In Dali, this lazy little town,
we discovered a hidden treasure guesthouse deep in Shuanglang Ancient Town—
Dali Gugu Meimei Sea View Giant Screen Hotel (Erhai Shuanglang Branch)
Open the window to the sparkling Erhai Lake,
enjoy a private quiet beach🏝️
and many more surprise Easter eggs waiting for you💫
🌊Beauty is justice:
• The rooftop sunset viewing platform is like a "God's perspective"—a giant screen sea view paired with the sunset glow, every shot looks like a movie scene🎬
• The popular swing seems to float above Erhai Lake; wear a white dress and you can take stunning photos that will blow up your social feed
• The modern minimalist design is so photogenic, with wooden ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunlight casting beautiful shadows
🛏️Stay with star-level amenities:
• Marshall speakers in the room play a playlist of Erhai wave sounds
• Dyson hairdryer + giant screen projector + fridge and bathtub setup, fully up to high-end hotel standards
• Detail lovers will be thrilled! Even face masks and steam eye masks are prepared
• Special praise for the elevator! Families with elderly and children no longer need to carry luggage upstairs
💁Spoiled service:
• Welcome fruit🍉 and exquisite afternoon tea upon check-in
• A warm glass of milk🥛 every night before bed, and silver ear fungus soup is super heartwarming
• Free travel photography service with 5 digital photos included, a blessing for the lazy
• 24-hour butler service ready to respond to any needs
🍽️Taste of Shuanglang:
• Breakfast features authentic Yunnan rice noodles + freshly ground coffee☕️
• The rooftop afternoon tea tiramisu is amazing, enjoying dessert with the Erhai view is so healing
• Only a 3-minute walk to authentic Bai cuisine
📍Super convenient location:
• Right opposite Shuanglang Middle School, quiet yet lively
• Only a 5-minute walk to the ancient town core area
• Parking lot right at the guesthouse entrance (a blessing for self-driving travelers)
• Home to the popular check-in spot "Tree in the Lake"🌳
📸Secret photo tips:
1. Rush to the rooftop at sunrise, the soft light makes silhouette shots dreamy
2. Visit the swing at dusk, the golden glow on the dress hem is stunning
3. Bathtub🛁 bubble bath in the room + Erhai background, atmosphere maxed out
4. Bring a ethnic-style shawl, take photos in the wooden corridor for a very "Dali" vibe
💡Check-in tips:
• Waterfront sea view rooms need to be booked 1 month in advance
• October to November is the best cost-performance season
• Remember to bring sunscreen🧴, Erhai’s UV rays are no joke
• The guesthouse can help book a private car tour around Erhai Lake
The so-called poetry and distant places probably mean waking early to see the mist over Cangshan, watching the sparkling Erhai Lake in the afternoon, and encountering pink sunset clouds in the evening✨
