Set in the beating heart of Shuanglang Ancient Town, Xishang Shuanglang is a restored Bai fishing village inn where centuries of heritage meet sharp, considered design. Just 14 rooms — each with a private courtyard or terrace facing Erhai Lake — built around one bold idea: front yard, back sea. The village at your door. Total stillness the moment you step inside.
Highlights
- Bai Village Soul The hotel's predecessor was the historic "Fen Si" Inn, a traditional Bai architecture landmark in the heart of an ancient fishing village. The bones were kept. Everything else was elevated.
- Front Yard, Back Sea Designer Xie Ke used a central axis to move guests from the energy of Shuanglang Street to the serenity of Erhai Lake — a spatial sequence that turns arrival into an experience.
- Intimate by Design Just 14 rooms across two floors, each with a private courtyard or terrace and panoramic lake views. All rooms include a bathtub. Some have two separate courtyards framing the water from different angles.
- Eastern Minimalism White render, reclaimed timber, handmade tiles, and washed stone — unadorned and deliberate. The kind of simplicity that takes real effort to achieve.
- Gaagaa Kitchen The in-house restaurant serves a menu that bridges traditional Yunnan flavours with modern technique. Worth booking even if you're not staying.
