Dali Ancient Town Qingyin Homestay, A Hidden Retreat Nestled in the Bustle

Amid the poetic charm of Dali Ancient Town 🌆, Qingyin Homestay awaits travelers like a quiet recluse. It blends the ancient town's allure with the spiritual essence of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake into its courtyard and rooms, becoming a "home" I couldn't bear to leave on my journey 🏡. 🏠 Staying at Qingyin: Serene Moments in a Wooden Haven Pushing open the door, the warm embrace of wooden-toned rooms welcomes you 🛏️. Soft bedding, minimalist decor, and even the stylish little speaker in the corner exude elegance 🎵. Large windows frame the ancient town's green-tiled roofs, lush trees, and the distant silhouette of Cangshan Mountain like a painting 🌲. Waking up to sunlight filtering through sheer curtains in the morning, and curling up in the room with the evening breeze while listening to stories—this laid-back vibe is pure bliss. 🌆 Wandering the Ancient Town: Romantic Trails from the Homestay Located in the heart of the ancient town, just a turn away from the doorstep lies the cobblestone-paved Renmin Road 🚶‍♀️. Stroll past artsy shops and savor local street food: bite into warm rushan (milk fan) with rose jam, its sweetness melting in your heart 🥞. Walk to Erhai Gate to see the collision of ancient walls and modern life, or hop on the homestay's free electric scooter 🛵 for a breezy ride around the town's outskirts—freedom is in the air. 🏨 Thoughtful Service: Details That Make Travel Effortless Here, you'll truly understand what it means to be "pampered while traveling" ✨. The butler asks about your food preferences in advance, serving breakfast with variety: Yunnan rice noodles, freshly baked flower cakes, and even perfectly simmered porridge 🥣. Want to explore the ancient town at night? Don't worry—the butler's handwritten "treasure map" reveals hidden gems like late-night folk bars and locals' favorite dessert shops 🍧. At checkout, you'll receive a parting gift: handmade Dali soap infused with floral scents, packing memories into a fragrant keepsake. 🎭 Unlocking Local Culture: The Homestay's "Cultural Easter Eggs" Don’t miss the tie-dye workshop organized by the homestay! Follow the Bai ethnic auntie as she works magic with indigo dye on white fabric 🎨—walking away with your own hand-dyed scarf is pure pride. If you’re lucky to catch a bonfire party at night, the butler will take you along 🔥. Holding hands, dancing, and listening to local folk songs—this is the soul of Dali, 100 times more thrilling than touristy check-ins! At Qingyin Homestay, Dali Ancient Town isn’t just a backdrop—it’s life outside your window, the bustle just steps away 🎇. From cozy wooden rooms to hassle-free butler service, from romantic strolls to authentic tie-dye and bonfire experiences, every moment whispers: "This is how you should stay in Dali" 💖. I can’t wait to share this beauty on Ctrip Travelogue, making those who’ve never been here crave it too: right in the heart of the lively ancient town, there’s truly a serene retreat like Qingyin, turning travel into "the life we yearn for" 🌿. 📍 Homestay: Qingyin Homestay, Dali 🚩 Location: Heart of Dali Ancient Town (steps away from the bustle) Next time you’re in Dali, skip the overhyped spots—come to Qingyin and sleep in the ancient town’s gentle embrace~

Ready to soak up some stunning scenery and laid-back vibes in Dali? 🍞🌇 My trip was all about epic rooftop sunsets over the Dali Ancient City, delicious street eats, and those classic Yunnan skylines. If Chinese architecture and golden hour landscapes get you hyped, keep reading! Top Spots to Visit — Dali Ancient City Guide: 1. Dali Ancient City (No. 42, Yita Road, Gucheng District, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture) This entire area is an open-air museum of classic Chinese architecture and vibrant lifestyle. Wander the alleys for Insta-worthy rooftops and angled sunset shots. The city is open all hours, so time your strolls for either sunrise or sundown for magical views. 2. Rooftop Hangouts: Find a café or guesthouse rooftop just before dusk. Locals and travelers all love these spots for a chill sunset scene over tiled roofs and distant mountains. Foodie Tips: The Dali old town is packed with bakeries — grab some fresh bread or sample the grilled meats from street vendors. Don’t skip local flower cakes for a sweet treat. The food here is seriously underrated, so snack while you walk! How to Get Around: Skip taxis — rent an e-bike! The old town area is super walkable, and e-bikes make it easy to zip between hidden corners without missing sunset. All main spots are clustered, so there’s zero fuss with maps. Extra Tips: Cash is handy but Alipay/WeChat Pay are also widely accepted. Weather’s best in spring and fall (think sunny, mild afternoons and cool evenings). No visa hassle for most major nationalities—just check trip.com for entry requirements. #DaliVibes #YunnanSunset #ChinaTravel Guide #RooftopViews #TripDotCom #naturalwonders #happyhalloween
