Lleone_sI started reading Da Bing's books in 2014 and longed for the life in the books. Finally, in 2024, I had the time and courage to come to Yunnan alone. I didn't plan to stay in Dali in the original itinerary. I wanted to stay for a month later. When I saw Da Bing's Youth Park, I decisively made a few days of itinerary. The service was very good in all aspects. It was worth the trip.

MM227153****It was a very pleasant stay. The atmosphere at CYC was fantastic, with separate work and activity areas where everyone could participate in various activities according to their interests. The community manager, Daoming, was also very attentive and professional, quickly resolving some initial accommodation issues. My stay was very comfortable for the next few days. We even had hot pot together and enjoyed music and singing – it was a wonderful time. There's also a garden nearby, which was less crowded and had a lovely environment. Overall, I highly recommend it! I'd love to come back again!

GGuest UserThe hotel is nearby one of the ancient city in Dali. Just a little bit at a side road from the big road through Dali.
In the street of the hotel are a lot of shops. Also restaurants. You can get (Chinese) breakfast in the morning and lunch and dinner in the evening. At the big road are also a lot of restaurants.
The hotel is modern, clean and the rooms are roomy enough. Of course, the big rooms will be more roomy.
Everything is clean, neat and working.
Just the wifi is a little bit unstable.
A really plus for this hotel are the beds. They are very comfortable with nice thick duvet and clean linens.
I stayed in this hotel in the low season. So the price for this hotel was really neat. But even in the high season, it will be worth every penny.

GGuest UserI was a little scared when I first got on the bus into the village, but after entering it exceeded my expectations! Being able to stay in a hotel with such facilities at this price next to the airport is really cost-effective.
It is a restaurant and accommodation integrated into one. Meals can be packed and sent upstairs to eat. I ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables, which were delicious.
The rooms are newly decorated, better than hotels in the city. TV, WiFi, air conditioning, bathroom all worked cleanly and in good condition. The shower is a piano-key four-speed shower, so comfortable! There was a little problem with the WiFi in the middle. They came to fix it right away after I called. It was much more efficient than other hotels 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's super close to the airport, about ten minutes drive, and you can take me to the airport at around five in the morning, thank you 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

AAnonymous UserAround 10min walk from railway station to the hotel. The host is lovely and she allows us for an early check in. The room size is quite small for 4 ppl but we stay here for 1 night so it’s acceptable with price and location. The location is perfect, few minute walk to bus station no.4 and you can just take this bus all the way to three pagoda, or Dali old town. From Dali old town, you can also take didi to the famous lake. Dali old town is very happening at night.

HHuhuyaThe beautiful things in Dali are not in the ancient city. I personally feel that Haidong is much more beautiful than Haixi, especially Santorini Utopia and Wenbi Village. However, the location of this store is still quite good, right in the Fenghuaxueyue Market. The boss's son recited Li Bai's poems, which he recited too late and the noise was also loud. The privacy of the room is not very good, just facing the main entrance of the inn, but the sanitation is still quite clean, and it is not a bunk bed but a single bed. The geographical location is still quite good, very close to those Renmin Streets and so on, very suitable for visiting the ancient city at night, but the prices in the ancient city are ridiculously high, you can only look and don't buy...

110wangeVshenmeAs a car owner from Jiangsu, I come to Dali for a period every year. I've been to all the popular spots; now I just come to Dali to stay, live, and relax. I've stayed at Chaoge and Lili, but I most frequently choose Taoxi.
Chaoge has the best accommodation environment among the three, no exaggeration. However, a lot of people drink there, mostly older guys like me, so if you enjoy drinking, Chaoge is a good choice. Lili has the best atmosphere; you can play board games and billiards, and parking is available on the hill. But Lili's only drawback is that it's too far from the old town, which makes dining inconvenient. So, I usually switch between Lili and Taoxi.
I've been on this trip for over two months now, and I've stayed at Taoxi for nearly 40 days. Taoxi is quiet, right by the old town, and has a great environment. I particularly like Taoxi's sunken public area. It's perfect for solo travelers. Plus, since the change of ownership, Taoxi's prices are now the lowest of the three. Previously, Chaoge, Taoxi, and Lili all cost around ¥65-68, but now Taoxi at ¥40 offers the best value for money.
So, for anyone looking for a hostel, consider Taoxi for both dining and accommodation. It's also incredibly convenient for eating out in the old town.

GGuest UserThe usual hostel is undergoing renovations at the moment, so the actual accommodation is around the corner. I was quite lost until I texted the 'late entrance' phone number by chance and the owners father found me.
There is no bar, pool table or restaurant currently accessible but I'm sure it will be great when it reopens.
The room was lovely but very cold with a big gap under the door and a hole the size of a postcard in the bathroom. I think a more updated profile to reflect current amenities would be beneficial.
