Lijiang Shanshui Tan Homestay

Stunning view of the mountain range and surrounding village. The breakfast was personalised to our taste and fresh, the lady who cooked every day was fantastic. The rooms are very clean and modern, with a heated mirror so steam won’t block your view and a heater for colder mornings. The hotel itself is lovely, with a traditional atmosphere. The property has two sweet dogs, too :) We had a great time, I wish I could bring my family next time! ＜3

I love this homestay. I have stayed in this place for the third time. It’s a beautiful, well maintained guesthouse with a caring, lovely owner in one of the most pretty, tiny mountain villages that I have seen so far in China. But I need to issue a serious warning about the recent developments on the hiking trails that surround the village. It took the young people who are now massively flocking these trails, less than a year to completely trash the trails with plastic garbage. This is NOT OK. This insensitive behavior is devastating and upsetting. It is unacceptable! The principle that all hikers and trekkers should follow when they enter the mountains is “to leave no traces”. Every plastic bottle, every plastic bag, every plastic food wrap, every oxygen bottle, every plastic rain cape, every aluminum bin, everything, that someone takes into the mountains, he or she has to take out of the mountain and to properly discard in the village’s official garbage bins. The purity and peace of natural places like this is fragile and vulnerable. Don’t take it for granted. Don’t destroy it.

The view from guest house to Yulong Moutain is wonderful. The breakfast is homemade and also very full and yummy. At night, don’t miss the night sky full of stars outside.

My wife and I (Singaporean couple) stayed on the 9th and 10th December 2023. Overall, great value-for-money. Their service and hospitality left a deep impression. From getting us additional warmers so that we don't sleep cold, buying tickets of tourist attractions at locals' price, providing adaptors for us, arranging transportation, suggesting the fun places to go, and the breakfast - lightly flavored and healthy meal -and the amazing view of the snow mountain at 720am. They even help us to exchange our cash into smaller denomination when we ran into problems paying locals for their tea as they only accept wechat pay and we don't have one set up. You will get the full experience if you can speak mandarin with them. Oh, and the room is big and is very clean. -- 我们是一对从新加坡来的夫妇。这个民宿体验非常有意思。首先，他们的性价比非常高。服务很到位，也很快。沟通起来，感觉很像是他们村里的一份子。是一个很舒服也很亲切的体验。家族生意，什么都亲力亲为。房子是女儿打理的。早餐是妈妈准备的。我们很喜欢他们准备的早餐。简单，清淡，可口，营养丰富。印象最深刻的是他们的人情味。 最重要是，房间大，也很干净。
