Pullman Lijiang Resort & Spa

We originally booked two nights in a deluxe king room, but upon check-in, we were upgraded to a luxurious duplex two-bedroom standalone villa—completely unexpected and so delightful! The resort’s traditional Chinese architecture and serene atmosphere made us feel like we’d stepped into a peaceful retreat. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive—especially Rita, the on-duty manager, who gave us great recommendations for authentic restaurants in nearby Shuhe Ancient Town. Breakfast was a highlight: seated with panoramic views of the mountains, the buffet offered a wide variety of fresh options, including freshly made egg waffles that were absolutely delicious. Complimentary coffee or tea was available throughout the meal, and they even served a warm pear soup afterward—such a thoughtful touch. Shuttle service via electric cart made getting around the property super convenient. Every detail felt well thought out. This experience truly deserves a perfect score. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, charm, and genuine hospitality in Lijiang.

LijiangAncient City Kasion Hotel （ big waterwheel store）

Staying at Lijiang Kasion Hotel was an absolutely delightful experience. The location is perfect—just a 10-minute walk to the North Gate of Lijiang Ancient Town (Big Water Wheel) and only a few minutes more to Black Dragon Pool Park. We were pleasantly surprised when the front desk upgraded our room upon check-in, and they even provided a generous afternoon tea set—such a thoughtful touch. Staff were incredibly attentive and responsive to any request, making us feel truly welcomed. The room itself was well-designed with smart layout, full separation between wet and dry areas, and spotless cleanliness. The window seat with tatami-style seating was my favorite spot—perfect for sipping tea and relaxing after a long day exploring. Breakfast was a real highlight: a wide variety of both Chinese and Western options, all fresh and delicious. And before checkout, we received a small but meaningful souvenir gift—simple yet heartfelt. Everything about this stay felt personal, warm, and well thought out. If you're visiting Lijiang, this hotel is a must-try. Highly recommended!

Best Li Rezen Hotel (Lijiang Old Town Waterwheel)

Staying at this hotel was like stepping into a living postcard. The moment I walked into the expansive courtyard, I knew this was something special—sunlight streamed through the open sky, trees swayed gently, and the quiet hum of life in a traditional Liangjiang garden wrapped around me. The tea house tucked in the corner filled the air with subtle aroma, and as dusk fell, warm lights flickered across ancient brick walls and black-tiled roofs, creating an atmosphere so peaceful it felt almost magical. The room itself was a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort: smart bathroom features, wooden lattice screens for privacy, and a deep soaking tub that made every bath feel like a ritual. Tiny details—like handcrafted celadon vases and delicate Suzhou embroidery—showed real attention to aesthetic. Location-wise, it's unbeatable: just steps from the foothills of Xiangshan and overlooking Heilongtan Lake, with countless local eateries within walking distance. The front desk staff even offered thoughtful recommendations for authentic Lijiang cuisine. Waking up to birdsong, sipping tea under the shade of a tree, reading a book in the afternoon sun—it’s the kind of slow, mindful escape you don’t find in ordinary hotels. If you love traditional Chinese aesthetics and want a genuine cultural experience, this place is absolutely worth visiting.

Xianyunxi yuexueshan Garden Resort courtyard

This was my third visit to Lijiang, and once again I chose Xianyunxi Yuxueshan Garden Resort courtyard — and I couldn’t be happier. The wooden stilted houses have such a unique, authentic charm that instantly transports you into a peaceful mountain retreat. The rooms are cozy, well-appointed, and incredibly relaxing — just lying in bed, listening to the breeze and looking out at the snow-capped peaks, it feels like time slows down. The garden is beautifully designed with seasonal flowers and thoughtful landscaping, making every corner feel serene and inspiring. I didn’t do much during my stay — just lounging by the courtyard, sipping tea, and soaking in the views. It’s exactly the kind of escape I needed. The whole experience was so rejuvenating that I’m already planning my next trip. If you’re looking for a quiet, natural retreat with genuine comfort and stunning scenery, this place is perfect.

This hidden gem truly delivers on both location and views! Nestled right next to Shuhe Ancient Town, it’s super convenient whether you’re arriving by train or driving—free parking is a big plus, and getting to Yulong Snow Mountain is just a short drive away. I loved relaxing on my private balcony with a cold brew in hand, soaking up the sun during the afternoon. The room’s soundproofing is excellent—completely quiet and peaceful, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. At night, I’d just sit outside, enjoy the gentle breeze, and gaze at the stars—so calming and magical. Special thanks to front desk staff Kathy, who was incredibly helpful and warm throughout our stay. Her attention to detail made all the difference. This place offers such a unique blend of comfort, tranquility, and authenticity. A must-visit if you're in Lijiang.

Old Town of Lijiang · Kuanshang Hotel

呢間酒店真係我住過最讚的一家，絕對強烈推薦給所有計劃來麗江的朋友！位置超正，就喺麗江古城入面，出街、逛古鎮都好方便，唔使走遠路。最令我印象深刻係前台嘅小姐姐，態度好好，又親切又貼心，好似朋友一樣，住得好安心。我哋一大清早就要出發去玉龍雪山，酒店知道後竟然主動為我哋準備咗早餐同咖啡，仲細心幫我哋準備咗保暖用品，因為清晨真係凍死人！這種無微不至的服務，真係令人感動到想落淚。整體體驗完全唔用擔心，服務度滿分，5星評價實至名歸。如果再返麗江，我一定會再選呢間！順帶一提，佢哋家嘅食物真的超級好吃！雖然唔幸運試到早餐，但下午茶同宵夜都勁正，每一口都係滿足感，真心話：下次一定要留多啲時間嚟食晒！」},{

We accidentally booked this room and ended up having an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived at the front desk, the staff were incredibly welcoming and took time to explain all the amenities in the room—so thoughtful and professional. I even reached out to our personal concierge, who gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and nearby attractions. It made planning our trip so easy and enjoyable. There’s something about Lijiang that naturally slows down your pace—perfect for a relaxing, unhurried getaway. The highlight? On the day of our arrival, the hotel surprised us with a small cake and fresh fruit, just because they noticed we were traveling as a couple. That little gesture truly touched us. It’s clear this place goes above and beyond to make guests feel special. If I ever come back to Lijiang, there’s no doubt I’ll stay here again.

Banyan Tree Lijiang

Staying at Banyan Tree Lijiang was an absolutely wonderful experience. The service throughout the property was outstanding, especially our personal host Elina—always helpful, responsive, and genuinely attentive. We arrived earlier than check-in time, and thanks to the platform’s assistance, we were able to get into our room ahead of schedule, which made a big difference. As soon as we stepped into the room during winter, it was already warmly heated—such a pleasant surprise. The room itself was spotless, beautifully designed with local charm, and came fully equipped with high-quality amenities. The dining experience truly stood out—the food was exceptional. I highly recommend the spicy chicken, black tofu, and shredded cabbage; each dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The view of Jade Mountain bathed in sunlight is breathtaking, and the ducks and geese around the pond are adorable—perfect for photos. The tennis court is easily bookable, and rackets and balls are available for rent. One small note: the latte art at the café wasn’t quite ready by 10 a.m., but that’s a minor detail. Overall, this stay exceeded expectations—serene, luxurious, and thoughtfully designed. A perfect retreat in Lijiang, and definitely worth returning.
