Hotel near New City Area,Lijiang
The couple who runs the establishment brings with them the unique cultural heritage of the northwest region of Yunnan Province. The male owner is a Konba man from Shangri-La, while the female owner is a native Naxi person. They have spent years working in the mountains, herding sheep, and mining.The guesthouse is located in the core area of Huama Street and Longhuatan, and it is just a 10-minute walk from the North Gate of the Lijiang Ancient City to the big waterwheel. It enjoys a convenient location in the ancient city. The courtyard is designed with a distinctive "one mountain, one tree, one large white" aerial viewing courtyard, offering a wide and soothing view, making it a unique aesthetic spot for photo-taking. All the rooms in the house are well-equipped and follow a high-standard, meticulous hygiene management. The entire house is equipped with an intelligent guest control system. The comfort level during stay is comparable to that of a hotel. The exclusive viewing area on the top floor has an unobstructed view. It caters to both comfortable accommodation and the local cultural atmosphere.

"The staff here are incredibly welcoming and personable! We stayed for three days and two nights, and on our second day, we met some friends from the US. We all chatted together about how enthusiastic the guesthouse staff were, and how amazing the breakfast and afternoon tea spreads were! You can see the snow-capped mountains from both the rooms and the common areas! It's hard to believe this price includes so much – excellent value for money! I can totally understand why so many foreigners choose to stay here! During our three-day stay, we met people from Thailand, the US, and Russia. Usually, guesthouses don't include lunch or dinner, but during one of our afternoon tea sessions, we asked the staff, and they mentioned that if we needed it, we could just let them know in advance. It's a shame it rained during our visit; otherwise, the scenery would have been even more stunning! Due to the weather, we also asked the staff for advice on some of our activities. When we ran into issues buying tickets for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, they proactively offered to help us sort it out. If you're a social butterfly, this place is highly recommended! You can strike up conversations during afternoon tea. At first, the staff seemed a bit reserved, and honestly, so were we, haha. From their perspective, they probably weren't sure if guests wanted to chat. So, if you're looking to connect, feel free to be a bit more proactive – we certainly got to know them better over afternoon tea!"

The Mulanyu Tangsu Hotel provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. Visitors to Lijiang will find that the Mulanyu Tangsu Hotel is a fantastic accommodation choice. The hotel is only 11km from Lijiang Railway Station and 30km from Lijiang Sanyi International Airport, giving guests a number of convenient transportation options. With Qiyi Street, Sanyan Well, Lijiang and Lijiang Ancient Town - South Gate Square all within a short distance, there is no shortage of things to do in the area. At the end of a busy day, travelers can unwind and relax in the hotel or go out and enjoy the city. This Lijiang hotel offers parking on site. If you demand a high level of service, our guests have indicated that this hotel has excellent standards. This hotel is a popular accommodation for groups of friends traveling together.

"Really great stay at Mulanyu Tangsu Hotel! 🤍 The room was beautiful and had a traditional tatami-style bed with heating, which made it incredibly comfortable, especially during the cooler evenings. The room was also clean and the amenities were complete. The receptionist was another highlight. He was really helpful and immediately sent us recommendations for places to visit via WeChat, complete with map locations. He also helped arrange our transfer from the train station to the hotel, which made arriving much easier. One thing to keep in mind is the location. The hotel is situated on top of a hill, so while it is accessible by car, walking around without transportation means dealing with quite a lot of stairs. Your legs will definitely know you stayed in Lijiang 😂 The hotel is around a 15-minute walk from the Big Water Wheel in Lijiang Ancient Town, although the walk involves stairs. There’s also a convenience store nearby, which is handy. Overall, a lovely and comfortable stay with great hospitality. I’d definitely recommend it if you don’t mind the stairs!"

We hope you can have a perfect holiday here.

