At this guesthouse in Shuanglang, Dali,
with its pure white walls and simple green plants🍃,
it creates a minimalist space full of INS style.
📍Detailed address:

📸Photo tips:
• Pure white staircase (recommend wearing a bright-colored long dress, best light at 10 AM)
• 180° floor-to-ceiling window (backlight silhouette shots are amazing)
• Public area pure white Erhai window view afternoon tea (bring a straw bag + English newspaper as props)
• Bathtub inside the room (sprinkle petals, shoot from above with diagonal composition)

🌅Nearby activities:

✔️Rent a car🚗 and cycle along Huanhai East Road
✔️At the end of September and November, you can see the Erhai fishing lanterns✨
💡Tips:
• Recommend choosing rooms above the 3rd floor for unobstructed views
• Book one month in advance in the off-season; in peak season, rooms sell out fast, especially the Guimi Terrace Sea View King Room and various sea view suites⚠️
• Bring a reflector for photos, Erhai’s reflection can easily darken faces
• Don’t miss the guesthouse’s free travel photography service; the photographer is great at finding angles and gives 5 free film photos🎞️
