"The location within Shuhe Ancient Town is super convenient for exploring both Shuhe and Baisha Ancient Towns. Getting to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is also an easy taxi ride. However, the room environment was really subpar. The soundproofing was terrible, and the room door was heavy and noisy to open and close. Since there's no air conditioning, you have to open the window for ventilation, which just made the noise even worse. My room was near the shower area, and people were showering late into the night. Someone even blasted music loudly in the middle of the night, and no one seemed to care. It woke everyone up until one of the guests finally shouted for them to turn it off."

"At first I was a little skeptical because of the low price. This place was a nice surprise. The staff are lovely and attentive, and they have good English. They always offered me fruits, which is so cute. The pole holding the curtain over my bed fell apart, and they fixed it right away. The hostel is a little bit far away from the old town (about 10 minutes walk), but I actually liked the location. It's quiet, and surrounded by good cheap, restaurants. There is also a convinience store nearby. The facilities are pretty good. There is always hot water and the toilet is clean."

"Cute hostel on a hillside, close to the old town. Met some cool people here, friendly owner. Small complaint would be that the ensuite bathroom doesn't have a door, only a curtain. Another small complaint is that I got some weird message from people in the hostels wechat groupchat. My main complaint is that there is absolutely no way of heating the very poorly insulated rooms meaning you might as well sleep outside temperature-wise. As the nights in Lijiang can get quite cold, especially in January, I got a really bad cold, which is a very easy way to ruin part of your trip. This would be a great hostel in a tropical climate but definetly not up in the mountains"

"#Location & Transportation: Near Shuhe Ancient Town, extremely difficult to get a taxi (during the Spring Festival), so I had to give up and take an electric scooter. The alleyway was very dark at night, a bit scary. #Cleanliness: Exceptionally clean, from the large washbasin to the toilet, everything was very well maintained. #Service: That night… I got drunk… and drank three glasses! The owner's volunteer bartender was very talkative and enthusiastic!!! #Room Facilities: I really liked the decor, but the wooden structure made the soundproofing poor. It was a pity I arrived too late to take proper photos; I'll definitely go again next time!"

"This place is very good to stay. Convenient to reach to the ancient city in walking distance to the bus stops to travel Baisha ancient town or snow mountain or #105 to railway it is an ultimate place overall. Clean environment and very friendly and helpful staff members. Older building, but it is run well. In case you can't find the place through the address, I uploaded pictures of the entry to the hostel, both road and the gate. Enjoy your stay. I couldn't find the place when I stayed so the staff member met me on the way. It was so kind of them. Unfortunately, the address is not absolute when you follow the navigation, and trip.com doesn't have the clarity. Such nice place and people. I can recommend it. Enjoy your stay! Good people, good hostel."

The common areas were also lovely, with a very artistic decor. What I appreciated most was that both the rooms and public areas were smoke-free, with a designated smoking area on the balcony by the entrance. Plus, they don't allow pets like cats or dogs."

"I went out on a trip by myself and stayed in a youth hostel for two consecutive days. The lady boss was very welcoming. It was the cleanest and most comfortable youth hostel I have ever stayed in. Every roommate I met was also very nice. I even spent half a day in Baisha Ancient Town with one of my roommates. Yunnan is really nice. Next time I come alone, I will stay here again, but I hope we come together, hahaha."

At the end of a busy day, travelers can unwind and relax in the hotel or go out and enjoy the city. This hotel is particularly popular with those traveling alone.

"The location isn't super obvious at night, but it's right by the road, making it very convenient for taxis. We arrived quite late, and the front desk staff even helped us with our luggage. The room itself is spacious, with two beds, a small table, and an electric blanket – definitely needed since it gets pretty chilly here, especially mornings and evenings. The window offers a view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! It can be a little noisy being so close to the road. On the 4th floor, there's an open-air terrace with a small bar, swings, and a washing machine, which is great for drying clothes. Overall, it's a good place and I recommend it. Just a heads up, it's about 700-800 meters from the ancient city, so the location is a bit further out."

