[2025 Dali Stay] Travel Guide for The One Hotels & Resorts (Updated May)

Autumn and winter are the normal way to travel to Dali✅ Along the way, there are golden ginkgo and red metasequoia trees, and Siberian seagulls also arrive as expected. If you have never been to Dali and like taking photos, you must arrange an in-depth tour of the Haixi Line in Dali in winter. Today, I will share the food, accommodation and transportation of the Haixi Line. Strategy . 📖2 days and 1 night guide Day 1: Dali Ancient Town ➡️Longkan Wharf ➡️Cai Village ➡️Panxi Village (Internet celebrity S-bend) ➡️Xizhou Ancient Town ➡️Haishe Park This route is the Haixi Ecological Corridor, which is about 20 kilometers long. You can ride an electric car or a bicycle to Baoxi Village and take a bus to Xizhou Ancient Town. Day 2: Dali THE ONE Ancient City No. 1 Courtyard ➡️Wandering around Dali Ancient City . 🌸Tips for playing: The ancient city of Dali is backed by Cangshan Mountain and faces Erhai Lake. The "chessboard" layout, several main streets can be called four horizontal and three vertical ☑️Fuxing Road: connects the north and south city gates, with various specialty shops on both sides of the bluestone road, and the vegetable market is also located at the end ☑️Renmin Road: The longest old street in the ancient city, and also a place where tourists like to gather. All kinds of desserts, coffee and snacks are on this street ☑️Huguo Road: Very quiet, with almost no tourists, mostly residents of the ancient city here. There are many snacks ☑️Bed Sheet Art Factory: It is located near the south gate of the ancient city and looks like a cultural and creative factory. If you like niche culture and special handmade works, you can go and have a look, but it is very small and you can finish the visit in an hour. 🍜Yunnan snacks: bean powder, pea jelly, Xizhou baba, rice noodle, rice noodle, milk fan 👣Route: Boai Gate➡️Boai Road➡️Honglongjing Road➡️Wuhua Building➡️Wenshu Temple➡️Catholic Church➡️Erhai Gate . 🏨About accommodation Hotel: Dali THE ONE Ancient City No.1 Courtyard Address: No. 9, Boai Road, Ancient Town, Dali City This time when I came to Dali, I checked in on the Haixi Line as I wished. The scenery was like a painting, but I was exhausted after riding along the ecological corridor for a day and wanted to stay nearby to relax. I discovered a secluded courtyard hidden in the ancient city of Dali. It combines Bai ethnic minority dwellings with Hui-style architecture. It has a simple aesthetic, Chinese artistic conception, and the appearance of the courtyard and the sense of space are all beautiful. 🍃About location The hotel is located about 100 meters inside Boai Gate and provides luggage pick-up. It is not only convenient for entering and exiting the ancient city of Dali, but also close to the South Gate of the ancient city, Honglongjing Road, and Wuhua Tower. It is convenient for sightseeing and quiet. 🛏️About the room Living by Cangshan Mountain, an elegant single-family house in the dense forest... Complete facilities, soft and comfortable bedding I booked the "Little Yellow Duck Family Suite", a courtyard villa room type. There are 2 floors, the upper floor is the bedroom and the lower floor is the living room You can enjoy the snow on Cangshan Mountain, the moon on Erhai Lake, and the chirping of cicadas in your ears while lying in bed. When the sun is shining, you can take a rest in the courtyard, soak in the outdoor pool, shake a glass of red wine facing the sunset, and empty yourself. It really feels like the years are peaceful. . The days in Dali are slow Everyone here seems to be able to live their lives like a poem. I'll come again thousands and thousands of times

