👍Reasons for recommendation: If you're looking for a guesthouse where you can enjoy a peaceful view and warm service, this guesthouse by Erhai Lake is the perfect choice. From the moment you step in, you'll be captivated by its charm. 🏘Room type/layout: The guesthouse has a reasonable room layout and complete facilities, making it feel very cozy. Although the room I stayed in was not large, it was well-equipped, clean, tidy, and very beautiful. What surprised me the most was that the room had a terrace with a direct view of the sea. In the evening, a few friends and I enjoyed the view and chatted here, which was very pleasant. In addition, the guesthouse's garden is full of hydrangeas, which are carefully tended by the staff, making the environment even more beautiful. 🧹Soundproofing/hygiene: The guesthouse has excellent soundproofing, allowing you to sleep peacefully at night. The hygiene is impeccable, with spotless rooms and clean, comfortable bedding, which is very reassuring. 🏕Nearby attractions: The guesthouse is in a great location, right next to the ecological corridor. You can see the sunrise from your room every morning and enjoy the sunset in the evening. You can walk to Erhai Lake, which is quieter and more pleasant than Longkan Wharf and Caicun, making it a great place to relax. In addition, there are many cafes and Yunnan restaurants around the guesthouse, all of which are very authentic and worth trying. 💗Other tips: The staff at the guesthouse are very warm and attentive, calling in advance to guide you to the taxi location and patiently explaining the travel route, which is very heartwarming. There are many restaurants within 200 meters of the guesthouse, all of which are delicious and highly recommended. If you want to find a place to relax, this is the place for you. In addition, the guesthouse has several chains, so you can choose according to your needs. Be sure to check the weather before going to Cangshan Mountain, as the weather on the mountain is changeable. It is recommended to rent a cotton coat to avoid catching a cold. Although Lijiang Ancient Town is famous, it is chaotic and there is nothing to do or eat. In comparison, Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain in Dali are more worth visiting. The hot water in the guesthouse may not be warm enough, which I hope can be improved. But overall, the experience at this guesthouse was great, and I highly recommend it to all travel lovers! Summary: This guesthouse not only has a great location, beautiful environment, and attentive service, but also makes you feel very warm. Whether it's the room facilities, hygiene, or nearby attractions, it's impeccable. If you're planning a trip to Dali, this guesthouse is definitely worth a try!

Dali Erhai, go to a windy place and lie down Longing for a weekend lying down trip Hope to retire by Erhai Lake and lie down for retirement Personal feeling: West Erhai 🆚 East Erhai First conclusion, cycling in West Erhai is yyds! Before coming, colleagues said not to lie by the seaside, the humid environment is old. Without doing any research, I just wanted to walk around casually, but I was still a bit worried before setting off. But! This guesthouse, Manhuayu, is really worth the money! It just opened in 2023, not only is it new, but you can also watch the sunrise over Erhai Lake from the bed! The location is right at the starting point of the ecological corridor, and there is a shared bike station just 50 meters away. It's a favorite for cycling enthusiasts 🚴! (Last two pictures) The scenery in West Erhai is really worth cycling slowly and enjoying it. The dawn redwoods are starting to turn red, and the seagulls are gradually flying in (a bit plump. Slurp). Xizhou Ancient Town 🆚 Dali Ancient City Personally, I think both are so-so, very commercialized. The rice fields at the end of Xizhou Ancient Town have been harvested, but the driver found a replacement near the entrance! The rice fields are still there, and the roadside is full of half-human-high purple foxtail grass! Purple! Purple! This adds one point to Xizhou Ancient Town! 😂 East Erhai Wenbi Village On the second day, I couldn't resist, thinking that since I was here, I might as well take a car around the lake. Although I personally think East Erhai is not as good as West Erhai, Wenbi Village is underrated. This coffee shop, Yujian, is built on a hillside, and I randomly chose to check in and wait for the sunset 🌄. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere of the coffee shop is particularly good, with some prose books. Sitting by the window on the tatami, the view is wide and you can overlook the entire comic-like Wenbi Village. Unknowingly, more than two hours passed, very comfortable. Oh, by the way! Their coffee is super delicious, the tamarind iced Americano is very characteristic of Yunnan, sweet and sour full marks 👍

If you want to watch the sunrise over Erhai Lake while lying in bed, this is the place for you! ! ! 🌅 Each room has panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Every time I open the curtains, I am amazed by the beautiful sea view in front of me. The yard is full of beautiful flowers. Every step is a scene, and any photo is so beautiful! ! · As soon as you walk out, you will see the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor. There are also sightseeing buses that stop when you wave your hand, heading to Longkan Wharf, Cai Village, and S Bay. The transportation is also very convenient~ And it’s only a few hundred meters from the Centrifugal Café! ! ☕It is very convenient for sisters who want to take beautiful photos📸 · They also have their own restaurant and cafe (the rice noodles for breakfast are delicious 🤩The flower tea and small cakes for afternoon tea are also very beautiful 🍰

Facing the morning breeze by the Erhai Lake is exceptionally refreshing. The picturesque scenery is beautiful no matter how you capture it. A room with a view of the sea all day long is nothing but blue skies and white clouds. Enjoying the breeze of Erhai Lake, lounging in a rocking chair is just too comfortable. I guess this is the meaning of travel, isn't it? Good times dilute all the unpleasantness. It only takes a 15-minute drive to reach the ancient town, which is very close. Traveling with children, so I chose a family room. The on-call service is very attentive. Rented a bicycle next door and rode around Erhai Lake, Chasing the sunset with the scent of Erhai Lake.

Right by the Erhai Lake!! The environment is absolutely amazing. Open the curtains and you can see Erhai Lake. Very suitable for friends traveling to Dali!! - Rooms are fully equipped, and the space is also very large! The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas! Clean and tidy.

In front of the door is the Erhai Lake, and the courtyard is full of 🈵 flowers... This is the sea view B&B of my dreams. 🥹 We checked in in the afternoon, and the housekeeper brought us an afternoon tea. We enjoyed the dusk and Erhai Lake while eating. I really love the sea of flowers in the courtyard! It's even more beautiful than what the naked eye can see!! Next day, waking up at 7:30 in the morning, I could watch the sunrise over Erhai Lake from the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows. 🌤️ I went to the shore of Erhai Lake with my bestie ahead of time. After watching the sunrise, we went to take photos. 📸 It was as if we had the whole area to ourselves, with no one to disturb us. 🙊 After taking photos, we went back to the hotel for a hot breakfast. The variety was rich 😋 and it was buffet style! So satisfying!! After getting ready, we could start our commando-style tourism!!! The location of the B&B is very good, and it's very convenient to take a 🚗.

I really love this sea view homestay 💓 It is very close to Erhai Lake~ From a distance, you can still see the beautiful scenery of the rolling mountains!
