Lijiang Ancient City · Yihe Shuyuan · Light Luxury Tea Yun Homestay

The hospitality is absolutely great for this hotel! It is located strategically where you only need a few mins walk to reach the hotel. Also, this hotel only has 6 rooms where the owner will help you with everything. They even help you to carry the luggage from check in to check out, recommend places for you to go, bring you a room tour, prepare breakfast for you based on your needs. The owner said that this hotel is specifically designed and well planned amenities. A very comfortable stay for me and my wife! Hope we could stay more days! Highly recommended if you are coming to Lijiang Ancient City

This hotel was an absolute delight to stay at. The design is cozy, stylish, and thoughtfully put together, creating a clean and relaxing atmosphere. The room was spotless and very comfortable. What truly made our stay exceptional was the incredibly kind and accommodating owner. He generously upgraded our room for free, which was such a pleasant surprise. Since we had an early schedule the next morning, he even prepared fresh milk and bread for us the day before, which was a really thoughtful gesture. On the day we checked out, we had to leave very early again, and the owner kindly woke up around 6 AM just to help us with our luggage. You can really feel the genuine care and warmth here. It’s rare to find such hospitality, and we truly appreciated every part of our stay. I highly recommend this hotel – it’s not just a place to sleep, it’s an experience that makes you feel at home. Will definitely return!

Had a great stay at Yihe Shuyuan. Location is very good, rooms were very clean, and the place was recently renovated. The owners and staff are very friendly, hospitable and helpful. Had great tea drinking and chatting sessions with them and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will recommend this place to anyone visiting Lijiang. A truly unique experience.

I have to say that this is definitely the best stay in LiJiang. First of all, the owners (husband and wife) were extremely friendly and helpful in all possible way they could. If you are a tea lover, you have to try out this place. They invite you for puer tea whenever they see you around, they even have a private tearoom which can be used at any time. One of the warmest acts was when they knew we were heading out for a day trip and they prepared apples, corns and snacks for us to bring along. Besides that, the location is very convenient as it is located in LiJiang ancient town. I will definitely come back in future.

We traveled to Lijiang in January 2024 and had a chance to visit one homestay inside Lijiang Old Town and loved. We planned to go back to Lijiang again in April and were in searching for that homestay we visited last time. Unfortunately (actually fortunately), we could not find that place in any of the booking platforms. There were many homestays in Trip.com for our consideration and we narrowed down the search to 2 properties. Eventually, we decided to go for Ming He Shu Yuan – Light Luxury Tea Yun Homestay and we have never regretted we choose to stay there. Our plan was to stay for 2 nights. We then decided to reserve 2 different types of room to experience the differences. The property owner called us to make sure the bookings were correct and explained the arrangement to move our belongings from room to another. Even though it was almost dark, they were expecting us in front of the street and managed to tow our luggage on a bumpy Lijiang walkways. We were welcomed by traditional Yunnan tea and walked us to a spacious and comfortable room which was far nice than was shown in the website. The owner sister, Kongshujing, led us the way to the old town in worried of us getting lost here and there. They prepared a bag full of needed breakfast for us to be able to leave early in the morning and made sure our luggage would be moved to another room before we came back. The second night we stayed in another room type which was again higher than our expectations in all aspects. We were astonished by its nice ambient, designs, and layout of this homestay and rooms we stayed. The house was of course beautiful with nice decoration. The rooms were comfortable with homey-modern style. The furniture and bathroom accessories were well considerate and user-friendly. The automatic room control system has greatly surprised us indeed. Lastly, we enjoyed the breakfast served inside the tea room. Trillion thanks to the hospitality with every single details provided. We totally fell in love with your house and will definitely be back.

This is a gem of a hotel. The location is excellent and while located within the old town, is just a 2 min walk from a taxi pick up point. Lijiang old town is traffic free so this is not the case for many other hotels. Rooms are spacious, clean and tastefully renovated. Breakfast is home cooked and very tasty. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.
