"The location of the hotel is very good. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the ancient city. The Ximatan cableway to Cangshan is also very close. If you want to walk up the mountain, there is also a small path to Cangshan's Yudai Road. It is so convenient. The rooftop terrace can see 360 degrees of Erhai Lake and Cangshan, and the sunrise and sunset are invincible. There is a stream of Cangshan 18 streams passing by the hotel, and you can hear the gurgling water in the yard. Absolutely a unique environment.
The hotel's breakfast is very clean and hygienic. It is made by the owner's mother every morning. The shredded radish and egg custard taste super good. The rice noodles are also cooked freshly. The buns are steamed by themselves. They may not be the same every day, but they are all delicious😋
The hotel is opened by a couple of Tai Chi masters. It is very Zen. People who are destined must not miss it."

"This is one of the best experiences in Dali! The boss was generous and upgraded the room to a big one. My daughter liked it very much and said it was the most comfortable hotel she had ever stayed in.
The little brother was very nice and patiently picked us up and dropped us off. He also played chess and chatted with the children. When my daughter left, she said she was reluctant to leave him.
The hotel environment is good and quiet. It is backed by Cangshan Mountain. You can see the beautiful Erhai Lake as soon as you open the curtains.
The boss also enthusiastically recommended nearby attractions. In short, it was a very good experience. My daughter said she would stay here again next time!
Every Enjoy Nuts: Delicious, breakfast is also delicious"
"Location: It is located at the foot of Cangshan Gantong Cableway, about 15 minutes' walk away. It seems not far from Dali University. It is within 10 minutes by taxi from Fengyang City and about 15 minutes by taxi from Dali Ancient Town.
Room facilities: The detailed design and hygiene are good, and the room is large enough. There is a small balcony where you can only see Cangshan Mountain. On the roof of the third floor, you can watch the sunrise in the morning and the stars at night.
The breakfast was great. Desserts and milk were given as a gift when I checked in. The service at the station was also good.
Overall, the facilities and services of the villa are excellent. Since it is in a villa area, it is very quiet and relaxing. Of course, if young people like to be lively, this villa area may not be suitable.
The video was taken of Erhai Lake on the roof of the building at around 6 o'clock in the morning. Due to the weather, I regretted not being able to see the sunrise."
"More than a decade ago, my husband and I came to Shuimo Inn. At that time, there was only this inn in the entire Jinsuo Island. Staying here for a few days was like escaping from the hustle and bustle of the world. More than a decade later, we came to Yunnan with our nine-year-old son and stayed here again. The layout and atmosphere of the inn have not changed, but it is more refined and beautiful. It can be said that this is the most beautiful place in the entire Jinsuo Island. The young man who received the inn has also been here for more than ten years. He said that he has changed from a handsome boy to a vicissitudes uncle. But he is still passionate about his work. He is careful and thoughtful. There is a cute dog named Jindou in the garden. The children love it very much. We were reluctant to leave it after playing with it for an afternoon."
"A particularly satisfied homestay, warm and literal, elegant decoration, details in place, smart toilet and Dyson hair dryer can see the quality, and the homestay also provides a lot of children's board games toys, children especially like, the legendary Sheniu boss did not see, but the service of 3 soft girls, It seems like there is a wind blowing through the plot!"
"Overall, the feeling is very good! The housekeeper was able to solve the minor problems in the king-size room in a timely manner and helped us change to a suite, which greatly improved the living experience. At the same time, the breakfast category is very rich. If you come to Dali, living at the foot of Cangshan Mountain is also a good choice."
"Arriving in Dali from Shangri-La, and finally free from altitude sickness, the moment we opened our room door to a stunning sea view was pure bliss. The room was very well-equipped, the bedding was incredibly comfortable, and there were many thoughtful touches, like earplugs, charging cables, and disposable toilet seat covers. The staff were also exceptionally attentive; they first upgraded our room. And because we were leaving very early the next morning and would miss breakfast, they kindly brought us bread and milk the evening before. What a fantastic experience!"

Perfect
JJingshumileThe room was spotless, and the bathroom was completely mold-free, which we really appreciated. The views were fantastic; we could admire Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake directly from our room. The lobby also offered breathtaking views, and we even met Saipan, an incredibly cute resident cat. We were so envious of Saipan, just lounging around all day, soaking in those gorgeous views! Our hostess was incredibly warm and attentive, ensuring everything was perfectly arranged. She even helped look after our child when they were playing in the lobby – truly above and beyond! The location is incredibly convenient for transit, being very close to the airport and not far from the high-speed rail station. The breakfast was also delicious, and our entire family was completely satisfied.
GGuest UserI stayed in a very cost-effective homestay in Dali. The environment is very beautiful. There is a hydrangea garden that is very suitable for taking pictures. There is also a tea room. You can drink tea in the afternoon and look at the bottomless sea on the terrace. The room facilities are very good, equipped with a Dyson hair dryer. The toiletries should also be branded and easy to use. There are also electric cars available to go around the sea nearby, recommended!

ZZarul RahimHonest Review of Our Stay Near Erhai Lake, Dali 🇨🇳
As a Malaysian traveler exploring Yunnan, I stayed at a homestay apartment near Erhai Lake—and here’s my honest take:
✅ Inside the homestay: Very clean, well-furnished, and cozy. Everything was nicely prepared and felt like a proper home. The highlight was definitely the stunning lake view right from our window—perfect for sunrise lovers.
👩💼 Host experience: The homestay staff was incredibly friendly and understanding. She even arranged a free ride from the railway station, which we truly appreciated after a long day of travel.
🚧 Outside facilities: This is where it gets a bit mixed. The overall apartment complex (including the parking lot and elevator) felt poorly maintained, and the atmosphere at night was dark and slightly eerie, especially for solo travelers or couples. Many neighboring units seemed unoccupied, which added to the quiet, empty vibe.
📍 Location: Take note—this place is about 50 minutes from Dali Ancient City, so it’s not ideal if you’re planning to explore the old town daily. But if you want to relax by the lake and enjoy peace and views, it could work.
Overall: Great homestay unit and host, but the apartment surroundings and distance might not suit everyone.

GGuest UserI stayed for three nights at An Yu, located on Yeyu Road, near the east exit of the bustling Dali Ancient City pedestrian street. It's a tranquil oasis amidst the lively surroundings, with many cafes, bars, and local cultural experiences nearby.
An Yu is a boutique and tastefully designed hotel. The bedding is incredibly comfortable, and the service is exceptionally welcoming, making you feel right at home. The ground-floor breakfast area is also open to non-residents. While the third-floor afternoon tea area has limited seating, its quiet and comfortable ambiance creates a wonderfully peaceful mood.
Both An Yu's breakfast and afternoon tea are varied and refined. They are so generous and delightful that you might not even feel the need to dine out for two meals a day.
Due to a change in my travel plans, I initially booked two nights in a Deluxe room, followed by an additional night in a Superior room. Upon check-in, the hotel butler noticed a new room was available and kindly upgraded me to the same Deluxe room type as my first two nights, free of charge.
A special mention must go to An Yu's shower; the water pressure is excellent, providing a thoroughly soothing experience after a long day of travel. Guests receive daily complimentary laundry service for two items per person (wash and dry). Thoughtful amenities like sunglasses, shawls, and dual-purpose umbrellas were also provided. Every moment at An Yu, I felt truly cared for and looked after.

