Cycling at S Bay! This Dali Hotel Embodies Quality in Its DNA

Cycling Guide: Take a taxi directly to "Panxi Village Ferry" from the hotel—don’t fall for the "direct to S Bay" scam rides! Tips to Avoid Pitfalls: ✅ Arrive by 7 AM for empty shots! Tour groups take over after 9 AM. ✅ Opt for shared bikes—rent and return anywhere (skip the overpriced decorated bikes!). Photo Spots: ① High point above S Bay slope: Capture the full S-curve panorama. ② The Lonely Tree: Navigate directly to "Lonely Tree + Bench." ③ Langqiao (Corridor Bridge): Frame seascapes through its 13 bridge arches. Gear: Sunglasses + windproof jacket! UV levels are extreme. Accommodation Recommendation: I prioritize tranquility and comfort, and since I often stay in Dali for extended periods, I chose **Dali No.5 Courtyard Villa Resort Hotel**. Nestled in Dali Ancient Town, the hotel faces Erhai Lake with Cangshan Mountain at its back, offering sunrise views and sunset hues. The property features year-round green lawns, a lively koi pond, tropical plant gardens, a rainforest-style tea room, a Japanese tatami tea space with a hearth, a succulent garden terrace, and more—immersing guests in nature’s serenity. Additionally, the hotel includes a multifunctional hall and meeting rooms. Its spacious courtyard is ideal for training sessions, exhibitions, or performances. Rooms boast smart controls for curtains, lighting, music, and TV, alongside premium amenities: Daikin AC/floor heating, TOTO smart toilets, Moen fixtures, Kohler heated towel racks, Dyson hair dryers, Husky mini-fridges, 35cm Serta Black Diamond mattresses, 100-thread-count linens, and Chopard high-end toiletries. The bedding is luxuriously soft—"high-quality" is no exaggeration, ensuring instant sleep. The bathroom’s dry-wet separation and smart toilet are standout features. Toiletries are plant-based with an elegant fragrance. Subtle touches like the lobby’s aroma, curated books, and staff smiles elevate the stay. Money well spent—worth every penny! Comfort is the ultimate priority!
