4-Star Hotels in Yulong

This five-star guesthouse, nestled at the foot of the snowy mountains, is truly a masterpiece of design. Our room faced the snow-capped peaks directly, though it was a cloudy day during our stay. We felt like VIPs! The owner shared fascinating insights into Naxi culture and even took us on a pleasant private hike around the village. Both breakfast and dinner were quite impressive; the rice noodles and matsutake chicken hotpot were absolutely delicious. The neighboring 'Six Three Restaurant' offers tasty home-style dishes. A delightful surprise was receiving a thoughtful souvenir after we got home. This stone village guesthouse is perfect for families looking for a relaxing and leisurely stay.

Environment: You can see the snowy mountains right from the guesthouse, with a perfect view and a large open space for admiring the scenery and taking photos. The interior design of the guesthouse is very aesthetically pleasing and sophisticated, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Service: The service is impeccable. The guesthouse's breakfast and afternoon tea are high quality; the rose latte was my favorite. The in-house private chef's cooking is exceptional and delicious. In the evening, there's even a cocktail service, which other guesthouses don't offer. Each service is handled by a dedicated staff member who responds promptly and patiently. They also provide pick-up and drop-off to and from Baisha Ancient Town. The owner personally decorated the place, and the design shows excellent taste. We brought some freshly bought flowers, and they thoughtfully provided a vase and arranged them for us, a level of detail you won't find in other hotels. The stay was absolutely fantastic. This is the best and most favorite guesthouse I've stayed at in Lijiang, and I'll definitely choose it again next time! Highly recommended.

Seriously can't recommend this hotel enough! The room was fully equipped, but the best part was truly how wonderful the owner and every single staff member were. They made us feel so welcome, and the service was absolutely top-notch – way better than some much more expensive places we've stayed. Plus, there are super cute dogs and cats on the first floor! Definitely a huge recommendation. And the breakfast can even be delivered to your room (a lifesaver for those who can't get out of bed! 🫶🏻) Highly recommend!!!!!!

Nestled just off the main road at the entrance to Yuhu Village, Baolin Homestay surprisingly keeps a perfect distance from the hustle and bustle. Stepping into the courtyard, you instantly grasp the true meaning of 'tranquility in the midst of noise': outside, you hear the clip-clop of horse hooves and the chatter of tourists, while inside, only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the distant whisper of snow-capped mountains can be heard. Right outside is the village's main street, with cafes and restaurants just a few minutes' walk away. Turning right leads directly to the path down the mountain and open fields, incredibly convenient for hiking or horse riding. The courtyard layout is particularly delightful. We stayed in a private Loft-style courtyard, with a balcony on the first floor where two rattan chairs offer views of dark grey eaves and a patch of blue sky. The second floor features another small terrace with mountain views. The two levels are independent and offer excellent sound insulation. The room's decor combines raw wood and stone for a rustic feel, the bedding is soft, and the hot water is fast and consistent. The room rate includes a simple dinner for two, and the chef's cooking is excellent – a plate of local cured pork stir-fried with mushrooms, savory and imbued with a wild, earthy flavor; the stir-fried seasonal vegetables were crisp, tender, and sweet, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. Breakfast was plentiful, with hot congee, rice noodles, and side dishes, setting a great mood for the day. The front desk lady is the heart and soul of this place. Meticulous, diligent, and thoughtful, she brought us a warm, sweet dessert soup every evening that warmed us to our fingertips. Her drinks are never perfunctory, whether it's freshly ground coffee or ginger-date milk tea, all made with genuine care. The three little cats are the lively treasures of the courtyard, bringing the whole place to life. Our three days at Baolin were not luxurious, but everything was perfectly arranged; not ostentatious, yet unforgettable. This stone-walled courtyard in Yuhu Village – it will gently embrace you with a warm meal, a comforting drink, and a quiet night.

Staying at this luxurious wilderness hotel at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was the most unexpectedly wonderful and healing experience of our Lijiang trip. As soon as we opened the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in our room, the entire Jade Dragon Snow Mountain came into full view. The clouds drifted across the peaks, a sight both gentle and majestic. The hotel boasts a sprawling lawn, with winding wooden boardwalks leading towards the distant mountains. Lambs roamed freely, and every photo we took of the mountain scenery looked like it belonged in a magazine – truly an ideal wilderness retreat. Even more impressive than the breathtaking scenery was the incredibly thoughtful service that made us feel right at home. I accidentally spilled milk tea and stained the front desk, but the staff cleaned it up meticulously without a word of complaint. When we returned in heavy rain, a dedicated staff member walked us all the way to our car under an umbrella and back to the hotel. When my child suffered from altitude sickness, oxygen tanks were delivered multiple times throughout the night, available instantly whenever we called. I even left my facial cleanser behind in a rush when checking out, and the hotel proactively shipped it to our next hotel free of charge. With the romantic setting of the snowy mountain and the vast lawn, combined with such delicate and warm hospitality, there was no sense of unfamiliar distance. It truly felt like having a gentle home at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

View: The front desk and rooftop terrace offer panoramic views of the snow-capped mountains, perfect for witnessing the 'Golden Mountain in the Sun' spectacle, with high chances of great photos. Location: Just a 300-meter walk to Baisha Old Town, with a shuttle service to the town provided. The guesthouse is surrounded by vast, charming rural farmland and picturesque scenery. Facilities: The family suite features panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, smart home appliances, and high-quality, clean bedding. It also includes a scenic bathtub. Services: 24-hour butler service, complimentary breakfast and afternoon tea upon check-in, and local souvenirs upon departure. Guests can also experience unique wilderness activities. Special Features: The guesthouse is home to many cats, dogs, white rabbits, and geese, making it very pet-friendly.

