Mountain View Hotels in Jianchuan

I stayed here for four or five days straight, and it was truly wonderful! The shower had a huge overhead rainfall showerhead with great water pressure, and the room's soundproofing was excellent. Every morning, the landlady would prepare a lovely breakfast. The entire building probably only has six or seven rooms. There were too many people taking photos in the scenic area, so I ended up taking all my pictures downstairs at the guesthouse – they turned out great! The owner can offer pick-up and drop-off to Shaxi Ancient Town (it's very close), or you can use the guesthouse's electric scooter for free. The hotel's location is convenient for getting anywhere, and there's also free parking for cars, which was a lifesaver since we drove all the way from Dali Airport!

I stayed here with my dad and we emotionally booked for two nights and then we ended up extending our trip to 3 nights because we loved it so much! The owner is very kind and she has a super cute dog. They also have a koy fish pond. In general the hotel is very beautiful. Breakfast is also good and they give plenty of food. I highly recommend this hotel.

The fact that the house itself is a historical site pales in comparison to the hotel's service. It's clear they strive for perfection. The toiletries provided are the same as those in Bulgari hotels, and they even offer more daily essentials like a backup power bank, sunglasses, sunscreen, a sun umbrella, and a travel bag. I was also quite surprised to find a whole sea cucumber in the rice noodles served for breakfast 😄. Most importantly, it's the service mindset. Service in Yunnan is generally unrefined; even the famous 'Yang X Ping Art Hotel' offers a very rustic kind of service. This is the only place where I've experienced boutique hotel-level service.

This guesthouse has a story to tell. There's a 530-year-old ancient tree right by the entrance, home to a family of squirrels. As soon as I entered the room, I found a pair of chestnut-dyed cloth squirrels placed on the bed. Lying on the third-floor bed, the old tree glowed with life under the setting sun. The indigo-dyed soft couch on the terrace made me fall in love with Yunnan's sunshine, and the abundant flowers and plants everywhere showed the owner's passion for life. The guesthouse manager and the young lady's tea and dishes were unforgettable; that elegant, down-to-earth charm makes me want to return to this place again and again.

First, I chose this hotel because of its natural countryside scenery and the design of traditional Bai ethnic houses. Living in the ancient town is too noisy and overly commercial. This place is close to the ancient town, close to the lives of Bai villagers, and allows me to enjoy the breeze and scenery of the countryside. Second, there's a flat parking lot, which is very suitable for low-lying cars. Also, the owner is very kind and I have access to the kitchen, which is great for those who often eat out and sometimes want to cook. Time is limited this time, so I plan to stay for two weeks if possible.

I enjoyed my stay a lot at the hotel. It is only a few years old. The courtyard is amazing with the pond with fish and gorgeous water lilies. All the staff were attentive and helpful. They helped me get a shared taxi to my next destination. I stayed there on a marketday too, on a Friday. The market is just up the road from the hotel - a ten-minute walk. I was at the market early (too early, about 8:30) and they were still setting up. I drank it all in though and walked up and down about 4 times until noon. The hotel is not in the ancient town itself but about 20 minutes away on foot. The hotel owner has a kind of golf cart and can drive guests up and down. The town of Shaxi is delightful with its beautiful square and streets. Worth staying more than one night. I also went to the Buddhist caves at Shibaoshan this is about 30 minutes away.

It was super convenient to get back to the hotel after exploring the ancient town. The design is really impressive, with a natural wood and Song Dynasty-inspired aesthetic that perfectly matches Shaxi's rustic charm. The courtyard with its flowing water, wooden corridors, and the gentle, Zen-like atmosphere as soon as you open the door is just lovely 🍃. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bedding was so soft, and the bathroom facilities were convenient and clean. After a shower, curling up in bed and watching 'Meet Yourself' just melted away all the day's fatigue. There's 24-hour butler service and afternoon tea upon check-in – sipping tea, listening to the wind, and watching the fish play in the pond amidst the misty atmosphere was truly relaxing 🐟. Waking up early, enjoying breakfast, and then just gazing out the window at the scenery, listening to the wind and rain, is truly living that slow-paced 'wind-filled' life.

We really really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would absolutely recommend it. The property is immaculately clean and decorated with great taste and style. Our room was also very beautiful, spacious and comfortable. As for breakfast, they serve delicious local food. The hospitality was a highlight of our trip. The owner is incredibly helpful and was always available via WeChat. He assisted us with renting an electric scooter, arranged rides into the center of Shaxi, and even organized our private transfer to Lijiang. He also invited us to share some tea with him at the local tea house, which was a very nice touch. The rest of the staff were equally polite, nice and welcoming. The location is ideal, just a 10-minute walk from Shaxi, meaning you can enjoy a quiet environment away from the main bustle. The walk into town is very scenic, taking you through a beautiful path surrounded by fields and rice paddies. Overall, an amazing experience! We would stay here again without hesitation.

The courtyard is absolutely beautiful! My sister recommended this place, and it truly is stunning. It's even more delightful in person, and the room was spotlessly clean with all the necessary disposables. My friend and I didn't bring much, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that the toiletries were from well-known brands, making us feel very comfortable and at ease. In the mornings, some tourists would take photos by the courtyard entrance, but the owner would politely ask them to keep their voices down so as not to disturb our rest. We even locked ourselves out late at night, and the owner, being incredibly kind, came out to help us open the door. Honestly, it's just a fantastic place, I loved it and will definitely be back!

A fantastic experience, the most satisfying guesthouse I stayed at during my Yunnan trip. The decor was thoughtful, a blend of vintage and rustic styles, with freshly picked wildflowers in the room. The room layout was very practical. There was a small courtyard, and the rooms had large floor-to-ceiling windows offering expansive views of the fields and mountains. It's a little distance from the ancient town, but not far, and the owner helps arrange shared bikes, making it convenient to get around the surrounding area. The owner prepared the breakfast himself, and it was delicious. Staying here was incredibly relaxing; I was completely satisfied! 👍
