[2025 Dali Stay] Travel Guide for In the mountains and Dali Garden B&B (Updated May)

The Mountain Field•Dali Garden Homestay is based on the concept of "symbiosis with nature," integrating the wisdom of Bai traditional architecture with modern design aesthetics to create a garden courtyard full of wildness and poetry. The courtyard is planted with local flowers and succulent plants. As the seasons change, cherry blossoms, wisteria, and bougainvillea bloom in turn. Stone slab paths meander through it, and old pottery pots and rattan lamps are dotted in the corners. When the warm light is turned on at night, it is like a place where fireflies live. The rooms have different styles but are unified in a natural tone, with solid wood furniture, hand-dyed fabrics, and rattan screens, combined with floor heating and natural aromatherapy. Some rooms have private gardens or bathtubs with a view. In the morning, you can soak in the hot water and watch the morning mist of Cangshan Mountain. Custom latex mattresses, high-count cotton and linen bedding, and Bluetooth speakers combine wildness and comfort. Breakfast includes freshly made rose jam with handmade rice cakes, local fresh milk, and organic vegetable salad. Most of the ingredients come from the homestay's vegetable garden. Afternoon tea includes homemade plum wine with Rushan scones, which can be enjoyed under the grape trellis in the courtyard. Bai-style brazier barbecue and mushroom hot pot are recommended for dinner. The facilities have a slow-life ritual feel. The garden book bar has a collection of Dali-themed books and niche magazines, and offers hand-drip coffee and Pu'er tea. In the evening, you can book a starry sky movie or a small concert. Weekly activities include tie-dye workshops, garden picking, and light hiking in Cangshan Mountain. The Mountain Field•Dali Garden Homestay is not just a place to rest your feet, but a container that slows down time. Here, you can hear the sound of the wind blowing through the rice fields, feel the temperature of the sun on the earthen walls, and ultimately regain the original feeling of breathing with nature.

😊In the mountains ~ Dali Xizhou Relaxing Garden B&B 😊The real feeling of relaxation is to return yourself to the mountains. 🍒There is no sense of urgency like the internet celebrities checking in, only the wind blowing the wheat waves and the flowers blooming silently. If you are also looking for a place to rest your body and mind, you might as well live in this garden by the Erhai Lake and be a "windy Dali person" for a few days. ⚠️Location: Dali·Zhoucheng Village·In the Mountain Garden B&B🍒You must open the window to enter the painting and live in the southern French style garden Passing through the country path outside the ancient town of Xizhou and turning into the alley of Zhoucheng Village, a pure white building surrounded by hydrangeas and roses comes into view - this is one of the rare "secluded" garden homestays in Dali. 🍒In the courtyard covering nearly 1,000 square meters, the designer combines the laziness of southern France with the style of the Bai ethnic group: archways, corridors, rattan furniture, and retro tiles. Every corner is like an oil painting by Monet. 🍒Relaxing and healing moments in the mountains: 1. Garden afternoon tea and tie-dyeing experience 🍒"Forest Cafe", afternoon tea named after the 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain, paired with hand-brewed Yunnan small-grain coffee, 🍒The dessert contains the scent of roses and frankincense of the season. Just a 5-minute walk away, you can enter the tie-dye workshop in Zhoucheng Village, dye a piece of blue and white cloth by hand, and bring the scenery of Dali home. 🍒20 minutes to reach Xizhou, avoiding the crowds Compared to the bustling main street of Xizhou, this place is more like a pure land. In the early morning, before the tourists arrive, I go to the old house next to the rice field to have a cup of "Zhou Coffee". Around the corner, I encounter the same century-old tree Tai in "Go Where the Wind Is". In the afternoon, I go back to the study room of the B&B to read a book. Time seems to be paused. 🍒Private water secret place The back door of the B&B leads directly to the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor. You can rent a bicycle and ride slowly along the waterfront. Or you can step barefoot into the shallows and wait for a limited romance as the "sea lettuce" floats on the waves. 💖Travel Tips: The B&B has only a dozen rooms, and reservations must be made one month in advance during the peak season; It is recommended to stay for more than 2 nights to experience the switch from "tourist" to "villager"; 🍒Nearby activities: Xizhou Jiangzhiji (experience Jiama woodblock printing), Haishe Park (take photos at the couple tree), Shaxi Ancient Town (1.5h drive)

I've been to Dali countless times, but this time I stayed at this guesthouse in Zhoucheng, Xizhou, and it was amazing! Located on the mountainside, the pure white courtyard faces Erhai Lake. It's quiet and clean. At night, you can lie in the courtyard and see the stars and the fishing lights on Erhai Lake. There's no place more romantic than this. Recommended: In the Wild Dali Garden Guesthouse Accommodation This is the hotel with the best view I've stayed at in Dali. You can watch the sunrise over Erhai Lake in the morning, the fishing lights on Erhai Lake in the evening, and the stars at night. Every corner of the public area is beautifully designed. A window or a pot of plants is pleasing to the eye. The room is large and clean, and the bathroom is new. The front and back yards are very spacious, the flowers and plants are well taken care of, and the lawn is green. Children can run around. Food The guesthouse provides breakfast. The Yunnan rice noodles made by the Bai grandmother are delicious. If you want to eat in the restaurant, the food will be delivered from the town. The local dishes are very authentic and the portions are huge. Our family of four ordered five dishes and couldn't finish them. I recommend the roasted milk fan and honeycomb corn. They're delicious! Because it's on the mountainside of Zhoucheng, there's not much entertainment at night. You can go to the town and stroll around. The barbecue stalls are delicious. If you're a foodie like me, I recommend taking a taxi to Xuji Spicy Crab, 3 km away. It's a barbecue restaurant that locals love. It's definitely the best food I've had in Dali! Activities The guesthouse is a 5-minute walk from Zhoucheng. The town is full of tie-dye experience centers. The famous Puzhen Tie-dye Museum is free to visit. In some small tie-dye shops, you can make a tie-dye handkerchief for CNY 30. It's only a 15-minute drive from Xizhou Ancient Town, Keli Zhuang Wheat Field, and Erhai Corridor. You can take your children to Xizhou Ancient Town to experience pottery and rubbing, and enjoy the food. Transportation Although it's on the mountain, it's easy to get a taxi. You can rest assured even if you're not driving!

