Another high-end atmospheric Erhai lakeside guesthouse in Dali

On my secluded trip to Dali, I stayed at this upscale guesthouse on Jin Suo Island—the Dali Rushijiu Xi Seaview Guesthouse. Unexpectedly, I found my ideal vacation life here🌿 This newly renovated hidden gem is definitely a top choice for atmosphere lovers. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the sparkling Erhai Lake, and every morning you wake up to the beautiful view of the sun shining on the mountains—so healing! 🏡 Guesthouse Highlights: • Excellent location: Situated in a private bay on Jin Suo Island, surrounded by Erhai Lake on three sides and facing Cangshan Mountain, offering a true 360° unobstructed sea view • Private viewing terrace: Each room has extra-large floor-to-ceiling windows and a viewing balcony, where you can watch the sunset while lying in the bathtub • Thoughtful service: Cute little tricycles provide island transfers 🛶 Nearby Activities: • Watch the Erhai sunrise at Jinxi Bay right outside the guesthouse early in the morning • Morning hike around the island to experience the authentic Bai fishing village life • Afternoon tea at the sea-view building while watching the clouds roll over Cangshan Mountain • Evening stroll to the pier to see fishermen returning with their nets 🍜 Food Tips: • Be sure to try the guesthouse’s homemade breakfast Erhai rice noodles! • A 5-minute walk takes you to the island’s popular fishermen’s restaurant—don’t miss the sour papaya fish stew This is probably the life I’ve been longing for! Waking up to the sound of waves every day, soaking up the sun and reading on this undisturbed little island, even time seems to slow down. If you also want to find a place to relax in Dali, this secluded seaview guesthouse is definitely worth adding to your list✨

Erhai Lake

✨ Wandering Through Dali, Yunnan ☁️ ✨ Yunnan has always been on my travel wish list, and this time I finally made it to Dali — a dreamlike town surrounded by mountains and the sparkling Erhai Lake 🌊⛰️. Every corner here feels like it’s been kissed by the wind and painted by sunlight 🎨☀️. 🚙💨 Our first stop was the Jeep Flower Field 🌸🌼 — a sea of colorful blooms stretching endlessly, with classic Jeeps parked for that perfect “wanderlust” photo moment 📸✨. Standing among the flowers, I could feel the peace and freedom that only nature can give . Next, we visited the Santorini-style spot 💙🏛️ — pure white buildings with blue domes overlooking Erhai Lake. For a second, I almost forgot I was in China and felt like I was in Greece 🇬🇷💭. The breeze from the lake carried the scent of sunshine and freedom. Then came the Lovers’ Bridge 🌉💞 — a romantic spot said to bring good luck in love. Even the air here feels softer and sweeter 🕊️💕. Maybe wishes really do travel across the bridge to the sky ✨. Of course, no trip to Dali is complete without exploring the Ancient Town 🏮⛩️ — cobblestone streets, vintage teahouses, and local crafts everywhere. I sipped rose tea 🌹🍵, listened to street musicians 🎶, and watched time slow down. And finally, standing by Erhai Lake at sunset 🌅, watching the colors melt into the horizon, I felt completely at peace. The reflection of the mountains, the sound of waves, and the cool breeze reminded me — sometimes, happiness is just being here, now 💫💖. 🌈✨ Dali, you’ve captured my heart — I’ll be back again someday 💌 #Dali #Yunnan #TravelDiaries #ErhaiLake #Wanderlust #SlowLife #TravelMoments 🌸🌊💙
