After visiting Dali three times, I finally found the perfect place to stay by Erhai Lake.

📍 Huazhu Luyu Seaview Inn (Dali Erhai Branch)

🌊 The location is amazing! Located in the center of Dali, it is only a few minutes' drive from the airport and high-speed rail station. In the evening, you can watch the sun's rays pierce through the clouds, turning the entire Erhai Lake into a sparkling lake of crushed diamonds! The floor-to-ceiling windows frame the landscape into a flowing scroll painting.

🛋 The rooms are soul-stirring
▫ The 270° seaview room has its own viewing bathtub, where you can watch seagulls skimming across the water while taking a bath.
▫ The smart curtains can be opened and closed with one click. In the morning, you will be kissed awake by the sunlight, and when you open your eyes, you will see the ink painting-like Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake.
▫ Five-star bedding + Dyson hair dryer, detail-oriented people will be ecstatic
▫ There is a private viewing balcony where you can lie down and watch the clouds waltz on Erhai Lake.

🌿 List of luxury experiences
✅ Take photos at the Instagram-worthy swimming pool 📸 (it is recommended to wear a white swimsuit + straw hat)
✅ Cycle along the Erhai Ecological Corridor 🚴♀
✅ Take a wooden boat to explore Nanzhao Style Island and feed the fat seagulls (they will stand on the bow of the boat as the captain!)
✅ Enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace + Bai ethnic Three-Course Tea experience, the sweet and salty collision is super wonderful
✅ Secret route: walk 15 minutes to Tuanshan Park to get a bird's-eye view of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake
