The Honglongjing branch in Dali Ancient City is absolutely amazing! 📍 The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Honglongjing Pedestrian Street. Step outside and you're greeted by a gently flowing stream, and you can look up to see the Cangshan mountains. It's just a few minutes' walk to Fuxing Road, the main street, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and dining. 🏡 The ambiance is perfect! The Bai ethnic architectural style blends seamlessly with modern design. The courtyard with its flowing water, flagstone paths, and red lanterns makes every photo Instagram-worthy. At night, when the lights come on, the atmosphere is simply magical, giving off a 'Spirited Away' kind of dreaminess. 💁 The service is incredibly thoughtful! The staff are warm and professional, proactively offering tips on nearby attractions and local delicacies. Their attention to detail really shines through, like providing local snacks and complimentary tea. 🍽️ The overall experience is fantastic! Whether it's the comfortable rooms, the aromatic coffee at the cafe, or the authentic Bai cuisine at the restaurant, everything leaves a lasting impression. It offers excellent value for money. I'll definitely be back to Dali and stay here again next time! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I've been to Dali many times, and each time I try a different guesthouse. This time, the platform recommended ”Yan Chuanshu Inn” based on my preferences, and I was drawn to it at first sight. It's located in the heart of Dali Old Town, in a relatively new area, and it's very quiet. What I absolutely loved was that the guesthouse has three adorable British Shorthair cats! Maikou is a chubby one who loves to lie on the floor and act cute. Tiechui is a Scottish Fold kitten, very clingy, and has the best personality. Gangdan is a British Blue cat, independent and very wary, lively and mischievous – as expected, you can only pet him when he's in a good mood [lol][lol]. Despite that, I still adore them, haha. My stay here was completely therapeutic because of the cats, and also because of the attentive service from the guesthouse owner. The owner has a great demeanor, and the service was impeccable. She helped me with my luggage and, knowing it was our first time exploring Dali, recommended some delicious and reasonably priced food spots in the Old Town [munch][munch]. Furthermore, the room I booked was really spacious, and the bed was huge – a Stressless brand, super comfortable! The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the overall cleanliness was excellent. The cleaning auntie tidied my room daily. The guesthouse courtyard has many flowers and plants, and the rooftop offers beautiful views of Cangshan Mountain ⛰️⛰️. I especially loved going up there in the evening. All in all, the accommodation I chose for this trip was truly wonderful. I think I'll recommend it to my friends next time~[heart][heart]

The room was clean and tidy. It was really cold in Dali during the May Day holiday due to the rain, but luckily the air conditioning had a heating function, which was great! It's very close to the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, about a four-minute walk. The owner was incredibly warm and friendly, helping us carry our luggage both ways. When we left, they even gave us flower cakes!

This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from the South Gate of the ancient city, surrounded by a food street. Taxis and food delivery services are easily accessible. The rooms are comfortable, and the bedding is clean and just right. I booked two rooms, and both mine and my children's were great; the bedding wasn't damp at all and felt very comfortable. The hotel's interior environment is fantastic, and they even provide free clothes for photo ops – my family was taking pictures until past 10 PM on our check-in night. The breakfast is exquisite, and the taste perfectly suited for someone from northern China like me; I'd have two bowls of rice noodles every day until I was stuffed! Finally, the staff's service attitude and enthusiasm were exceptionally good and diligent. This hotel is highly recommended.

I wholeheartedly recommend Yuanlu Hotel. My entire stay was perfectly comfortable with absolutely no downsides! The location is superb, making it incredibly convenient for getting around, shopping, and finding food, without needing to stress about planning routes. The hotel itself is very new, and the guest rooms feature modern, smart facilities. They are clean, tidy, and comfortably laid out, making for a refreshing and upscale stay. The staff's service is attentive and thoughtful, responding promptly to any needs. Every small detail shows their meticulous care, making you feel completely at home. The breakfast quality exceeded expectations, with a wide variety of delicious options. I must especially praise the freshly ground handmade soy milk – it was incredibly fragrant, warm, and subtly sweet, clearly made with quality ingredients. The complimentary afternoon tea was an extra delightful surprise; the presentation was exquisite and refined, and the pastries were thoughtfully paired and just the right sweetness without being cloying. Enjoying tea and desserts at the hotel in the afternoon created a wonderful ambiance. It’s perfect for both solo travel and small gatherings. This will be my top choice for future trips!

