The top choice for experiencing the local lifestyle like in the drama "Meet Yourself" in Dali

May in Dali brings such comfortable weather! Every day is filled with blue skies and white clouds, yet pleasantly cool 😀 This time, I brought my parents along to experience slow living, relax for a while, and fully immerse in the romantic scenery of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake 🌊 That's why we chose the Erhai Villa in Caicun Village on the lake's west side. Upon arrival, the owner was already waiting at the parking lot to help with our luggage~ They were incredibly warm and knowledgeable about the villa's space and prime location, offering plenty of dining and activity suggestions, making this out-of-towner feel right at home 😌 The villa's private parking lot 🅿️ also held amazing surprises❗ A whole street of jacaranda trees + mulberries within arm's reach 🉑 provided an unforgettable experience. Arriving at the courtyard~ White walls and gray tiles, three stories high. From the rooftop, you can overlook the village and gaze at Erhai Lake in the distance 👍🏻 Surrounded by houses of varying heights, with tie-dyed long skirts dancing in the wind on the opposite terrace, the urban texture blends harmoniously with the distant mountain and sea views 💖 The rooms are well-designed and fully equipped. With integrated smart home features, just say "Xiaodu Xiaodu" to activate the projector, sound system, and air conditioning √ We stayed in a tatami room with windows facing the courtyard, ensuring privacy. In the evening, just a 5-6 minute walk takes you to the famous "Caicun CBD" (mention the owner's name at their friend's shop for a discount). The night market is brightly lit, brimming with lively vibes. The streets are where locals gather to cool off and showcase local snacks. Carrying snacks and fruits, plus a pack of Feng Hua Xue Yue beer 🍺, we strolled leisurely back to the villa. The first day's journey concluded perfectly.
