Cloud Check-in! Stunning Erhai Lake, Here I Come

🏠Name: Dali Shuanglang Peninsula Cloud Sea View Inn 📍Location: Dacunpang Village, Shuanglang, Dali Prefecture, about 2km from Shuanglang Ancient Town This trip to Dali was absolutely breathtaking! 🌞 Not only is the scenery stunning, but the slow-paced life here truly helps you forget all your worries. I stayed at the Shuanglang Peninsula Cloud Sea View Inn, which is perfect for photo ops—every corner is picturesque, and you can find the best angles everywhere. 😍 The inn is surrounded by delicious food and quaint little shops. When you're tired from exploring, you can relax in the inn's tea room with a fragrant cup of coffee ☕️ or pick up a favorite book in the reading nook to quietly spend an afternoon. ✅ About the Service The service at the inn is incredibly attentive, with daily housekeeping to ensure a clean and tidy environment. They also offer luggage assistance, which was a lifesaver since we had to climb a stone staircase to reach the inn! Additionally, the inn has a café and bar—sipping drinks with friends in the evening was pure bliss. 🌿 Breathtaking Views of Cangshan and Erhai What stole my heart the most was the private balcony in every room. Standing there, you can take in the majestic views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, especially at sunset when golden light spills over the lake, blending with the blue sky and white clouds—utterly mesmerizing. 😍 I wore a beautiful dress and snapped countless photos on the balcony, each one worthy of being my phone wallpaper! 🏨 My Room I stayed in a lake-view room, where the shimmering Erhai Lake greeted me as soon as I opened the window—it was so healing. The room was fully equipped with air conditioning, a shower, toiletries, and especially that luxurious bathtub. Soaking in it while admiring the view outside was pure indulgence. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I fell into a deep sleep, waking up refreshed for another day of exploring Dali. 🚗 Travel Tips Although reaching the inn involves climbing a stone staircase, the luggage service makes it hassle-free. There are electric bike rental spots nearby, making it easy to visit attractions like Putuo Island and Yuji Island. For an authentic taste of Yunnan, don’t miss the local specialties offered at the inn—it’ll make your trip unforgettable.

🇨🇳 China Yunnan 4 days Itinerary 🐾 Itinerary Overview Recommendations for food 🍄 Perfect score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yunnan Mushroom Hot Pot 🍲 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crossing-the-bridge noodles 🍜 ⭐️⭐️ Rose petal pastry 🌹 🗓️ Day 1 📍Kunming Old Street 昆明老街 🛍️ When we arrived in Kunming, it was already evening. We headed to the Kunming Old Street which was popular for cheap clothing and souvenirs. The streets were vibrant with Chinese traditional architecture with lights and filled with local vendors selling delicious snacks. We bought the Yunnan traditional rose petals pastry 🥮. It tastes sweet and chewy filling with rose petals inside. 🌹 🗓️ Day 2 📍 Laoyuhe Wetland Park 捞鱼河湿地公园🎣 We spent the whole afternoon and evening, a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle 🏞️. The most attractive part was riding a transparent boat 🛶 that glided through the lush, green jungle. 📍Lavender Field 滇池绿道薰衣草庄园 🪻 Near to the wetland, there was a stunning lavender field, where the vibrant purple flowers filled the surroundings with a calming fragrance under the sunset. We took countless pictures, and stayed till night to leave. 🤳 🗓️ Day 3 📍Dali 🚄 Around 2 hours train from Kunming 📍Dali Upon arrival, we visited Erhai Longkan Pier (大理龙龛) and were captivated by the picturesque views of Erhai Lake. The atmosphere was lively, with many photographers offering their services for professional photos. 🎥 Before committing, we requested a couple of test shots to find a photographer whose style matched our vision. It was a delightful experience, capturing the beauty of Dali and its surroundings. 🏞️ 🗓️ Day 4: Dali Photo Studio We booked a photo shooting session at a little farm 👨🌾 that had a variety of animals, including chickens, 🐓 sheep, 🐑 and friendly cats🐈🐈⬛ . Our photo shooting package included 1 hour for makeup 💄and clothing changes 👗, followed by a 2-hour photo session 📸. The studio offered a selection of clothing styles and themes, including western princess 👑 , mermaid 🧜♀️ , and traditional ethnic attire representing the Miaozu and Zangzu minorities ⭐️. After dressing up, my photographer drove us to the little farm. The adorable sheep were gentle who patiently posed and waited till you finished a photo. 📝 Reminder If you’re traveling to China, I suggest you to use the below apps: 1️⃣ 🗺️ Map: Gaode Map Gaode Map helps you find the fastest route to your destinations 2️⃣ 🚕 Taxi app: DiDi Global Always the best price for taxi / private car ride, remember keep track on your routes after getting on the car! 3️⃣ 🏖️ Attractions: RedNote (Xiaohongshu) If you’re confused about where to go next, check the RedNote! 4️⃣ 💵 Payment Method: Alipay Suggest you to use Alipay to prevent extra interest on credit cards 💳
