Bujian Shan · Muwa Hideaway T² Hide Bai Healing Courtyard (Dali Renmin Rd Branch)

My first impression: the hotel entrance is at the back of an alleyway, so I doubted it was the right place. However, upon entry to the main compound, it has well-maintained garden of flowers and a fountain. I had a night stay at this hotel. The room is comfy and spacious, albeit the entire place is not that massive — you can only imagine there were at most 6-10 family rooms in a double storey. It has sufficient amenities provided, fairly clean room and bathroom. The bathroom’s divider with the bed area is made of frosted glass, so it might concern some privacy if you’re staying with others within the same room. The room’s floor is made up of woods, thus it might get a bit noisy with its creaking sound. However, they’re aware of the circumstances, earplugs are provided. This hotel’s location is isolated from the ever-busy Dali town, retaining its serendipity. Yet, to go to the famous philosopher stone’s streets is only around 500m. The exceptional hospitality of its people is beyond me! The female cleaner, who knows a chunk of English words, was tenderly caring by providing me bottled waters and fruits each time I’m out of the room. She lifted my backpacks to luggage storage downstairs, and even extra bottled water. The receptionist guy, unassumingly on his first day of work during my time of checking in, is also accommodating, helping me to carry my things upstairs and sort out my room carefully. On my last day, I was rushed to go the train station and he helped to communicate with the DiDi driver about my circumstance since I couldn’t speak fluent Chinese. I’ll come back here again if I’m in China another time!

整個院落與房間處處透露主人的精巧構思。可以撐開的窗户支架，小時候用過的舊式栓鎖，潔白的紗帳，綿軟舒適的床上用品，以及洗漱更換器物，無一不令遊客有賓至如歸之感。還有雲南當地好吃的水果，在家裡許久沒吃過有咔嚓咔嚓聲響的蘋果了。哈哈！我好饞！
