At Dali Mingyue Songjian Erhai Hotel, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake with sisters and enjoying the quiet time is an unforgettable experience. At Dali Mingyue Songjian Erhai Hotel, I gathered with my sisters by the Erhai Lake, welcoming the gentle sea breeze and bright moonlight. Sitting on the comfortable terrace, we savored the fresh tea fragrance, looking at the sparkling lake of Erhai. The tranquility and vastness of the sea brought deep peace to our souls. We gathered together, sharing each other's stories and dreams. In this quiet environment, our souls were purified, as if all the troubles were taken away by Erhai. We talked about the past, recalling those moments of laughter and tears. The tacit understanding and understanding between sisters made us feel extremely happy and warm. We encourage and support each other, blessing each other's growth and happiness. The Erhai Lake at night is like a bright mirror, reflecting our friendship and affection. We made wishes together, hoping that this deep affection can accompany us for a lifetime. At this special moment, we felt the preciousness and selflessness between sisters. Dali Mingyue Songjian Erhai Hotel provided us with a unique and beautiful background, making our sisterhood trip even more unforgettable.

| DeepSeek's Top 10 Seaview Inns in Dali! Mingyue Songjian I want to visit Yunnan a hundred more times just for this hotel ~“The bright moon shines between the pines, clear spring flows over the stones” This hotel perfectly embodies this poetic scene. The public areas are very artistic, with books, oil paintings, and artworks displayed in every corner~ Liubai Villa. Village Villa The hotel is right next to Teacher Yang Liping’s Sun Palace. The white walls and blue tiles blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural scenery, very distinctive. In front of the first floor, there is a solitary tree close to the sea~ Erhai Craftsman’s Lodge · Honey Bay Designed in pure white and natural wood tones, with tie-dye furniture in white and blue, the style is simple and cozy. Facing Erhai Lake, Cangshan Mountain, and the ancient town, it fully reflects the poetry and leisure of Dali. Tinghua Island Seaview Garden The inn has three huge garden public areas filled with lemon trees and flowers. The white daisies seem to extend into the sea, and there is a white swing by the seaside, so dreamy~ Ningfu Seaside Inn Located on Shuanglang Ethnic Culture Street, you can face Erhai Lake directly by opening the curtains. At dusk, the sea sparkles in the blue hour. It’s very private, and you can lie down and hear the sound of waves hitting the shore~ Dali Xishang Shuanglang Inn Renovated from traditional Bai architecture, located by the water, retaining the blue tile and white wall style. All 14 rooms face Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, and you can fall asleep listening to the tide at night.

- At the recently concluded 10th Resort·1% Club Awards, Dali Moonlight Among Pines·Erhai stood out among thousands of global hotels, earning the prestigious "Must-Stay in a Lifetime | TOP50" title! This secluded retreat, framing Erhai Lake through its windows, redefines poetic lakeside living with a design narrative centered on "water and light." 🌅 A "Fluid Art Gallery" That Brings Erhai Lake into Your Room Nestled in Shuanglang Ancient Town, renowned as the "First Scenic Town of Cangshan and Erhai," Moonlight Among Pines·Erhai offers direct waterfront access with views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Its exclusive, closed-door operation creates a rare haven of tranquility. With 12 waterfront rooms, guests wake to the glimmering sunrise over Erhai and retire under a starry sky mirrored on the water. Even the bathtub in the bathroom resembles a boat gently moored on the lake. The public spaces, with their unique architectural design, have earned the hotel its reputation as the "ultimate Erhai photo spot," cherished by countless influencers. 🏆 Behind the Award: A "Symbiotic Aesthetic" That Revitalizes Erhai Lake The TOP50 recognition honors not only the hotel’s stunning views and design but also its commitment to sustainable tourism. From using local stone materials and employing nearby villagers to initiating the "Erhai Beach Cleanup Program," Moonlight Among Pines·Erhai demonstrates that great resorts should bridge nature and culture. As their motto goes: "It shows the world that Erhai’s beauty lies not just in its scenery but in the wisdom of human-land symbiosis."

