Encountering a Poetic and Picturesque Secret in Lijiang

In the time folds of Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang, Qiye Manyu is a secret place that embodies the "poetry and distant places"🏡.

The collision of blue-gray bricks and wooden structures creates a unique architectural aesthetic, with flying eaves and upturned corners hiding the rustic Naxi style, while stone walls and greenery evoke the elegance of a Jiangnan courtyard🌿. Every step inside is a surprise: whether it’s the vigorous growth of broad-leaved plants around the corner, or the warm texture of wooden stairs under bamboo-woven lampshades, the combination of Chinese flower vessels and rugged rock landscapes lets Zen flow naturally through the space.

The window lattice design in the guest rooms is especially thoughtful; opening the window reveals white walls covered with climbing ivy, framing both the lively scenes of the ancient town and the quietness of nature into a painting🖼️. The interior decor is even more stylish, with artistic paintings, cozy lighting, and casually placed dried flowers and aromatherapy, every detail telling the story of the homestay owner’s taste and care.

Here, you can daydream on the wooden platform in the courtyard, watching bamboo leaves sway in the wind; or slowly walk along the stone stairs, letting the shadows of the vine lamps dance on you. A short walk immerses you in the bustling Shuhe Ancient Town, yet you can always retreat to this tranquil spot, blending the ancient and modern to turn Lijiang’s slow time into your own exclusive memory✨.

If you also want to find a “hidden retreat in the city” in Shuhe, Qiye Manyu will surely be the reason you never want to leave💖~
