Once you stay at the panoramic resort hotel in Lijiang Old Town, you'll want to extend your stay!
This time, I blindly chose GRAND JOLI Dàměi Huásù · Shānzhī Yuàn|Lijiang Old Town Sifang Street Panoramic Resort Hotel · Shanyuan Café, and it was such a wonderful surprise! The location is right in the heart of the old town, just a 5-minute walk to the Big Waterwheel and Sifang Street, yet the hotel itself is quiet and private, perfectly solving the "too noisy" problem of staying in the old town.
🏯 Hotel Environment:
Built in the traditional Naxi courtyard style with wooden structures full of charm. The room I stayed in had a viewing terrace where you can lie down and enjoy panoramic views of the old town and the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Especially at dusk, the intertwined lights of the old town and the snowy mountain are truly healing~
💁 Service Experience:
I really have to praise the butler service! Upon check-in, there were welcome fruits and Pu'er tea, and at night they even brought goodnight desserts (the flower cakes are super delicious). The front desk lady was super nice, recommending many off-the-beaten-path eateries and photo spots, and even helped plan our sightseeing routes.
🛏️ Accommodation Experience:
The room facilities are very modern, with everything you need including a humidifier. The bedding is especially comfortable, and the cleanliness is meticulous. My favorite part is the tea bar in the room—after a day of exploring the old town, brewing a cup of tea is just so relaxing~
📸 Recommended Photo Spots:
- Rooftop Terrace: Be sure to come up at sunset for a 360° unobstructed panoramic view of the old town
- Courtyard Garden: Various flowers and greenery, perfect for taking stunning photos
- Café: You must try their Yunnan small bean coffee
📍 Address: No. 64, Shuangshi Section, Xinhua Street (only a 5-minute walk from the Big Waterwheel)
💡 Tips: Be sure to book in advance during peak season, their scenic view rooms often sell out!
