Lijiang Inns

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!

Facilities: Well-equipped. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: Ancient and elegant, with a classic Chinese courtyard style. Service: Very attentive and thoughtful. We were heading to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain early the next morning, departing at 5:50 AM, so we couldn't have breakfast at the hotel. They could only pack milk and sandwiches for us. I mentioned I'd prefer yogurt, and the butler said it might not be possible. However, the next day, the breakfast bag contained yogurt! I was very touched!

My three-day trip to Lijiang, staying at this hotel, was an absolutely amazing experience. 🌟 Service: From the moment I booked, I felt pampered. Before check-in, the front desk proactively set up a dedicated service group chat. Even when we were still in Dali, they thoughtfully sent us sightseeing suggestions. Upon arrival, the butler was quick to help with our luggage and provided a detailed Lijiang guide. They also reminded us daily about afternoon tea and late-night snacks at the right time. A special shout-out to ”Millennium Butler” (千禧管家) – so gentle and patient, always ready to help. If he was busy, other butlers immediately stepped in, providing seamless and attentive service. This feeling of being ”collectively pampered” was incredibly reassuring. 📍 Location: Within walking distance of the Old Town and Black Dragon Pool. You can walk to Black Dragon Pool Park and the Big Waterwheel of Lijiang Old Town in two different directions from the hotel. If you want to go to Shuhe or Baisha, a taxi ride is quick and convenient. 🎫 Additional Services: Ticket booking, fair prices. The guesthouse can book tickets for ”Lijiang Impression” (丽江千古情) and nearby horse ranches. We didn't have enough time to go, but I compared their prices with market rates, and the horse ranch quote was very reasonable, saving us both hassle and money. 🍜 Dining: Afternoon tea, late-night snacks, and breakfast – all prepared with care. The afternoon tea pastries were exquisite and delicious (though the selection was fixed, the taste was on point). The late-night sweet soup was warm and comforting, but unfortunately, we were out having fun for three days and only managed to catch it once. The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, but the rice noodles were incredibly fragrant. Paired with the guesthouse's homemade mushroom oil, my travel companion and I woke up early every day just for that dish. We even bought a bottle of the mushroom oil to take home for our family to enjoy with meals. 🏡 Environment: Naxi courtyard, with the snowy mountains in sight. The courtyard is elegant, with beautiful flowers and trees. Just relaxing in the courtyard every morning was a treat. The rooftop directly faces Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and on clear days, the ”Golden Mountain in the Sun” (日照金山) was clearly visible. The room size was moderate, with no unpleasant odors, soft bedding, and a well-designed wet/dry separation in the bathroom. The overall style was simple yet sophisticated, perfectly matching my aesthetic. If I visit Lijiang again, I will definitely choose Doplin once more. It truly transformed a guesthouse into a ”warm home.” I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Lijiang!

Other places just say 'the customer is king,' but you guys truly prove it with your actions! Even before we arrived, the front desk staff met us at the ancient city gate. We didn't have to lift a finger; they handled all our luggage and took it straight to our room. Talk about seamless service! As soon as we stepped in, a lovely staff member brought us tea and desserts – so thoughtful! The owner, 'Tieniu,' greeted us at the entrance with incredible warmth. He first explained the layout and then gave us a tour. The most impressive part? He had already turned on the air conditioning in our reserved room! Truly amazing. After resting in the room for a bit, a staff member brought us fruit and a handwritten card! The handwritten touch completely exceeded my expectations; it felt like catching up with a long-lost friend. And there was afternoon tea, breakfast, and even custom cocktails in the evening – all with choices for us. I honestly feel they genuinely demonstrate 'the customer is king' through their actions; they put so much heart into it. They're incredibly considerate, thinking of everything we might need before we even do. Seriously, no exaggeration needed!!!

I really made the right choice! This guesthouse is right by the ancient city, very close to the Big Waterwheel, so I didn't have to drag my luggage over cobblestone streets. It was incredibly convenient for getting around, offering a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. The courtyard is exquisitely decorated with lush greenery everywhere. The tea room and rooftop terrace are beautiful – every photo I took looked amazing. My room was spotless, and the bedding was soft and comfortable for a good night's sleep. The concierge service was incredibly warm and helpful; they assisted with planning my itinerary and responded quickly to any requests. It was the perfect place to slow down, enjoy some tea, relax, and shake off my travel fatigue.

This has been the most satisfying B&B I've ever stayed in. The facilities are excellent, the service is attentive, and responses are quick. They offer free high-speed rail pickup, luggage transfer, welcome afternoon tea, and bedtime milk. When we found a drain odor in our room, the staff checked it out and upgraded us immediately, resolving the issue promptly. The toiletries are also high-end, and you can even take home the slippers, bath towels, and regular towels. Aside from the slight noise issue and a limited breakfast selection, everything else was perfect. I would definitely choose Po Xin Yun She again next time.

What was a bit frustrating was the odor in the bathroom of the first-floor room. It wasn't strong, but it was quite noticeable, probably from sewage backing up in the summer. I hope the owner can improve that... The bed creaked constantly, making a lot of noise when I turned over. The special items I saw when booking, like fruit and flower cakes, didn't seem to be there, and I was too embarrassed to ask the owner... Anyway, the dog was really cute, and that was about it.

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!

The guesthouse has a fantastic location, just a 5-minute walk to the center of the old town. The owner was incredibly welcoming, offering to help with luggage and providing travel tips. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and stylishly decorated. Although it's on the street, it was very quiet at night; the attention to detail was excellent. My stay was perfect for a few days, and the value for money was fantastic. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Lijiang!

This was truly a unique experience! The price was great, the environment was lovely, and the service was incredibly thoughtful. The front desk lady meticulously explained how to see the 'sunrise over the golden mountains' and how to explore Lijiang. The best part? The guesthouse owner turned out to be from my hometown in Chongqing, and even our neighbor! What a small world, you couldn't make this up. We drank tea in the afternoon and had drinks together in the evening – they were so incredibly hospitable! 😍 Next time I'm in Lijiang, I'm definitely staying here again. The emotional value was off the charts! 💯 Below are some real photos I took this morning. Friends, if you're going to Lijiang, this guesthouse should be your top choice.
