A Luxurious and Elegant Hidden Gem Amidst the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake—Mangshu·Taotang Hill

In Dali's Shuanglang Ancient Town, I discovered a secluded, Zen-inspired boutique hotel nestled between the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake🏨

This hotel is called—
Mangshu·Taotang Hill Seaview Hotel (Dali Erhai Branch)

🌈Hotel｜Reasons to Recommend:
1️⃣The hotel is tucked away at the end of an alley in Shuanglang's Dajianpang Village. Stepping through the gate reveals a hidden paradise—the front desk and minibar greet you immediately. The architecture evokes a traditional "courtyard house" vibe, complete with a stunning Chinese-style garden🏡. Just when you think that's all, a seaside path leads to another courtyard "facing the sea," offering a tranquil and relaxing holiday atmosphere⛱️.
2️⃣The hotel features a wabi-sabi design, using natural elements like wood🪵, earth, pottery, and stone to create a simple yet elegant environment. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, with artistic touches at every turn.
3️⃣The rooms are exceptionally well-equipped, each featuring a Dyson hairdryer, Marshall speaker🎵, giant screen projector, custom imported toiletries, Kohler bathroom fixtures, Kingkoil mattress🛏️, and a capsule coffee machine.
4️⃣Room reservations include a buffet breakfast, Western-style afternoon tea☕️, bedtime milk, attentive butler service (shuttle to/from parking lots, intersections, and Nankou Pier⛵️), parking space🅿️, travel guides, and a complimentary photo shoot experience.

📝Tips:
Book in advance to secure the best room types—during peak summer season, it's advisable to book at least 15 days ahead⚠️.
If visiting Dali recently, don’t forget sunscreen—the UV rays are extremely strong✨.
