A Must-Stay Fairy Tale Guesthouse in Hidden Dali for an Ultra-Treasure Travel Experience

In the ancient city of Dali, known for its romantic scenery, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a secret garden hidden within a villa community. This place perfectly embodies the meaning of "building a hut among the people, yet free from the noise of carriages and horses." The tranquility of a traditional Chinese courtyard combined with the comfort of a modern hotel makes the journey more than just a rushed experience of checking in at popular spots.

📍 How to get there:
This Bai-style building is tucked away in a villa cluster in the mountain and water commercial area. It’s just a 15-minute walk to the South Gate of Dali Ancient City. Watch the sunrise over Cangshan Mountain early in the morning, and play with koi fish in the courtyard at dusk. It’s a peaceful oasis amid the bustle, with an incredibly convenient location.

🌿 Endless delights:
• Design: From the koi pond to the tropical rainforest garden, the ever-changing scenery makes every corner a perfect photo spot! My favorite is the dappled light on the white courtyard wall—every snap feels like a scene from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
• Rooms: The smart home system combined with floor heating perfectly understands Dali’s day and night temperature differences! Plus, unique aromatherapy and separate toiletries take care of every detail, completely curing my Southern China damp weather PTSD.
• Service: The hostess enthusiastically recommends hidden local spots only insiders know, along with breakfast and afternoon tea amenities.
