Close to Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, I stayed in the most thoughtful B&B in Dali Old Town.
My first time in Dali, I got super lucky and stayed in a stylish B&B, a hidden gem like the Grand Budapest Hotel in Dali.
Free parking is available, and a staff member helped me with my luggage at the entrance. The small courtyard has a French retro style with local characteristics, and every corner is picturesque. I fell in love with it at first sight.
Surprisingly, this immaculate B&B is also incredibly thoughtful, offering five-star hotel quality. They have custom-made mousse mattresses, zero-pressure pillows, and, most importantly, earplugs for light sleepers like me (I even brought my own)! I was instantly touched!
The B&B has three floors, each room with a unique style and view. The common area on the third floor offers views of Cangshan Mountain, where you can watch the sunrise and, if you're lucky, even catch the golden glow of the sunrise on the mountain.
Close to Cangshan Mountain and near Erhai Lake, nestled in Dali Old Town, I slowly savored everything Dali has to offer!