I came with a friend's family, and we booked two rooms together. My friend accidentally chose the wrong date, so when they arrived, the hotel told them there were no rooms available for that night. The front desk lady was incredibly nice; she helped my friend store their luggage at the hotel and even assisted them in finding another place to stay. If it weren't for her help, we, being first-time visitors to Dali and unfamiliar with the area, wouldn't have known what to do. Seeing how helpful she was, my friend's family decided to move back to this hotel the very next day. The hotel environment is very quiet, and its location right next to the pedestrian street makes shopping and getting around very convenient. The room facilities are new, and it's exceptionally clean. I'll definitely come back next time.

My stay at the Dali Shanhai Yunjian Hotel completely exceeded my expectations. It's definitely a hidden gem worth choosing if you're visiting Dali! The room was bright and airy with an excellent layout. The bedding was incredibly soft and comfortable, ensuring a perfect night's sleep without any issues. The wet/dry separation in the bathroom was very well done, the toiletries were high quality, and all the essential facilities were available. Everything was meticulously clean, making for a truly comfortable stay. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and attentive. Check-in was efficient and quick, and the staff were patient and thoughtful. Whether I needed directions or tips for local attractions, they provided detailed answers that made me feel very welcome. Getting around and sightseeing was also incredibly convenient. The hotel isn't far from the Old Town or popular spots like Erhai Lake, so you can enjoy a peaceful stay without compromising your travel plans. Choosing this hotel for your Dali trip is an absolute no-brainer. The environment, service, and overall experience are all top-notch. The next time I visit Dali, I'll definitely choose Shanhai Yunjian again. I sincerely recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Dali!

Our mountain view room directly faces Cangshan Mountain, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows take up almost an entire wall – the view is absolutely stunning! The hotel's location is quite good. It's about 1 kilometer from both the Cangshan Zhonghe Cableway and Dali Old Town. Walking to the Old Town is downhill, so it's not strenuous at all. There are quite a few restaurants nearby, but unfortunately, they're mostly average. If you're looking for something a bit more upscale, you'll need to take a taxi. The hotel's front desk service was very professional and attentive. The breakfast offered a wide variety, including local rice noodles, flower cakes, and cold shrimp jelly. However, the stir-fried dishes were a bit too salty, and there wasn't much meat. The hotel offers complimentary self-service laundry, which is very convenient. I've noticed that most four-star hotels in Yunnan generally offer this service. I wish I had known earlier, I wouldn't have packed so many clothes!

Finally made it to Dali! The weather wasn't great during the May Day holiday, but I did get one sunny day (Dali is truly stunning when the sun's out!). There are lots of small alleys and young people setting up stalls, giving it a very artistic vibe, though I confess I don't really 'get' it, haha. Strolling around by myself here is really pleasant. If the weather had been better, I'm sure the scenery would have been even more beautiful, and there would have been more places to explore. I arrived quite late on the first day, but the host waited up for me and was very welcoming. When I left, they even treated me to some flower pastries. There's a very aloof and unique cat in the courtyard, named 'Gongzi' (Young Master) ~ You should definitely consider staying here if you get the chance! As for my Guangdong stomach, it couldn't quite adapt to the local food, but at least this solo trip is now complete~

Staying here was a fantastic escape to the countryside! I loved just gazing out the window at the Cangshan mountains and fields – it was so relaxing and healing. Everything met my expectations, especially the room which offered great value for money and was super clean. The owner was really friendly too, and it turns out he used to be in a band. He even sang us some folk songs, which was such a wonderful and unexpected bonus! This place definitely deserves full marks, guys!

