This seaside hotel in Dali feels like stepping into the Wizard of Oz!

If you're obsessed with Erhai Lake and tropical aesthetics, this Wizard of Oz-inspired hotel hidden in Wenbi Village is a must-visit! Wandering through pure white arches and tropical plants, every snapshot captures the same vacation vibe as "Call Me By Your Name" 🏝️

📍Hidden Gem Coordinates:
• Prime hillside location in Wenbi Village, facing the Erhai Lake sunset (rooms offer unobstructed "sea-meets-sky" views)
• 5-minute walk to the viral photo spot "Wenbi Village Road," 20-minute drive to Shuanglang/Santorini

🌿Immersive Rainforest Aesthetics:
1️⃣ The designer brought Bali to Erhai: Poolside filled with monstera and bird-of-paradise plants, rooms feature rattan hammocks + canopy beds, with stunning light filtering through shutters
2️⃣ Premium perks: Free borrowable Dai/Bohemian dresses (with matching accessories!), 1-hour professional photoshoot—your social media will blow up
3️⃣ Hidden surprise: Rooftop sunset high tea with pink skies + Cangshan Mountain silhouette—arrive by 18:30

📸Viral Photo Spots Guide:
• Pool reflections: Lounge chair + straw hat + pineapple prop, diagonal framing for magazine-worthy shots
• Spiral staircase: Wear the hotel’s bright dresses, shoot from the third floor for a flowing skirt effect
• Glasshouse breakfast: Push the fruit tray toward Erhai, use wide-angle for a "floating" illusion

🛏️Stay Tips:
• Book the "Full Sea View Terrace Suite"! Soak in the tub facing Cangshan and Erhai (off-season rates start at 1k+)
• Photoshoots require 1-day advance booking—opt for golden hour (1hr after sunrise/before sunset)
• Free hotel shuttle to the village entrance; ask the butler to arrange nightlife rides

⚠️Erhai Travel Notes:
• Sunscreen + sunglasses are mandatory—high-altitude UV is no joke
• East Erhai shoreline is better for photos; West Ring Road is under renovation—detour suggested
• Local Bai cuisine leans salty/spicy—ask chefs to go light on salt