The B&B is located in a villa complex. The main gate is a five-minute walk from the South Gate of Shuhe Ancient Town, and the location is accurate. You can park your car right in front of the B&B. There's also a back gate in the complex, and once you exit, the East Gate of Shuhe Ancient Town is just across the road. Service: The owner was incredibly warm and friendly, offering tips and advice for sightseeing, just like family. The auntie's mixed sauce rice noodles were delicious and everything was clean and hygienic. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Sister Bing. We couldn't book a room for another day, but Sister Bing was so nice to accommodate me and my friend. My friend and I went to bed late, so I hope we didn't disturb Sister Bing during our stay. Every time we came back, the owner would greet us and say ”I'm back”, which was like going home. I highly recommend it to friends in Lugu Lake, you won't be disappointed! There is also a very cute cat named Big Bear.

I've stayed in so many hostels, but this one in Lijiang Ancient Town is truly top-tier! The setting is absolutely enchanting. When you open the window, you're greeted by the ancient town's flagstone streets and a sea of flowers – the ambiance is just perfect. Sitting on the rooftop, you can see the snowy mountains and soak up the sun; all your worries just melt away.

Chepaest hostel but it did not disappoint. Bed and everything was clean. Pillow and comforter was provided as well. You can wash your clothes yourself with minimal charge and hang it there to dry. Around 10mins away to the old town (I0mins walk). They can arrange tour for your as well. Recommend!

The location is near to HuTuWo farm which is walkable 15 mins, it's about 40 mins +- if you take a taxi from LiJiang Ancient to BaiSha Ancient Town. We enjoy the famous local speciality - rose bun by ManTou Shiren and XiaoLongBao and GuanTangBao nearby. This hostel is located at BaiSha Ancient Town which have a perfect scenery view for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. But too bad there is bad weather when we arrive there so we couldnot have a clear view but we do enjoy the stay there. But outside the room is open living area with many trees and we found out small insect appear in our room that cause us very scary and could not sleep well but the PIC did come to help and take off the insect after non-stop several calls at 10.30pm 😬 The photos with animal is in HuTuWo which is walkable 15 mins from this hostel.

The room is clean and hygienic. It's my first time in a youth hostel. The atmosphere is great. The owners are very enthusiastic. There are shared dining activities at noon and in the evening. The taste is also very good. There are many people and it's lively. Many people come here to travel alone. They have a lot of fun here. If you come alone to travel, you can't go wrong staying at TravelJi Youth Hostel!

I went for it for the price, but still some lacking things surprised me. The bed was hard, the walls in the room were mostly dirty and stained from both human use and mosquito splatters. There was rarely someone available for inquiries and the outside toilet was a big downside, since it was quite cold, especially at night. Having a kitchen to use was definitely a plus and the rooftop areas were pretty nice, although messy. I was sad to see all the animal they have spend the whole day caged or chained 😔

Because I don't like the hustle and bustle of Dayan Ancient Town, I came to Shuhe. And I usually choose a youth hostel when I go out alone. The K2 I stayed in this time really exceeded my expectations and gave me a lot of surprises. A youth hostel that has been open for more than ten years, located in the center of Shuhe Ancient Town, has a large and beautiful courtyard. Sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea, basking in the sun and watching the clouds is already a happy feeling, and I don't want to go out at all😂😂😂 The main thing is that you can share lunch. The big sister who cooks is a full-time cook. The dishes are delicious. 20 yuan per person is very cost-effective. You can also learn to copy scriptures and make incense. It is very suitable for friends who want to meditate and cultivate themselves like me! There is a handsome cat named Dabao, who always likes to stick to the store manager Xiao Sun and ignores me🥺🥺 I didn't have enough time this time, but I have just left and I am already planning to stay for a few more days next time. In short, it is highly recommended! It is simply the utopia of Lijiang! Small tip: If you are picky about the room, please choose to stay carefully. After all, it has been open for many years and some infrastructure may be a bit old, but it can be used normally!
