Jianchuan Hotels with Parking

I stayed here for four or five days straight, and it was truly wonderful! The shower had a huge overhead rainfall showerhead with great water pressure, and the room's soundproofing was excellent. Every morning, the landlady would prepare a lovely breakfast. The entire building probably only has six or seven rooms. There were too many people taking photos in the scenic area, so I ended up taking all my pictures downstairs at the guesthouse – they turned out great! The owner can offer pick-up and drop-off to Shaxi Ancient Town (it's very close), or you can use the guesthouse's electric scooter for free. The hotel's location is convenient for getting anywhere, and there's also free parking for cars, which was a lifesaver since we drove all the way from Dali Airport!

First, I chose this hotel because of its natural countryside scenery and the design of traditional Bai ethnic houses. Living in the ancient town is too noisy and overly commercial. This place is close to the ancient town, close to the lives of Bai villagers, and allows me to enjoy the breeze and scenery of the countryside. Second, there's a flat parking lot, which is very suitable for low-lying cars. Also, the owner is very kind and I have access to the kitchen, which is great for those who often eat out and sometimes want to cook. Time is limited this time, so I plan to stay for two weeks if possible.

My stay in Shaxi was made truly special and serene by choosing Kogonki. Even before I arrived, the butler thoughtfully added me on WeChat, reminding me that the ancient town's cobblestone paths aren't ideal for dragging luggage. He was already waiting at the drop-off point with a small trolley to pick us up. Stepping into this 140-year-old renovated ancestral home, you can feel the tranquil atmosphere that has settled over a century-old courtyard. The traditional Bai ethnic 'running horse turning corner' architecture has been meticulously restored, preserving its historical weight while injecting modern comfort. The room itself was full of thoughtful details, not only equipped with Hansgrohe bathroom fixtures, a Dyson humidifier, and Bulgari toiletries, but what was even more touching were the unexpected small items – a portable bag for outings came prepared with sunglasses, sunscreen spray, lip balm, and even a face mask, eye mask, and laundry detergent! Such meticulousness made me feel incredibly pampered. Every day, fresh fruit and an exquisite afternoon tea were provided, and after a tiring day of exploring, a warm bowl of sweet soup awaited us before bed. What was most unforgettable was the service; everyone was genuine and enthusiastic. The 24-hour butler response was incredibly prompt, and no matter what we needed, they were always patient. The Guoqiao rice noodles for breakfast were very authentic, and I heard it's considered the best breakfast in the ancient town. Located right in the center of the ancient town, it's just a stone's throw from the ancient opera stage and Yujin Bridge, making it effortless to immerse ourselves in Shaxi's slow-paced life. This isn't just a hotel; it feels more like a warm home in Shaxi. The next time I return to Shaxi, I will definitely choose to stay here again.

This guesthouse has a story to tell. There's a 530-year-old ancient tree right by the entrance, home to a family of squirrels. As soon as I entered the room, I found a pair of chestnut-dyed cloth squirrels placed on the bed. Lying on the third-floor bed, the old tree glowed with life under the setting sun. The indigo-dyed soft couch on the terrace made me fall in love with Yunnan's sunshine, and the abundant flowers and plants everywhere showed the owner's passion for life. The guesthouse manager and the young lady's tea and dishes were unforgettable; that elegant, down-to-earth charm makes me want to return to this place again and again.

I'm already home but still thinking about my three days in Shaxi!!! 1. Location + Parking 🅿️: The guesthouse was very easy to find, and since we drove, we wanted a place with parking. There's a small road in front of the guesthouse where you can park, which was very convenient 😊. 2. Ambiance: As soon as we stepped out of the car and entered, we were pleasantly surprised. It's a very comfortable and stylish courtyard. When we didn't go out, sitting in the courtyard and having some tea was incredibly relaxing. I also loved the room's decor – it was clean, hygienic, and had a subtle, pleasant aroma. There were small tables and chairs outside the room where we could relax. 3. Service: The guesthouse owner, the front desk lady, and the auntie were all super nice and enthusiastic. They gave us great tips for exploring the ancient town, and their daily greetings felt like catching up with old friends. (The breakfast was really delicious!) There's also a super cute cat named Huanhuan at the guesthouse!!!! So spiritual!! And very friendly!!! Every time I came back, I'd look for the cat first, haha!!! Overall, it was a very happy and relaxing trip! If I get a chance to visit Shaxi again, I'll definitely stay here again 🥰.

