Lying in Manshan Yishe to watch Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake|This hotel in Wenbi Village healed my trip

Discovered this fairy-tale hotel in Dali - Manshan Yise! It’s literally a dream residence by Erhai Lake, where you can lie in bed and see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, absolutely stunning✨

🌵Hotel Location:
• Right next to the Erhai Ecological Corridor, enjoying a super private waterfront area
• A 5-minute walk to the popular S-curve photo spot
• About a 15-minute drive to Xizhou Ancient Town (recommend renting a small electric scooter to get there)

🌸Design Highlights:
• Pure white minimalist architecture paired with a water courtyard, every corner is photogenic!
• Rooms with 270° floor-to-ceiling windows facing Erhai Lake (rooms with bathtubs are a must)
• Rooftop terrace for sunrise and sunset views, plus drone photography service

📸Photo Guide:
1. Capture the sunrise reflection at 7 AM (the hotel provides petal props)
2. Take backlit side profile shots at the waterfront tea table at 4 PM
3. Shoot silhouettes in the evening wearing the hotel’s tie-dye outfits

🍃Hidden Experiences:
• Free bicycles to ride along the ecological corridor
• Bai ethnic three-course tea tasting activity at night
• Photographer appointment available for follow-shoots (results comparable to a travel studio)

💡Useful Tips:
• Off-season prices are more budget-friendly (recommended November to March)
• To get a sea view, remember to request room 812 or 911
• Few restaurants nearby, can take a taxi to Xizhou for dining

Next time I come to Dali, I’ll stay here again! Lying in the room watching the clouds roll over Cangshan and the sparkling waves of Erhai Lake—this is what a vacation should be like~
