AAnonymous UserWhen planning our Dragon Boat Festival trip, a friend highly recommended this place early on, and I'm so glad I booked it immediately! 😏
We stayed for three nights, and each day was a different experience. One minute it would be pouring rain, then the clouds would roll away, and the sun would be scorching. ⛈️☀️🌦️ The balcony is spacious, perfect for lounging and doing nothing, though I did get a tan. Yunnan's UV rays are brutal for anyone who thinks they won't get burned. 🥲
Lijiang's weather is unpredictable, and combined with the high altitude, my mom experienced altitude sickness on her first night. 🤯 The medicine I brought wasn't strong enough, but the kind and beautiful proprietress helped us get more, and she felt better within a day! 🫡 She even made it up to 4506 meters the next day – my mom is amazing! 🫡
On the day she had altitude sickness, we stayed in the room all day, napping, waking up to look at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain outside the window, or watching movies on the projector. Sometimes we'd even connect to the Marshall speaker and blast some music. When we felt better, we'd go downstairs to walk around the spacious courtyard and play with the cute dog. And food was never a concern – the adorable little chef always prepared delicious meals, plus there were beautiful afternoon teas and sweet soups in the evening. 🥰 Although it's a guesthouse, its 'wild luxury' positioning offered a much better 'home-like' experience than a typical hotel. 😘
The guesthouse is right at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It's a 30-minute drive to the entrance of the scenic area, 30 minutes to Lijiang Old Town, 40 minutes to Lashihai (a bit far 👎), 20 minutes to Shuhe Ancient Town, 10 minutes to Baisha Ancient Town (close! 👎), and 20 minutes to Yuhu Village. 👍
The proprietress is incredibly thoughtful and capable, the owner's tea is fragrant and brewed with calm expertise, their handsome friend helps with luggage and makes great coffee, the sweet chef consistently puts 'heart' into every meal, and the auntie who cleans daily pays attention to every detail, earning extra points. 🥰🥰🥰
It was truly a fantastic experience! 🫶
