01
THE HOUSE

In Dajianpang Village, the lake is not a distant view. It is the edge of the house.

Designed by a noted local architect, Dream Island · Erhai sits at one of Shuanglang's clearest vantage points, close to the water and facing Cangshan. The two-storey house contains just seven rooms, alongside Dian Xin Yuan restaurant. Local stone, old trees and changing lake light give it the intimacy of a private home.

SEVEN ROOMS

NO REPEATED FLOOR PLAN

Each room is its own
way of meeting the lake.

Seven rooms, seven names

Wenyue, Zhihua, Yunyu, Liyu, Jingyue, Qiushui and Muxi — a small room collection rather than a repeated hotel floor plan.

Natural to the touch

A restrained palette of warm white and grey, cotton and linen, weathered furniture and local stone keeps the rooms grounded in Dali.

The lake, framed differently

From the 52 m² Muxi room to the 48 m² Jingyue room, windows and terraces turn Erhai into part of the interior.

03 · DIAN XIN YUAN

Dinner beside
the changing lake.

The restaurant combines local Yunnan produce with Western techniques rather than repeating a conventional Bai menu. Lemongrass grilled fish, black-truffle pizza and mint-scented fried ribs are among the kitchen's own signatures.

Stars, water and moonlight turn dinner into an experience of place.

04 · THE SHANJIAN NEIGHBOURHOOD

Coffee by the water.
Books on the old street.

Next to Dream Island, Shanjian Cafe brings the shoreline into the day; nearby, Shanjian Bookstore sits on Shuanglang's Minzu Wenhua Street between the old stage and Kuixing Pavilion. Together they extend the stay beyond the room into a small local world of food, art and unhurried time.
