Hotels in Cai Village/Longkan Wharf, Dali City

This B&B is absolutely amazing, beyond incredible! The environment is fantastic, and it's super convenient to get around. Erhai Lake is right outside, and you can see beautiful scenery directly from your room. There's even a rooftop terrace for watching the sunrise and sunset – it's truly so comfortable! What a shame it rained in Dali today and I couldn't see it, so I'll have to save it for next time. The housekeeper was also really nice, upgrading my room type for an even better view. The staff lady was exceptionally warm and thoughtful; she gave me a tour and helped me with my luggage. The B&B even has a little cat, very well-behaved and cute. Girls who love taking photos could easily get some great shots just within the B&B itself! ^^ I really, really recommend everyone come here!!

Facing Erhai Lake, Erhai Zhijing offers breathtaking scenery that's truly soul-healing. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, meticulous in every detail, patiently offering travel tips and going above and beyond to meet all our needs, big or small. Our stay was wonderfully comfortable and relaxed, just like being at home. The freshly prepared Chinese and Western breakfast, paired with local fresh fruits and coffee, was the perfect way to recharge before heading out.

We stayed in a king-size bed room, which was very clean and well-equipped. The disposable toiletries were plentiful, and there was even a kitchen available for use. Since there were many of us, we were arranged on the first floor, but the view from the window was fantastic – overlooking the fields and Cangshan Mountain. Right outside the entrance was a pond with many small fish, surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs. It was very pleasant to sit there, enjoy the breeze, and chat with friends. There are beautiful wall paintings in the courtyard, perfect for taking photos. The hotel is very close to Chongsheng Temple, about an 8-minute bike ride. Turning left out of the hotel will take you to Dali Ancient City, and there are also electric scooter rentals nearby. Overall, the hotel's location is very convenient for getting around. Calling a ride-hailing service to Cangshan Mountain is also not far. The service was also good; we had a responsive housekeeper, and they even gave us a souvenir when we checked out. Recommended!

Facilities: Very comprehensive! It's a shame I couldn't get a room with a bathtub, though. I really liked the marble design in the bathroom; it felt very luxurious. Hygiene: Very clean, and everything you could need was provided. They even had special detergent for washing underwear, which was a really thoughtful touch – I didn't even need to use the one I brought. Environment: Absolutely fantastic! We had a front-row ocean view, with an unobstructed view of the sunrise. There was a huge balcony, but we didn't really get to use it much as we were out exploring all the time. Next time, I'll definitely slow down and enjoy some coffee on the terrace. Service: The auntie and uncle were incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic. It was my first time in Dali, and I had no idea what to do. They gave us a detailed explanation, and the uncle was incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture and history, knowing which attractions had a long cultural background. If you're unsure how to explore or what kind of unique experiences you're looking for, they can clearly explain it and give great recommendations. Overall, it was superb! I plan to come back every year. If you walk north along the hotel, you'll find all the popular beachfront photo spots.

The room was clean, comfortable, and tidy. The Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor is right outside, and it's just a few minutes' walk to Caicun Pier. Dining and daily life are very convenient. We watched the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening; the scenery of Erhai Lake is unbeatable. The viewing terrace and Zen tea room upstairs are also great, and the amenities are excellent. The host was very warm and friendly, helping us with our luggage and providing detailed and thoughtful directions. The guesthouse's corgi, Pipi, is also very cute.

Clean and comfortable, quiet, and the pillows were especially cozy. The facilities are comprehensive, and there are even lockers for luggage. On the day of departure, you can check out and store your bags in the lockers before heading out to explore. The room faces Cangshan Mountain directly, so you can enjoy views of Cangshan from the balcony. It's really lovely to sit on the balcony and take in the scenery at your leisure.

After looking at several places, I chose this one, and it exceeded my expectations! The B&B is right next to Longkan Pier, and the rooms have private balconies. You can enjoy a direct view of Erhai Lake just by opening the glass door. During the day, you can watch Erhai Lake, and if you happen to be there when the fish lanterns are lit, you can watch them from the balcony – the atmosphere is just incredible✨ The room has a minimalist, clean white decor, and the hygiene is exceptional. There's also a projector and smart home features throughout. The entire B&B area is very quiet, far from the city's hustle and bustle. In the morning, you can enjoy the breeze from Erhai Lake, and in the evening, quietly watch the lake view. The ecological corridor is right outside, making it convenient for walks and bike rides. I had a comfortable stay and will definitely come back to Dali next time.

Push the window to see the sea, lie on the bed to embrace the beautiful sunrise of Caicun, Cangshan and Erhai Lake have a panoramic view. The location of the homestay is very good, it is an ecological corridor when you go out, renting a bicycle to ride along the lake, it is very pleasant. The boss service is particularly warm and caring, not only contact in advance, pick up and drop off at the point, help carry luggage, but also share play guides. The room is clean and comfortable, with complete facilities, morning view of the sunrise, and fragrant coffee. Every day here, is a longing for a slow life, next time you come to Dali will choose here!

This B&B is located in Caicun, on the southern end of the western side of Erhai Lake, just 200 meters from the shore. In about 2 minutes, you can rent a bicycle or a small scooter to cycle around the entire western side of Erhai Lake. The scenery during sunrise and sunset is absolutely stunning – truly a case of 'close to water, far from mountains.' The only minor drawback is that getting a taxi isn't very convenient, but you can ask the owner to arrange a car or book one in advance. The B&B is built and operated by local residents, and its traditional Chinese decor has a unique charm. The interior suites are simply furnished, giving you a real 'home away from home' feeling. The owner provides six-star service, responding to guest requests within a minute – incredibly prompt and attentive, making you feel truly cared for. Overall, it's great value for money and highly recommended.

The best memories I made in Dali. On my first day, I was rushing to catch a bus, and on the second day, it rained all day in Dali. The service details were truly touching. They proactively contacted me, added me on a messaging app, and asked about my itinerary. When I was about to arrive, the front desk staff came out to greet me. At checkout, they even helped carry my luggage to the car. In the mornings, I'd receive a 'Good morning.' They provided umbrellas on rainy days. The environment was quiet and comfortable, and opening the window to see a lush green view was wonderful. The rice noodles for breakfast were especially delicious. Everything was so thoughtful. If I had to describe it in one word, the highest praise I can give is 'the happiness of home.' I was so comfortable that I canceled my Airbnb by Erhai Lake for the second night and extended my stay here. The tamarind king drink I had while drinking tea on the mountain was truly delicious; I drank it for two days straight. It's a shame I can't find it in Shaxi now! 😭
