Wamao Inn, Dali - the best quaint little Inn to stay in Dali and Staying at a Lakefront Hotel in Yunana, China

We stayed in the best hotel ever on our trip in China! We would have loved to stay at Wamao for our entire time in Dali. Wamao, a quaint little privately run hotel in Dali, also the best run place by the most hardworking and welcoming innkeeper couple. Giving us a very warm welcome from the onset to helping us find aonther hotel, to helping to celebrate my husband's birthday with a delicious birthday cake with birthday hats and plates and cutlery and finally seeing us off with a beoautiful gift, the owner/ innkepper couple was always trying to providing us with services that would make our stay a very pleasant one. We absolutley love Wamao Inn in Dali, China! Of all the hotels and inns we have stayed, we have never had such personal and excellent services from any hotel owners or managers. We recommend Waomao highly to any visitors coming to Dali, China. Wamao is popular; becasue we didn't book our entire stay ahead of time, sadly, we had to leave after three days there.

Before checking out of Wamao, I even squeezed in sometime to share some words of wisdom with J. from Samuel, PLT! We were a little sad to leave this lovely inn. Leaving our luggage at the front desk, we headed out to local worshipping place for the 2pm service. These days young people are not thinking of spiritual things therefore, I was praying hard for J to join us for the service. We went to a local church which is about 120 year old. We actually went there yesterday to make sure that we could find it today. J. did go and sat through the whole service though he was a little distracted at times. Slowly and surely, I hope that J. will be drawn back to the almighty. After the service, we ate at a restaurant nearby.

We went back to Wamao hotel to retrieve our luggage and said good bye to Evan and his wife who gave us a couple of gifts, the coat rack and a can of Yunnan coffee. They were the best hosts we ever have had! From receiving us till we seeing us off, the owners of Waomao were there looking after us, thank you so much for your wonderful services! We took a cab to our next hotel by the lakeside. The traffic was painfully slow, crawling most of the way. It took more than an hour to get there. Then J. found out he didn’t book a room for tonite but he tried to correct this. The manager was good enough to connect us to another hotel nearby, owned by the same owner. We waited for a long time to have this sorted through and we were chauffeured to another hotel. J. went back to the old town to meet his new acquaintances.

It was dark and the alley leading to the other hotel was narrow and we were seated in a golf cart in order to be transported there. One of the ladies helping us had a flash light in her hand. Totally exhausted by 12a.m when we settled in this hotel with a queen size bed and a tatami but with a see though bathroom. What stupid design was that? It was raining and it was dark. I prayed for J’s safe return as he was there with other young people he just met. God listened to our prayers as J. returned safely about 1 or 2 am, not sure, praise God! RT, 08062023
