Discovered a treasure wellness hotel at the foot of Dali's Cangshan Mountain

Recommended by my bestie, this Yunnan Baiyao-owned hotel made me never want to leave after five days – half the price of Banyan Tree, yet featuring private hot springs, medicinal cuisine, and Bai ethnic courtyards beneath Cangshan Mountain🏡 From the parking lot, a private shuttle whisked us to our room. The white-walled, black-tiled compound nestled among greenery felt like stumbling into a hermit's retreat from "Heavenly Creations." Our hot spring suite was so spacious we could exercise indoors, with a wooden bathtub framing Cangshan's silhouette. Soaking under the stars as they emerged from clouds, even my child whispered, "Mom, this beats Disneyland"✨ We first stayed in a third-floor sea-view room where Erhai Lake's shimmering waves greeted us through the window. The hotel cleverly converted tatami mats into extra beds, transforming our space into a "luxury two-bedroom suite" for our family. Later, we moved to a quadrangle hot spring villa – four suites sharing a courtyard where kids splashed in private pools by day, while we grilled under the Milky Way by night, feeling transported to Kyoto's machiya townhouses🏮 Yunnan Baiyao's wellness philosophy shines in every detail: Hansgrohe fixtures paired with their signature toothpaste and toiletries, morning deliveries of panax notoginseng flower tea by butlers, and medicinal menus at Tiancui Restaurant designed by pharmaceutical researchers! Steamed chicken with bamboo fungus carried angelica aromas, even desserts featured poria cocos – truly "Yunnan medicine infused in cuisine"🥣 Chongyue SPA was the ultimate stress-reliever! Watching Cangshan's mist roll by during a massage with Yunnan Baiyao essential oils left me weightless, as if half a year's fatigue melted away🧘♀️ Post-treatment strolls revealed Bai architecture's upturned eaves against sunset, with Three Pagodas' shadows stretching across meadows – suddenly understanding why this is called "a sanctuary beyond sanctuaries"[Surprising][Surprising] Compared to Erhai's crowds, this stolen slow life felt magical: morning walks to March Street amid birdsong, afternoons admiring Three Pagodas' reflections at Chongsheng Temple, evenings soaking in private springs. As we left, the butler whispered, "Return when winter cherries bloom in the courtyard," and I began counting days until my next escape to this Cangshan foothill haven~[Love] 📍Dali Ease Wellness Resort (3 minutes to Chongsheng Temple, 10 minutes to Old Town – a hidden wellness paradise at Cangshan's base)
