Dali Homestay!!

For the two nights of the New Year's Day trip around Erhai Lake, one night was chosen in Cai Village, and the other was spent in Shuanglang. There are many homestays by the Erhai Lake that flaunt the waterfront location, with prices starting at 1000+, and fearing to step on landmines and pay an intelligence tax, I compared more than a dozen of them back and forth. In the end, it proved that choosing 'Shuanglang Mandi' was an incredibly correct decision for this Dali trip. The phone communication went very smoothly and I hit it off with the proprietress, who is a very hearty and enthusiastic person. Considering the budget, we finally booked two very cost-effective mountain view rooms at Mandi. If you want to take photos, you can go to the rooftop terrace or the waterfront public area on the first floor, so it doesn't affect the photo shoot. We arrived at nearly five in the afternoon, and a young man helped us carry our luggage to the room. The sister who received us was also very nice, first serving us two portions of afternoon tea. The hardware facilities in the room are simply amazing, you can totally feel the owner's ultimate pursuit of quality! Beyond the Dyson hairdryer, Marshall speakers, and Kohler bathroom fixtures, everything else like slippers, combs, toothbrushes, etc., are all custom-made for Mandi. Finally, the slippers are not those thin ones that fall off when you move. I got interested in their Japanese niche brand sound system and a self-service water dispenser, which is not a kettle and can directly replace bottled water. This design is really great when you're out and about.
