Situated a 10-minute walk from the South Gate of Dali Ancient Town, Z.Garden offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Dali Zhangjia Garden is 1 km from the homestay, while Dali University is 1.6 km away. The nearest airport is Dali Airport, 16 km from the property. We absolutely loved our stay here. In the old town but very quiet at night and out of the hustle and bustle. The guy at the front desk was beyond helpful with recommendations on where to eat and a map for the cable cars at the mountain. There was free laundry services at the hotel. Breakfast was also great. We had a table and two chairs outside our room which was lovely. The room itself was huge and had a couch area which was nice. We loved it here and would highly recommend.

Dali Yunxi Boutique Inn features accommodation situated 700 metres from the centre of Dali and provides a garden and a bar. The property has mountain and quiet street views, and is a few steps from Erhai Gate. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. An amazing place to stay - it's like a BnB meets a boutique hotel. Our room was so lovely, with a window seat looking out at the mountains. The rooftop view was even better! The owners are very nice and speak good English which is very helpful in China. We have been travelling around the world for almost 1 year now and this was one of our favourite accomodations ☺️

The guest house provides mountain views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. Hospitality was above and beyond. Warm welcome from the hosts, including adorable friendly Corgi dog. Every dish we ordered at dinner was delicious! Pancake for breakfast was yummy and comforting. Sandwiches packed to go on the day of our hike were just what we needed. Clean room, warm at night. Comfortable beds. Balcony off every room with an outstanding view of the mountains. Washing machine on site. Steps from the start of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Trail. If your doing the trail, be sure to get an excellent coffee near the sky ladder-it happens to be run by the host’s son and is delicious!

Boasting mountain views, Timeless Inn offers accommodation with a garden, a bar and a shared lounge, around 500 metres from Guishan Park. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also welcomes guests with a traditional restaurant and a sun terrace. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, luggage storage space and currency exchange for guests. We had the most wonderful experience at Timeless Inn, and a huge part of it was thanks to the incredible hosts, Rose and her husband. From the moment we arrived, they treated us not just as guests, but like old friends. As it was our first time in Shangri-La, Rose’s tips and advice were incredibly helpful. She gave us detailed guidance on what to see and do around town, local restaurant recommendations, and even how to get to each place. Her insights really helped us make the most of our stay. She also helped us call for Didi rides and even woke up as early as 6am to accompany us outside and make sure everything went smoothly. Every morning, she prepared a delicious breakfast at our preferred time, always served with a smile and friendly conversation. She shared lovely stories about Shangri-La — what it was like in the old days versus now — which added so much depth to our experience. Her husband kindly picked us up from the airport and was equally warm and welcoming. He also offers transportation and guiding services to out of town attractions, which is a great option for anyone wanting a more convenient and insightful visit. On our last day, Rose recommended we go to Balagezhong instead of Shika Mountain — and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip! The inn itself has a cozy, homely feel. Rose even upgraded our room to the second floor with a beautiful view. Though the stairs are a bit steep, she insisted on helping us carry our large luggage. The location is excellent — right inside the Ancient Town, just steps from shops, restaurants, the Giant Prayer Wheel, and the central plaza where you can enjoy Tibetan dancing every evening. Being on the edge of the old town also made it super convenient for catching a Didi — only a 1–2 minute walk, so no need to haul luggage through narrow streets. We left Shangri-La with full hearts and unforgettable memories, thanks to Rose and her husband. If you're visiting Shangri-La, staying at Timeless Inn is a...
