Three words to sum it up: Highly, highly recommended!
Here's why:
1. **Excellent Location, Close to the Ancient City:** It's just a few hundred meters from the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, a 5-10 minute walk. From here, it's convenient to get to Cangshan Mountain, the western side of Erhai Lake, and Dali Ancient City itself.
2. **Great Room Environment with a Small Courtyard, and Reasonable Price:** (I booked during the off-season, a twin room for 120 yuan a night), see pictures 1-3.
3. **Plenty of Food Nearby:** The area is full of snack streets.
4. **Quiet:** It's not facing the street (because the guesthouse is located in a small alley), so it's quite peaceful.
5. **Great Service:** As soon as I arrived at the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, the owner proactively picked me up (also because the guesthouse in the alley can be a bit tricky to find). He also contacted me in advance (see chat records with a friend in pictures 4-5). Last night, I got lost on my way back because it was too dark; I messaged the owner, and he immediately came to pick me up. Especially today, I was exploring Dali Ancient City quite late and was about to miss my high-speed train. Without a second thought, the owner delivered my luggage, which I had left at the guesthouse, to the pick-up point for the Dali Ancient City to Dali Station route.
