This homestay in Xizhou offers a breathtaking view of rice fields that will make your heart flutter!

Tucked away in Xizhou's Sha Village, the moment you step in, you're surrounded by lush green rice fields! Open the balcony door, and you'll see the waves of rice swaying with the wind, accompanied by the sounds of insects and birds—all while lying in bed, watching sunlight dance on the rice ears. In winter, the lobby is decked out in Christmas vibes, with wabi-sabi decor featuring raw wood and linen, making every photo look like a filtered cinematic masterpiece! The butler is incredibly thoughtful! He contacts you in advance to help with luggage (no elevator, but it's hassle-free) and prepares afternoon tea and bedtime desserts. The turndown service includes heart-shaped pillow arrangements, neatly placed slippers, and even Acqua di Parma toiletries! At night, when you're gathered around the fire brewing wine, the butler brings warm roasted sweet potatoes—this isn’t just a hotel stay; it’s like coming home to grandma’s! Breakfast deserves a shoutout! Rice noodles, multigrain porridge, freshly squeezed soy milk, and fresh fruits—each dish feels homemade, warming you up for the day. The rice field fish in the restaurant is divine—so tender it melts in your mouth, paired with local tamarind juice, instantly transporting you back to childhood summers. For afternoon tea, sip coffee in the common area while watching sunlight flow over the rice fields—you could daydream here for hours without getting bored! The rooms feature a simple rustic style with wooden furniture and linen bedding, instantly putting you at ease. The mattress is just the right firmness, and the Acqua di Parma toiletries are so fragrant you’ll want to take them home! The highlight is the scenic balcony—grab a wicker chair, sit back, and let the breeze carry the scent of straw. You won’t even need a book; just listening to the insects is enough to lose yourself for an afternoon. For relaxation, head to the SPA center—the therapists’ techniques are so soothing, you’ll feel light as a feather afterward! 💡Tips: • No elevator, but the butler is super helpful—feel free to leave bulky luggage to them. • Wear light-colored dresses for stunning rice field photos; straw hats/canvas bags are must-have props. • Xizhou Ancient Town is just a 10-minute walk away—perfect for exploring and snacking on crispy layered pancakes! I’ve already made a list for my next visit—bring a book, wear a dress, and stay for three whole days! 📍Dali Xizhou · Daoyin Hotel Address: No. 99, 15th She, Chengbei Village, Sha Village Committee, Xizhou Town, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture
