We stayed at YinYue·Sifu Designer Scenic Inn during our trip to Lijiang. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and a great choice if you want to experience the atmosphere of Lijiang Old Town.
Location:
The location is convenient for exploring the Old Town on foot, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, shops, and photo spots nearby.
Room & atmosphere:
The property has a beautiful traditional-style atmosphere with modern touches. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for a family. The surroundings are also very photogenic and give you the feeling of actually staying inside Lijiang Old Town.
Good for families:
We traveled with both a young child and a 69-year-old family member. For children and adults, getting around was generally easy and comfortable.
Important tip for elderly travelers:
The streets inside Lijiang Old Town are mostly uneven stone-paved roads. For elderly travelers, walking to the hotel can be a little challenging. Our 69-year-old family member found the walk more difficult, so this is something to keep in mind if you are traveling with seniors or anyone with limited mobility.
However, you do not need to carry or drag your luggage through the Old Town yourself. There is a local luggage delivery service available for around 20 RMB per trip. You can leave your luggage with them and simply walk to the hotel without carrying anything, then wait for your luggage to be delivered. This made things much easier for us.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel for couples, families with children, and travelers who want to stay inside Lijiang Old Town. If you are traveling with elderly family members, the stone-paved streets are worth considering, but the luggage delivery service makes the journey much more manageable.
A beautiful and convenient base for exploring Lijiang Old Town. 🏮✨
