Qingxin Courtyard Art Guesthouse

Two courtyards deep on Fukangli lane off Pingdeng Road, Qingxin Courtyard Art Guesthouse occupies a restored Bai-style compound in Dali's ancient walled city, where whitewashed walls and carved timber eaves face an inner garden rather than the street.

Rooms feature hardwood floors, electric blankets for cool Erhai plateau nights, and private bathrooms with bathtubs. A coffee house on site and outdoor dining terrace anchor the communal spaces; the tour desk organises bike tours, walking routes, and cultural classes focused on Bai minority craft traditions.

Pingdeng Road sits four blocks from the South Gate of Dali Old Town, with Er Hai lake reachable by a twenty-minute cycle on the flat lakeside path. Airport shuttle service connects to Dali Fengyi Airport, roughly 13km east.
