Dali Xihou Homestay: A Romantic Stay Where Erhai Lake Fills Your Room

🌊 **Location Magic**: The "Picture Frame" by Erhai Lake in Caicun Village Nestled between the lively Caicun Village and the serene Erhai Lake, Xihou Homestay offers panoramic views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai right outside your window—crystal-clear blue waters, lush mountain layers, and even the shadows of drifting clouds. Wake up to mist rolling over the lake at dawn and chase the golden sunset in the evening, capturing Erhai’s beauty from sunrise to nightfall without leaving your room. 🛏 **Rooms**: A Cozy Corner to Lounge with a View - **Prime View Spot**: The floor-to-ceiling windows act as a "natural filter"! A circular bathtub by the window lets you soak while gazing at the lake, paired with scented candles for max romance. The cloud-soft blankets on the bed make you feel like you’re snuggling with Cangshan’s drifting clouds. - **Detail-Obsessed**: The minimalist, high-end bathroom features crisp white tiles, subtly fragrant toiletries, and even towels embroidered with the homestay’s name—thoughtful touches everywhere. Smart amenities and ample storage ensure a comfy, hassle-free stay. 💁♀️ **Service**: Packaged with Dali’s Warmth - **Attentive Hosts**: Enjoy a Dali-style breakfast (Weishan rice noodles, fresh juice, and flower cakes) and a hand-drawn "exploration map"—tips on the best photo spots by Erhai, the most authentic *posu baba* (flaky pastry), and even pre-arranged e-bike rentals for effortless fun! - **Hidden Perks**: Want Insta-worthy shots? The host doubles as a "photo consultant," guiding you on poses with the window scenery. At dusk, book the "Erhai Sunset Tea Break" to savor *rushan* (milk fan) while soaking in the view—pure magic. 🚲 **Local Guide**: Explore Dali from Caicun Village 1. **Lakeside Ride**: Rent an e-bike at Caicun Pier and cruise the ecological corridor! With Cangshan’s emerald peaks on one side and mirror-like Erhai on the other, stop by Xizhou Old Town for freshly baked *posu baba* (try the rose-filled sweet version) and Bai-style architecture at Sifang Street. 2. **Sunset Hunt**: Head to Shuanglang at dusk to watch the lake turn to gold. For more serenity, visit Xiaoputuo Island in Wase—its Guanyin Pavilion amid glimmering waves looks like an ink painting. 3. **Cultural Dive**: Try tie-dyeing in Zhoucheng, turning white fabric into Erhai blue for a unique souvenir. Hunt for handmade silver jewelry and woven bags at Caicun’s market—hidden gems in the local bustle. 🍜 **Local Flavors**: A Taste of Dali’s "Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon" - **Must-Try List**: ✔️ Grilled *rushan* (milk fan) brushed with rose jam—crispy outside, chewy inside, and irresistibly sweet. ✔️ Weishan rice noodles with chili sauce—silky and flavorful, perfect for breakfast. ✔️ Xizhou *posu baba*—flaky layers, equally divine in sweet or savory versions. - **Insider Tip**: Ask the host for Caicun’s hidden "Bai family dishes" like sour-spicy fish and stir-fried *shuixing yanghua* (local greens), best enjoyed with Erhai’s vistas. Xihou Homestay is your key to "living inside Erhai Lake"—offering private romance in your room while keeping Dali’s vibrant culture and landscapes at your doorstep. Whether it’s a honeymoon, a girls’ photo trip, or a solo retreat, let Erhai’s breeze and Cangshan’s clouds star in your journey ✨
