Escape the Old Town of Lijiang! A Lakeside Hideaway on the Ancient Tea Horse Road with 9 Rooms
Still crammed in the Old Town of Lijiang? This "Chama Road Lashi Lake Lishi Mountain Residence" hidden on the Ancient Tea Horse Road is a secret escape for locals!
Location: Close to the City, Close to Wetlands and Snow Mountains
The hotel is next to Lashi Lake Wetland, and the lakeside boardwalk is right outside. Flocks of waterbirds and Siberian gulls play in front of you. It is only 8 km from the Old Town of Lijiang. A 20-minute drive allows you to experience two completely different atmospheres. You can spend the day by the lake and return to the Old Town at night to stroll through the night market, perfectly balancing nature and culture.
Design: Old Courtyard Reborn, Every Brick Tells the Story of the Ancient Road
Renovated from a century-old courtyard, the rammed earth walls, pear trees, and crabapple trees have been preserved in their original locations. The new Chinese architecture is embedded in it, making you feel like you have traveled back to the Ancient Tea Horse Road without losing the comfort of modernity. All 9 rooms have full lake views, and the floor-to-ceiling windows face Lashi Lake, allowing you to watch the snow-capped mountains and clouds from your bed.
What to do: Coffee, Bonfires, Full of Healing
-Coffee shop: Sit on the open terrace and drink freshly ground coffee, watch the clouds sweep across the lake, and an hour of daydreaming is not enough.
