The filming locations of "Meet Yourself" have made this ancient town a must-visit destination! ▪️After binge-watching "Meet Yourself" with my little one curled up on the couch, we were both completely enchanted by the charming town and heartwarming story in the drama. ▪️Every frame was so beautiful that we couldn't resist taking screenshots. My child couldn't stop talking about the rice field paths and the "Windy Courtyard." Without hesitation, we packed our bags and headed to Dali to visit the same filming locations for a "windy" adventure🌈 💓Together with my child, we continued our own "windy story" in Dali! 【Main Filming Locations of "Meet Yourself"】 ✨The rice fields of Xizhou Ancient Town, where Xu Hongdou once walked. Standing here with my child, the golden rice fields against the blue sky and white clouds made for stunning photos🌞 ✨The Windy Courtyard in Fengyangyi Village, a thousand-year-old ancient village. Walking along the stone paths and earthen walls with my child, we felt the traces of time. My kid was thrilled to visit the courtyard. ✨Shaxi Ancient Town, where Grandma set up her stall. Strolling with my child among the red walls, blue tiles, and lush flowers, we experienced the authentic life of Dali. ✨The horse ranch at Tian Deng Hai Ping, where Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao first met. This paradise-like spot was perfect for watching herds of cattle and sheep and running across the vast grasslands with my child—pure joy. 🍃Fengyangyi Village 🍃Filming Location: The Windy Courtyard, the inn where Xu Hongdou stayed Book in advance and take your child into the courtyard. Sit on the swing and share stories from the drama. Then, hike along the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, passing by Shuangzi Well and Guanyin Ancient Well. Let your child taste the fresh mountain spring water from a bamboo tube—refreshing and sweet💧 Remember to pack non-slip shoes for your little one, as the mountain paths can be rugged. 🍃Shaxi Ancient Town 🍃Filming Locations: Grandma’s stall and Yujin Bridge, where Xu Hongdou walked with her suitcase Dress your child in Bai ethnic clothing and capture stunning sunrise or sunset photos on Yujin Bridge🌅 Visit Sideng Street and explore Sifang Street. If you’re there on a Friday market day, let your child experience the lively atmosphere and try local snacks like chickpea jelly and fried potatoes—they’ll love it! 🍃Xizhou Ancient Town 🍃Filming Locations: Rice field paths, the Couple Tree, and Haishu Park Take your child on a mini train ride through the rice fields (¥35/person, free for children under 1.2m)—super fun🚂 Visit Yan Family Compound to admire Bai-style architecture, and pick up a tie-dyed souvenir at Sifang Street🎁 🍃Yunlong Tian Deng Hai Ping 🍃Filming Location: The horse ranch Go camping under the stars with your child. Lie in the tent and count the stars together, marveling at the Milky Way🌌 During the day, get up close with grazing cattle and sheep, or hunt for wild mushrooms in the Yunnan pine forests (a rainy-season exclusive activity)—endless fun! 🍃Erhai Lake 🍃Filming Location: The lakeside route where Hongdou drove Rent an electric bike and ride along Erhai Lake with your child. Feel the gentle breeze and the lake’s tranquility. Find a shallow spot by the shore for your little one to splash in the water and build sandcastles—pure happiness. 【Other Must-Visit Spots in Dali】 ▪️Dali Ancient Town: Wander the streets with your child and try local delicacies like Xizhou baba and rose-flavored pastries—a treat for the taste buds. ▪️Cangshan Mountain & Erhai Lake: Take the cable car up Cangshan for a panoramic view of Erhai, or enjoy a boat ride to soak in the scenic beauty. ▪️Chongsheng Temple: Teach your child about the history of the Buddhist kingdom and admire the ancient architecture. ▪️Weishan Ancient Town: Explore the legacy of the Nanzhao Kingdom and visit the hometown of Zhao Linger for a unique historical experience. ▪️Shuanglang Town: Stay in a Bai-style guesthouse by Erhai Lake.