No. 1 Courtyard boasts a prime location within the ancient city walls, near Bo'ai Gate and a mere 3-minute walk from the South Gate. Staying here allows for effortless exploration of the ancient town, wandering at will. Having visited Dali countless times, my strolls are leisurely, with no need to rush. I revisit familiar streets, encountering throngs of tourists on Renmin Road and Fuxing Road, reveling in the unchanging vibrancy of the ancient town. 1. From the hotel, take a shortcut through the Jiulong Commercial Street to Fuxing Road. Turn right at Cangping Street, and you'll arrive at the Dali Ancient Town Bedsheet Factory Art District. I seem to gravitate towards this tranquil, tourist-free haven every time I'm in Dali. Here, you'll find the Dolphin Ad Bookstore, which originally resided on Renmin Road but relocated due to financial constraints. Its name, inspired by Chen Sheng's song "Dolphin Ad," evokes dreams. The bookstore offers art, design, photography, independent publications, and art derivatives, and also hosts free Cangshan lectures. In the afternoon, sunlight streams through the windows, creating the perfect ambiance for enjoying a cup of coffee. 2. In Dali Ancient Town, I often venture out in the afternoons, spending my mornings at the hotel. After breakfast at the Ting Feng Restaurant in No. 1 Courtyard, I enjoy a leisurely stroll around the grounds. This unique courtyard-style hotel within the ancient city blends Bai and Huizhou architecture, showcasing minimalist aesthetics and Chinese charm. The courtyard's exterior and spatial design are truly captivating, exuding a sense of Zen tranquility. As I wander through the courtyard, I'm enveloped by the pristine white walls, bathed in sunlight, and gaze at the azure sky above, engaging in a silent dialogue with the elegant surroundings. 3. The hotel's courtyard is adorned with numerous maple trees, their foliage transforming with the seasons, adding splashes of color against the white walls and gray tiles. Legend has it that the hotel owner, captivated by the vibrant maple leaves encountered during a trip, decided to plant them in the courtyard. 4. Lavender lines the pathways outside the courtyard, its purple hues evoking romance and auspiciousness. I discovered online that Faye Wong once spent a week at No. 1 Courtyard, and a photo captures her leisurely departing the hotel, with the lavender-lined pathway as the backdrop. From the pathway, the majestic Cangshan Mountain comes into view, its contours and cloud-capped peak clearly visible. 5. The hotel rooms also offer stunning views of Cangshan Mountain, with nearly every room featuring a viewing balcony. I particularly enjoy the One-Bedroom Courtyard, a duplex design with a living room downstairs, a bedroom upstairs, and a private balcony. The breathtaking view of Cangshan Mountain from the balcony is truly refreshing. 6. The hotel has 11 One-Bedroom Courtyards, two of which feature unique courtyard wells with bathtubs. The wells, designed with white sand and gray stone, evoke a Zen-like dry landscape. Charming small Buddha statues add a touch of elegance to the wells. These statues, collected by the hotel owner during travels, are also displayed throughout the outdoor courtyard alleys. 7. I'm particularly drawn to the hotel's courtyard ambiance. With the curtains drawn, sunlight floods the room. Lounging in my private courtyard, I bask in the sun and blue sky. The space offers both privacy and a sense of openness, allowing natural light and ventilation to permeate the room.

