AURA · Zhen Dian Lake-view Boutique Homestay is managed and operated by Kunming Zhen Dian Youmeng Boutique Homestay Management Co., Ltd. It is a signature creation by Yunman Travel Retreat on the southern shore of Dianchi Lake, in the hometown of Zheng He. The property is located in Taishi Village, Jinning District — a 600-year-old ancient village that earned its renown from a visit by the Ming-dynasty scholar Yang Shen.
Set along the wetland waterfront, the homestay commands a sweeping view of the vast blue expanse of Dianchi Lake. The interior design is defined by a natural wood aesthetic, with the designer preserving the warm, tactile quality of timber textures. Large floor-to-ceiling windows frame the lake scenery and draw it indoors, where light and shadows shift with the rippling water. Every piece of furniture and ornament has been carefully chosen — understated yet refined, simple yet rich in detail. All guest rooms are furnished with premium brand bedding and air-conditioning systems that meet high-quality hotel standards. The common areas feature a boutique coffee bar and a light-dining section offering organic ingredients native to Yunnan. Sip a cup of locally grown small-batch coffee, savor authentic Yunnan delicacies, and let your days drift by in the gentle fragrance of natural wood. The homestay also offers an open-air lounge and a grassy lawn — where the boundless waterfront meets the intimacy of a private courtyard, giving you both the open lake breeze and the tranquil embrace of gardens and greenery.
Rest by Dianchi, live facing the lake. AURA · Zhen Dian Lake-view Boutique Homestay invites you to step into "the Yunnan way of life" — and between the glimmering waters of Dianchi and the floral shadows of the courtyard, rediscover the ease and freedom you have long missed.
