Naxi owner's smart courtyard, tea drinking and sightseeing very close to the ancient town

After hitting many pitfalls looking for a homestay in Lijiang Ancient Town, I finally found this "won't want to leave" treasure courtyard!!​ 📍Super location: Youxi Smart Courtyard Homestay (Lijiang Ancient Town Branch)​ Just search the address on navigation: No. 70, Jin Jia Lower Section, Jin Jia Neighborhood Committee, Xi’an Street, Gucheng District​ Only 400 meters from the southwest gate of Lijiang Ancient Town! No unnecessary walking when touring the ancient town, and very safe to return to the homestay at night~​ Big shoutout to the owner couple! Pure Naxi people, as warm as family!​ I came by car, and as soon as I arrived, they helped me carry my luggage and even proactively drew me a map for eating and sightseeing in the ancient town, clearly marking which state-run restaurant has authentic yak meat and which flower cake is popular among locals!​ No pretentiousness at all, patiently answering all questions, no over-promotion like some homestays, very comfortable to stay~​ Self-driving travelers will be thrilled! The homestay has its own exclusive parking space!​ Everyone knows how hard it is to find parking around the ancient town—either you circle around forever or it’s super expensive. Here, you can park right at the door, saving a lot of trouble and giving a strong sense of security!​ The courtyard is absolutely amazing! It’s like a small garden🌸​ Surrounded by blue tiles and white walls, planted with lots of bougainvillea and succulents, with rattan chairs and a tea table in the middle. In the morning, brew a cup of Yunnan Pu’er tea, bask in the sun, and watch the flowers in the courtyard—it feels like all fatigue is healed~​ And the homestay is smart! Lights and curtains can be voice-controlled, the attention to detail is top-notch, living in an old house with a sense of technology, the experience is fantastic!​ 💡Tips for staying here:​ Tell the owner in advance if you’re driving to reserve a parking spot​ Ask the owner to recommend local food to avoid tourist traps​ Be sure to drink tea and enjoy the scenery in the courtyard in the morning, it’s so comfortable!​ Honestly, I think this is a treasure homestay around Lijiang Ancient Town, high cost-performance and very comfortable to stay. Next time I come to Lijiang, I will definitely choose here again!

Old Town of Lijiang

🌿✨ Lost in Time — A Day in Lijiang Old Town 丽江古镇 ✨🌿 Stepping into Lijiang Old Town felt like walking through a dream — one where time moves slower, and every corner whispers a story 🌧️🏮. The air carried a faint scent of roasted coffee and grilled yak meat, blending with the rhythm of the cobblestone streets beneath my feet ☕🐂. Tiny streams flowed quietly between stone alleys, reflecting red lanterns that swayed gently in the afternoon breeze 💧❤️. I followed the sound of an old Naxi musician plucking his sanxian 🎶, his melody echoing softly against the wooden walls — ancient yet full of life. Every turn revealed something new: a shop selling handwoven scarves 🧣, an old couple smiling behind rows of silver jewelry 💍, a traveler sketching by the river with a cup of rose tea 🍵🌹. I couldn’t help but pause, just to breathe in that serenity — the kind you rarely find in big cities anymore 🌤️. As the sun set, the rooftops of Lijiang glowed in golden light ☀️🏔️. The whole town seemed to sparkle — the laughter of tourists, the aroma of hot pot rising in the cool evening air, the sound of distant music from a bar hidden down a narrow lane 🎸🍲. Later that night, I stood on the bridge overlooking the lights shimmering on the water 🌙✨. For a moment, I forgot about everything — deadlines, worries, noise. All that remained was the gentle heartbeat of Lijiang itself 💫. 📍丽江古镇 Lijiang Old Town — where time pauses, and the soul remembers how to wander. #TravelDiary #YunnanVibes #LijiangOldTown #WanderWithHeart 🌏💛