Hey everyone 👋, I'm a travel enthusiast who loves pursuing a poetic life 😎. I recently visited Dali during the beautiful spring weather in April, and it felt like stepping into a paradise. Now, I'm sharing my super detailed travel guide with you all. 📍 Dali, located in western Yunnan, is a city full of romance and poetry 👏! The nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain stand tall, their snow-capped peaks a year-round spectacle. The clouds and mist swirling around the mountains create a fairyland-like scenery. Erhai Lake resembles a giant mirror, its azure waters reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the green trees of Cangshan Mountain. The cobblestone streets and Bai-style houses in the ancient city are steeped in history. Dali is like a melodious folk song, telling stories of wind, flowers, snow, and the moon. 🚗【Transportation Guide】 ✈️ If you're flying, you'll land at Dali Fengyi Airport. Although small, it has many routes. After landing, there are buses and airport shuttles to the city center, and taxis are also convenient. If you want to save money, you can take the airport bus. It's slower, but you can enjoy the scenery along the way. 🚌 From Kunming, you can take a high-speed train or an overnight sleeper bus to Dali. The high-speed train is comfortable and fast, while the bus is suitable for budget travelers. Public transportation within the city is mainly by bus. Some attractions have special tourist buses, and you can pay with Alipay or WeChat. It's super convenient to go to the ancient city and Erhai Lake. If you want to visit less-known attractions in Cangshan Mountain, renting an electric car or chartering a car is a free and enjoyable option. 🗺【Recommended Itinerary】 Day 1: Dali Ancient City - Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple - Erhai Ecological Corridor Arrive at Dali Ancient City in the morning, stroll through the streets and alleys, and feel the passage of time. Take in the panoramic view of the ancient city. At noon, try the Posu Baba, a pastry with a crispy crust and rich filling, available in both sweet and savory flavors 😋. In the afternoon, visit the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, a solemn and magnificent millennium-old temple. The reflection of the three pagodas in the water is stunning. Then, head to the Erhai Ecological Corridor, rent a bicycle, and cycle along the lake, enjoying the breeze and the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake. You won't be able to stop taking photos 📷. Day 2: Cangshan Xima Tan Cable Car - Xizhou Ancient Town In the morning, head to Cangshan Mountain and take the Xima Tan Cable Car up the mountain to see the snow-capped peaks. There's still snow on the top of the mountain in April, and the view is breathtaking. Enjoy a local chicken hot pot for lunch on the mountain. The chicken is tender, and the soup is delicious. In the afternoon, visit Xizhou Ancient Town, wander through the square streets, admire the Bai-style architecture, taste the Xizhou Baba, and experience the tranquility and simplicity of the ancient town. Day 3: Shuanglang Ancient Town - Small Putuo - Return Trip In the morning, visit Shuanglang Ancient Town, built along the lake, with many guesthouses and art galleries. Find a lakeside guesthouse and enjoy a relaxing time. Have a clay pot fish for lunch. The fish is tender, and the soup is rich. In the afternoon, visit Small Putuo, a small island in Erhai Lake. Take a boat to the island, feed the seagulls, and watch the sunset. It's incredibly beautiful. In the late afternoon, pack your bags and return home with wonderful memories. 🌟【5 Must-Visit Attractions】 📍 Dali Ancient City: With a thousand years of history, the ancient city is full of charm, with bars, guesthouses, and handicraft shops.

No. 1 Courtyard in Dali Ancient Town is ideally located inside the Boai Gate Ancient Town, just a 3-minute walk from the South Gate of the Ancient Town. Living here, I can go out easily every day and wander around the ancient city at will. Living in No. 1 Courtyard in Dali Ancient Town, I usually stay in the hotel in the morning and go out in the afternoon. After having breakfast at Tingfeng Restaurant, I would take a walk around the yard. I like sunny days, the light and shadows swaying in the hotel building courtyard is really beautiful. This is the only courtyard-style hotel in the ancient city. It combines the styles of Bai folk houses and Huizhou architecture. It has a simple beauty, Chinese artistic conception, and the appearance of the courtyard and the sense of space are all very beautiful. The artistic conception is full of Zen and tranquility. Walking through the courtyard, the oncoming white, the shining sunlight, and the azure sky above your head set off each other and collide to create elegance. There are many maple trees planted in the hotel, which decorate the courtyard with different