After staying at several homestays in Lijiang, Yueshan instantly made me a fan on the spot! Hidden beside Shuhe Ancient Town, this tranquil courtyard lets you avoid the crowds while enjoying panoramic views of the snow mountains. Three days and two nights are simply not enough to stay here 😭
🔑 Detail lovers rejoice! Experience a five-star stay
The 3rd-floor family room I chose left me speechless! With 40㎡ of space, you can easily open a 28-inch suitcase anywhere. The mix of natural wood furniture and white sheer curtains lets sunlight filter through wooden lattices, dancing on the floor like ballet. The best part is the whole-house smart system—just lie in bed and say "Xiaodu, open the curtains," perfect for the lazy ones.
🛏️ The bedding is as soft as sinking into clouds; you won’t want to get up until you naturally wake! The bathroom details are top-notch: heated smart toilet seat is a winter blessing, the custom toiletries leave a luxurious scent, and even a Laifen hairdryer is provided—long-haired ladies can dry their hair in 5 minutes, super convenient. Clean freaks must praise the daily housekeeping that doesn’t miss a speck of dust, and the hidden humidifier saves you from Lijiang’s dry weather.
🚶♀️ Walkable hidden gems! No need to squeeze into crowded tourist spots
5-minute walk to Shuhe Ancient Town: avoid the main street and explore small alleys to find century-old courtyards and local handmade shops.
8 minutes to Jiuding Longtan: the pond water is emerald green like jade, and the morning mist adds a magical vibe. Walk along the boardwalk to Sanyanjing and see locals living their daily lives here.
• 10 minutes to Hali Valley: green tiles, red walls, and stone paths make for stunning photos.
If you don’t want to go out, just stay at the homestay! Lie on the rooftop terrace chairs watching the changing snow mountains, have afternoon tea in the café, and stargaze at night—the healing vibes are off the charts.
💡 Tested Tips! Avoid pitfalls and stay worry-free
1. Choose a 3rd-floor room for easier access to the rooftop viewing platform and wider views.
2. Book in advance, definitely.
3. Walk 5 minutes to "Dazhaimen" in the ancient town for mushroom hotpot that’s so fresh it’ll blow your mind.
4. The homestay offers airport transfers (extra charge applies). It’s a convenient 50-minute drive from Sanyi Airport.