Beautiful homestay, unforgettable trip In the fast-paced life, travel has become the best way for people to relax and find poetry and distance. As a warm harbor during the journey, the homestay is not only a place to rest, but also a unique color for the journey. I recently stayed at a homestay, which left a deep impression on me and made me feel a different kind of warmth and beauty. When I arrived at the hotel, the sight in front of me made my eyes shine. It is located in a quiet mountain forest, surrounded by trees, birds and flowers, as if it is a paradise. The exterior design of the homestay is unique, integrating the traditional local architectural style and modern elements, which is both simple and fashionable. Entering the homestay, the warm atmosphere is coming. The front desk staff greeted us warmly, with a sincere smile on our faces, which made us feel the warmth of home in an instant. After check-in, the staff personally led us to the room and patiently introduced the facilities and usage of the room. The room was very delicately furnished and every detail was handled just right. Clean and tidy beds, soft and comfortable pillows and quilts make people not want to get up as soon as they lie on. Outside the window is a beautiful mountain view. Open the window and the fresh air comes out, which makes people feel refreshed. In the past few days at the B&B, I have fully experienced its excellent service. Every morning, the B&B will provide a rich breakfast, with local specialties, as well as Western-style bread, milk and so on. The environment of the restaurant is also very comfortable. Sitting by the window, enjoying the food while enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window, it is a kind of enjoyment. In addition to breakfast, the hotel also provides afternoon tea and dinner service. The dishes are colorful and the taste is very delicious. The hotel's entertainment facilities are also very complete. There is an open-air swimming pool, jumping into the cool water in the hot summer, which can both relieve the heat and relax. There is also a chess room and a library for guests to entertain and read in their leisure time. In addition, the homestay also organizes some outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountaineering, etc., so that guests can better integrate into nature and feel the charm of nature. The experience of staying at the B&B made me gain a lot. It made me feel what is really ”home away from home”. In this fast-paced society, people often ignore the details and beauty of life. This homestay, but with its enthusiasm, caring and professionalism, let me regain that love of life and the pursuit of beauty. At the same time, this experience also made me understand a reason: a good homestay is not only a place to provide accommodation, but also a home that can let guests relax and feel warm. It needs to be operated with care and pay attention to every detail to make guests have an unforgettable experience. Looking forward, I hope to have more opportunities to stay in such a homestay. At the same time, I will also share this wonderful experience with friends around me, so that more people can feel the charm of the homestay. In my future trips, I will also pay more attention to accommodation options, choosing homestays that can provide quality services and unique experiences, so that every trip will become an unforgettable memory.

Many people come to Dali to heal their wounds, but I was different. I came here for a long-planned escapade. Traveling before the National Day holiday was perfect – no crowds, and most importantly, the weather was fantastic! Every day was filled with blue skies and white clouds, making for beautiful photos without any filters. The best part was the guesthouse I found online. It's located on Yu'er Road near the East Gate of Dali Old Town, just a five or six-minute walk from Erhai Gate and Renmin Road. The alleyway is right next to the main road, surrounded by restaurants and food stalls. The guesthouse has a fresh, clean style, exactly like the pictures. There's even a small pool in the courtyard, perfect for taking photos. The rooms were spotless, and the service was excellent. They helped with my luggage, helped me rent a car, and recommended great restaurants with good value. I completely avoided any bad experiences. You don't need to do any research before coming here. I rode a bicycle along Erhai Lake, enjoyed the breeze, drank Dali's local beer, ate roasted milk fan, and rode horses in Fengyangyi. In short, I loved everything about Dali and will definitely come back again, especially to Eight Mile.

The location of the B&B is very good. It is on Yu'er Road, which is the main street of the ancient city. It is very lively and very convenient for going out for fun. You can see Cangshan Mountain when you leave the B&B, and it's only 1 or 2 minutes away from the supermarket next door. The B&B starts to get quiet around 10pm, so even though we are light sleepers, we can sleep well. The taxi can go directly to the door of the B&B, so there is no need to drag your suitcase along the stone road. The room is very clean, the boss is super friendly, and the room price is very favorable.
