The Second Power of Poetry · Poem ² | Designer of Endless Swimming Pool, Sea View Resort Homestay

I stayed at Poem² during my recent Yunnan trip, and it was one of the highlights of the journey. The room features a breathtaking, floor-to-ceiling view of Erhai Lake — calm waters, mountain views, and open skies right outside the window. It felt like waking up inside a painting. The space itself is beautifully designed — minimalist yet warm. It’s the perfect setting to unwind, sip tea, and just soak in the view. A special thanks to the friendly and helpful host, who kindly assisted us with late check-in and even helped carry our luggage up to the 4th floor. That extra effort really made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this stay for anyone visiting Dali — whether you’re looking for a quiet escape or a scenic base to explore the area. Would love to come back again! :)

They allowed the prev users to stay in the same room till 2pm. When I reached I needed to wait abit, gave up and decided to visit nearby attraction especially weather was good that day. Didn't wanna waste time waiting, got the housekeeper to bring it to room when ready. Room was quite like what is pictured but not ideal if one is stuck in room coz at 2 level there is no view really more of cars and hanging wires. No tv. Soundproofing is not strong either. No way to walk across to view the sea either - it's bushes with cars parked across the street. They provided like facial mask from Korea. The shower drainage was stuck and I thought is was flooded but housekeeper came and rectify quite quickly. Washing machine is good for light wash and clothes that dries up fast coz it doesn't' have dryer function. Travelling back from Dali Old Town side took me 80mins, coz of jam though it isn't even their peak season. Housekeeper tried to be helpful, which I appreciate. If you want seclusion/quiet maybe here is fine or if you drive/ride. Stay higher floors for view.

This Airbnb-like property is well placed on the east side of the Erhai(洱海), Dali. The room was clean and had a modern-artsy vibe. The design paid attention to every little detail and had everything you need to have a very relaxing stay. My room wasn't overlooking the Erhai, but there are many that do (refer to the pics). The view from the terrace is especially spectacular. You can see the surrounding hills that dot the other side of the lake. The staff was very well-mannered and helpful. One of them even gave me a free ride on his scooter to a nearby location. If you live here, you must visit Wenbi Cun(文笔村), 15 min taxi from the place.

Loved everything about this place, from the amazing view of the lake, cleanliness to the huge room space which was perfect. Also, great service from the handsome boss whom was extremely helpful with getting my parcels sorted and the miscellaneous requests. Would definitely come here again if I am back in Dali.

This homestay location is very convenient - located right beside Erhai River. The service staff at the homestay were extremely helpful and friendly too. They provided end-to-end service, including after check out.

I enjoyed the stay here even the hotel is quiet far from town. They are very helpful and guide us to go to the attractions place and help us to book didi. Quite near to santorini Park and Wenbi Village. The lady very helpful and friendly. I recommed the hotel ♥️
