Only a short 1-minute stroll from Shuhe Ancient Town, The Bivou features accommodation in local and modern styles combined together. Blending in by making use of the barbecue facilities, lazing in soothing massage, going horse riding or enjoying a fun time with your children at kids’ club seems like a nice getaway. Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas. Not really sure where to start. One of the nicest B&B style hotels I’ve stayed anywhere in the world. Staff go above and beyond everyday and the ambience of the place is so relaxing it’s hard to stay standing. It’s just off the Main Street in the quieter of the “old towns” Shuhe, but it’s so quiet you wouldn’t even know it’s there. Beautiful surrounds and convenient to literally everywhere. Literally, just stay here: way more personal than any of the bigger hotels in the area I’m sure.

The Linden Centre is an award-winning boutique hotel offering the intrepid traveler an inspiring exploration into Southwest China. The property, renovated by the Lindens, is one of their attempts to preserve local Bai heritage and introduce curious travelers to a different side of China.The Linden Centre has been consistently ranked as a top Dali hotel, and has gained international recognition for its commitment to cultural sustainability and heritage preservation. Free Wi-Fi access is available. Perfect stay! Staff were incredibly helpful, especially DanDan, who gave us a free market tour and tour of the building- having that time with her meant we learnt so much we wouldn't have otherwise. Breakfast was delicious, as was the welcome drink, which we took as a tea set on the terrace- a perfect way to spend the afternoon after a morning of sightseeing. The location is perfect- in Xizhou town- a beautiful spot surrounded by rice fields- out of the hustle and bustle of Dali, but close enough for easy sightseeing. Beds were super comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed. I wish I was back there now!

Jun Bo Xuan Boutique is a charming guesthouse located in the centre of Lijiang Old Town, only a 5-minute walk from Sifang Street. It boasts traditional Naxi style architecture and well-decorated rooms with free Wi-Fi in the entire hotel. We felt welcome like visiting family members or close friends rather than simply hotel guests. The owner and staff are very hospitable, and also knowledgable about local attractions, giving us good guidance one. places to eat and visit. The hotel is redesigned from a traditional home with exquisite taste, and the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. It is a very quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Old Town after a day of exploration. Lastly, it is very near to one of the entrances, about 200 meters to walk in since the Old Town roads are inaccessible to vehicles. The owner sent their staff to help us with luggage when we arrived at and departed from the hotel. I would choose to stay in this exceptional hotel again if we visit Lijiang again.
