Yunshang Xiyuan

I discovered a hidden gem in Lijiang: a homestay right beside the South Gate of the Ancient Town, next to Zhongyi Market. From the roadside drop‑off, it’s just a one‑minute walk. The owners even bring a cart to carry your luggage, sparing you the hassle of dragging bags over cobblestones. The décor is a charming, rustic ancient‑town style, and the rooms are brand new, each with a quiet private courtyard perfect for relaxing. The two furry stars—a Great Pyrenees weighing 120 jin at only 8 months (he’s lazy but will “pick up” guests on request) and a Maine Coon cat—are massive yet gentle, so feel free to pet them. Breakfast is included, simple but tasty. I stayed for three consecutive days, enjoyed a complimentary airport drop‑off, and the two young owners were warm and helpful. The whole three‑day stay was thoroughly pleasant. If you’re heading to Lijiang, this place is definitely worth staying at.

We spent a single night there with family and loved every bit of it. My daughter adored the cat and dog, while I was blown away by the rooftop view. My husband chatted a lot with the host and really enjoyed his company. The host took us to a tea house, which was a lovely experience. We’re only sorry we stayed just one night; we’d love to return on our next trip and stay longer. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!

A Rare Gem in Lijiang – Better Than Any International Hotel。Having traveled to over 10 countries and stayed in 20+ hotels and homestays in the past couple of years, I rarely feel compelled to write reviews. However, Yunshang Xiyuan is an exception that I truly wanted to share.The property itself is top-notch. The rooms feature high-end international appliances, tasteful design, and premium bedding that ensures a great night’s sleep. But what really sets this place apart is the host. The interaction was warm and friendly, making me feel genuinely cared for, yet they perfectly balanced this with respect for my privacy. It’s a delicate touch that standard hotels simply can’t replicate.The location is also a huge plus. It’s tucked away in a quiet alley, yet just a 2-3 minute walk to Zhongyi Night Market, Bailong Square, and the Old Town entrance.A special mention to the two dogs—they are absolute stars! Friendly and sweet without being overly enthusiastic.I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Lijiang. If you are looking for a place with character and warmth, this is the one

Honestly, this is the most satisfying and warmest private hotel I've ever stayed at in China. I always felt a special sense of warmth, as if staying in a close friend’s home rather than a hotel. Daily, someone genuinely asked where I’d been, what I’d seen, how my trip was going, and if I needed anything—this sincere care made me feel incredibly comfortable. Each morning they served a rich, delicious coffee with delicate rose‑jam pastries. The breakfast staple was noodles with distinctive Chinese ethnic characteristics, and sipping coffee while enjoying pastries felt like a beautiful start to the day. The two dogs were simply adorable, adding warmth and joy to the whole experience. The room details left a deep impression: a small drying rack for small items, disposable towels, soft bathrobes, thick slippers, and protective covers for the toilet and bathtub—convenient and hygienic. At check‑in, a handsome young man personally welcomed me, helped carry my luggage, and wore a friendly, sincere smile the whole time. In short, this is not just a hotel; it’s a place that makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, and well taken care of. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely stay here again if I ever have the chance.
