🌟 A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Ancient Lijiang! 🌟
My stay at Boxin Yunshe·Academic Garden was nothing short of magical! Nestled in the enchanting lanes of Lijiang Ancient City, this hotel perfectly blends traditional Naxi architecture with modern comfort. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a refreshing cup of local tea—a lovely touch that set the tone for the entire visit.
The rooms are a serene oasis, tastefully decorated with wooden carvings, soft linen, and elegant touches that reflect the region’s cultural heritage. I loved waking up to the gentle sunlight streaming through the latticed windows and the soothing sounds of the courtyard fountain. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom amenities were top-notch.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its “Academic Garden” concept. The lush courtyard, filled with blooming flowers and ancient texts on display, feels like a peaceful retreat for the mind and soul. I spent hours reading in the cozy library nook or sipping Yunnan coffee on the rooftop terrace, which offers stunning views of the ancient tiled rooftops and distant mountains.
The staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable—whether it was recommending hidden local eateries, arranging a sunrise hike to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, or sharing stories about Naxi culture. Their hospitality felt genuine and heartfelt.
Location-wise, it’s unbeatable! You’re steps away from the bustling markets, quaint cafes, and the iconic Sifang Street, yet the hotel remains a quiet sanctuary away from the crowds. Don’t miss their breakfast spread, featuring local specialties like Lijiang baba (savory pancakes) and homemade yogurt—it’s the perfect way to start the day.
If you’re seeking a stay that combines culture, comfort, and tranquility, Boxin Yunshe·Academic Garden is an absolute must. I left feeling rejuvenated and already dream of returning!
