Dali Lakeside Cloud Retreat｜A Fairyland Loved by Celebrities

Who would've thought! After bumping into Angelababy on a flight, I discovered the filming location for her ethereal birthday photoshoot in Dali was actually the Shuanglang homestay I stayed at! Even Yi Mengling has visited—count me in for this celebrity-approved spot! ✨ 🌊 A Healing Garden Hidden in Shuanglang Stepping into this homestay feels like entering a fairytale. Daisies and lavender bloom wildly on the lawn, stone paths lead to Erhai Lake, and sunlight dances on the water like scattered diamonds. 💎 In winter, Siberian red-billed gulls visit—you can even interact with them up close. So therapeutic! 📸 Capture Celebrity-Worthy Shots ▪️ Baby’s angel-wing photoshoot was done right on the lawn—flowers as the backdrop, sunlight as the filter, every shot looks magical. ▪️ Don’t miss the seaside garden dining table. Enjoy afternoon tea while watching Erhai’s waves, or witness golden sunsets that take your breath away. ▪️ The white bench on the grassy slope is Yi Mengling’s go-to spot, with Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake framing the shot—like stepping into Alice in Wonderland. 🏡 Comfortable and Affordable Stays We booked a basic room for just ¥950/night—great value! While sea-view rooms cost ¥2000+, the stunning common areas are perfect for photos. The staff are incredibly thoughtful—when I had a sore throat, they drove me to buy medicine. Heartwarming details! ❤️ 🍰 British Afternoon Tea Vibes You don’t need to stay to visit! Their Western-style desserts are beautifully plated, and sipping tea in the seaside garden feels like a high-society gathering. Sunset light is perfect—wear a flowy dress for 100% photo success. 💯 Tips: Just a 10-minute walk from Shuanglang Ancient Town, with private parking for drivers. Visit in November to catch the red-billed gulls—perfect photo ops! Every day at Lakeside Cloud Retreat feels like living in a celebrity photoshoot. Next time, I’m bringing a fairy dress for my own ethereal shoot—after all, even stars can’t resist this place’s romance!
