Operated by the local Nakhi people and enjoying a history of 15 years, Mama Naxi Guesthouse is a family-style hostel offering cosy accommodation in Lijiang. Free WiFi is accessible in all areas.

Lijiang Ancient Town is an 11-minute walk from Mama Naxi Guesthouse. Lijiang Railway Station is an 18-minute drive away. Lijiang Sanyi Airport is 20 km from the property. A very comfortable, homey place, close to the Ancient town but in a less touristy neighborhood full of eateries. The manager was extremely helpful in helping me to book a bus for the gorge hike. They also let me store my luggage on the night of the hike.

At the guest house, all units come with a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and slippers, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi, while selected rooms are equipped with a patio. At the guest house, every unit includes bed linen and towels. We had a wonderful stay at Timeless Inn. On arrival we were greeted with fresh tea and snacks. Our host Rose was very responsive to our needs as guests, especially when our daughter was not feeling well. She made our stay special, making us feel like friends or family that were visiting. Rose served us both Asian and Western breakfast depending on the day, both were delicious. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable, very clean. We enjoyed to hang out in the dining room and the he 2nd floor balcony. We highly recommend Rose's place if you visit Shangri-la.

This recently renovated guest house is located 5.1 km from Yu'er Park and 5.2 km from Dali Foreigner Street. The guest house has family rooms.

The room was cozy, impeccably clean。The location was also ideal, close enough to explore nearby attractions but still peaceful and relaxing. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, which is really convenient. Strongly recommended!

Featuring a garden and views of mountain, 山田心精品民宿 Valley Heart Inn is a recently renovated guest house located in Lijiang, less than 1 km from Nanmen Bridge. The property features river and garden views, and is 1.1 km from Zhongyi Market. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. A wonderful homestay with warm, helpful owners who shared great local tips and thoughtfully arranged a ground-floor room for my elderly parents. Everything was excellent—just note that vehicle access can be a bit challenging due to the narrow road, and a short walk from the main road is required.