JJane.TI recently stayed at a hotel in Dali, Yunnan, and had an overall pleasant experience. The cleanliness of the room and common areas was impressive — everything was well-maintained and tidy, which made the stay comfortable and relaxing.
The service stood out as one of the highlights. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with directions or local recommendations. They made check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free.
But would like to comment on the photoshooting service that this hotel provided, although they stated it’s free, but each room ONLY FREE 5 PIECES NON EDIT photos no matter how many days you stay. So please don’t ask for this service if you don’t want your pocket to have a hole 🤣, would recommend you to have the traditional costume shoot in Lijiang or Shangrila which will cost in cheaper price where they can provide costume rental and full make up. This hotel they charge a very high price for the photoshooting if you want to buy the photos from them.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Lijiang, if they like photoshooting. Or else you can stay in other better choices hotels.
XXiaoyang121Very good, very cost-effective, the hotel is located on the Erhai Sea, close to the ecological corridor, a few minutes walk to the Erhai Sea, surrounded by natural landscapes such as redwood forests, goose* stone beaches, not only from the dust, but also suitable for cycling, walking and viewing. It is also close to the ancient city, Longqi Wharf and other places, and the transportation is convenient. The room is spacious and bright, the sound insulation effect is good, the view is wide, and the room can see the view of the Bohai Corridor. Suitable for daze and taking pictures. The hotel owner and warm and friendly, there is a parking lot shuttle bus pick-up service, providing itinerary planning, attraction recommendations and car rental and other intimate help. The homestay is quiet in the middle of noisy, the surrounding environment is quiet, suitable for like to relax and enjoy nature. There is not a lot of traffic around, and the noise of excessive commercialization is avoided. All in all, it was a great experience.

Eelyn13nestaThe Jixiashan brand generally lives up to its reputation. First and foremost, the location is superb and incredibly convenient, nestled right within the ancient city. It offers the best of both worlds: lively streets outside and serene tranquility once you're inside.
The hotel appears to have some age, but its physical facilities are impressively well-maintained. However, what truly stands out is the exceptional service. Every staff member, from their excellent attitude and strong service-mindedness to their seamless communication both online and offline, was absolutely fantastic.
Just a minor suggestion: for hot coffee, it might be worth considering different cups, as the current ones can get quite hot to hold.

RR.T.xDuring my recent stay at this hotel I had an excellent experience. The hotel itself was modern and spacious, offering all the comfort I needed. It was also located just outside the ancient town, which was only a short five-minute walk away, making it very convenient. There were also plenty of food options nearby, so I never had to worry about where to eat (thought honestly even if the restaurants nearby are not your liking it’s quite easy to get food delivered using one of the food delivery apps).
What truly set this place apart was the exceptional service from the manager. She was genuinely friendly and incredibly helpful, going out of her way to ensure I had a great stay. Since I arrived two days before the May Day holiday, she advised me to plan my trip around Er Hai Lake a day early to avoid the holiday crowds. I’m so grateful for this advice because my trip around the lake was smooth and enjoyable, with minimal crowds. By the time I was heading back to the hotel, I could already see the traffic building up with the incoming holiday tourists and I can only imagine how bad the traffic was around the lake the next day. According to the driver it is not uncommon to encounter standstill traffic at around parts of the lake requiring around 2-3 hours to clear during the peak periods.
Not only did she provide valuable advice, but she also arranged a driver for my lake trip on very short notice, and at a price much better than what I could find elsewhere. Her local knowledge didn’t end there—she recommended great places to eat and gave me tips on where to buy local specialties and what to avoid, which really helped me make the most of my time in Dali. One general tip would be to be selective of the stores in the ancient town as they might not offer the best value.
I would however recommend adding the hotel on WeChat prior to arriving just in the event that you encounter some difficulty in locating the hotel since it is not located along the main road, there is however direct road access to the main door of the hotel.
Overall, the hospitality here was outstanding, and I genuinely felt well taken care of. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dali.

GGuest UserBeautifully designed hotel with excellent high level views of Erhai. The room interiors are also toddler friendly - the bedside tables have chamfered edges (no sharp corners). They gave a super cute Pullman giraffe plushie too that was very good quality. Kid loved it so so much.
More on the room tho. Really beautiful, very relaxing. Really nice seating area in front of the windows, I didn't want to check out. I didn't even want to leave the room during the stay.
Breakfast buffet spread was also very delicious. Ate two bowls from the noodle bar and a bit of everything else in one sitting.

GGuest UserFirst, the correct name of the hotel is Xiting not Yuting. There was a bit of misunderstanding over which room we booked, which I take to be the result of language communication between Trip.com and the hotel. But the manager was very sweet and Accommodating. The rooms are lovely and it’s in a good location in the old city but relatively quiet.
