🏨Dali Shishang Shuanglang Hotel
📍Address: Near Yuji Island Intersection, 12th Group, Main Street, Shuanglang Village, Shuanglang Town, Dali City, Yunnan Province
🏨Introduction:
Outside is the bustling Shuanglang main street, and the front courtyard features a restaurant and bar surrounded by flowers🌸. White walls ➕ old wood ➕ handmade tiles and washed stone, these elements, characteristic of 'Xie Ke's' style, envelop the 80-year-old warehouse and shops, forming the fabric of the entire spatial ambiance.
In the east-west facing courtyard, sunlight shifts and lingers throughout the seasons, making guests feel at home, free, and radiant.
Through a wooden door hidden behind a winding path, Shuanglang's unique rough-textured bluestone archway and fireplace come into view from the lobby, with 'Fensi' memories carved into the natural 'exhibits'.
🛏Rooms:
The hotel has 14 guest rooms, distributed across two buildings facing Erhai Lake. Each room has an independent courtyard or terrace, and some room types even have two small courtyards. 🏡The full sea-view rooms allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake from within your room. Pushing open the floor-to-ceiling glass doors, the extra-wide terrace directly faces the sea, making it a very therapeutic choice.
🍴Dining:
Breakfast is a rich à la carte menu.
The rice noodles are incredibly flavorful and satisfying.
For dinner, the Iberian pork with grilled pineapple is juicy with every bite.
The pork tacos are generously filled.
The mushrooms in the confit mushroom vegetable salad are truly fragrant.
😻Tips:
The restaurant 'Gewai Xiaoguan' (Extraordinary Bistro) is not only where guests enjoy breakfast but also an open restaurant for tourists and diners. Beyond its walls is the bustling ancient town street, while inside the courtyard, the sunlight is serene, and you can hear the rustling of leaves and birds chirping.
🌊Activities:
Shuanglang Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side.
To the west are the nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain, at its doorstep are the vast blue waves of Erhai Lake, to the east lies the 'Buddhist holy land' Jizu Mountain, and to the south is 'Penglai Immortal Island' Xiaoputuo.
📽Cai Village, the filming location of 'Breakup Buddies', and Xizhou, known for its distinctive Bai ethnic residential architecture. Shuanglang has also become a must-visit spot for internet celebrities, with many villagers spontaneously setting up so-called 'Sky Mirror' photo spots on their rooftops for tourists, charging 5-15 yuan per person.
