I was very happy to stay here on my trip to Dali. The guest house is conveniently located within walking distance between the old town and Cangshan Mountain. It is also within walking distance of the Three Pagodas. The rooms are nice and very comfortable. Some rooms have great views down to Erhai Lake and the mountains. The breakfasts provided are huge! I am usually a big eater but I couldn't finish all the food. The big highlight for me was the staff. They were all vwry kind and cheerful. I very much enjoyed my stay here and would be happy to stay here again.
