Choosing Yunying Chunxiao·Shuiyuan is truly a love-filled experience. The hotel is right on the shore of Erhai Lake, offering stunning views of the sea right from your window. Enjoying the sunset in the evening and falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night is incredibly therapeutic. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a simple yet sophisticated décor and complete with smart devices, making the stay super convenient.
Our butler, Ms. Su, was incredibly attentive and helpful, assisting with itinerary planning and recommending off-the-beaten-path attractions. From breakfast and evening sweet soup, the attention to detail was impeccable. The complimentary travel photography experience was also excellent; the photographer was very professional, taking photos in the public areas that turned out beautifully, and the rooftop camera position for panoramic views of Erhai Lake was absolutely stunning. If you want to experience a truly slow-paced life in Shuanglang, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Guest UserThe owner is really nice, patient and helpful. My Chinese isn’t really good but he was understanding. I wasn’t feeling well and he was very kind to check up on me with an oxygen canister. He will also bring you down to the bus stop. The place is really clean and had really nice views. It was really one of the best stays I had. Will highly recommend! The breakfast was really wholesome and hearty too. They also have really cute pets.Do ask him any questions you have regarding the routes around Dali or even to other cities!

Guest User【Convenient Travel】Airport transfer (choose one) or airport/high-speed rail station transfer for stays of two consecutive nights (choose one of four): It's only a 10-minute drive from the airport, which is super convenient. Plus, the lady at the front desk was waiting for me early in the morning to drive me, which was very thoughtful.
Facilities: The room facilities really offer great value for money. There's a mini-fridge, a Laifen negative ion hairdryer just like the one I use at home, and the central air conditioning heats up very quickly!
Environment: The Erhai Lake is right outside, so I watched the sunrise in the morning, had breakfast, and felt fantastic.

This stay exceeded my expectations, so I must leave a well-deserved 5-star review! The hotel is in a great location with very convenient transportation, dining, and shopping nearby, making getting around a breeze. The lobby is clean and bright, and the front desk staff are warm and welcoming. Check-in was efficient, and they even proactively introduced nearby attractions and local food spots—such a thoughtful touch. The room was spotlessly clean with a practical layout, good lighting, and ventilation. The bedding was soft and comfortable, the pillows were just the right height, and I had a wonderfully sound sleep at night. The bathroom features a dry and wet separation design, stable hot water, and a full set of toiletries. The breakfast had a wider variety than expected, offering both Chinese and Western options that tasted quite good. Overall, it offers fantastic value for money and is well-suited for both business trips and leisure travel. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in town, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Lize from South AfricaWe thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at Hidden Mist (listed on Trip.com as Santorini National Tide Sea View Resort). If you are looking for a relaxing stay with beautiful lake views, outstanding hospitality, and easy access to the Dreamland Resort area, I would happily recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
Location:
The hotel is located within Dreamland Resort on the eastern side of Dali, approximately 20 minutes from the airport, 30 minutes from the railway station, and around an hour from Dali Ancient City. We stayed near the Ancient City first before moving here, which I would recommend for anyone wanting to explore both sides of Dali.
The resort is large, beautifully maintained, and very walkable. Complimentary golf cart shuttles regularly transport guests around the resort, while taxis are easy to arrange from the main entrance. There are quite a few staircases throughout the property, so it may not be ideal for guests with limited mobility.
Service:
The service was exceptional and one of the biggest highlights of our stay. Before we even arrived, the hotel contacted us by email and created a dedicated WeChat group with staff from different departments so we could ask questions or request assistance at any time. Everything felt organised, personal, and effortless.
From the moment we arrived, a golf cart was waiting to collect us from the resort entrance. Throughout our stay, the staff regularly checked in to ensure everything was going well and genuinely cared that we were comfortable. The handwritten welcome note, housekeeping notes after each room clean, and staff asking what time would be most convenient to service our room were thoughtful touches that made us feel truly looked after.
Although our booking only included a complimentary airport or railway station pickup, the hotel kindly arranged an airport drop-off instead because we had arrived from another part of Dali. This was greatly appreciated.
Room & Cleanliness:
We booked a room with a private garden overlooking Erhai Lake, and it was absolutely worth it. Waking up to the peaceful lake view each morning quickly became one of our favourite parts of the stay.
The room and bathroom were spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. Everything still feels new and exceptionally clean. The large soaking bath, with bath milk replenished daily, was perfect after a day of exploring.
The shower had excellent water pressure. As someone with very long hair, I found the shampoo and conditioner a little drying, so I would recommend bringing your own. The secure WiFi was reliable and fast enough for both my husband and me to work during our stay.
Breakfast & Dining:
Breakfast was excellent, with a choice between a Western breakfast and a local Yunnan set menu. We tried both, and every meal was fresh, well presented, and delicious.
As we had an early flight on our final morning, the hotel prepared a takeaway breakfast for us, another thoughtful gesture that reflected the level of service throughout our stay.
Our booking also included complimentary afternoon tea with cakes and fresh fruit. It would have been even better if guests could also choose a complimentary tea or coffee. The room includes quality tea, a premium kettle, and a mini fridge, although adding coffee would be a welcome touch, especially in Yunnan.
Facilities & Surroundings:
The hotel has a convenient power bank rental station in the lobby, and Dreamland Resort is full of beautiful cafés, viewpoints, and photo spots. Flomis Garden is less than a five-minute walk away, making it incredibly convenient for visitors.
Our booking also included a traditional tea ceremony experience, which unfortunately we did not have time to attend. We also received a beautiful woodblock print as a farewell gift, which was a lovely surprise.
Overall:
Hidden Mist combines beautiful accommodation with genuinely outstanding hospitality. The attentive staff, thoughtful personal touches, spacious rooms, exc

