[2025 Eryuan Stay] Travel Guide for Dali Eryuan·Cibi Caotang (Updated Apr)

Dali Eryuan·Ci Bi Cao Tang ❤️"The stone path is slanting up the cold mountain, and there are houses where the white clouds are born" 😉I am in a secluded place in Dali ⭐I actually lived in the poem of Du Mu, the most famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Cibi Lake is one of the water sources of Erhai Lake and belongs to the Lancang River Basin. ⛰️ [Advantages] 1. Charter a boat from Cibi Wharf to Liyuan Village, and then change to an electric car to Caotang. The process is very beautiful. The water and sky are in harmony when the boat reaches the center of the lake. 2. The furnishings in the cottage are elegant, with fruits, incense and exquisite furniture in the lobby. 3. Quiet and clean (clean B&Bs are hard to come by). 4. There is a wetland white horse 🐎~ outside the B&B, a peacock 🦚 Maozhuquan in the B&B, and a pear garden farmhouse nearby. I was awakened by the moon at night, and the moonlight in the mountains was particularly white. 5. There are beautiful art spaces and tea spaces. The lobby of the art gallery is beautifully designed and guests staying in the hotel can visit it🤪. 【Disadvantages】😅 1. The good stuff of the owner of the art space should not be released😂. 2. There are many bonsai, but no particularly beautiful pines and cypresses. 3. The room design has an old-fashioned feel, and the hardware facilities do not meet the five-star standard. There is an electric heater, a washbasin, no operating table, average bathroom quality, and a cold white light Wabi-sabi table lamp... [Summary] This place is suitable for couples, old friends, and Zen meditation, but not for parent-child travel. I am a family with children, and I even dislike myself. But I still want to see the pear blossoms🥳

Erhai County in Yunnan's Dali is named for being the source of Erhai Lake. Among its lakes is one that is a source of Erhai Lake, named Cibi Lake. Pear Blossom Village by the lake is where my destination for this trip is hidden: Cibi Grass Hall. This is a somewhat ethereal and secluded ancient-style hotel, and getting here was a bit of an effort. Driving along the lakeside village, there are several narrow roads, and passing other vehicles is indeed not easy. But once out of the village and by the lake, the view and scenery suddenly become vast and clear. 🚗 There are two ways to get to the hotel: The first is to drive to the parking lot, then call the Grass Hall Hotel, and they will arrange a shuttle to take you directly to the hotel entrance. The other is to take a boat on Cibi Lake, gliding through the green waves to your destination. Cibi Grass Hall is quite large, with several courtyards, both big and small, that you wind through from the entrance. There are zen-like small courtyards, as well as lush ancient pear tree gardens, and there are even peacocks kept in the yards. 📝 Cibi Grass Hall also has a secret art gallery, which is not usually open to the public. Inside are many treasured collections of the owner, and it's worth a visit if you get the chance. 🍱 The hotel has its own restaurant and cafe, so dining is not a problem. However, the roasted chicken in the nearby Pear Blossom Village is very famous, and you must book in advance; it's truly delicious to the bone. ⚠️ Suitable for: Because of the hotel's ancient style and zen, it is destined to be more suitable for a leisurely vacation, for those who choose to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and relax. It might not be quite suitable for a family trip with children in tow.
