In the waterfront restaurant by the Erhai Lake, the waves are rippling and the distant mountains are indigo.
The perfect way to experience a seaside vacation 🎞️ Before the 270° floor-to-ceiling windows of the "Undine" Hotel, our silhouettes become part of the scenery 🌅. The tense senses of city life finally find respite, like the gentle warmth of early winter in Dali. 📍Address: Next to the Erhai Ecological Corridor, Dali City 🕰Opening Hours: Open all day The mountain breeze of Erhai Lake 🌊 The sunset on the horizon—here, everything needs no deliberate interpretation; all beauty unfolds naturally. True tranquility isn't about hiding, but about finding peace in such a place where you can finally stop rushing around 🏃♀️ 🌙After nightfall: Move to a seaside restaurant. Wild mushrooms simmer in the hot pot, releasing the aroma of the mountains 🍲. Paired with a glass of red wine 🍷, savoring each sip slowly is the winter romance of Dali. 🌳At this moment, I understand: "Let's go home." Rather than just arriving, every frame between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake is no longer just a landscape photo on social media, but a reflection of the inner self. ✨ Beside the plants in the indoor sofa area, the gentle evening light flows here. 🛋️ Recommended photo spots: - In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows at sunset - Candlelight dinner at the sea-view restaurant - Beside the plant arrangement in the sofa area - Seagulls in the morning light #DaliTravel #ErhaiHomestay #VacationTime #InstagrammableSpots #NearbyTravelDestinations
Autumn in Dali is truly romantic! If you're looking for a date spot by the Erhai Lake with a touch of Southern France charm, this restaurant is a must-try! 🏡 Yunli Xiaozuo·Huayin Nanyang Seaview Restaurant 📍Across from the ancient stage in Shuanglang Village, by the Erhai Lake at the end of Tonghai Lane I was stunned the moment I walked into the restaurant! With seats directly facing Erhai Lake and the vibrant autumn sun, it felt like a Mediterranean town straight out of a movie! Every photo was a blockbuster! [Tom Yum Goong Seafood Soup] The sour and spicy flavor was appetizing, and the soup was generous with ingredients: prawns, mussels, squid...it was packed with goodness! We sat by the window, enjoying our meal while gazing at the shimmering Erhai Lake. It was truly relaxing! 📝 Tips: 🩵 It's too sunny at noon, so I recommend coming between 4 and 5 pm for a stunning sunset! 💙The restaurant is located in Shuanglang. We stayed in Xiaguan, so the round trip was over 100 kilometers, but the romantic scenery was worth it. 💜Upstairs from the restaurant is the B&B, Dali Yunli Xiaozuo·Huayin Nanyang Seaview Hotel (Shuanglang Branch). #DaliAutumnRomanceOpens

Before coming to Dali, I checked out over 100 B&Bs and was completely captivated by "Zehai Shangju"! With its prime seaside location, 24/7 housekeepers, and incredibly photogenic infinity pool, waking up to the sight of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake from dawn to dusk truly soothed a year's worth of fatigue. 📍First and foremost: the location is incredible! The B&B is nestled between Shuanglang Ancient Town and Wase Xiaoputuo Temple, a 15-minute drive from Shuanglang and conveniently located for seagull watching. The entrance is right next to Erhai Lake, separated by a small path. Whether you're relaxing in your room, dining in the restaurant, or relaxing by the pool, you're greeted by the breathtaking view of "Cangshan Mountain as the backdrop, Erhai Lake as the scenery." No need to search for a vantage point—every photo is a beautiful sight. 🏠15 Ocean View Rooms: Each one a "Postcard View of Erhai Lake" My "Sunset Ocean View King Room" was a perfect match! ✔️Full-glass windows with private balconies allow you to watch the sunset from your bed. In the evening, the sun shines on the sea, creating a shimmering golden glow, creating a truly romantic atmosphere. ✔️The rooms are designed in a minimalist style, with smart voice control for lighting and air conditioning. They also come equipped with a projector, a mini-fridge, and 24-hour hot water. Thoughtful details abound. ✔️Second-floor rooms offer an even more stunning view, capturing the contours of Cangshan Mountain and the curvature of Erhai Lake. Wake up to the cries of seagulls in the morning, and open the window to a true scene of "facing the sea, spring blossoms in full bloom." 🌿Public Facilities: Perfect for both photography and leisure. ▪️Infinity Pool: The pool seamlessly connects to Erhai Lake. Take photos at 4 PM when the light is soft, and it's like being in the ocean. "Floating on the sea," just pose in a white dress and create stunning photos. ▪️Small Garden: The courtyard is filled with flowers and plants. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or chat with friends in the evening, enjoying the refreshing breeze and the fresh scent of Erhai Lake. ▪️Gym + Children's Playground: Traveling with children or those looking to maintain an exercise routine is a breeze. Free parking is also convenient, so those driving can go with confidence. ▪️Floor-to-ceiling glass lobby: On cloudy days, sit in the lobby and watch the rain splash on Erhai Lake. The atmosphere is truly breathtaking, and any photo you take will be full of artistic charm. 🍴Food: A "vacation" for both taste and vision. ▪️Breakfast (8:30-10:00): Enjoy congee, rice noodles, or noodles, accompanied by six small plates, in the ocean-view restaurant. Enjoy while gazing at Erhai Lake shrouded in the morning mist, a relaxing start to the day. ▪️Afternoon Tea: Delivered to your room by your butler! Enjoy fruit, nuts, and cookies with coffee or tea on the balcony in the afternoon, watching the clouds drift over Cangshan Mountain. It's a relaxing and cozy experience. ▪️Goodnight Sweet Soup: The warm, sweet rice dumplings are served in the evening, a truly thoughtful touch. I heard the Western restaurant is opening soon, so I'll definitely try it next time I'm here. ▪️Rooftop Observation Deck: A must-see in the evening! Watch the sunset paint the sky pink and orange, and the fishing lights of the ancient city in the distance gradually light up. The breathtaking scenery of water and sky blends together is truly breathtaking, and a phone can't capture even a fraction of its beauty. 💁Butler Service: Thoughtful and thoughtful down to the last detail. ✔️Before check-in, your butler will send you detailed directions and parking instructions. Upon arrival, they'll even help with your luggage (since there's a slight incline, it's a relief not to have to carry your own luggage). ✔️If you're looking to go out, your butler will recommend routes, help book tickets, and even advise you on the best sunset photo opportunities. ✔️The 24-hour front desk is always available, and any questions are answered instantly. There's no formality like staying at a B&B; it's like being at a friend's house. 📝Small Tips: If you want a room with a great view, ask your host in advance for a second-floor ocean view room. The best time to stay is spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasant, the snow-capped Cangshan Mountains are clearly visible, and Erhai Lake appears even more azure. Suggested nearby activities: Visit the unique shops in Shuanglang Ancient Town, watch the seagulls at Xiaoputuo Temple in winter, and cycle along Haidong Road. Living in Zehai, you don't have to plan a full day; just looking at the sea, basking in the sun, and waiting for the sunset is incredibly blissful. #GirlyheartsB&B #These hotels have amazing views #High-end hotels you'll only understand after you've stayed there #Hotel addiction #One-stop resort hotel