This was the second guesthouse I stayed at in Dali, and I loved it! The environment was quiet, with a beautiful little courtyard, adorable cats, and it was very close to Erhai Lake! The room was clean and tidy, and the decor looked new! Breakfast was simple—just porridge, eggs, corn, and sweet potatoes—but I felt treated with care! The only downside was that the water heater broke down at night, so I couldn't take a shower! Actually, it deserved full marks! Overall, aside from the water heater issue, I was extremely satisfied! If I have the chance to come to Dali again, I'll definitely book this place again, and hopefully the water heater won't be a problem then!

🌲 Dali Cangshan Oxygen Retreat | Living in This Forest, I Kicked My Phone Addiction🍃
Seriously, I'm so grateful! The biggest surprise of my Dali trip wasn't the ancient city or Erhai Lake, but this forest B&B nestled halfway up Cangshan Mountain 🌿. As we drove up from the city, the urban hustle and bustle slowly faded, replaced by lush greenery and the sound of pine trees swaying in the wind.
🌄 **The Rooftop is Pure Soul:** I was absolutely stunned the moment I stepped onto the rooftop – the nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain stood behind me like a majestic screen, with the entire Erhai Lake and scattered Bai ethnic villages stretching out below. The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple were faintly visible. In the morning, drawing back the curtains revealed a sea of rolling clouds. In the evening, I'd sit on the swing chair on the terrace, watching the sunset paint Erhai Lake a honeyed gold 🍯. At night, a glance upwards showed the Milky Way so clearly it brought tears to my eyes ✨.
🌿 **Immersive Mountain Living:** Hydrangeas were in full bloom in the courtyard, and dappled sunlight filtered through the treetops onto the wooden floors. The natural wood-toned room had floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, making it feel like sleeping right in the forest 🌲. There were also three resident cats, each with their own unique personality, taking turns on patrol. Every day was spent petting cats, gazing at the mountains, and simply daydreaming – my phone stayed at 90% battery, I didn't even want to touch it.

Anonymous UserThe view was fantastic; I could see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right from my room.
Service was excellent, with very efficient pick-up and drop-off services, and they even offered traditional clothing for photoshoots.
The food was delicious; the Bai ethnic chef, working unhurriedly and methodically, prepared everything perfectly.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!

Returning to Dali from Jizu Mountain, I temporarily chose to stay at Jinsuo Island. I have been to Dali many times, and this is my first time on the island. This hotel is indeed the most satisfactory one. The room has an unbeatable sea view. You can see the sea and the sunrise while lying on the bed. The facilities are very smart and the hygiene is also very clean. Super cost-effective!
The breakfast in the sea view restaurant is also a little surprise.

Guest UserThis was my first time staying at a guesthouse, and it was such an amazing and pleasant surprise! The staff were warm and attentive, even proactively helping us with our luggage. There are free sodas and snacks available in the lobby, and the rooftop swing is a great spot for taking photos. Because we checked in late and checked out early and missed breakfast, the staff thoughtfully prepared a breakfast pack for us. When we entered the room, they carefully explained all the amenities, and before we left, they even gifted us two cans of tea. It was full of thoughtful little touches and really heartwarming. Highly recommended!
