Dali She Yu Inn

Animal-Friendly Environment: The guesthouse is home to numerous cats and a friendly corgi, delighting animal lovers. The presence of these animals adds joy and a unique charm to the stay, and they are well-cared for and approachable.

She Yu Inn was the first home stay I’ve ever stayed in Dali. It didn’t disappoint me at all. She Yu has a well maintained beautiful garden featuring a pool with golden fish. The pool is well designed wandering through the garden full of local plants and flowers. Depending on the season it offers a variety of colours. As it is early autumn now, hydrangeas and bougainvillea are the dominant colours. There are a dozen of cats with different breeds living on site which are all very friendly and playful. The cats are surprisingly led by the only one corgi whose name is Ji Xiang or lucky or auspicious in English. If you are into Chinese tea culture and calligraphy, you are lucky to spend time in the onsite tea house. The suite I stayed in has traditional wooden handmade furniture which are all very beautiful. The queen size bed is very comfortable and bed linen is clean and fresh. The suite has all the facilities I needed to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable including a big bath tub, clothes dryer and bathroom ceiling heater. Staff and the owner are all very friendly and helpful. I left my stuff behind after checking out. The staff offered free shipping to my current hotel which was so sweet. The location is perfect as it is not far from the South Gate of Dali ancient town but stays away from noisy and busy streets. I can see Cang Shan mountains in my room too. No matter you are travelling solo or with families and friends you will feel like home in She Yu just like me. With all the wonderful memories I continue my journey through Yu Nan. I know I will come back here in the near future. Thanks to all the staff and the owner in She Yu who made my stay so welcoming. All the best and take care until we meet again
