For Li Xian, I'd happily stay in Shaxi every year, embracing the windswept landscapes.

Located on a gentle hillside just outside the heart of Shaxi Ancient Town, Shiran Shanshe Resort offers breathtaking panoramic views of idyllic countryside dotted with persimmon trees. The sweet fruit adds a delightful touch to the tranquil setting, while the town center is just a short 15-minute walk away, offering the perfect blend of peace and convenience.

The exterior of the guesthouse showcases classic Bai architecture, while the interior boasts an eclectic mix of styles, featuring an open-plan American-style kitchen and French-style lattice windows. Adorning the walls are paintings and charming trinkets collected from around the world, each with its own unique story.

Warm hues, soft lighting, and natural wood and stone accents create a welcoming and relaxing ambiance in the guest rooms. Thoughtful touches include handmade tea sets, local teas and snacks, and a Marshall speaker for an immersive audio experience while you get ready.

When you prefer to stay in, relax on the veranda, soak up the sun, or unwind in the dining area while watching TV. The guesthouse is impeccably clean and boasts exceptional service. Breakfast offers both Western and Chinese options, which you can pre-order with the staff the day before. And don't miss the afternoon tea, featuring delicious homemade cakes prepared by the owner herself.
