Dali Yimian Mountain View Homestay (Caicun Longqi Wharf Branch)  

Tucked in a quiet village between Erhai Lake and the Dali Ancient City, just a 10-minute walk from the lakeshore and an 8-minute drive to the north gate of the old town. Easy private parking for guests traveling by car.

A classic Bai-style dwelling with a rooftop terrace that delivers 360° views of Cangshan Mountain and the ancient city's night skyline. Rooms are straightforward and cozy, with showers and slippers provided. Evenings here mean countryside wisps of smoke and the gentle chorus of insects—perfect for unplugging.

Private parking on site and a rooftop terrace with panoramic mountain and old-town views. On-site restaurant serving local fare and easy access to Erhai Lake for lakeside mornings and quick trips into the ancient city.

Taste local cuisine in the inn's restaurant, with regional, home-style flavors that pair well with a day of exploring Dali. A relaxed spot to refuel after wandering the lake and old town.