After all, a place that slows time is truly "must-stay" worthy. 🏡 Hotel | Moonlight Among Pines·Erhai, Dali 📍 Address | Dajianpang Village, Shuanglang Town, Dali, Yunnan Province

## Moonlight Through Pines: A Heterotopia by Erhai Lake I've always believed hotels to be merely temporary shelters during travels—just a bed for the night. Yet Moonlight Through Pines · Erhai Hotel in Dali, with its almost stubbornly unconventional approach, completely overturned my shallow assumption. When I first arrived, dusk was falling. The hotel is hidden in Wase Town on Erhai Lake's eastern shore, far from the ancient city's bustle. Its Bai-style residential facade was so understated that I might have missed the inconspicuous entrance had my navigation not insisted. Pushing the door open, I suddenly stepped into another dimension—a soaring lobby in muted grays and whites with minimalist lines, where floor-to-ceiling windows framed Erhai Lake shimmering in twilight. The reception desk wasn't called a reception desk but "Moonlight Terrace"; the staff weren't staff but "Pine Grove Attendants." Such naming already revealed this place's refusal to conform. The room names were equally peculiar—mine was called "Sea Mirror." Upon entering, floor-to-ceiling windows framed Erhai Lake as a living painting, its glittering waves lapping right up to the bed. All furniture was custom-made, blending rustic wood tones with cool metallic accents. The most magical feature was the balcony—barely two square meters yet daringly cantilevered over the lake. Sitting on this tiny perch watching clouds roll by, I felt the illusion of "floating freely through vast emptiness." Waking at midnight, I found moonlight pouring into the room—truly "moonlight shining through pines." Barefoot on cool floors, I opened the glass door to the balcony. Erhai Lake had transformed into a silver foil under the moon, dotted with distant fishing lights, blurring the line between reality and dream. The balcony's precarious design felt perpetually on the verge of plunging into the lake, yet it firmly cradled my reverie. The designer, I thought, must understand the allure of "dangerous temptation." At breakfast, I discovered there was no fixed menu. The attendant—ah, "Pine Grove Attendant"—gently inquired about preferences and soon presented a bowl of Yunnan wild mushroom congee with freshly baked flower cakes. All ingredients were locally sourced yet crafted into extraordinary flavors. A book titled "Ancient Dali Culinary Studies" in the dining area revealed the flower cakes' recipe evolved from Nanzhao Kingdom's royal desserts. Exploring the hotel by day, I found thoughtful details everywhere. The tearoom, set at a corner requiring one to stoop, embodied "only by bowing can one taste tea's truth"; the library held no bestsellers but only Yunnan local chronicles and Bai culture studies; even the spa's aromas used only herbs from Cangshan Mountain. Most extraordinary was the basement "Erhai Gallery"—a submerged glass wall where swimming fish cast dancing light, creating an underwater crystal palace. At night, the hotel grew even more unconventional. Instead of a bar, there was the rooftop "Star Plucking Platform," serving only Yunnan ancient tree tea and house-made plum wine. The butler—called "Moonlight Steward"—would narrate Bai folkloric stories about visible constellations. That night happened to be the lunar 16th, the moon astonishingly large, its reflection doubling in Erhai Lake. The steward suddenly produced a xiao flute, playing Bai melodies that melted into moonlight, inexplicably bringing tears. While tourists flocked to Shuanglang and Xizhou, here remained profoundly quiet. The hotel deliberately provided no TVs and spotty WiFi—initially frustrating but gradually revealing its virtue. Modern people are too accustomed to information feeds; occasional fasting sharpens the senses. In my "Sea Mirror" room, I finished a long-neglected book, wrote several diary pages, even painted a clumsy watercolor—my last attempt at painting likely twenty years prior. On departure morning, mist rose over Erhai Lake. The hotel flickered in and out like a mirage. Suddenly I understood the designer's intent: the architecture itself was a vast blank space for guests' imaginations. It pleases not all but awaits travelers who resonate with it. Looking back at the mist-veiled building, I recalled Borges: "I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." For me, perhaps Paradise is just this—by Erhai Lake, between pines and moon, a heterotopia where time stands still.
