Dali Mingyuetang Garden Designer Resort Hotel

this hotel is super super awesome, location is perfect, located right outside the old town so it's super quiet but still convenient the place itself is stunning. it was recently renovated and done seriously well (they even used hansgrohe in the bathrooms!). my favorite part was the courtyard with the old osmanthus tree and a cool stalactite. it's gorgeous. but the real reason to stay is the people. the owners and staff are the most helpful and friendly crew. the lady owner is impossibly young looking, seriously, my wife said the lady owner looks so young and pretty as if she is 21 years old, d her husband is also an awesome guy, he even invited us to hang out eat and drink with them! they have staff from shandong and dongbei too who are full of great stories and food recommendations. they really pointed us toward the delicious local spots, thanks a lot :) i post modified pictures of their lobby and people, they are super awesome!! quick tip: don't just book the basic room online, try to reach out to them and ask for recommendations or information, they have a ton of different rooms each with unique specialties and they can help you find the absolute best one for your stay i highly recommend this spot!
