I chose to go to Lijiang again during the Qingming Festival. For a hotel lover, it can be regarded as an amateur exploration. The first stop was Aman in Dayan, after all, it is the top luxury in Lijiang, and the second stop was Wu Yu Lan in Baisha. Perhaps because of Aman as a benchmark, I was a little surprised when I arrived at Wu Yu Lan. After all, compared with the overall unstunning design of Aman, Wu Yu Lan is very distinctive, especially the hotel cleverly uses the soul of Lijiang-water to create the aura in the hotel, and the hotel uses the snow-capped mountains as the background to make the surrounding area of the hotel very beautiful (Figure 1). Although the room is not as big as Aman, it is also comfortable and pleasant, and the small items are also thoughtfully arranged. Not only are there regular fruit snacks, but also hot milk is delivered every night. Manager Claire is a smiling beauty, and the bouquet of flowers is the warmly greeting she prepared for me. After introducing the room facilities, she also told me that the straw hat in the closet is specially prepared for guests and can be taken away. I saw the same style in Aman's wardrobe, but the Aman waiter didn't tell me about this little thing. Although a straw hat is not worth much, it makes people feel that the hotel is considerate of the guests. The breakfast and free dinner provided by Claire Hotel are also more appropriate than Aman. I saw that some guests commented that the dishes of Mono & Arashi are not fresh, but maybe it has been improved. The dishes we ate this time are still good.
The only inconvenience is that the hotel is a bit far from the village in front and the store in the back, and the freedom of travel is somewhat limited. If it is just to relax and daze, this is a very suitable choice. The suggestion to the hotel is to consider equipping bicycles in the next step so that guests can go on a wild tour around 😀
