂或公共区域。所有的入住手续和服务都通过微信完成。尽管有一些不足之处,民宿的服务确实值得称赞。负责接待我们的工作人员非常友善、迅速且乐于助人。无论我们有什么问题或遇到什么小麻烦,她都及时回应并尽力帮我们解决,这让我们的旅程顺利了不少。她的细心和贴心服务是此次入住的一大亮点,也给我们留下了深刻的印象。虽然这家民宿不是我们的最爱,但出色的服务和安静的环境让它成为了一个还算不错的选择,适合那些更看重宁静和自给自足,而不是便利和豪华的旅客。
Ddeci16I cannot recommend Sunyata Homestay in Dali enough! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was more than just a place to stay—it was an experience of genuine warmth and care. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable, providing a serene escape after long days of exploring. The afternoon tea and breakfast they served were nothing short of extraordinary. I’ve stayed in multiple 4-5 star hotels across China over the past month, but the gourmet food here easily surpassed them all. Every bite was thoughtfully prepared, leaving me in awe of the flavors and quality.
The location of Sunyata Homestay is also perfect. It’s just far enough from the bustling crowds to remain peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to Dali Ancient City that it’s only a few steps away from great eateries and the heart of the ancient town. The balance is ideal for anyone seeking convenience without sacrificing tranquility.
A special shout-out to the young lady working in the coffee shop up front—her coffee is unparalleled! My husband, who is a daily coffee drinker and rarely impressed, couldn’t stop raving about her brews. It was, hands down, the best coffee we had during our travels.
The staff here deserve every bit of praise. They were attentive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our stay memorable. However, what truly sets Sunyata apart is the incredible owner. My father had a bad accident in Dali on a rainy day, and I can honestly say I don’t know what I would have done without his support. Despite my limited Mandarin, he spent an entire day accompanying me to the hospital, ensuring we were well cared for and understood. The next day, he went out of his way to pick up the CT scans for us. His kindness and compassion left me speechless.
The owner’s dedication to his guests is reflected in his amazing team, all of whom go above and beyond. Without his help, I would have had to cut my trip to China short. Instead, he turned a difficult situation into one where we felt supported and cared for like family.
Sunyata Homestay is truly one of a kind, and I will forever be grateful for their hospitality. This is not just a place to stay; it’s a haven of comfort, care, and culinary delights. Thank you, Sunyata, for everything!

Outstanding
TT.W.LBooked the family room at courtyard level as I had elderly and wanted an accommodation which is easy to access. I also did not want to be hoisting luggages up and down and over cobbled streets in the old town and somewhere along the city wall so it is easy to start our tour of the sights around Dali in the morning.
Room: Simple efficient clean layout with open concept. Rooms are relatively new. Sink area is located outside the bathroom which is good. The beds are hard in my opinion but elder felt the bed was comfortable. Bottled water was provided everyday (left outside our door). Room Temperature control was ok and the hot water for the shower heated up quick and could maintain at a stable level which is a plus unlike some other hotels in Yunnan.
There is flight of 3-4 steps to room which is manageable for our elder as the room is slightly raised above the courtyard. We had an early check-in as the room was ready. The staff helped us move the luggages to our room. You could also book the entire courtyard for larger groups. The owner is building additional new rooms in the annex but the construction happens during the day and it is not noisy as most guests would be out.
Location:
It is near the South Gate (there is a local market nearby check the maps or ask the owner) and our local driver could stop right outside our accommodation.
We didn’t get breakfast from the bnb as there were food shops offering noodles, congee and fried dumplings around that open early at 7am. You can also make your way to the local market near the gate. You could also go up the South Gate for free to catch the sunrise or sunset view.
Touring around Dali
If you can comms in Chinese, you could message the owner ahead to assist to arrange for a car transfer from Dali Fengyi Airport or the Dali Railway station to the BnB. It cost RMB50 for us from the Railway station to the BnB. You could also arrange with him for a day driver to take you around the sight seeing places around Dali /Erhai Lake, Mt Cang or a driver to send you to Lijiang. We felt was more efficient and relaxing with an elder. It took ~3h drive instead of travelling south to the Dali train station to ride the train to Lijiang and finding a cab from Lijiang railway to the old Lijiang ancient city.
You could also easily catch a Didi or a cab which could be cheaper. A cab/car ride to the 3 Chong Sen Temple pagodas was about 10rmb for 3-4pax which is comparable to waiting for Bus 4 which cost 3rmb per pax.
