Ocean View Hotels in Yunnan, China

The hotel is at the sixth floor of a building inside a compound. The check-in process was very smooth. The location is a bit far away from the main attractions but is close to the train station, and the view from the room is amazing. It is a pity that our stay was so short, but for us it is was a pleasure to have our breakfast delivered to our building with ******* and enjoy it in our room with the nice view. The service was very nice connecting us with a driver for the day, and offering tips around the area. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

We had an amazing time at Aranya resort. Had to booked this pretty last min cause the previous accommodation cancelled on us 1 week before the trip. The accommodation is located higher than ground level - which is only accessible by car. But you get a clear view of erhai lake. Room was big and spacious, with basic necessity included. Only drawback is no shelter from the time you alight the car to the room, and weather was erratic during our time there, hence there were times we got drenched.

They proactively upgraded my room! I read some reviews saying the room was hard to find, but it was actually quite easy. The room was large and very clean, making for a comfortable stay. The only thing is that check-in is on the 40th floor, which is acceptable. Just make sure to call the property in advance to communicate. The room was very well-equipped.

This is indeed a high-rise unit in Xiaguan with amazing views. Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake are both right before your eyes. The location is super convenient, right next to the Erhai Pier. The room is neatly and warmly decorated. The young lady at the front desk was very enthusiastic and answered all our questions. Everything was arranged perfectly. The auntie at the restaurant was also very thoughtful, preparing different breakfasts every day. There's even a washing machine, which is a great convenience for those always on the go. An absolutely fantastic experience! :)

Highly recommended! The service was excellent. They helped us with our luggage the whole way and even came out to meet us upon arrival. Any issues we had were resolved promptly, and the staff's attitude was super nice. The room was clean and tidy, and very comfortable to stay in! The balcony view was amazing. Every day of our stay included breakfast and afternoon tea, so there was absolutely no need to go to a separate cafe~

Nestled against the majestic Cangshan Mountains and facing the serene Erhai Lake, Dali is an idyllic retreat for many. Yue Shan Hai Resort Hotel transforms this dream into a tangible reality. ”Open the window to Cangshan, fall asleep to the sound of the lake.” 🌍 Location: Tucked beneath Cangshan, overlooking the distant Erhai Lake Yue Shan Hai is located in the core tourist area of Dali, backed by Cangshan and facing Erhai Lake, adjacent to Dali Ancient City. It's approximately a 10-minute drive from the South Gate of Dali Ancient City. The hotel cleverly avoids the hustle and bustle of the ancient city, occupying a prime spot on a hillside that offers panoramic views of Cangshan and Erhai. Attractions like Dali University, Tianlong Babu Film City, and Cangshan Ximatan Cableway are all within a 5-15 minute drive. 🎨 Design: A poetic blend of Bai ethnic charm and caravan culture Stepping into the hotel, the lobby's design is truly unique, artfully combining modern simplicity with traditional Bai ethnic elements. Every detail exudes a rich ethnic flavor and artistic flair. 🛋️ Accommodation: Breathtaking views right outside your window I stayed in the Wangfushanju King Room: The views of Cangshan were absolutely spectacular, taking in the entire mountain range! The mattress and interior decor both exuded a strong sense of luxury! 🚶 Exploring the Surroundings: Mountains and seas, all a beautiful landscape Just a 5-minute walk from the hotel, you'll find the Dali University Night Market, offering a wide array of local delicacies such as grilled milk fan, ice jelly, and Erkuai. The popular Hongsheng Road is an excellent spot for photographing Erhai Lake, where every shot is postcard-perfect. Attractions like the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, Longkan Pier, and Fengyangyi (Having Wind Courtyard) are all within a 15-minute drive. The beauty of Yue Shan Hai has never been solely about luxurious facilities, but rather about the tranquility of ”opening the window to see the mountains and closing the door to hear the wind.” The most beautiful scenery in Dali isn't found at tourist hotspots, but in those quiet moments – listening to birdsong in the courtyard in the morning, watching the clouds from the library in the afternoon, and chasing the sunset from the bathtub in the evening. A vacation here becomes a meditative communion with nature. If you come to Dali, consider spending a few days at Yue Shan Hai. Open your window to Cangshan and let the lake lull you to sleep.

