DenisStaying in the Jacuzzi Villa was an absolute delight! The Naxi-style courtyard was elegant and peaceful, and the private, temperature-controlled Jacuzzi was clean and comfortable. Soaking under the stars at night melted away all my travel fatigue. I must commend Elin, our butler, for her outstanding service. From coordinating before our arrival to her attentive care during our stay, she was always quick to respond to any needs. She was thoughtful and professional, never intrusive, which truly enhanced the relaxing vacation vibe. The facilities were excellent, and the service was an added bonus – a perfect Lijiang getaway! Highly recommended!

Returning to Dali from Jizu Mountain, I temporarily chose to stay at Jinsuo Island. I have been to Dali many times, and this is my first time on the island. This hotel is indeed the most satisfactory one. The room has an unbeatable sea view. You can see the sea and the sunrise while lying on the bed. The facilities are very smart and the hygiene is also very clean. Super cost-effective!
The breakfast in the sea view restaurant is also a little surprise.

MoguschinaWe stayed here for one niy, and it was absolutely incredible! They gave us the best room in the hotel, the views were simply breathtaking. This was hands down the best hotel of our entire trip, and we stayed at 10 different places across China!
The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully designed with huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mountains and the lake . The service was outstanding. The staff were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond providing free shuttle service to the Old Town. The breakfast and afternoon tea were 😋

Guest UserI don't usually write reviews, but this place totally deserves one! First off, hygiene: My friend, who's usually very prone to allergies from her surroundings, had absolutely no issues during our stay. You can definitely rest assured about the cleanliness.
Then there's the service – it's truly excellent. As soon as we walked in, the owner helped us with our luggage and brought us water. They thoughtfully explained all the services available, including helping us find reliable car rentals and offering food recommendations if needed. The lobby was well-stocked with essentials like mosquito repellent. Afternoon tea is complimentary and they announce it in the group chat; if they see you sitting around, they'll proactively ask if you'd like a drink (again, free!). In the evening, they even offer sweet vinegar drinks – it's an acquired taste, but I quite liked it. If you have any questions, just message in the group and the housekeeper will be there to help very quickly. I'm a late riser, and one day when I missed breakfast, they even messaged to ask if I wanted them to save it for me. The experience was truly wonderful.
The environment is also fantastic – a very quiet courtyard. You can see the sea right from the entrance, and you can enjoy breakfast outside while looking at the ocean. There's also a private courtyard inside, and a phantom-like little cat (it doesn't actively cuddle, but if you call it, it's the best cat ever and will come right over!).

Took my mom out for a trip and saw Aling's live stream on Douyin. She came across as very practical, genuine, and unpretentious, so we decided to stay for a few days. Overall, it was a really good experience. As soon as you enter the courtyard, there's a water feature with koi fish, which gives a vibrant and lively feel. The two young men working there were incredibly attentive and patient in answering our questions, and their demeanor was very refined. We also had the good fortune to meet a compatible travel couple, Sister Liu and her husband, at Aling's place. It felt like such a serendipitous encounter for people from the north and south to meet here. In the evening, we gathered in Aling's courtyard to chat, drink tea, and share our travel experiences. It was truly delightful. Thank you, Aling, for bringing us all together!

Gorgeous guesthouse with a fantastic location within the old town. The staff look after you very well and are very knowledgeable with recommendations within the area. They even provided complimentary takeaway breakfast when we were going to be leaving too early for the hotel breakfast.
Furthermore, the staff even helped locate my a lost item of mine from another town and organised a driver to collect it and drop it off for me.
The rooms were exactly as advertised and the view of the mountains were incredible. If I am ever back in Lijiang I will stay here again

Yulia_GrA 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!

If you're visiting Lijiang's Shuhe Ancient Town, you absolutely cannot miss the amazing Guanxin Inn! The environment here is beautiful, with lush greenery in the courtyard and fresh air that instantly helps you relax. The bedding in the rooms is exceptionally comfortable – a good night's sleep here will leave you feeling completely refreshed! The service is incredibly thoughtful and attentive; no matter what you need, they'll help you out, making you feel as warm and welcome as if you were at home. Step outside the inn and you can immediately experience the ancient town's unique charm and leisurely pace of life, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation and capturing some great photos! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and immersive experience of Lijiang's culture!

Guest UserWe love it here, it was our highlight in Lijiang Ancient Town, the hosts were all friendly, the rooms were as advertised, free airport pickup, complimentary tea and fruits, cleanliness was spotless, spacious and advanced. Had a small cute rooftop for the view. The hosts however were our highlight, we felt genuinely cared for, they ensured our safety and comfort. Every time we are clueless they never fail to give their best to help us, ensure we have a good time, provided all relevant information, gave tips so we don’t get scammed by extreme high prices. At the end of the journey we felt like we made friends along the way, would definitely recommend and come again. Big thanks to Ah Azhong for being our host, we were grateful for your service.
The place is located near the north gate but there is a closer exit/shortcut about 10 - 15 mins that is more accessible towards the didi areas in comparison to the main location entrances in the map.
