Not in Bali! Stayed at a waterfront homestay in Dali

Girls, I went to Dali again recently! Summer in Dali is truly healing, with lush green rice fields, flowers covering the mountains, azure Erhai Lake, and Miyazaki-style clouds... This time in Dali, I stayed at a waterfront homestay in Shuanglang I've stayed at quite a few homestays in Dali over the years but I was still amazed by this one! I couldn't wait to share it with you all as soon as I got back! 🏨: Dali Qianli Zouki Yunhe Hotel 📍: Inside Shuanglang Ancient Town, Dali I stayed in a waterfront terrace room, with a Bohemian style that's perfect for vacation photos. As soon as you open the door, you see the sparkling Erhai Lake and your feet can touch the water when you step down! The terrace is surrounded by Instagram-worthy greenery 🌿 It feels just like vacationing in Bali! This homestay also has 270-degree waterfront terrace rooms but they were too 🔥 during summer vacation and I couldn't book one 😭 Bohemian decor + incredible Erhai Lake views It's so relaxing to enjoy afternoon tea or breakfast here! Oh, and the afternoon tea is 🆓!! It tastes great and is beautifully presented, perfect for taking atmospheric afternoon tea photos!

✨ Wandering Through Dali, Yunnan ☁️ ✨ Yunnan has always been on my travel wish list, and this time I finally made it to Dali — a dreamlike town surrounded by mountains and the sparkling Erhai Lake 🌊⛰️. Every corner here feels like it’s been kissed by the wind and painted by sunlight 🎨☀️. 🚙💨 Our first stop was the Jeep Flower Field 🌸🌼 — a sea of colorful blooms stretching endlessly, with classic Jeeps parked for that perfect “wanderlust” photo moment 📸✨. Standing among the flowers, I could feel the peace and freedom that only nature can give . Next, we visited the Santorini-style spot 💙🏛️ — pure white buildings with blue domes overlooking Erhai Lake. For a second, I almost forgot I was in China and felt like I was in Greece 🇬🇷💭. The breeze from the lake carried the scent of sunshine and freedom. Then came the Lovers’ Bridge 🌉💞 — a romantic spot said to bring good luck in love. Even the air here feels softer and sweeter 🕊️💕. Maybe wishes really do travel across the bridge to the sky ✨. Of course, no trip to Dali is complete without exploring the Ancient Town 🏮⛩️ — cobblestone streets, vintage teahouses, and local crafts everywhere. I sipped rose tea 🌹🍵, listened to street musicians 🎶, and watched time slow down. And finally, standing by Erhai Lake at sunset 🌅, watching the colors melt into the horizon, I felt completely at peace. The reflection of the mountains, the sound of waves, and the cool breeze reminded me — sometimes, happiness is just being here, now 💫💖. 🌈✨ Dali, you’ve captured my heart — I’ll be back again someday 💌 #Dali #Yunnan #TravelDiaries #ErhaiLake #Wanderlust #SlowLife #TravelMoments 🌸🌊💙

Erhai Lake Winter Escape: Blue Skies & Cherry Blossoms Await 🌸🏞️ Visit Dali’s Erhai Lake in winter and you’ll catch a stunning blend of crystal-clear blue sky, crisp air, and the delicate surprise of cherry blossoms along the shore! This season is perfect for a peaceful, photogenic escape. Recommended Route: Start your day cycling or e-biking the lakeside road (rentals are easy in Dali Ancient Town) and stop at must-see villages like Shuanglang for cozy cafés, or Xizhou for old Bai architecture. Set out early to enjoy the mirror-like morning reflections on Erhai and spot hidden cherry blossom lanes—especially near Caicun and Haidong villages. Practical Visiting Tips: Go midweek for fewer crowds and easier café reservations. Winter here is sunny but chilly (bring layers!). If you’re after cherry blossom shots, visit early January—local drivers know all the hidden blossom nooks. It’s easy to bike, but roads can be slippery after rain. Don’t forget a power bank for all those lakeside shots! #Dali #ErhaiLake #WinterTravel #CherryBlossom #ChinaNature