When the first rays of sunlight crossed the snowy peaks of Cangshan Mountain, I was soaking in the bathtub at Dali Yunji No.1 Cliff Hotel, watching the shimmering waves of Erhai Lake transition from indigo to golden—this is perhaps the most luxurious way to experience Dali. As a travel blogger who visits Dali five times a year, I recently tested three cliff hotels in Xiaguan's mountainside to help you find the room that truly "grows by the shores of Erhai Lake." 🌊 Stay at the Right Hotel and Save Time on Three Popular Attractions Yunji No.1’s location is textbook-perfect: a 15-minute walk along the hotel’s private pathway takes you to Xingsheng Bridge, yet tucked away in the mountains of Haidong Town, nights are filled only with the sound of waves and stars. The butler, Lily, sent me a weather forecast three days in advance, reminding me of frequent afternoon showers in July and suggesting scheduling Xingsheng Bridge photos for early morning. The best photo spot was exactly as she described: departing the hotel at 6:30 AM, walking along the lakeshore to the northern pathway of the bridge, using a 2x telephoto lens to frame the bridge’s arches with jacaranda trees (though not in bloom in July, the green leaves complement the European-style bridge beautifully). Backlighting creates a misty effect on the water. Meanwhile, the hotel’s infinity pool becomes a natural reflector after 4 PM, with Cangshan’s reflection and swimmers forming a perfect symmetrical composition. The room design channels Beverly Hills vibes: minimalist white walls + solid wood furniture, with all outlets hidden behind wooden panels on the viewing deck—no photo spoilers. The most stunning feature is the 270° corner balcony, where the lounge chair angle perfectly frames the villages on Erhai’s western shore and the silhouette of Cangshan’s nineteen peaks. 🌅 A 24-Hour Immersive Itinerary - 5:30 AM ｜ Woken by dawn light filtering through sheer curtains, when Cangshan’s snowy peaks are clearest - 7:00 AM ｜ Breakfast delivered to the balcony (try rice noodles with local rubing cheese) - 10:00 AM ｜ Rent the hotel’s e-bike for a 20-minute ride along East Ring Road to Wase Pier - 3:00 PM ｜ Post-rain, capture sunbeams piercing the clouds in your room - 7:30 PM ｜ Xingsheng Bridge lights up—shoot the panorama from the hotel rooftop with a wide-angle lens - 10:00 PM ｜ Soak in the tub while the Milky Way spans Erhai (clearly visible in July’s southern sky) Tips: If staying at Liuyue·Haidongfang, book their cliffside restaurant in advance—try the sour papaya fish stew with Bai-style plum wine. 📸 Hidden Gems to Avoid Crowds Few know that while July lacks seagulls (best from November to March), Erhai offers something even more magical: the hotel prepares glow sticks for nighttime walks along the receding tide, where waves glow turquoise—a phenomenon called "blue tears." For iconic Xingsheng Bridge shots, follow local photographers’ advice: at 5 PM, take a 10-minute taxi to Erhe Forest Park, shoot from a low angle on the corridor to frame the bridge and its reflection as a perfect circle. Wear a light-colored maxi dress and stand under the arch, blurring the background with portrait mode for instant ambiance. ❓ FAQs ▫️ Is transportation convenient? Yunji No.1 offers free shuttle service. A 30-minute taxi from Dali Station costs ~¥80. Self-parking is available (steep mountain roads—staff assist with luggage). ▫️ Room types and pricing? Peak season (June-August) starts at ~¥1,200/night for basic sea-view rooms. Upgrade to a room with a private tub for stargazing baths. ▫️ Dining options nearby? Hotel dinners can be delivered (~¥80/person), or walk 10 minutes to Xiahe Village for "Haiwei Xian’s" spicy fish—a local driver’s pick. ✨ Blogger’s Personal Picks Splurge on Wuxiangjian·Oriental Sea View Villa’s fireplace evenings—staff prep pinewood at sunset, and as flames crackle, Xingsheng Bridge’s lights flicker on outside. Liuyue’s cliffside café at 3 PM casts geometric sunspots through floor-to-ceiling windows, ideal for moody reels. This trip taught me Dali’s romance isn’t about Instagram spots. One morning, watching fishermen paddle wooden boats through mist from Yunji No.1’s balcony, I finally understood: "With the right hotel, you’ve already seen half of Dali." (All recommendations based on firsthand experiences; no sponsorships.)