I brought my parents here, and even now, the three of us are still reminiscing. It felt like we were in the Swiss mountains, with every scene of the fields and pastures looking like a painting. This is true 'wild luxury' and a perfect escape. Just sitting in the wilderness and zoning out was incredibly healing. Oh, and the toiletries were a full set of Acqua di Parma's Colonia range, which I absolutely loved. No need to worry about the villas being far apart; they offer shuttle service that gets you to your room in three minutes, and they respond incredibly quickly. The ranch has many retired million-dollar racehorses running freely without saddles. They'd walk right up to you, and seeing them graze outside the window felt sacred and awe-inspiring. The restaurant food was superb; we had their Dai-style stir-fried chicken four times, and it was absolutely divine! The butlers were all very genuine and fun; with 14 butlers looking after just you, I felt like a kid again. We stayed in Lijiang for six days, at Banyan Tree, Taohuawu, and Qianshanji, but this 'wild luxury' hotel was by far the most memorable and stunning. It's true that experiencing such an amazing hotel too early raises your expectations, as everything from the environment to the service here is top-notch. It even made our subsequent stay at Lugu Lake feel less impressive. Next time, I'm definitely staying for a whole week; two days was just too short!

The location is great: not far from the North Gate of Baisha Ancient Town, and within walking distance to Baisha and Jianshan Courtyard, which is very convenient. The service is excellent: a day before check-in, there was a dedicated service group providing warm reminders and prompt responses to our needs. We stayed for 2 days, and they even offered airport pick-up. For daily needs, they would also provide pick-up or drop-off services – the service was truly exceptional. Other impressions: The owner doesn't talk much, but pays great attention to detail. Fearing the children might be shy to ask for things, they repeatedly offered warm reminders, asking if we needed more breakfast or if we wanted the goodnight dessert delivered to the room. (I didn't take many photos, but it was just as described; I only have one photo of the mountain view taken from the rooftop that evening.)

This hotel was a blind choice, but it turned out to be an unexpected delight! The scenery at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is absolutely beautiful, the stay was comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. On the day we arrived, we even saw newborn lamb at the ranch, which was so heartwarming. I especially want to praise all the staff; they were incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. As soon as our car pulled up, they actively rushed over to help us with our luggage and check-in. There are so many other thoughtful details I want to commend, like how on the second day, I only put the room number on my food delivery order. When the delivery arrived at the front desk, we were having breakfast, and a staff member brought it directly to our table. This shows they genuinely pay attention to which guest is in which room. What moved me the most was on the day we left, the staff had already loaded our luggage into the car and waved goodbye as we drove off. However, as we were driving out, a truck blocked the road ahead. Unexpectedly, a staff member saw this and specifically ran out to help us negotiate with the truck driver. I saw in my rearview mirror that the young lady stood there until our car was able to move forward smoothly before turning back. I was so touched! 🥹 I'm grateful to have met such thoughtful and warm people during our trip. See you next time! 👋🏻

This hotel's location is absolutely unbeatable! Situated right near Baisha Ancient Town and at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it boasts a prime, front-row view of the mountain. With unspoiled agricultural land in front, the panoramic views are completely unobstructed. You can soak in the majestic snow-capped peaks right from your room, and even witness the breathtaking 'Golden Mountain in the Sunlight' spectacle from your bed. The ambiance and viewing experience were incredible, making this the most delightful stay of our Lijiang trip. The service was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. As we stayed for two nights, the hotel kindly arranged airport transfers, making everything seamless and stress-free. They also provided daily shuttle service to and from Baisha Ancient Town, which was super convenient for exploring and saved us the hassle of driving or finding taxis. Beyond that, the hotel offered immersive Naxi cultural experiences like tea pressing and 'Jiama' woodblock printing, which allowed us to truly delve into local customs and added so much richness and fun to our journey. The staff were consistently warm and attentive throughout our stay. They greeted us cheerfully, patiently recommended local specialty foods and off-the-beaten-path routes, and all their suggestions were incredibly useful. During downtime, they'd even invite guests to gather downstairs for tea and a chat. Their genuine and heartfelt approach made us feel completely at ease and welcome, as if we were visiting our own backyard. Their meticulous care and concern were evident in every interaction, truly making us feel at home. The guest rooms were spacious, and the amenities were comprehensive and well-equipped with everything you could need, ensuring a very comfortable stay. The combination of the unparalleled scenic views and outstanding soft and hard services far exceeded our expectations. Whether you're looking for a relaxing vacation or an immersive Lijiang experience, I highly recommend it. This will definitely be my top choice for accommodation on my next visit to Lijiang!