"A Wonderful Stay at Songzhuju Hotel! We stayed at the Songzhuju Hotel for 6 nights and were thoroughly delighted with both the accommodation and the city of Lijiang. Even before our arrival, we felt the genuine care from the staff. Ah Fei contacted us in advance and arranged a transfer from the railway station the day before check-in. Upon arrival, he welcomed us with a traditional tea ceremony and treats, gave us a helpful overview of the hotel, and shared useful information about the city via WeChat. Ah Fei was always available and ready to assist with any questions. In fact, the entire hotel staff was incredibly pleasant and friendly. The hotel itself is excellent. We loved its location within the Ancient City, not far from the North Gate. This made it easy and quick to walk out to the main road to catch a taxi (since vehicles are not allowed inside the Ancient City), while still being immersed in the old town atmosphere. Importantly, it wasn’t in the busiest tourist hub—there were no crowds right next to the hotel, and it was quiet in the evenings and at night. Our room was a two-level family room, very cozy, clean, with comfortable mattresses and pillows, crisp white linens, and daily housekeeping. We also liked the breakfast—a traditional Chinese set menu (not a buffet)—which was delicious and authentic. I’d also like to share some thoughts on Lijiang itself. Initially, we planned to spend only 4 days here, but due to issues with our hotel in Dali, we left it earlier and extended our stay in Lijiang—and we were so glad we did it! Lijiang is absolutely charming. Even 6 days weren’t enough to fully explore it. Beyond the obvious pleasure of wandering through the Ancient City, I highly recommend: - Trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - Visit Tinghua Valley Lijiang Flowers—an incredibly beautiful botanical garden with fairy-tale views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - Visit Shuhe Ancient Town - Climbing up to Wangu Tower on Lion Hill in the Ancient City for sunset views. We explored all these places independently, booking DiDi rides and purchasing entrance tickets via Trip.com. However, if needed, Ah Fei can help organizing any tours. Also, if you’re not planning to continue toward Shangri-La, I strongly recommend taking a day trip from Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge. The best option is the trek from Halfway Guesthouse to Tina’s Guesthouse (or Teacher Zhang’s Guesthouse). This hike was probably the most memorable highlight of my entire month-long trip to China—the views are simply breathtaking. In summary, we absolutely enjoyed both: the region and the hotel, where we were able to have very comfortable rest after busy days filled with excursions and long walks. Huge thanks to the entire staff!"

Hotel near Shuhe Old Town,Lijiang
"This was truly one of the best 民宿 experiences I have ever had. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Two gentlemen welcomed us warmly with smiles and immediately helped us carry our luggage, which included two large suitcases and two small suitcases, all the way up to Level 3. We were also given a complimentary room upgrade because a larger room was available, which was such a thoughtful gesture. After checking in, they patiently guided us through the room facilities and made sure we knew how everything worked. On the first day of our stay, they also prepared a beautiful fruit platter and tea for us, which made us feel so welcomed and well taken care of. Their service hours are from 8am to midnight, but what impressed us most was how much they went beyond that. Whenever available, they also had a driver who could send us to the nearby Lijiang Old Town, making our trip even more convenient and worry-free. The level of care and help they provided is honestly beyond words. They made our entire stay comfortable, smooth, and stress-free. Together with the beautiful scenic views, their outstanding service made us fall in love with Lijiang even more and truly made us want to visit again. On our last day, we had to check out at 7am, which was outside their usual working hours. Even so, the owner personally stayed at the counter and set his own alarm just to help us carry our luggage down. He did not have to do this, but he still went out of his way to assist us. He also helped arrange transport to take us to Lijiang Train Station, which made our departure so easy and comfortable. The service at this hotel is genuinely excellent. I almost have no words to describe how grateful we are for such a wonderful stay. This is the first time I am putting so much effort into writing such a long review for a hotel, and that says a lot about how amazing the experience was. If you are visiting Lijiang, I highly, highly recommend this 民宿. The service, hospitality, comfort, and overall experience are truly top-notch. You have to experience it for yourself. ————————————————— 这是我住过体验最好的民宿之一,服务真的可以说是五星级,甚至远远超出了我们的期待。 从我们抵达的那一刻开始,就感受到他们满满的诚意。两位先生非常热情地微笑迎接我们,并主动帮我们把行李搬到三楼。我们一共有两个大行李箱和两个小行李箱,他们都非常细心地帮忙处理。因为当时刚好有更大的空房,他们还免费帮我们升级了房型,这一点真的让我们感到非常惊喜和感动。 办理入住后,他们也很耐心地带我们了解房间的设施,教我们如何使用房内的设备。入住的第一天,他们还贴心地准备了水果拼盘和茶,让我们一到达就有一种被好好招待、被照顾的感觉。 他们的营业时间是早上8点到晚上12点,但让我最感动的是,他们的服务完全不只是停留在营业时间内。如果司机有空,他们还会安排车辆送我们到附近的丽江古城,让我们的行程变得更加方便,也更加安心。 他们在整个住宿期间给予我们的帮助,真的很难用三言两语形容。无论是服务、态度,还是细节上的照顾,都让我们住得非常舒服、轻松、没有任何负担。再加上这里漂亮的风景和安静舒适的环境,真的让我们更加喜欢丽江,也让我们有了想再回来丽江的理由。 最后一天我们需要早上7点退房,而这个时间其实是在他们的正常营业时间之外。即使如此,老板还是特地留在自己的房间兼柜台,并且设了闹钟起床,只为了帮我们把行李搬下来。其实他完全可以不用这么做,但他还是非常主动、非常贴心地帮助我们。除此之外,他还帮我们安排了前往丽江火车站的交通,让我们整个退房和离开的过程都非常顺利。 这间民宿的服务真的非常优秀,优秀到我一时之间都不知道该用什么词来形容。说实话,这是我第一次这么认真、花这么多心思为一家住宿写这么长的评价,因为这一次的住宿体验真的值得被推荐。 如果你有机会来到丽江,我真的非常非常推荐这间民宿。无论是服务、环境、舒适度,还是整体住宿体验,都非常出色。这里不是只让你住一晚的地方,而是会让你记住丽江、想再次回来的地方。 真的很推荐,大家一定要亲自来体验。"

