Looking for a tranquil retreat in Lijiang Ancient Town? Jiyu Homestay is definitely worth adding to your favorites list! ✨

This hidden gem of a homestay, nestled next to Mu's Residence, boasts the strategic advantage of being "a 3-minute walk to Zhongyi Market." After slurping down some local chicken rice noodles in the morning, you can easily stroll into the ancient town for a leisurely wander. ～ 🏡 Homestay Highlights at a Glance • Super Convenient Location | No. 20 Guangbi Alley, Guangyi Street. Turn a corner and you're at Mu's Residence scenic area. With the hand-drawn map provided by the housekeeper, you can easily explore core attractions like Sifang Street and Wuyi Alley. • Healing Courtyard | A Naxi courtyard surrounded by hydrangeas and succulents, with the sound of flowing water accompanying your afternoon tea. Smart toilets + floor heating are a lifesaver for autumn/winter travelers. • Heavenly Service | Free airport shuttle + luggage handling. The complimentary sweet soup every evening is even more thoughtful than a boyfriend. 🌿 My Stay Experience (Musings) I thought homestays in the ancient town would be noisy, but it was so quiet at night I could hear the wind chime! My favorite was the second-floor viewing terrace; you don't need to squeeze into a trendy cafe to capture the morning glow over the tiled roofs. The daily breakfast was absolutely delightful: Naxi grandma's freshly made rose jam crispy buns, paired with highland coffee to start a perfect day. ～ 💡 Recommended Activities Nearby • Zhongyi Market Morning Market (3-minute walk): Go at 7:00 AM to grab freshly harvested matsutake mushrooms. The pea jelly with fried dough sticks on the second floor is amazing. • Mu's Residence Night Tour (8-minute walk): After 6 PM, tickets are half price. Wanjuan Tower under the lights is perfect for Hanfu photos. • Hidden Homestay Services: You can book shared rides to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain or a dedicated line to Lugu Lake. The housekeeper can help you negotiate prices that are 20% cheaper than platforms. ⚠️ Practical Tips 1. The cobblestone streets of the ancient town are not suitcase-friendly. Contact the housekeeper in advance to arrange a tricycle pickup. 2. The UV rays at high altitudes are strong. Sunscreen spray is available for borrowing in the room. 3. When booking during the off-season, remember to request "a courtyard full of hydrangeas" – every photo will be wallpaper-worthy.
