Wuyuenian Renwen Inn

This property is run by a nice old couple and they are really really awesome people and aunty also speak good English and will give you all the information about shaxi. Location is right in old town with a very quick walk to the main old theatre street. Rooms are beautifully decorated with all amenities, heater etc. They also have open seating space on 2nd floor where one can read books and there are even toys for kids to play, my son was so happy and kept himself busy. They helped arranged us a sharing taxi for lijiang and also helped us drop our bags to taxi pickup point. Shaxi is a must visit in itinerary to this part of Yunnan and you can simply select this place to stay and they will make sure you leave with only happiness. I wish we can visit shaxi and again one day and stay here in this cute little hotel. Thank you so much.

This boutique inn was cute & comfortable. Kind of hard to find location due to it being in a narrow ally. It was very close to old town so that was a plus. We were lucky to stay on a Friday, which was the weekly market day where all farmers from around the region come to sell their goods. The filming location from the Chinese drama Meet Yourself was packed with tourist, us too. We ate at this location, good was delicious.

I was really looking forward to this stay as I’d heard great things about this couple, and it did not disappoint. The property and room was very quaint. Miss May and her husband were absolutely lovely and so kind. The heated pad in the bed and heated toilet seat were a wonderful addition and made the environment even more comfortable.

The Inn is so lovely and exquisite. Our room is so cozy, clean and well decorated. A very thoughtful owner who pays alot of attention in all the small details in the room. Comfortable bed, nice shower gel and shampoo, also a nice scented bag on the bed to sooth your sleep. We love the beautiful lovely garden and courtyard. The owner, Joyce, is so helpful and nice. She helped to arrange for our logistics even though she was on overseas holiday when we called her. So happy that we managed to meet her and had a good chat before we left Shaxi. Joyce also shared travel tips with us for our next holiday destination. We are so happy that we managed to go to the Friday morning market before we depart. Shaxi is a calm and beautiful town. We definitely come back to stay the next time for a longer period to enjoy Shaxi.

quaint guest house that is run by a retired HK couple, they provided the warmest welcome during our entire trip, and we felt so at home! we spend quite a while chatting with Ms May and her husband and enjoyed the exchange. facilities are homely and basic, with a lovely garden and a kids play area. total of 8 rooms. shaxi ancient town is such a gem, quaint, quiet and is a place where you can really slow down your pace to appreciate what yunnan china is like. spend your time wandering around shaxi ancient town, it’s small (1 hour exploration) but definitely take the time to sit with a cup of coffee or a book. take the yellow taxi (electric buggy) to explore the various smaller towns that surround shaxi. there are appx 7 smaller towns, each with its own charm… we only had time to explore beilongchun, where the pace of life is slow, quiet and healing. the higher you hike, the views are very different! some places to check out: - shaxi avant garde book shop u - universal bakery (alien mascot bakery that sells sourdough, hard crust bread) - bailong tan (small lake) - 山风院子 which has a tree house and a mini cafe - shaxi tea horse museum - old stone bridge, in the afternoon an elderly couple would be there with their goats and you can buy goat milk or take photos. - shaxi friday market!!!

Very interesting and cosy place to stay. Friendly owner couple homestay. Clean room, bed is hard enough.
