On days when the sky is as clear as a wash, sunlight lazily spills over the mottled walls, and the sound of music and laughter echoes from deep within the alley. Walking through the bustling market, I casually pick up a string of bright red peppers and exchange a few words with the vendor, feeling a warmth in my heart. A cat stretches lazily under the eaves, and the melodious sound of an old man's flute at the street corner in the morning makes one take a deep breath, inhaling the simple happiness into the chest. The nights in Lijiang have a unique charm. The lights of the ancient town are soft and warm, reflecting on the cobblestones like the fine sand of time slowly flowing. When tired, I lodge at a guesthouse by the mountain stream. The beauty there exceeds any expectations.

Me and my wife are from Singapore and we stayed at this hotel in March. Our three days stay at 山岚溪畔 was nothing short of exceptional.

The service provided by the staff was truly outstanding; they went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was perfect. The room we stayed in was simply amazing, with breathtaking views overlooking the enchanting Lijiang ancient city. Waking up to such a picturesque scene each morning was a highlight of our trip. The hotel's facilities were top-notch, offering everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We were consistently impressed by the quality and cleanliness of the amenities. What truly set this hotel apart, however, was the incredible staff. Not only were they super friendly and welcoming, but they also took the time to get to know us personally.

When my wife wasn't feeling well, the staff went out of their way to assist us. They not only escorted me to the pharmacy to pick up some medication but also made sure we had plenty of nourishing food to help her feel better. Their kindness and compassion during this time were truly touching. Lastly, we have to mention the incredible coffee art and delicious food served at the hotel cafe.
