During my recent trip to Dali, I stayed at the Lismar·Tropical Sunset Garden Seaview Resort Hotel and discovered an absolute gem of a forest-themed getaway by Erhai Lake! Nestled in Wenbi Village, this location offers both tranquility and breathtaking sunset views over the entire Erhai Lake, making it the ultimate choice for a relaxing Dali retreat 🌊
✨ Room Highlights
Every room features 180° floor-to-ceiling windows facing Erhai Lake. We stayed in the "Forest Isle" room type with its Instagram-worthy hammock and massage bathtub – waking up to sunlight streaming in was pure bliss~ The bathroom amenities were even Acqua di Parma! Soaking in the tub while watching the clouds drift over Cangshan Mountain required zero photo filters.
🍽️ Foodie Paradise
Just a 5-minute walk to Wenbi Village Food Street! Must-tries:
• Bai-style Sour & Spicy Fish (Must order! The broth is so good you'll drink three bowls)
• Specialized Roast Rushan Cheese Shop (Rose sauce flavor is incredible)
• Late-night BBQ Stalls (Locals swear by this charcoal grill)
The hotel's own starlit bar is fantastic too – their signature "Cangshan Snow" cocktail wins on both looks and taste.
📸 Photo Guide
1️⃣ Rooftop Sky Mirror: Best at dusk for Erhai Lake + sunset reflections
2️⃣ Garden Pool: Surrounded by tropical plants – bring your straw bag and wide-brim hat
3️⃣ Room Hammock: Backlighting creates magical atmosphere (butlers thoughtfully prepare flower petals)
🛎️ Service Excellence
• Free shuttle to Dali Ancient Town
• Different bedtime desserts nightly (Rushan pudding is my favorite)
• Ethnic costume rentals available (Bai headdresses photograph beautifully)
🚗 Nearby Activities
• 15-minute bike ride to Xiaoputuo for seagulls
• 10-yuan taxi to Ideal State (go mornings to avoid crowds)
• For quiet moments, try fresh seafood at Jinsuo Island fishing village
💡 Tips
1. Book 1 month early! Seaview rooms sell out fast
2. Dali's UV is strong – keep face masks handy
3. Front desk can arrange affordable ethnic-style photo shoots
This forest-meets-seaview resort truly maximizes vacation vibes – waking to birdsong and falling asleep to waves is Dali at its absolute best~