colors in each season. The autumn wind brings a cool breeze, and the red maple leaves dye the white walls and gray tiles red. It is said that the hotel owner encountered blooming maple leaves during a trip and liked them so much that he planted them in the courtyard. The trail outside the courtyard is planted with lavender. The purple color brings romance and has beautiful meanings. Faye Wong once lived in No. 1 Courtyard of Dali Ancient Town for a week. I found a photo of her leisurely going out on the Internet, and the background was this lavender-filled trail. On the trail, you can look up and see Cangshan Mountain. The veins of the mountain and the clouds on the top of the mountain are clearly visible. The hotel's rooms also offer views of Cangshan Mountain, and almost every room has a terrace with a view. I like the one-bedroom courtyard here. It has a duplex space design, with a living room downstairs and a bedroom upstairs. It also has a small private balcony. When you open the window, the view of Cangshan Mountain comes into view, which is refreshing. The bathtub in the one-bedroom courtyard is located in the courtyard downstairs. It has a very unique courtyard design with white sand and gray stone, and a dry landscape Zen style. In the courtyard, there are also cute little Buddha statues, which add elegance. Not only indoors, but also in the alleys of the outdoor courtyard, you can see many Buddha statues, all of which were collected by the hotel owner during his travels. I personally like the courtyard feel of the hotel very much. When you open the curtains, the sunlight will fill the room. You can lie down and sit in your own yard and enjoy the sunshine and blue sky. While the space is private, it is also inclusive and open, allowing outdoor light to come in and allowing natural ventilation inside. If you are a family traveler, you can choose the two-bedroom Maple Courtyard, two-bedroom Courtyard, three-bedroom Courtyard and other room types. They are large in area and come with spacious outdoor exclusive courtyards. Each is equipped with an independent bathroom, which is very suitable for small families or a whole family traveling together. The overall style of the guest rooms is simple and quiet, which is consistent with the courtyard style of the entire hotel. The bed flags and pillows are tie-dyed blue, adding ethnic elements to the space. There is also a painting decoration on the wall, which actually contains a silk scarf. It is said to be from the same factory as Hermès. It is very beautiful and guests who like it can buy it. The hotel's "Ting Feng" restaurant serves authentic Bai cuisine, including old Kunming cooking pots, old hen soup base, original flavor, accompanied by egg rolls, ham, luncheon meat, crispy pork, vermicelli, pork skin, carrots, tofu skin, day lily, etc. It is most popular in winter. Now, No.1 Courtyard in Dali Ancient Town has been around for seven years and has been well maintained. Last year, all the carpets in the guest rooms were replaced, and this year all the air-conditioning equipment was updated to ensure a comfortable stay. The hotel is hidden in the bustling city, maintaining its tranquility and leisure. In Courtyard No. 1, the history and elegance of Dali Ancient City are at your fingertips.

The sea of ​​Dali is a reflection of the romance! The weather in Yunnan is exactly the same as that at the seaside. What kind of special geographical formation can create this unique colorful south of the clouds? This mystery has finally been explored this time. Land at Lijiang Airport, 5 minutes away by car rental, and set off for Shuanglang Ancient Town! 1.5h🚗 We arrived at [Shuanglang Ancient Town] on the highway. We were deeply attracted by the clouds under high pressure throughout the journey, as if we were watching a dance of water vapor. Heading west along the coastal road, passing Wase Town, Xiaoputuo, and the wetland, stopping along the way, this journey seemed to wash away all the fatigue from work. We arrived at Dali Ancient Town in the evening and chose to stay at the one B&B (which can be considered a hotel). It was beyond our expectations. The price was 600+ in the off-season, with upgrades, breakfast, and rice noodles. We were very satisfied overall. 🥣For dinner, I chose the [Yuanzhi Original Wild Mushroom Hotpot] opposite. If possible, I would like to give it a super 5-star rating! ! ! A must eat! ! The next day, we continued to visit the other half of Erhai Lake. Once we arrived at the beach, dopamine would probably be secreted instantly. It was pleasant to enjoy the breeze, take pictures, or watch seagulls chasing the wind. 🥣For dinner, I chose 🥣【Haidong Eggplant Barbecue】. I used to have a stereotype about Yunnan, but I even think that the service industry surpasses that of Macau. This is my personal evaluation of Yunnan's service industry, and it only represents my personal opinion.

It's the season of red maple leaves 🍁 again. This season is the best time to visit Dali. Seagulls 🐦 are flying around Erhai Lake 🏖, showing off their figures. The ginkgo trees on Yu'er Road in the ancient city of Dali are golden, presenting a beautiful scene of a city covered in golden armor. 🛩When you go to Dali, how can you miss choosing a hotel of your choice? Nowadays, there are so many homestays and hotels in Dali that you don’t know how to choose on the platform. So, I will recommend to you a hotel that I have experienced and is very good 👍. 【Hotel🏨Dali THE ONE Ancient City No.1 Courtyard Hotel】 Traffic 🚁 Guide 🧭 The hotel is located in the ancient city of Dali, about an hour's drive from the airport, and a taxi fare of about 100 yuan; half an hour's drive from the high-speed rail station, a taxi fare of about 50 yuan, you can take bus No. 4 or No. 8, the fare is 3 yuan; then get off at Boai Gate in the ancient city of Dali. Boai Road is not accessible to cars during the day, and it only takes two or three minutes to walk in. The hotel butler will also come out to help pick up the luggage! Environment 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂 The hotel is a villa-style building with a strong Jiangnan Hui style of architecture, with green tiles and white walls as the main tone. The hotel has planted many red maple trees, with one in each villa. Now is the season when the maple leaves turn red, and the red and white colors complement each other beautifully. It’s great to take photos here! The overall facilities of the hotel are very complete, including a breakfast room, a tea room, a cafe☕️, and a SPA. I like to go to the cafe to drink coffee and bask in the sun🌞. There are many ginkgo trees planted here, and the ginkgo leaves turn yellow in winter, which is very beautiful. The weather in Dali is generally good. The temperature difference between morning and evening is larger now, and it is around 20 degrees during the day, so it feels great to bask in the sun in the morning. The coffee is also very fragrant. I recommend everyone to drink Yunnan small-grain coffee, round beans! This time we chose a two-bedroom apartment with an independent courtyard, and there is a bright red maple tree at the entrance. The first floor is the living room and standard room with two 1.2-meter beds. The second floor is a double bed room. The bathrooms are all independent bathrooms. This apartment is very suitable for a family. The room is also equipped with tea and tea sets, which is very suitable for this elderly person. Another highlight of the hotel is the butler service. This hotel has the best service among all the hotels I have stayed in. It is very considerate. Many homestays in Dali basically do not have any service, so if you are traveling with your family, I strongly recommend this one. This hotel has a great location advantage, with the South City Gate and the pedestrian street just outside. The Dali Ancient City Night Market is very lively at night. You can go to Renmin Road to experience the characteristics of the folk pub. There are also many delicious foods nearby, such as wild mushroom hot pot, Bai ethnic minority private dishes or roadside snacks. Special tips ⚠️⚠️⚠️ The temperature in Dali is high in the morning and evening in winter, and it is about 6 degrees in the morning and evening, so you must bring good clothes. The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are very strong, and Dali is especially dry, so sun protection and hydration are also key.

I didn’t expect to encounter the maple leaf season when I came to Dali this time! In the ancient city of Dali, the red leaves, white walls and blue bricks make the autumn so beautiful! From the high-speed rail station or Xiaguan, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the Dali Ancient Town area. If you want to experience the ancient city life immersively, it is recommended to book a hotel in the ancient city. This time I found a beautiful courtyard hotel👇 Dali the one ancient city No.1 Courtyard The room is a small courtyard that combines Dali Bai and modern styles The terrace outside the bedroom on the second floor offers a view of the beautiful Cangshan Mountain and the ancient city. The maple leaves in the yard where we live have all turned red Looking out from the terrace, the red leaves, white walls, green tiles, Cangshan Mountain, blue sky and white clouds are as beautiful as a landscape painting. Walking in the courtyard alleys, it feels like taking the baby back to ancient Dali special ❤️The housekeeper also prepared a full set of children's washing and care for the baby, and was responsive all day long, with full service 🍴The restaurant can be booked in advance for Dali Bai ethnic minority private dishes Breakfast includes local rice noodles and yogurt ~ baby loves it! 🌟The hotel is located in the ancient city of Dali, very close to Wenwu Temple, Honglongjing, Renmin Road and Yangren Street. You can walk to the shops in the ancient city or take a sightseeing bus around the ancient city. Tips: 🌟You can't drive into the ancient city. You can get off at Boai Gate and walk in for about 10 minutes. 🌟This path full of 🍁 is the main road of No. 1 Courtyard of the one Ancient Town in Dali. 🍁It is expected to be even more popular next week!
