“Very cozy and charming guesthouse”
The guesthouse is located near the old town and the 3 pagodas temple. The staff is very friendly and they gave us some tips regarding the local market. Our room was absolutely amazing with 2 big windows and mountain view. From the train station you can reach the guesthouse taking bus no 4.

In general the place is nice and the location very convenient as it is just 5 minutes walk from the West gate of Dali ancient town. It is easy to find as there are signs on the main road which I found a good idea. The room was ok, there were also some books we could read, a kettle, tea and every day they gave us bottles of water. The bathroom was equipped with everything you need. The only thing was that the room wasn't really cleaned. In general was quite nice.
