Sleeping in a 300-year-old cultural heritage ancient house on the Tea Horse Road in Lijiang, the slow life here is so healing

Before coming to Lijiang, I spent a long time researching accommodations and finally booked this place, "GRAND JOLI Dàměi Huásù・Mountain Courtyard." After staying here, I immediately wanted to extend my stay!! Listen to me, guys, you can't go wrong choosing this place 👏 First, the key point! This place was originally called "Li Family Courtyard," and the sign still says that, so don’t get confused~ It’s a Naxi ancient building cultural heritage site with over 300 years of history, built by Mr. Li Shengtang in the 7th year of the Republic of China. Walking inside is full of historical vibes, perfect for taking amazing photos 📸 The location is absolutely perfect! It’s between the Ancient Town entrance’s Big Waterwheel and Sifang Street, super convenient for visiting Lion Hill, Bar Street, and the Mu Residence without any detours! I leisurely head out every morning and can return to the hotel anytime when tired—so friendly for lazy people like me~ The guesthouse environment totally stole my heart! Built on the foundation of Naxi old architecture with added modern Eastern aesthetics, the wooden furniture paired with white ultra-minimalist style is super high-end! There are front, middle, and back courtyards; the middle and back courtyards are built on the hillside in a staggered layout. Standing in the courtyard, you can see the entire Lijiang Ancient Town panorama, especially at sunset when golden sunlight bathes the rooftops—so stunning it leaves you speechless 🌇 We stayed in one of the 18 rooms, with 9 room types to choose from. The room details are spot on, antique yet comfortable, and it’s especially quiet at night for a great sleep 💤 The check-in perks are surprisingly abundant! ▪ Every day comes with a super delicious breakfast to fuel your ancient town explorations~ ▪ "Lion Hill Cloud View" double afternoon tea set 🍰, enjoy the view while sipping tea in the scenic café, happiness maxed out! ▪ The room has a super mini bar with seasonal fruits and drinks available anytime, so thoughtful~ ▪ At night, there’s a goodnight sweet soup 🌙, a slow-cooked nourishing soup that warms you up and helps you sleep like a baby! ▪ You can taste 5 kinds of the hotel’s treasured Pu’er tea, a must-try for tea lovers~ ▪ Stay 3 nights and get airport transfers in Lijiang! We stayed exactly 3 nights, saving the hassle of taxis, super worry-free~ ▪ They also give a travel gift pack! Sleep spray, blackout eye mask, earplugs all included, detail lovers will be thrilled! ▪ Luggage transfer service from outside Dayan Ancient Town to the hotel, no need to carry your bags yourself, so touching 😭 ▪ Free high-energy glucose water provided, no worries about altitude sickness, super considerate! During the few days I stayed here, I was healed every day~ Waking up to sunshine in the morning, enjoying the breeze and tea in the courtyard at night, experiencing Naxi culture and slow living—this is the right way to enjoy Lijiang! Next time I come to Lijiang, I will definitely stay here again! Guys, when choosing accommodation in Lijiang, trust me, go for this "Li Family Courtyard" (Mountain Courtyard), you won’t regret it! Absolutely no risk!
