Dali Qingyi Residence

Dwelling by the Mountains, Dreaming upon the Clouds Qingyi Lodge– A hidden retreat nestled at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in Dali. Through the windows, guests are greeted by the majestic Cangshan Mountain, while looking up to witness the dance of drifting clouds. This serene sanctuary offers an escape into nature’s embrace. A 20-minute scenic hike upstream along the creek leads to Jizhao Nunnery, renowned as "China’s Most Beautiful Buddhist Nun Temple," where vibrant hydrangeas bloom in courtyards and tranquil tea ceremonies await. Cycle along the winding Cang’er Boulevard, riding with the breeze from Erhai Lake, or ascend the Gantong Cable Car to command breathtaking views of the emerald valley and ancient town panorama. Most remarkably, the lodge faces the prime sunset viewing direction of Cangshan. On clear days, the golden-hour sun bathes the mountain peaks in molten light, creating the legendary "Golden Mountain Sunset" spectacle. Inspired by Cangshan’s grandeur, the lodge seamlessly integrates nature into its design. Each guest room features a panoramic window or private balcony to immerse in the landscape. The surrounding neighborhood has emerged as Dali’s newest culinary hotspot. Must-try brunch spots like Sannei Croissant and Fly to the Moon are beloved by travelers and locals alike. ---