Hotel near Black Dragon Pond,Lijiang
In the pulse place of the Old Town of Lijiang, adjacent to the landmark water wheel and the babbling jade river, a resort secret place integrating Naxi culture, snow mountain spirituality and modern aesthetics - Lyon | Hexi · Happy Food and Drinks · Snow Mountain Sightseeing Resort Hotel is interpreting the true meaning of "Oriental Slow Life" in a leisurely manner. This is not only a place for rest during the journey, but also a poetic space for awakening the body and mind, and conversing with nature. **Mountains and waters serve as curtains, and ancient cities are neighbors** The hotel is located at the entrance of the north gate of the Old Town of Lijiang, and you can walk 5 minutes to the bustling fireworks in Sifang Street, but turn around and enjoy a quiet seclusion. Each guest room takes the Yulong Snow Mountain as the natural picture frame, and the panoramic french window will take a panoramic view of the majesty of Jinshan under the sun and the nimbleness of clouds on the snow top. Pushing open the window in the morning, the light mist envelops the blue tiled eaves of the ancient city; As night falls, the Milky Way echoes with the ancient city lights, weaving a romantic narrative unique to Lijiang. **Eating and drinking in moderation, the way to nourish the heart** The core of the "Hexi · Food and Drink Festival" brand runs through the hotel experience, with the concept of "eating according to the times, nourishing the body with food", creating a unique dining philosophy. The restaurant strictly selects plateau organic food materials, and combines Naxi traditional flavor with the wisdom of solar term health preservation: in summer, it launches matsutake Steamed chicken in casserole with wild mushrooms hot pot, in winter, it uses black pottery pot to simmer cured ribs warm soup, supplemented by flower tea and fruit wine brewed by local roses. The top-level observation tea room invites tea artists to perform the Pu'er tea ceremony, accompanied by the twilight of the snow capped mountains, allowing taste buds and visuals to enjoy a feast of scenery together. **Oriental Aesthetics, Craftsmanship Space** The hotel design is inspired by the Naxi residential style of "three squares and one screen wall", with wooden structures paired with Dongba text reliefs, and decorated with handmade tie dye and Dongba paper lamps in the corridors. The 14 guest rooms are named after the elegant charm of the Book of Songs, featuring custom-made tatami tea mats, natural stone bathtubs, and underfloor heating systems, infused with Eastern Zen in a minimalist Wabi Sabi style. There is a boundless bathing pool on the star terrace on the top floor, where you can enjoy the snow in winter and the stars in summer, enjoying the double gifts of the ancient city and snow mountain. **Cultural healing, immersive experience** The hotel delves deep into local culture and launches a series of customized activities: learn ancient pictographic writing from Dongba inheritors, participate in Naxi ethnic bonfire parties in the courtyard, or book a private guide to visit the hidden villages at the foot of the snow capped mountains. The butler team thoughtfully planned the "light hiking+wild luxury afternoon tea" route, taking guests through snow capped mountains and meadows to taste the natural wilderness in an uninhabited area. Lyon | Hexi · Food and Drink Festival · Snow Mountain Scenic Resort Hotel redefines the dimension of high-end vacation with the cultural thickness of a city and the natural spirituality of a mountain - it does not provide standardized services, only brews Lijiang memories worth cherishing.

"Great stay, good value for money. The location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk to Black Dragon Pool Park, and not too far from the Grand Water Wheel. You can enjoy a panoramic view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from the rooftop terrace, and the landscaping is very thoughtfully done. The owner is very communicative and genuine. Although breakfast options are limited, the kitchen auntie prepares everything with care; the rice noodles and steamed buns are particularly good. Highly recommended! 👍👍👍"