This guesthouse was a really comfortable stay! The courtyard is clean and pretty, with lots of greenery, and it's very quiet. The room was spacious and tidy, the bed was soft, and there was a big bathtub. The afternoon tea provided by the owner had a great variety, with fruits, desserts, and tea, all tasting good. The overall environment is peaceful, and it offers great value for money. It's definitely worth staying here when you come to Yunnan.

I had a very pleasant stay at 沙溪归尘 and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Shaxi who is looking for a clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully run homestay. Room & Facilities The house is very clean and well maintained — everything feels new and well cared for. My room was cozy and comfortable, and the bed was especially nice, which helped me rest well. One thing I really appreciated was that the room even had a washing machine, which is a big plus for longer trips. The garden is also lovely and adds to the calm, relaxed atmosphere of the place. Breakfast & Thoughtful Touches Breakfast was prepared by the owner, and the 米线 (mixian) was honestly the best I had during my entire Yunnan trip — comforting, well-balanced, and made with care. Before bedtime, the owner even brought us a warm glass of milk 🥛, which was such a thoughtful and heart-warming gesture. Location & Morning Mist at 玉津桥 One important thing to note for travelers who plan to catch the morning mist or sunrise at 玉津桥: the homestay does not provide early-morning transfer services, only after 9:00am. The homestay is about 1.5km from 玉津桥, so it’s important to arrange your own transport in advance (for example, 小黄车). I learned this a bit late — at around 7:30am — and almost missed the sunrise timing. Walking there in the early morning was very cold and takes about 30minutes for 1.5km. Luckily, I after walked for a while I met a very kind local let’s call him “小白车师傅” who had just dropped his child at school near the homestay. He generously gave me a free ride to the bridge. Thanks to him, I managed to make it in time. Minor Miscommunication At check-in, I was told there would be unlimited transfers to Shaxi Ancient Town, so I assumed that an early drop-off closer to the town (and then walking to the bridge) might be possible. However, in the morning, the owner needed to stay back to prepare breakfast and couldn’t leave. This was a small miscommunication, and it would be helpful if early-morning transport limitations were clarified more clearly in advance. Overall Impression Other than this minor issue, my stay at 沙溪归尘 was truly pleasant. The cleanliness, comfort, homemade breakfast, and thoughtful details made it a very warm and memorable experience. I would still happily recommend this homestay and would consider staying again — just with early transport planned ahead next time.

It was super convenient to get back to the hotel after exploring the ancient town. The design is really impressive, with a natural wood and Song Dynasty-inspired aesthetic that perfectly matches Shaxi's rustic charm. The courtyard with its flowing water, wooden corridors, and the gentle, Zen-like atmosphere as soon as you open the door is just lovely 🍃. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bedding was so soft, and the bathroom facilities were convenient and clean. After a shower, curling up in bed and watching 'Meet Yourself' just melted away all the day's fatigue. There's 24-hour butler service and afternoon tea upon check-in – sipping tea, listening to the wind, and watching the fish play in the pond amidst the misty atmosphere was truly relaxing 🐟. Waking up early, enjoying breakfast, and then just gazing out the window at the scenery, listening to the wind and rain, is truly living that slow-paced 'wind-filled' life.

We absolutely loved our stay at Miss May Hostel❤️❤️ The room was clean, spacious, warm, and well-equipped. You can really tell how much care the owners put into their home an the surrounding plants and greenery gave the place a dreamy countryside atmosphere. The owners are not only friendly but incredibly kind and helpful as well. They recommended great places to eat and even helped us arrange the transfer to Lijiang. Shaxi itself is a perfect place for anyone seeking peaceful and a slow paced experience. We really appreciated everything here and highly recommend both Shaxi and Miss May that we only wish we could have stayed longer🥹

The environment is very good, not far from the ancient town of Shaxi, very quiet, more comfortable than living in the ancient town, the bed in the room is very comfortable and the sheets are very comfortable, and the design feels very careful. Very recommended, the landlord’s aunt is also very good!
