Situated within 300 metres of Guan Men Kou and less than 1 km of Loyalty Arch, Big Tree Guesthouse - Naxi old style features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Lijiang. With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. We would like to thank Big Tree Guesthouse – Naxi Old Style for an excellent stay. The owner speaks very good English and communicates easily through both WeChat and WhatsApp. He was always ready to help with anything we needed and provided us with useful information. The guesthouse is located in a quiet area right in the heart of Lijiang’s ancient city. The rooms are spacious and clean, the atmosphere is very pleasant, and the price is very reasonable. Since vehicles are not allowed inside the old city, someone kindly waited for us at the entrance and carried our luggage. At the end of our stay, as the room was not booked, the owner even allowed us a late checkout at no extra charge. We highly recommend this guesthouse!

Jacky's Guesthouse has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Yuanyang. The accommodation features room service, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests.

With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and slippers, rooms at the hostel also boast free WiFi, while some rooms include a mountain view. Jacky’s place was awesome and Jacky himself went above and beyond. He speaks English which is so helpful. He picked us up at the train station in Jianshui. His place was very nice and our room had a view of the terraces. He is also an excellent cook - we ate all but one meal there for the 2 days we stayed and each meal was exceptional. He gave us an itinerary for our half day in his village and we went in the rice terraces it was awesome. On our way out we were going to train to Xuishuangbanna but he said a bus would be way faster and dropped us at the bottom of the mountain to catch the bus. Would recommend to anyone.
