Popular lakeside café at Erhai Lake in Dali City

In Dali City, Yunnan Province, one of the most famous attractions is Erhai Lake. During my one-night stay here, I had the chance to visit a renowned café that everyone must check out—Xindi Coffee House. The café opens early in the morning and is truly popular, attracting many Chinese women who come to take photos. The café has multiple floors and various seating options, offering plenty of photo-worthy spots. Ordering food is convenient; you scan a QR code at the table, place your order, and pay via Alipay. Although I encountered some issues with the app, the staff were very helpful and resolved the problem. I ordered a rose latte, which was delicious and had a unique flavor with actual rose petals included—I even tried eating them, which was quite an interesting experience. The other dish I tried was crispy French fries topped with cheese, served with ketchup and mayo. Enjoying the food while admiring the view was delightful. The total cost was around 119 yuan. Personally, I loved this place. The photo opportunities are fantastic, the food is tasty, and the staff are very accommodating. I was thoroughly impressed!