This Shuanglang B&B, highly recommended by my friend, is absolutely amazing! As soon as I walked in, I was stunned by the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. The panoramic views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake are simply breathtaking. Every photo I took turned out to be a stunning, atmospheric shot 📸. ✨ The butler service was incredibly thoughtful! They picked us up at the intersection, helped with our luggage, making our trip with kids so much easier and stress-free. ✨ They even offer free professional travel photography! The photographer was fantastic, and the unedited photos were already perfect. ✨ The public area's afternoon tea was gorgeous, breakfast was nutritious and well-balanced, and they even delivered heartwarming desserts to our room in the evening.

The environment here is fantastic, and the owner is incredibly welcoming! When I arrived, I was on my motorcycle, so I didn't ask for help with my luggage. But when I left, they helped me transport it to my taxi on a scooter, which was so thoughtful. I had booked a room on the first floor, and the owner mentioned it might be a bit noisy. I told them I'm a light sleeper and might need to rebook if it was an issue. To my surprise, they checked and found a vacant room on the second floor and upgraded me for free to an incredibly spacious room! The room itself was beautifully decorated and spotless. I could go on and on with praise! Honestly, if you're coming to the area, you have to stay here. You're right by Erhai Lake, and there's a lovely coffee shop downstairs. The coffee shop is also beautifully designed, the coffee is delicious, and the owner is just as warm and friendly. Plus, there's an absolutely adorable little dog there!

Traveling to Shangri-La, I wholeheartedly recommend Songtsam Retreat at Shangri-La. It offers an immersive ******* experience that truly elevates your stay! The hotel is located right next to Dukezong Ancient Town, very close to the prayer wheel, allowing you to easily soak in the unique ******* culture and atmosphere with just a short walk. The location is absolutely perfect. The entire hotel is rich in ******* charm, with characteristic decorations everywhere, creating an incredible ambiance. Every photo you take here is simply stunning. The rooms are spacious and airy, and exceptionally clean, making for a truly comfortable stay. Considering the high-altitude environment, the guest rooms thoughtfully provide oxygen concentrators and disposable nasal cannulas to alleviate altitude sickness discomfort, showing great attention to detail. And the service is even more heartwarming and attentive. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, but the staff... (The sentence seems to be cut off here, but I'll continue based on common hotel service expectations). A particularly delightful surprise was the in-house travel photography service. The costumes are of high quality, and the makeup is natural, elegant, and not overdone. Sisters who want to take Tibetan-style portraits should definitely book in advance. This stay was a perfect 10 – so gentle and healing. The next time I visit Shangri-La, I will definitely choose Songtsam Retreat at Shangri-La again, and I recommend it to all friends traveling here~

So many hotels by Erhai Lake in Dali, it was hard to choose! I didn't want to stay in the ancient city, so I picked the Pullman. When we checked in, the hotel upgraded our room. The hotel's location is super convenient for food, accommodation, and getting around. Haiyan Restaurant is close by, and there's a fruit store right downstairs. The hotel breakfast offered a wide variety, including local specialties, which was fantastic! The toiletries were L'Occitane Verbena series, and there was a Dyson hairdryer. After our room upgrade, they even gave us a seat reservation card for breakfast – truly top-notch service! The private car service provided by the hotel was excellent. The car was new and clean, and the driver was very genuine and knowledgeable. He took us to a local restaurant with authentic specialties in Xizhou, helped us avoid tourist traps, and dropped us off right at the entrance of every attraction, saving us a lot of walking. I'm so glad we canceled the car service I booked on another platform. Next time I visit, I'll definitely choose the Pullman again.
