Dali Shuanglang｜i-People’s Laid-Back Healing Vacation

Dali｜A Healing Paradise Hidden in Shuanglang for i-People🌿

Akatiya Anyin Qingshan Hotel by Erhai Lake is definitely a happy home for social anxiety sufferers! Lying flat here for three days, you can fully realize the healing vacation dream of "looking up to see Cangshan Mountain, looking down to see Erhai Lake"✨

📍Location
Hidden on Huanhai East Road in Qingshan Village, Shuanglang Town (specific address: No. 8, Group 3, Qingshan Village, Huanhai East Road, Shuanglang Town), just a few steps from Erhai Lake. It’s very quiet, completely avoiding the crowds of the ancient town, and in the morning you wake up only to the sound of waves knocking on the window~

💫Must-Check Highlights
1⃣️ 180° Sea View Balcony
Every room comes with an extra-large viewing balcony. In the morning, brew a cup of Yunnan small-grain coffee, curl up on the lounge chair watching the clouds roll over Cangshan Mountain—i-People say they absolutely don’t want to go out!

2⃣️ Mirror Infinity Pool
Recommended to shoot between 5-7 pm, when the water surface reflects the pink-purple sunset glow. Wearing a solid-color long dress, any snap is a masterpiece (remember to bring a shawl, the Erhai wind is a bit chilly).

3️⃣ Unexpected Delightful Meals
Afternoon tea includes local specialties like Rushan cheese and rose cakes, and the goodnight dessert is actually Dali’s signature cold shrimp! You can show off by eating three bowls of rice noodles for breakfast~

🤫 Secrets Only Guests Know
• Butler service is super thoughtful! They quietly leave handwritten weather forecasts and health tea bags in the room.
• Every Wednesday afternoon there’s a Bai ethnic tie-dyeing experience, and you can take your creation home as a souvenir.
• There’s a hidden stargazing terrace on the top floor where you can lie down and count stars at night (remember to ask the butler for a blanket).

🌊 Nearby Activities (No Need to Leave the Hotel Area)
• A 5-minute walk to Shuanglang Pier, watching fishing boats return at dusk is super romantic.
• Opposite is Yang Liping’s Sun Palace (now converted into a café).
• Ride a bike along Huanhai East Road, with S-shaped bends that are popular photo spots along the way.

📝 Laid-Back Guide
1. Be sure to book a sea view room! The price difference between the basic and deluxe rooms is small, but the view difference is huge.
2. It’s recommended to stay at least 3 days to truly experience Dali’s slow pace.
3. The off-season (November to March) offers the best value; remember to book a package with meals in advance.

💡 Random Thoughts
As a seasoned i-Person, what moves me most is that no one here disturbs your daydreaming! The staff tacitly maintain a comfortable distance and appear just in time when needed~ It’s so rare to find such a secluded corner in a bustling tourist city.
