Hidden Lijiang｜Qiye Guesthouse

Amid the lively and poetic atmosphere of Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang, there is a secret guesthouse called Qiye Manyu 🌿.

Stepping inside feels like entering a fusion painting of Jiangnan and Naxi cultures. Walls built with gray-white bricks and stones, Chinese-style details with black tile eaves, paired with a courtyard featuring flowing water and rugged rock formations—every step is a frame of elegant Eastern aesthetics 📸.

The rooms are full of surprises: wooden lattice windows exude rustic charm, soft paper lamps cast warm light, and opening the window reveals lush greenery, embracing both the tranquility of the ancient town and the freshness of nature 😌. Soaking in the bathtub with a copy of Traveler magazine by your side, all the fatigue of the journey melts away in this moment ✨.

At leisure, sit on the rattan chair in the courtyard, watch the azaleas bloom passionately, listen to the rustling of the wind through the greenery; or sit by the small table by the window, sipping tea in the light and shadow, letting time flow slowly... This kind of laziness is exactly how a vacation in an ancient town should be 🍵.

It’s just a short walk from the guesthouse to Sifang Street and Qinglong Bridge in Shuhe Ancient Town, allowing you to immerse yourself in Naxi culture while always being able to escape back to this quiet little world.

If you also want to find a “hidden retreat in the city” in Lijiang, Qiye Manyu is definitely the place your heart belongs to 💖. Come here, turn your days into poetry, and write your journey into a romantic chapter~
