Qiye Manyu: An Elegant Wild Charm Secret Spot in Shuhe Ancient Town
In Lijiang’s Shuhe Ancient Town, Qiye Manyu Guesthouse is a secret place that blends the ancient Naxi charm with modern elegance into poetry.
Stepping into the guesthouse, the Naxi architecture with blue tiles and gray bricks complements the redwood pillars, while red leaves and green plants adorn the stone paths in the courtyard, creating a scene of refined Chinese aesthetics at every step. Inside the rooms, the intensity of artistic paintings contrasts with the warmth of wooden furniture, and the curved wooden frame around the bathtub area seems to embrace the natural curve into a private space. Opening the window reveals the ancient town’s flying eaves and distant mountain clouds, offering a panoramic view while lying down.
The public area is even more delightful. In the dining area surrounded by bamboo groves, hemp rope pendant lights and fabric soft furnishings create the atmosphere of a mountain wild secret house; placing a rattan chair on the terrace frames the distant mountains and the texture of the ancient town like a natural painting. Drinking tea and daydreaming, time slows down.
It lets you dive into the lively Shuhe street life, tasting a bowl of local chicken rice noodles; and also escape into the quiet wilderness, healing body and mind in the fusion of art and nature. Come to Qiye Manyu, and turn your stay in Shuhe’s day and night into a dream where wild charm and elegance coexist.
