The luxury resort hotel

SOOOAN Lijiang, a hidden luxury resort, is nestled halfway up Wenbi Mountain, offering breathtaking views of both Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Wenbi Lake. The hotel blends traditional Naxi architecture from Wenbi Village with minimalist, vintage-inspired design. My room featured massive floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing me to witness the golden glow of the sunrise on the snow-capped mountains right from my bed. My favorite part was in the evening when the Jellyfish Bar lit up. Sitting at the bar, enjoying a drink, and gazing out over the entire Lijiang area was simply magical. The rooftop infinity pool reflects the snow-capped mountains, and the afternoon tea at the Cow Shed Cafe offers panoramic views of the lake and mountains. Guests can also experience tie-dye handicraft, a non-heritage craft, and take their creations home as souvenirs. The clear broth wontons with fresh meat for breakfast were incredibly comforting and a rare treat that satisfied my Cantonese palate in Yunnan. Ji Jian Xiang Wang offers a hidden luxury escape in Lijiang, with Wenbi Lake as its mirror and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as its backdrop.

Whether it's after a rain shower or under a clear sky, Xiangwang always delivers a pleasant surprise. The service is warm, the amenities are of good quality, and the food is excellent in color, aroma, and taste. The infinity pool restaurant offers a fantastic view, and the Cow Shed Cafe gives you that 'facing the sea, spring blossoms' feeling. It's truly an ideal vacation spot!

The hotel boasts an elegant environment and exceptional service, making for an excellent stay! The breakfast spread is extensive, with a wide variety of Chinese and Western options to suit all tastes. Special thanks to the buggy drivers and the valets for their great help! 👍

I chose this resort hotel for my trip to Lijiang this time, and the overall stay experience exceeded my expectations! The resort vibe is perfectly executed. The infinity pool directly faces Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. During leisure time, sitting by the pool, looking at the distant snow-capped mountains, completely relaxes you, and it's great for photos too. The breakfast selection is very rich, with both Chinese and Western options, and the taste is excellent – a very comfortable dining experience. A pleasant surprise was the hotel's arrangement of many unique experiences. You can participate in intangible cultural heritage handicraft activities like 'Wamao' (tile cat) making and plant rubbings, as well as planting and harvesting, and interacting with small animals. It's not just about staying at the hotel; you can immerse yourself in the local culture, and the afternoon tea and coffee on the mountaintop are so relaxing and perfect for photos! The atmosphere is fantastic. The service details are also very thoughtful, suitable for both couples and families with children. It's a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the ancient town.

Tired of the crowds, I chose to stay at Wenbi Mountain this time. The biggest surprise was the view; I didn't have to wake up early to rush to a viewing platform to take in the snow-capped mountains, Wenbi Lake, and a distant panorama of the ancient town. The hotel offers plenty to do. The infinity pool during blue hour is perfect for photos, and the cowshed cafe is ideal for relaxing and enjoying afternoon tea. In your free time, you can try tie-dye or plant eco-printing workshops, and when you're tired, there's always the spa. The service was very well-balanced; they responded promptly to requests, and many small details showed their attentiveness. Breakfast hours are quite flexible, so you don't have to worry about missing it even if you sleep in. Leisurely gazing at the mountains and lake from the hotel, just relaxing and unwinding – this place perfectly delivers that desired vacation serenity.

My stay at the SOOOAN Hidden Luxury Resort in Lijiang was a truly 'hidden luxury' experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by its architectural aesthetics, seamlessly blending with nature. The infinity pool mirrored the distant mountains and mist like a looking glass, with the prominent 'JIAN' logo by the poolside not only serving as a visual focal point but also symbolizing the hotel's philosophy of 'seeing mountains, seeing water, and seeing oneself.' The majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, partially hidden by the clouds, seemed to reserve a private viewing spot for every guest. The hotel's 'COWSHED COFFEE' cafe, with its rustic wooden structure and rattan rocking chairs, creates a back-to-nature ambiance. Sitting in a rocking chair, gazing at the lush green mountains and Bai ethnic village, time seemed to stretch, allowing me to completely shed urban anxieties. Even more delightful was the traditional indigo tie-dye workshop offered by the hotel. From the hanging blue-dyed fabrics to the tools on the workbench, every detail conveyed respect for and preservation of intangible cultural heritage. The room key card sleeve, inscribed with 'Single Person Traditional Tie-Dye,' indicated that this experience was a meticulously designed signature service, allowing guests to take home a unique travel memory created by their own hands. At night, the rooftop bar, with its sleek counter, colorful bottles, and dreamy chandeliers, provided a romantic space for guests to overlook the city's night view and enjoy a tipsy moment. Whether you want to lie back and gaze at the snow-capped mountains, savor coffee, or create your own tie-dye masterpiece, this place fulfills all your fantasies of a 'hidden luxury' getaway. I will definitely be back.

Overall experience: This is the best luxury hotel in Lijiang, located near the Romantic Show scenic area, and definitely worth every penny. Both the hardware facilities and the service level are excellent. You could easily spend days just relaxing here. Waking up to blue skies and white clouds right within reach is incredibly therapeutic. The hotel's Cow Shed Cafe, infinity pool, and art gallery all offer wonderful opportunities to create lasting memories.

The room was very clean and well-designed, which I appreciated. The hotel's restaurant upstairs and the afternoon tea spot both offer beautiful views. What really stood out was how comfortable and warm all the staff made me feel at every touchpoint, from room service to the front desk, the restaurant, and even the concierge group chat. My stay here was very comfortable and relaxing. Plus, the food at the hotel restaurant was delicious! Loved it!

Came here with my bestie, and it's absolutely stunning! The Niu Peng cafe faces the snowy mountains directly – you can just chill with a coffee all afternoon. The rooftop infinity pool with the snow-capped peaks is incredibly picturesque. Plus, there's a flower garden swing in the courtyard, making every snapshot a healing masterpiece!
