The Old Town of Lijiang Tinghuatang · 360-degree Gucheng View Resort Hotel (Big Waterwheel)

Staying at Tinghuatang Resort (Big Waterwheel Branch) was an absolute highlight of my trip to Lijiang. Perched in a quiet corner yet just steps from the heart of the Old Town, it offers one of the best panoramic views of the ancient city. The room was spacious and immaculate, with authentic Naxi cultural decor that truly captures the spirit of the region. I especially loved sitting on the tatami by the window, gazing out at the twinkling lights below—so peaceful and magical. The staff, especially Dongbo, went above and beyond: he helped with luggage, offered thoughtful local dining tips, and made me feel right at home. Waking up to birdsong and stepping onto the terrace to see the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance was pure serenity. Every detail felt intentional, from the ambiance to the service. If I ever return to Lijiang, this will be my first choice again. A perfect blend of comfort, culture, and breathtaking views.

Tinghuatang Garden Inn

Staying at Tinghuatang Garden Inn in Lijiang’s ancient town, tucked away on Xingwen Lane, felt like stepping into a dream. The moment I opened the wooden door, a wave of floral fragrance and warm hospitality washed over me—like being welcomed home by an old friend. Every corner of the courtyard is alive with blossoms, creating a serene, almost magical atmosphere. What touched me most was the simple gesture: a warm cup of tea handed by the host with a gentle, 'You must be tired—just rest for a while.' No formalities, just genuine kindness that instantly eased my travel fatigue. The rooftop is where magic truly happens. Climbing up feels like ascending into a painting—flower-filled vistas stretch below, while the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain stands in quiet grandeur beyond. Sunrise paints the peaks in soft blue hues, and at sunset, they glow like molten gold. At night, sitting beneath strings of twinkling lights on the terrace, watching the mountain silhouette emerge from the dark sky, it’s pure serenity. The only sounds are your heartbeat and the whisper of the breeze. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a story written in flowers, snow, and quiet moments. If you’re looking for peace, beauty, and soulful warmth, this is the perfect escape.

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.

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！」},{
