FORTEN

The same sparkling seaside restaurant as Yang Yang~ The best light is for fairies who can wake up early in the morning. It is best to go there to take pictures in the morning. It is really beautiful. If you are lucky, you can take pictures of seagulls~ I chose the 298 double set meal. It is enough for two people to finish it~

The most recommended place to visit Erhai Lake is Liuyue, both the hotel and the restaurant are worth recommending! In Shuanglang Town, the hotel and the restaurant are separated, less than 600 meters away, the dishes are delicious and the service is thoughtful!

It rained for a long time in Shuanglang. It was a pity that we couldn't see the sunset on rainy days.

Awakened by the crash of Erhai Lake in the morning, I flung open the window and was swept into the morning mist of Cangshan Mountain. This was my nth trip to Shuanglang, all thanks to discovering the Fengdu Seaview Resort Hotel! With the sheer romance of "opening your eyes to the sea" and the attentive, friendly service, they've transformed Dali's slow life into a poetic experience. 🌟 Why choose Fengdu? Four Key Reasons 1. "Pictures from the Window" Ocean View Rooms While there aren't many room types, each one meets your needs, with thoughtful attention to detail: Waterfront Ocean View Room (Highly Recommended! ✨): Features a small balcony and a rattan hanging chair. In the morning, curl up in it, sip hot soy milk, and watch the fishing boats paddle across Erhai Lake. At sunset, the orange glow paints the sea a golden hue, bathing even your hair in a warm glow. No filters needed, it's like living in an oil painting. Wabi-Sabi Loft: Perfect for couples, with two floors connected by a wooden staircase. A beanbag sits by the floor-to-ceiling window in the first-floor living room, making it incredibly comfortable to bask in the afternoon sun and gaze at the sea. The Nanyang-style rattan chandelier and plain cotton and linen curtains create a soft-focus, vintage-inspired look for your photos. Courtyard View Room: Budget-friendly, with a small courtyard right outside the door. Bougainvillea and succulents abound, filling the white walls. Listen to birdsong in the morning, and on rainy days, sit under the eaves and watch the raindrops hit the petals, a quiet and relaxing experience. Unlock Erhai Lake views at different times of the day from your room. 2. The service details are so touching ❤️ Before check-in: The butler contacted us three days in advance, providing weather tips, outfit recommendations, restaurant reservations, and even sharing tips on where to buy cheap fruit in Shuanglang. During check-in: Luggage was taken to the parking lot and warm ginger tea was provided (a thoughtful touch in autumn and winter). When explaining the facilities, they specifically reminded us to "let me know in advance if you want to change the afternoon tea." During check-in: Afternoon tea (scone, fruit, and local yogurt) was delivered to the room. The freshly baked scones were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with honey sauce. In the evening, hot Tremella soup (with longan) was served, sweet but not greasy, and warming before bed. Details: When giving the baby Seagull biscuits, they also provided wet wipes. Children's items were disinfected when borrowed, and the butler helped find a charger and provided a data cable. 3. "Top-of-the-line" amenities, ready for move-in Room: A Dyson hair dryer is standard, and the shampoo and conditioner are a local Yunnan herbal brand, leaving hair smooth after washing. The body lotion has a camellia scent. Makeup remover pads and other items are neatly arranged in a bamboo box, exuding a refined elegance. Benefits: Fresh and plentiful seasonal fruit, including plump blueberries and tender sugar apples. The mini bar offers local, additive-free yogurt with honey for a refreshing drink. Public Area: Basement level cafe and restaurant (recommended Erhai fish hotpot, cooked to order with sour papaya for a refreshing, sour and spicy flavor). First floor beach loungers are padded, and complimentary straw hats and sunglasses are available for photogenic use. 4. Excellent Location, Convenient for Sightseeing Shuanglang's bustling core yet tranquil: A 5-minute walk to the main street of the ancient town, where you can enjoy grilled milk-scalloped bean curd and erkuai (rice cakes), and browse cultural and creative shops in the evening; a 10-minute walk to the observation deck (less crowded at sunrise); Ride an electric car around Erhai Lake, a 20-minute drive to Wase Xiaoputuo (seagulls fly around the island in the mornings), and a 15-minute drive to Xizhou Ancient Town (visit Bai ethnic minority houses and see freshly made Xizhou baba).​ 📸 Photography Tips 1. Hotel Photo Spots B1F Cafe: Sunlight slants through the window, casting a shadow on the tabletop between 3 PM and 4 PM. Place a coffee cup on the table for a close-up shot. The light and shadows are gentle. Beach on the 1F: Wear a light skirt and take photos of your back at 9 AM or 6 PM. The sea breeze caresses your skirt, the soft sand beneath your feet, and the distant Cangshan Mountain is clear. These relaxing photos are just the thing. Balcony: Take photos of morning reading and the sea view between 7 AM and 8 AM. Place a book on your lap and snap the photo as the wind rustles the pages, creating a natural and relaxing experience. 2. Neighborhood Connections A 2-minute walk to "Liuyue Fushi." The white spiral staircase and blue pool are perfect for striking photos in a yellow and pink skirt. Photograph the daily life of the Bai ethnic group's traditional houses on the main street of the ancient town. Occasionally, elderly people carrying bamboo baskets walk along the bluestone pavement. Capture the vibrant atmosphere of life. Cycling videos along the ecological corridor, with the wind blowing your hair and birds singing, creates a strong sense of immersion.​ 🚴 Erhai Lake Route Fengdu → 15 minutes to Xizhou (eat Xizhou baba, visit the Yan Family Courtyard and admire the carved doors and windows) → 20 minutes to Haishe Park (photograph the Metasequoia forest, where the water reflects the trees like mirrors) → 30 minutes to Shuanglang Observation Deck (photograph the pink and purple sunset) → return to the hotel for fish hotpot. Tips: Charge your electric bike in advance. For lunch, dine at Sifang Street Restaurant in Xizhou. The braised chicken and stir-fried water lilies are recommended. 🍜 Nearby Restaurants 😋 Shuanglang: "Corner Food Time" Grilled Shrimp (dip in rose sauce); "Dali Spicy and Sour Fish" (Erhai crucian carp, fragrant rice in broth); Xizhou: Freshly baked Xizhou baba (crispy skin); "Lao Chayuan Village" Bai ethnic group Three-Course Tea (served with peanuts and sunflower seeds); Wase: Seaweed baba (dip in spicy and sour sauce, fragrant and soft).​ ✨ Real Tips​ Avoidance: Hot water can be unstable between 8 and 9 AM (peak season). Avoid this by staggering your stay or asking the housekeeper to adjust it. Bonus: Bring a light jacket to protect against temperature fluctuations. From November to March, take photos of seagulls (feeding them with hotel cookies). A three-day stay is recommended for a relaxed lifestyle. Here, there's no need to rush—watch the clouds in a cafe in the afternoon, listen to the waves on the beach in the evening, and enjoy the relaxing evening breeze. There's no commercialism here, only the down-to-earth feeling of "living well in Dali." #GirlyB&B #TheseHotelsAmazingViews #High-EndHotelsYou'll UnderstandAfterSleeping #HotelAddict #One-StopResortHotel
