Jade moon

Anchored on the shoreline of Shuanglang Town in Changyu Village, Jade Moon looks out across Erhai Lake toward the Cangshan range, a quiet fishing-village base away from Dali's old-town crowds and better suited to travelers wanting lake views than nightlife.

Rooms open onto private balconies with hot-tub soaking areas and sea-facing terraces; a sun deck and outdoor furniture extend the lake view further. A concierge and shuttle service handle onward trips into Dali City and Shuanglang's ceramic studios.

Soundproofing keeps rooms quiet despite the property's compact three-star scale.