In Dali, the natural scenery seen from Haidongfang is probably the most worthy of appreciation and recording. You can not only have a panoramic view of Erhai Lake, but also see the modern high-rise buildings in Dali city across Erhai Lake in the distance, a mirage-like beauty that is romantic and elegant. In the best front-row location in Haidongfang, Wu Xiangjian is quietly located here, away from the hustle and bustle and the crowded tourists, where you can exclusively enjoy a romantic vacation for two. Although Wu Xiangjian has been around for several years, it is still so classic and beautiful. When you enter the room, you can see the most beautiful sea view of Dali through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. The design of the guest rooms, from the roof to the floor, has been carefully selected and well thought out. The combination of floor tiles and bathroom tiles, the headboard and background curtains of the room, show a strong French romance. King Koil mattresses and Carna bedding make sleep more secure, luxurious bathtubs and Kohler's top-of-the-line showers, plus the hollow landscape on top of the shower space, instantly enhance the atmosphere of washing and care. In addition, the guest control and lighting design allow the room to freely switch between bright sea view scenes and dark, romantic nights. The prepared guest room amenities are also very detailed, with an exquisite jewelry box, an unlimited supply of face towels, and French Jiao Mu's washing and care products, which are favored by many luxury hotels. Masks and steam eye masks are also provided, and the amenities used are very environmentally friendly. Long drink glasses are also iced in the mini bar. Wu Xiangjian's afternoon tea is also very exquisite. Sisters who like desserts and chocolates will definitely have an unforgettable impression. Western-style self-selected breakfast delivered to the room brings energy for the day. Wu Xiangjian is more like a work of art, classic and timeless.

Wuxiangjian, a representative brand in Dali's homestay circle, has three locations in Dali. Wuxiangjian Oriental Seaview Villa, located in the east of Haidong, is a place I've stayed at many times, unlocking many room types, each with its own Erhai Lake view. In my opinion, this is a tailor-made accommodation for beautiful girls and boys, couples, and best friends. 1. In terms of location, although it is not as convenient as living in the ancient city, it is located in Haidong Town, Dali City. It is a 34-minute drive from Dali Railway Station and a 19-minute drive from Dali Airport. From this perspective, it is actually very suitable as the first stop for accommodation in Dali, whether arriving by plane or train, you can easily reach the hotel directly. 2. Because of the high terrain, you can overlook Erhai Lake from any room in the hotel. This is thanks to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which can capture all the Erhai Lake scenery, which is very beautiful. "Wuxiang Oriental · Dali Seaview Villa" has only 6 seaview rooms, each with an ethereal name: Xingye, Qinchen, Yuesheng, Jibai, Liangshi, Yelan, with areas ranging from 42–88 square meters. 3. To be honest, every room in the hotel is beautiful. Floor-to-ceiling bathtubs, outdoor terraces, and glass skylights connect the interior with Erhai Lake, creating a seamless and bright space where the sea and sky meet. The design is mainly pure white, making people feel as if they are in a resort villa on the Aegean coast. 4. The room decorations and displays are all about quality and appearance, with O'logne toiletries, Marshall Bluetooth speakers, wool carpets, soft sofas, and custom-made wash bags, masks, and earplugs, taking care of everything in every detail. In terms of design, the arched walls, white large beds, black and white bathrooms, built-in pools, and oversized floor-to-ceiling windows allow guests to have zero-distance contact with Erhai Lake whether they are lying down or sitting. 5. Also because of the outstanding design, staying here, you won't feel bored even if you stay in the room all day. You can take photos in any pose you like, and every shot is a blockbuster. During the day, the light and shadow of Erhai Lake change, and the light and shadow in front of the window also change, and every moment has its own beauty. 6. The public area has a slightly palatial style, with a huge outdoor floor-to-ceiling window that captures all the sea views, making it a great place to take photos. There is also a pure white art staircase leading to the lower floors, so be sure to take a beautiful photo. If you stay in the cave suite here, then enjoy and take as many INS-style photos as you can to flood your Moments.