Living in the garden, this B&B is so beautiful! ! ! I booked a Xizhou B&B casually, but I didn't expect that every photo was so good Love it so much I heard the boss is a designer. I really feel the charm of design. Everywhere is a landscape There is a large terrace on the first floor where you can enjoy afternoon tea. Looking up, you can see the green garden on the hillside Overlooking the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake We stayed at Kawano on the third floor. Large terrace yard Absolutely beautiful 360-degree shooting If you come to Dali, you must come to Xizhou! When you come to Xizhou, you must live in the mountains! I will be sad if anyone misses me😭😭😭

Nestled halfway up Zhou City's mountainside, the guesthouse, abundant with greenery, leans against Cangshan Mountain and faces Erhai Lake. It boasts two back gardens of Cangshan Mountain, where you can simply lift your head to enjoy the mountain views and sea vistas, experiencing the slow life in the wilds—it's just too comfortable~ In the Mountains·Dali Garden Guesthouse

Only those on the same wavelength will enjoy this feeling, right? Leisurely watching the mountains and seas, carefree like a minor deity. Holding a cup of hot tea, quietly admiring the mountainous scenery outside the window, time seems to stretch out. With your back against the Cangshan mountains, facing the Erhai lake, Far from the noise, in Xizhou Zhoucheng, you find a quiet place at first glance, it is the endless mountainous expanse. The guesthouse's white facade is nestled among the greenery, while the interior decoration is full of wabi-sabi elements. I have a special fondness for this large lawn garden. Romantic flowers bloom unrestrainedly. The lush greenery and white buildings complement each other, as if you are in a world of oil paintings - Stay in a 360° panoramic mountain and sea view big bed room. Whether lying in bed or soaking in the bathtub, Through the door frame and windows of the room, you can feel the changing colors of the sea and sky, and enjoy this tranquil world within a painting. And when you step out onto the viewing terrace, which is three times the size of the room, you feel even closer to the mountains and sea. On a breezy autumn day, lying on the sofa bathing in the sunlight, staring blankly at the distant Erhai lake, One should really stay in a place without a ceiling. Follow Yu Xin to accompany you on your journey, travel without getting lost.

The cherry blossoms in Dali are in full bloom The seagulls by the Erhai Lake have also arrived as scheduled, and this is my third visit to Dali This time I discovered another treasure of a homestay in the mountains and fields. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the ancient town I prefer to stay in a quiet and beautiful place The homestay is built against the mountain, close to Xizhou ancient town. Lying in the room, you can have a distant view of Erhai Lake. What surprises me the most is that the garden plants of the hotel still grow lushly in winter Making every window view here particularly gentle The homestay has a very open view During sunrise and sunset, I like to sit on the terrace, drink coffee, and watch the scenery. Wasting time is also a kind of romance. The important thing is that the bedding in the guest room is very comfortable. The electric blanket is very friendly to those who are afraid of the cold. When I don't want to go out I just stay in the garden and take a walk with the kittens and puppies. If you want a relaxed and loose vacation, this is a good choice Homestay: In the mountains and fields. Garden Homestay

|The B&B I’m most reluctant to leave. Dali | The most reluctant homestay The first travelogue of Dali is dedicated to my favorite B&B. Dali Mountain Garden B&B On the first day in Dali, we originally booked a so-called sea view homestay by the Erhai Lake in Wase. However, when we arrived, we were greatly disappointed. It turned out to be a "farmhouse", which left us with a huge disappointment. The so-called sea view was just a little sea view through a window. Based on the principle of not making ourselves uncomfortable when traveling, we immediately changed hotels at the cost of losing half a day's room fee. At this point, we are no longer pursuing the so-called sea view rooms or good locations. We just want to drive ourselves and be comfortable. After looking for a long time on the Internet, we saw a place in the mountains that caught our eye. We went there immediately and saw that there was a room available. It is no exaggeration to say that I was stunned the moment I walked in. See p2 for details. The panoramic view of Erhai Lake and the white clouds are absolutely amazing. The heart that was hurt by the last bad B&B was immediately saved. When I entered the room, the overall decoration style was also what I liked. It was tasteful, clean and simple. I immediately renewed the reservation for two more days... At night, the sky is full of the Milky Way. Sitting on the terrace and enjoying the breeze, with a broad view, quiet surroundings, and facing the Erhai Lake, the soul is instantly healed ~ u1s1, the location of the B&B is not particularly convenient. It is located halfway up the mountain in a village 15 minutes' drive from Xizhou, so it is also very quiet and not disturbed by the crowd. You need to drive to travel. If your friends who drive themselves strongly recommend it, you will need to take Didi to and from the airport. However, such a comfortable environment makes everything worth it... Now let’s talk about the service. The young couple chose the location and designed the B&B themselves. It’s obvious that they put a lot of effort and time into it. Therefore, the service is almost responsive and warm. During the few days I stayed there, even my 6-year-old son became good friends with everyone at the B&B. When we left Dali, our family of three expressed our reluctance to leave the mountains, because it seemed like the homestay we wanted to open in our dreams. Perhaps because of it, I will come to Dali again. Goodbye
