Situated within 300 metres of Guan Men Kou and less than 1 km of Loyalty Arch, Big Tree Guesthouse - Naxi old style features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Lijiang. With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. This was our favourite accommodation during our month in China. The property itself is beautiful and so relaxing. The courtyard was a great bonus to hang out by when it was raining (covered seating areas). They have the cutest two cats that made our stay extra special. The bed was soooo comfortable. Joye was a great host! He made sure we got the best recommendations and best price for our tiger leaping gorge trip. The location is perfect too.

Jacky's Guesthouse has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Yuanyang. The accommodation features room service, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests.

With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and slippers, rooms at the hostel also boast free WiFi, while some rooms include a mountain view. Staying at Jacky's guesthouse was an excellent choice. Jacky made our stay unforgettably beautiful. He suggested hiking trails running up and down the terraces so that we could observe nature and people very closely. On his trails were no tourists and in this really overcrowded touristic area was of great value for us. Thank you Jacky for sharing this experience with us and also for organising the transportation. Take care.

Operated by the local Nakhi people and enjoying a history of 15 years, Mama Naxi Guesthouse is a family-style hostel offering cosy accommodation in Lijiang. Free WiFi is accessible in all areas.

Lijiang Ancient Town is an 11-minute walk from Mama Naxi Guesthouse. Lijiang Railway Station is an 18-minute drive away. Lijiang Sanyi Airport is 20 km from the property. A very comfortable, homey place, close to the Ancient town but in a less touristy neighborhood full of eateries. The manager was extremely helpful in helping me to book a bus for the gorge hike. They also let me store my luggage on the night of the hike.

Featuring inner courtyard views, 大理沙溪云喜七月精品客栈 Shaxi Ancient Town Yunxi Qiyue Guesthouse in Jianchuan features accommodation and a garden. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. The homestay has family rooms. I can't find the words to describe how perfect my stay was. The room was immaculate, the bedding extremely comfortable. The toiletries were top of the range. And the breakfasts... absolutely delicious! Located 2 minutes from the center, this hotel is ideal for a relaxing stay in Shaxi. The host, Lynn, was lovely and always helpful to this French tourist who doesn't speak Chinese (me)! She also sells pottery featuring the local cat mascot: Wa Mao. If I wasn't backpacking for six months, I would have loved to buy some, they're so cute. Just go! ☀️
