This is the most satisfactory hotel among all the hotels I booked for the Spring Festival trip! It has a very B&B cultural atmosphere, and the B&B will also organize some local activities for you to participate in. Although it is a B&B, it does not lose the service and management standards of a hotel, and the hygiene level is also very high. Maybe it’s because the boss is a foreigner, the overall standard is still very high. The boss is also very interesting, likes Chinese culture, and maintains the B&B very well. He likes to do it himself. It’s also interesting to see him brushing the railings. Walking in the yard naked 🦶, very down-to-earth 😬😁
There is also a terrace where you can directly see the rice fields, which is very comfortable. The first choice for vacation and leisure! ! ! !

The hotel is a national cultural relic. The courtyard is a former wealthy family. It is a traditional Bai building with a courtyard. The garden, cafe, children's playground, and study room are very comfortable just to be in a daze. Living in the hotel is like living in the scenery. Of course, taking pictures is very good. It is in the ancient town of Xizhou. Next to and behind is a large green wheat field. It only takes a few minutes to walk to the snack street. If you are tired and don't want to go out to eat, you can eat clean and delicious food in the hotel restaurant. The restaurant environment is elegant. Chatting with family while slowly tasting the delicious food, the fatigue disappears instantly. I will stay here again next time I come to Xizhou. It's comfortable. I met Mr. Linden, who greeted the guests staying in the hotel enthusiastically. The clerks were thoughtful. Thank you to the uncle at the door for helping us carry our luggage.

The Yang Pinxiang House Ancient House Exploration Tour, in-depth interpretation of the charm of historical buildings:
It took about 30 minutes to introduce the history of the house, which was great
Walking in Xizhou Ancient Town, exploring the lively charm of the morning market:
It's worth it! A very fulfilling morning!

One of the surprises of the trip to Dali was choosing Xilinyuan, with its exquisite three-courtyard, national-level Bai ethnic group door design, and unparalleled views of the terrace. No matter how noisy the ancient town is, once you enter the courtyard, your heart will calm down. Even if you don't go anywhere, it's a wonderful experience to eat, drink and play in Xilinyuan. The lady working at Xilinyuan will also tell you about the historical changes of the old house and the wonderful door. It was also very interesting to follow her around Xizhou the next day to understand the local customs and practices. I took the initiative to upgrade the room when I checked in. The interior details were perfect, the bedding was extremely comfortable, and the food was excellent. I hope to come back and see it if I have the chance.

The decoration of the hotel is thoughtful, but the breakfast service is poor. It is cooked before the guests arrive. The food is basically cold. It feels very bad in winter. I hope the hotel can correct it.

I knew about Linden House about ten years ago, but I never had the chance to go to Dali. I finally had the chance to experience it during the New Year's Day holiday. First of all, I recommend that you must participate in the two tours of the hotel, which are very valuable. Secondly, I think one of the highlights of the hotel is the service. Unlike the surrounding B&Bs, Linden House is already a hotel, so there are more staff. I feel that its staff have a stronger sense of belonging, rather than working step by step like hotels in the city, so I think the staff here is a great asset. Of course, I was fortunate to meet Mr. Linden and chat for a few words. The room is actually better than I thought, because it is indeed a bit old and the bathroom style is old-fashioned in the photos, but the actual experience is not bad. The only regret is the sound insulation problem. It is recommended that people who sleep lightly can ask the hotel first and choose a non-connected room on the second floor. Overall, it was a very good experience.

The Linden Centre is located in Xizhou, a Bai minority village with thousands of years of history in Dali. Situated between the foothills of the towering Cangshan mountains and the boundlessly blue Erhai lake (3 km), close to Dali Old Town (17km), Xizhou enjoys beautiful scenery and a pleasant spring climate all year round.
The Linden Centre was originally built as a private residence by Yang Pinxiang, a local businessman trading on the Tea-Horse Road in the early 20th century. The site has been carefully restored to its original grandeur, preserving the traditional materials, artwork, and wood carvings and still includes three courtyards and a lush private garden and terrace overlooking rice paddies beyond the Centre’s walls.
All areas of the hotel have access to free Wi-Fi, and each room is equipped with traditionally Chinese bedding arrangements and locally crafted wooden furniture, an electric kettle, air conditioning, hairdryer, bathrobes, and a full private bathroom. In order to preserve this national heritage site, we have a designated smoking deck in the back courtyard but do not allow smoking inside the hotel.
At The Linden Centre, the magnificent history of Chinese culture is accessible to every guest. We stand apart from other boutique hotels by prioritizing experience over luxury and promoting a new model for experiential travel. We believe heritage protection to be a substantial component for a culturally sustainable business. The Linden Centre’s goal is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and culture between our guests and the traditions and history of our community.
After check-in at the Linden Centre, you will experience more than just a hotel room. The Linden Centre has 16 rooms and a variety of warm public spaces to make you feel at home. To facilitate a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of Xizhou and the traditions of the Bai people we offer several interactive activities like a walking tour of the morning market, calligraphy classes, a local
