Four kilometres outside Xizhou ancient town in Dali, a fifteen-acre compound holds only thirteen rooms — and the whole household eats vegan.
The basics
Near Xizhou ancient town, Dali, Yunnan. Low density is its defining feature: fifteen acres, thirteen guest rooms, an academic design language, and few of the internet-famous elements that set out to court a broad audience. It is built for people whose taste is already aligned with it.
The food
The entire compound follows a vegan system. Breakfast is a composed vegan set, most of the produce coming from the house garden — guests mention the pumpkin juice most often, along with seasonal fruit and dessert.
Rooms and setting
Rooms in raw wood, earth-toned walls and warm yellow light, with a relaxed overall feel. Cats live on the grounds and peacocks wander through; the countryside and the blue hour are popular for photographs, and the fifteen acres are themselves the garden.
Service
Welcome fruit and dessert on arrival, with butler service. Xizhou ancient town is only a few minutes away by car, so an early breakfast in town and a look at the Bai courtyards are both easy.
In one sentence: for anyone who treats “staying somewhere quiet” as the whole point of a trip to Dali.
