Jijian Xiangwang｜Experience a Day as a Quiet Artisan Beneath Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

In Lijiang, beyond exploring the ancient town and admiring the snow-capped mountains, you can immerse yourself in a deeper cultural experience. At Jijian Xiangwang Hotel, under the watchful gaze of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, spend a day as a heritage artisan. Let the ancient wisdom of the Naxi people flow through your fingertips and take home a unique piece of local memory.

🌄 Stay in a Poetic Space by the Snow Mountain and Lake

Nestled at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the hotel offers breathtaking views of the majestic snow peaks in the distance, a panoramic view of Lijiang, and a serene lake that softens the scenery. Here, there’s no need to rush—slow down and synchronize your rhythm with the land.

🧵 Heritage Crafts: Bringing Naxi Culture to Life Through Your Hands

"Heritage Tie-Dye": A Thousand-Year Romance in Blue and White

Follow a Naxi master to learn the art of tie-dyeing. Start by tying the fabric, design your own patterns, and then immerse the cloth into an indigo dye vat. Watch as the once plain white fabric gradually absorbs shades of blue, resembling the shifting clouds over Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. When you unfold the fabric, you’ll understand the weight of the phrase, "Every piece of tie-dye is a unique work of art."

"Wamao Crafting": The Blessing of the Naxi Guardian Beast

Wamao, the "sacred beast" of the Naxi people, is both endearing and powerful. Shape its form from clay, paint it with spiritual patterns, and after firing, it becomes your personal guardian. Take it home as a cherished token of Naxi blessings.

"Stone Rubbing": An Ancient Technique to Capture Time

Brush ink onto a stone slab, lay paper over it, and tap gently. When you peel back the paper, Naxi Dongba script or ancient patterns emerge vividly, as if touching the cultural threads of a thousand years ago. Frame it, and you’ll have a textured piece of heritage art.

"Botanical Dyeing": Preserving the Romance of Snow Mountain Flora

Pick fresh flowers and plants from the hotel’s garden, arrange them on fabric, and gently hammer them. The plant juices seep into the cloth, leaving natural colors and textures. Each piece is a "limited edition" collaboration between you and nature.

"Handmade Soap": Infusing the Purity of the Snow Mountain into Soap

Craft soap using natural ingredients. Watching a cute, fragrant bar of soap come to life in your hands makes every handwash or bath a delightful ritual.

🍵 Local Living: From Crafts to Cuisine, an Immersive Naxi Experience

After crafting, sit by the window to watch the clouds drift over the snow mountain and the shimmering lake. Chat with the masters about Dongba culture. The hotel’s meals are also rich in local flavors—Naxi copper hotpot, fresh local vegetables—every bite is a taste of Lijiang.
