Hidden Gem: Huazhu·Yinlu Guesthouse - A Poetic Retreat in Lijiang Old Town

This time, I chose to stay at the Huazhu·Yinlu Guesthouse in Lijiang Old Town and was completely captivated by its poetic ambiance! Nestled in a quiet alley of the ancient town, the guesthouse features gray-tiled roofs, white walls, and wooden decor that exude a strong Naxi ethnic charm. Upon entering, the courtyard greets you with blooming bougainvillea, a delicate tea table paired with rustic wooden chairs, instantly washing away the fatigue of travel. The rooms retain the traditional Naxi architectural style while being equipped with modern amenities. The combination of wooden furniture and cotton-linen bedding creates a cozy and laid-back atmosphere. The highlight is the Yunnan small-bean coffee, hand-brewed by the owner, which is a unique delight to savor under the sunlight. Waking up to the sound of birds in the morning, you’re just a five-minute walk from Sifang Street. The guesthouse also offers free Naxi cultural tours, adding depth to your stay. If you want to experience the most authentic lifestyle aesthetics of Lijiang, the Yinlu Guesthouse is definitely worth a special visit!
