Cliffside Garden: A Perfect Encounter of Bai Ethnic Architecture and French Charm

Nestled at No. 219-2, Group 6, Qingshan Village, Shuanglang Town, Dali City, the newly opened Qingshan Xiaozhu Seaview Homestay has quickly become a viral hotspot by Erhai Lake with its unique location and architectural style since its 2024 debut. This three-story property spans 1,300 square meters, masterfully blending traditional Bai ethnic architectural elements with modern French garden aesthetics to create a visual language that is both local and cosmopolitan. The garden design stands as one of Qingshan Xiaozhu's proudest features. Upon entering, guests are greeted by an exquisite courtyard fishpond and a meticulously curated garden, where flowers adapted to the plateau climate bloom year-round. The symmetrical layout of French gardens and their romantic ambiance coexist harmoniously here, creating a striking visual impact. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows that add a touch of poetic languor to afternoon moments. The homestay's French-style garden seaview café elevates garden aesthetics to new heights. With floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, this space not only offers guests a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view but also attracts many non-guests who come specifically for photo opportunities. Featuring an open bar design, the café serves coffee, juices, cocktails, and more, allowing visitors to savor gourmet treats while taking in the full vista of Erhai Lake through the windows. The reading nook in the leisure area provides guests with rare moments of tranquility surrounded by floral and literary aromas. Even more delightful is the homestay's private garden harvesting service, where guests can personally gather seasonal bounty, experiencing the complete journey from garden to table.
