I was very satisfied with my stay here. The owner was extremely friendly and attentive; the service was excellent, the rooms were beautifully decorated, and the cleanliness was top-notch, making me feel like I was at home. The location is also perfect, right at the south gate of the ancient city. Upon arrival, the owner personally helped us with our luggage by riding a tricycle. The inn is very comfortable, and it’s very quiet at night. The owner is also a great talker; we enjoyed a cup of tea while he shared stories from all over the world with us. If only there wasn’t such a tight schedule, I would have loved to stay longer. Looking forward to our next meeting!

Guest UserI have to specifically praise the luggage transfer service! The inn is located near the South Gate of the ancient city, not far to walk, but the cobblestone paths are rough, and suitcases can easily get scuffed. The owner helped us with luggage pickup and drop-off right at the intersection, so we didn't have to struggle with dragging it ourselves. The fact that they helped protect my suitcase really impressed me. The room had great natural light, the bedding was soft, and the hot water was consistent. The owner sent detailed location instructions in advance, so there was no need to worry about getting lost in the alleys. In your free time, you can take photos and relax in the courtyard. The service was attentive and genuine, with absolutely no upselling. Accessing the ancient city through the South Gate is convenient, and this transfer service greatly enhanced our stay. I'll definitely choose this place again next time!

My room was on the third floor, so I couldn't get a direct view of the distant snow-capped mountains. The weather in Lijiang these past few days has been quite good; waking up in the morning and drawing back the curtains revealed beautiful mountain scenery. If the weather is clear, you can wake up early and head straight to the rooftop for a distant view of the 'golden mountain' sunrise over the snow peaks (I'm not sure if it's Jade Dragon Snow Mountain).
The room was spacious, very clean, and well-equipped. The guesthouse is located in a quiet village with many other guesthouses nearby, and electric scooter rentals are also available.
The courtyard was beautifully maintained, with some flowers and plants. The hosts were very welcoming; the owner even gave us flower cakes and oranges. Every morning, the hostess personally prepared breakfast in the kitchen (rice noodles, dumplings, steamed buns, soy milk, etc.).
It was a very satisfying stay.

Traveling with friends, we blindly picked this guesthouse and it was such great value for money! The owner was also super friendly, confirming our arrival plans a day in advance and even helping us with our luggage. There's also a very cute and friendly corgi at the guesthouse that you can pet. The place was very clean too. Definitely the top choice for accommodation when visiting Lijiang!

Igor-dRuoshiguang Liuying Inn is a fantastic little place set in a perfect location in Lijiang old town. The location is close enough to everything you would need but tucked away to ensure a quiet and peaceful stay. The staff were amazing and helped us immensely. Everyone was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless and had a nice charm to them. Heating worked perfectly and kept us warm during the cold nights. Highly recommend - we hope to return one day!

Guest UserI've stayed at this hostel for 5 days, in a male dorm
once you get that place, you might be noticed that this hostel is a bit far from Lijiang old town
but trust me, you will not like Lijiang old town
it is too commercialized to feel the Nasi culture, and literally you will be in the middle of human waves, especially at night(cuz night food market is just next to it)
Whilst this hostel is located nearest Suhe old town
around 2 min away by foot
if gate keeper ask you to pay entrance fare ( I never been asked)
just take a detour, you don't need to pay
also, baisha old town is also close, 10 RMB by taxi
hostel owner Willy ( not sure about spelling)
he speaks very good English, if you have any questions, he's willing to help you
also other staffs are very friendly and nice👍
even there's two cutest cats! ( just if you have cat allergy, be aware of them, they only stay inside of reception room )
the other things you should know is, if you want to visit Jade dragon snow mountain by public transportation such as bus 🚌, you need to take another bus( bus station is just in front of hostel ) to chongyi market ( better need to take the bus here rather than other stations ), and the first bus of the day departs around 8:50 from hostel side
so if you want to see earliest Jade dragon mountain, you better need to book an tour program or take 7 persons mini van or Taxi
second thing is, I was in the 10 person's dorm
and the shower room is inside of dorm, room condition is not 100% perfect, apart from your bed, so if you are the one that cannot sleep easily, maybe not a good choice for you, plus around 8 am, the town has a bit loud sound of Nasi style Azan songs, I woke up by that Azan sound 1 ~ 2 times
but all the same, if i have a nice chance, I would comeback to this hostel, probably for long term stay in the future with my partner
if you come to this hotel I hope you are also able to enjoy your trip, good luck!🫡

NulichengweixiaoxianyuAfter navigating the cobblestone streets of Lijiang Old Town with my luggage for what felt like ages, I finally spotted the wooden sign for Anyun Tianxin Inn at a corner, and was immediately warmed by the sheepskin lantern hanging above the doorway. A steaming cup of Pu'er tea was offered upon arrival, and they mentioned freshly baked flower cakes were in a bamboo basket, encouraging us to have some to tide us over. Our second-floor view room faced Sifang Street directly. In the evening, sitting on the rattan chair on the terrace, we watched Naxi grannies walk by with their bamboo baskets, as the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain shimmered faintly in the twilight. The air itself was fragrant with a mix of osmanthus and woody scents. Woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of rain, I pushed open the window to find water accumulated in the stone vat under the eaves, reflecting a sky full of stars. This, I thought, must be the ancient town's most tranquil charm.

This was my first time in Yunnan, and my experience in Lijiang was made truly memorable thanks to this charming, family-run boutique hotel.
I arrived very early in the morning after taking an overnight sleeper train from Kunming. Check-in was officially after 2 p.m., so I simply intended to leave my luggage and freshen up before exploring the area. To my pleasant surprise, I was warmly welcomed by Chun Kai, the owner’s son, who was managing the front desk that morning. Upon learning that I had an overnight journey, he kindly offered to let me check in early if a room became available. Within 15 minutes, a freshly cleaned room was ready for me, and I was like wowww and really appreciated it.
Throughout my three-night stay, Chun Kai continued to be extremely helpful. Despite having to return to his hometown for his grandmother’s birthday, he was very responsive to all my inquiries about local food, attractions and tips through WeChat.
The room was clean, well-maintained and comfortable, with an ensuite bathroom, a water heater and an air-conditioner that doubled as a heater. For the price I paid, the room offered excellent value.
In terms of location, the hotel is not situated within Lijiang Ancient City, but that turned out to be an advantage. The surrounding neighborhood is quieter and more affordable, with a wide variety of local eateries and two major supermarkets nearby, i.e. Likelong Supermarket is less than a five-minute walk away, and Walmart is just a bit farther.
Above all, it was the kindness and genuine hospitality that left a lasting impression. I found it difficult to leave, despite my short stay. If I return to Lijiang, this hotel will certainly be at the top of my list.
P/S: The Google Maps address currently appears to be inaccurate. I recommend contacting the hotel directly for the correct location—entry is via the West Gate.

First of all, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stay here because there weren’t many reviews yet. But I decided to take a chance, and it turned out to be the best decision ever! I’m so grateful to be staying here. The place is very close to the gate, making it easy to get a taxi or Didi. It’s within walking distance to the ancient town, and halal/Muslim food is just nearby! There are many shops around, and everything is very convenient. Plus, it’s affordable!
The rooms have heaters and blanket heaters, and the hot water works great. The Wi-Fi is fast, too. But what I think is most important are the incredibly kind and helpful owner and her friend. They are extremely supportive and solved all my problems. They also reply to my messages quickly! I booked something online, and they helped me receive the package. They also assisted with my logistics, which was so helpful for me as a mother of four. It can be tiring to think about everything at once, but they made it so much easier. I’m overwhelmed by how caring and generous these two ladies are. 🥹🥹🥹
They also arranged our trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and we had a private tour just for our family. We were driven in a luxury car, which was very comfortable for us.
This is my daughter’s first time in China, and she has fallen in love with the Chinese people because they are so friendly and kind. We feel very safe staying here. I highly recommend this place! Just ask the owner if you need anything—they will help you with whatever they can.
I hope I can repay your kindness in some way. Wishing you good fortune and good health. I hope to see you again in the future. Overall, our family is very satisfied. I will definitely recommend this place to fellow Malaysians. ❤️
Lots of love from us. Have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️
