A Designer Guesthouse in Dali That Feels Like Sleeping Inside a Painting — Mangshu · Taotang Hill

Isn't coming to Dali all about zoning out by Erhai Lake! This time I stayed at Mangshu · Taotang Hill Seaview Hotel (Dali Erhai Branch) Absolutely the pinnacle of serene style 🌸 Natural wood furniture and intentionally imperfect gray-white walls, paired with Bai-style gray tile roofs, every snapshot looks like a high-end masterpiece 📸 🌊 Front-row sea view, sleeping right inside a painting • Every room has floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing Erhai Lake; I wake up every day to the sparkling water • While soaking in the bath, you can take in the full view of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake (remember to bring a bath ball for the perfect photo) • Waiting for sunset on the terrace, watching Cangshan change from golden to pink-purple, breathtakingly beautiful 🌄 🎋 Bai aesthetics taken to the extreme • The cracks on the walls are hand-chiseled by craftsmen, creating an artistic feel • The housekeeper said the gray tiles are deliberately aged; on rainy days, the rhythm of water dripping from the eaves is super soothing 🍵 Immersive healing experience • Stretching by the big floor-to-ceiling window in the early morning is incredibly relaxing • Afternoon tea features waffles + Yunnan small bean coffee ☕️ • The biggest surprise is the goodnight sweet soup, different every day, with silver ear fungus soup as my favorite 📍 Super convenient location • A 10-minute walk to the core area of Shuanglang Ancient Town, much quieter than staying in the Old Town • Mu Xi Dali is nearby • Rent a car to circle the lake; the guesthouse provides free maps 🗺️ ✨ Housekeeper service is legendary • A service group was created before arrival, and tea was served upon check-in 🍵 • A farewell gift was given at checkout 🎁, and the handwritten card was so heartfelt 💡 Tips for your stay • Choose a room on the 3rd floor for the best view 🖼️ • Off-season sea view rooms offer great value • Remember to bring a white long dress; photos in front of the gray wall come out amazing • Nearby restaurant recommendations: Corner Time (Yunnan cuisine), Grilled Milk Fan Falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up to the sunshine, I finally understand the true meaning of Dali’s slow life～💕
