I was truly surprised by how great this place turned out—excellent value for money, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. The room was spacious and quiet, with top-notch amenities that made everything feel luxurious. The view from the observation deck is absolutely stunning—finally, I got to witness the breathtaking sunrise on Jade Mountain, which was a dream come true. Even the restaurant offers panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks, making every meal feel special. The staff, especially our concierge Xiao Ming, went above and beyond—warm milk in the evening and pre-arranged tickets to nearby attractions were thoughtful touches that really made a difference. This isn’t just a stay; it’s a memorable retreat, and I’ll definitely be back.

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.

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.

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.

Hotel Indigo Lijiang Ancient Town

We stayed at Hotel Indigo Lijiang Ancient Town just two days before our trip to Lijiang, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Traveling with friends, we were all really happy with our choice. From the moment we walked through the entrance, the horse-themed design stood out—perfectly timed for the upcoming Year of the Horse, creating such a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The room itself was fantastic—modern touches blended beautifully with traditional elements, giving it that authentic yet stylish vibe. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the housekeeping team was prompt and thorough, keeping the space spotless throughout our stay. The hotel is laid out in separate buildings, which gives great privacy and makes you feel like you're in your own little retreat within the ancient town. Special shoutout to King Wang—the service staff member who went above and beyond. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and patient. He personally showed us around, helped us upgrade to a suite (which we appreciated so much!), and was always available whenever we needed anything. Any concerns were addressed immediately, making our stay stress-free and enjoyable. Even when we ordered food delivery, he ensured it arrived quickly and directly to our room. This level of attention to detail truly reflects the brand’s commitment to guest experience. Overall, the service, ambiance, and comfort were outstanding. We’ll definitely be back if we ever return to Lijiang—highly recommend this gem!

Songtsam Lijiang Linka

My first stay at Songtsam Lijiang Linka was the perfect way to wrap up our family trip to Dali and Lijiang. If the Grand Hyatt Lijiang feels grand and luxurious, then Songtsam Linka offers quiet elegance with real soul. From check-in to checkout, every detail felt thoughtfully curated. I loved being able to choose my own custom bedding—sleeping was pure comfort. The nightly milk served before bed? Perfectly warm and soothing. Dinner featured a delicious homemade bacon rib hotpot with incredibly fresh ingredients—the broth had such depth, it tasted like mountain air and tradition in a bowl. The whole atmosphere is serene, authentic, and deeply personal. It’s not flashy, but it feels truly special. I’ve already signed up as a member—this isn’t just a hotel, it’s a place I’ll return to again and again.

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.

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.

I came back late one evening and found my night snack waiting on the door with a comforting sweet soup—such a thoughtful touch that made me feel truly cared for. It’s rare to find such personal attention in a modern stay. The location is convenient too—just a short walk or ride into town, with plenty of local gems nearby.
