Erhai Lake

Dali adventure highlights incoming 🌊✨! If you’re all about killer lake views, friendly vibes, and ultimate room comfort, this quick itinerary’s for you. Top Spots to Visit in Dali Dali Erhai Seaview B&B (1001, Building B, Bohai Tianyu International Apartment, 36 Yulu Road): The name might be a little misleading (heads up: it’s not right on the lake), but the service makes up for it! Staff are super friendly—get travel recs and local hacks straight from them via WeChat (very efficient). Rooms are spacious, cleaned spotless, and perfect for group stays. You get perks like a washer/dryer, projectors, full kitchen, plus smart shower and dehumidifier setups. If you’re traveling with family, the extra storage and seating are clutch. Even last-minute needs are handled fast! Erhai Lake (No. 1 Henan Road, Xiaguan, Dali): Open 24/7, this is Dali’s star. The lakeside views are unreal at sunrise and sunset. Grab a bike for a breezy ride around, or wander the nearby roads—plenty of peaceful corners for pics and relaxing. It’s the best way to soak in Dali’s natural beauty. Getting Around & Tips Use e-scooters or Didi taxis to zip between spots. WeChat is your friend—not only for hotel updates, but also for payments and travel info. Bring snacks for lakeside hangs (super local, super budget!). Weather moves fast here; pack a light jacket even in summer. For longer stays, the washing machine at the B&B saves time. Where to Eat Check out local cafes near Erhai Lake for fresh fish or Yunnan noodles. The area around Xiaguan has no-frills spots with authentic flavors. #DaliViews #ErhaiLake #YunnanTravel #HotelHacks

Dali Ancient City

Exploring Dali: If you’re searching for a slow-paced escape with views, Dali is seriously underrated. Between artfully worn old streets and postcard-worthy scenery, Dali delivers a laid-back vibe that’s hard to beat. Must-See Places in Dali 1. Dali Ancient Town (苍山下，洱海边) Address: Dali Ancient Town, Dali, Yunnan Strolling here is magic. Old-school stone alleyways, cute tea houses, and friendly locals—bring comfy shoes because you’ll want to wander for hours. On weekends it’s busier, so weekday mornings are extra peaceful. 2. Hidden Scenic Spots Venture off the main streets toward the back of the ancient town, where you’ll spot little bridges, quiet courtyards, and stretches of Cang Mountain peeking over rooftops. These less-known spots were breathtaking, and I had them nearly to myself, perfect for chill photos and reflective moments. Getting Around Dali’s pace is super relaxed, rent a bike or scooter to explore freely, or just walk! Public buses run to most attractions, but slow travel is where Dali shines. Didi is easy to book, taxi will bring you everywhere.
