By the shore of Erhai Lake, a house of blank space

This homestay's pure white architecture paired with Erhai blue is definitely a perfect spot for photos, especially the Santorini-style public area, a guaranteed like magnet on social media 🏝️

📍Superb location
Dali Pomegranate Sea View Boutique Hotel (Shuanglang Erhai Branch) is right opposite the Shuanglang North Bus Terminal, within walking distance to Shuanglang Ancient Town, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and cafes; every morning we wake up to a view of Erhai Lake from the room, and in the evening, we enjoy a drink on the balcony watching the sunset—so cozy~

📸Photo-worthy spots revealed
1️⃣ The Santorini-style pure white arches + Erhai blue in the first-floor public area. Bright-colored dresses are recommended; the light between 3-5 pm is the most beautiful, every shot looks like a masterpiece.
2️⃣ The floor-to-ceiling window + bathtub combo in the room (remember to bring bubble bath balls), perfect for mirror selfies with an instant Instagram vibe.
3️⃣ Panoramic views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, the light before 9 am is the softest, backlit side profiles are stunning.

🛏️Stay experience
The whole house smart system is super convenient; electric curtains open to an unbeatable sea view, the smart toilet is warm and cozy, and the bedding is very comfortable; we booked the Original Heart Sea View King Room which also has a window-side bathtub—bathing while watching Erhai Lake is simply heavenly~

🍽️Food highlights
1️⃣ The homestay’s breakfast rice noodles are very authentic; recommended to sit in the outdoor area to eat while watching the sea.
2️⃣ The “Fisherman’s Village” restaurant, a 5-minute walk away, must-try dishes are the hot and sour fish and water spinach with dried tofu.
3️⃣ Recommended Fushi Café, the sea view seats are perfect for daydreaming all day long 🌊

💡Useful tips
• For travel photography, you can book the homestay’s partnered photographer in advance; the results are 100 times better than selfies.
• UV rays are very strong, so bring sunglasses 🕶️ and a hat, and reapply sunscreen every hour.
• If staying 2 nights or more, it’s recommended to rent a car to circle Erhai Lake; the homestay can help contact reliable drivers 🚗

In summary, this sea view boutique hotel with an average price of 500+ per person scores full marks for location, photo opportunities, and smart experience. It’s especially suitable for trips with girlfriends and couples’ vacations. Remember to bring enough memory cards and power banks! 💙
