[2025 Dali Stay] Travel Guide for Zhuyu Inn in Dali ancient city (Updated May)

Hidden deep in the blue stone alleys of Dali Ancient Town lies a secluded retreat that dialogues with Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake—Zhuyu Inn. Its name, derived from "chasing islands," signifies that every traveler can find their inner island of peace here. The designer specially preserved the original rammed earth walls of the old house, embedding floor-to-ceiling glass to transform the weathered textures into natural decorative art. The courtyard features a dry landscape garden, where Cangshan stones playfully contrast with Erhai blue tiles. On rainy days, water dripping from the eaves creates a curtain effect, forming a dynamic visual installation. Rooms feature private terraces with elm wood tea platforms that seem to float above the ancient town's sea of tiles. Equipped with smart skylight systems, guests can gaze at the stars while falling asleep, with automatic sensors that close during rain. The elevated bathroom area with frosted glass partitions allows you to enjoy the misty night view of the ancient town while soaking in the tub. Breakfast offers Western Yunnan specialties like Weishan rice noodles and Xizhou baked buns, served with homemade rose jam and yogurt. In the afternoon, experience the "Three-Course Tea" ceremony in the tea room, accompanied by local Dali snacks like plums and carved plums. House specialties include sour and spicy bow fish and Nuodeng ham with matsutake mushrooms. From the inn's west gate, a 3-minute walk takes you to "Yueruan" morning market, a local favorite where freshly made milk fans still carry the warmth of the pasture. An 8-minute walk east brings you to the lesser-known "Catholic Church," a Bai-style cathedral that holds Latin Mass every Sunday. At Zhuyu Inn, every detail tells a story: this is not simply accommodation, but a profound aesthetic experience of Dali. As the proprietor writes in the welcome manual: "May you find your own piece of Erhai Lake here."
