Shangri-La Yijushe: A Simple Cozy Nest Next to the Ancient Town, Comfortable and Worry-Free to Stay

Shangri-La Yijushe: Stay Here and Check In at All the Popular Landmarks! Choosing the right homestay can save you half the travel guide for your Shangri-La trip! Yijushe is tucked away in a quiet alley of Dukezong Ancient Town, just a 5-minute walk to the giant prayer wheel in Guishan Park, and right at the doorstep of the lively Moonlight Square. Starting from here, popular attractions like Songzanlin Monastery and Napa Lake are all within a comfortable travel circle, truly allowing you to "relax and enjoy all the sights" 🌿 📍 Walk to Unlock 3 Core Landmarks, Experience Ancient Town Life with Ease The homestay’s location is the "center stage" of the ancient town, so no worries about rushing around: - A 3-minute stroll to Moonlight Square, where you can join Tibetan ladies dancing the Guozhuang dance at dusk, watch colorful costumes flow under the lights, and breathe in the fresh pine scent in the evening breeze; - Just around the corner is Guishan Park. Walk up the stone steps to capture panoramic views of the ancient town’s green-tiled roofs. The prayer wheel at the top requires several people to push, and while praying, you can easily snap atmospheric photos; - Exploring Dukezong Ancient Town is even more convenient. From the homestay, you can walk the main street in 10 minutes, with Tibetan handicraft shops and freshly grilled yak meat skewers everywhere. When tired, just return to the homestay for a rest, enjoy a cup of hot tea, and set off again without any rush. 🚗 Reach 4 Must-Visit Spots Within 1.5 Hours, Easy and Efficient Itinerary Using the homestay as a hub, all distant popular attractions are easily accessible, and the host provides detailed travel tips in advance: - Songzanlin Monastery: The homestay arranges a 30-minute private car ride directly there. The host specially marks the rear mountain viewing platform, where at 2 PM the side light perfectly frames the red walls, golden roofs, and barley fields, fully capturing the solemnity of the "Little Potala Palace"; - Napa Lake: A 1-hour drive to the lakeside road. Renting an electric bike from the homestay is very cost-effective. In summer, watch cattle and sheep roam through flower seas; in winter, observe migratory birds skimming the lake. Navigating to "Hamu Valley Village" lets you capture the "Sky Mirror" effect where water and sky merge; - Shika Snow Mountain: A 40-minute drive straight to the scenic area. The homestay pre-books tickets, and taking the cable car up offers breathtaking views of eight connected snow-capped peaks. Coming back down to rest at the homestay fits perfectly with dinner time; - Tiger Leaping Gorge: A 1.5-hour drive to the upper gorge. The host reminds you to wear non-slip shoes and bring a jacket (the canyon is windy). Standing on the viewing platform, watch the river rush below. After tiring yourself out, return to the homestay to rest without any rush. 🏡 Simple and Comfortable "Highland Nest," Every Detail Brings Peace of Mind The homestay has no flashy decorations but hides comfort in every detail: the public area features a wooden tea table where you can bask in the afternoon sun sipping sweet tea and chat with the owner about Tibetan stories; rooms are spacious and bright, with floor heating warm enough to run barefoot. The intelligent oxygen bar system and humidifier are on 24/7, completely eliminating highland dryness and altitude sickness anxiety. If you choose a room with a view, opening the window reveals the ancient town rooftops. Watch sunlight spill over the eaves in the morning and enjoy thousands of lights at dusk—so cozy you won’t want to leave. 💌 Thoughtful Butler Service, Worry-Free to the Point of Being Moved From the moment you check in, you are well cared for: the front desk offers warm sweet tea to ease altitude sickness, the host handwrites a "popular spots checklist," highlighting the best photo spots at Songzanlin Monastery and shortcuts around Napa Lake; for authentic local food, they recommend Tibetan restaurants in the ancient town, and the homestay’s afternoon tea is surprisingly good, with yak jerky paired with barley cakes that get tastier the more you chew. You can even borrow Tibetan robes from the homestay for photos at Songzanlin Monastery, adding atmosphere without extra rental fees. 📸 Homestay + Attraction Photo Guide, Beautiful Shots Guaranteed - Guishan Park Prayer Wheel: Capture the moment of pushing the wheel with the ancient town panorama in the background, full of storytelling vibes; - Napa Lake Lakeside Road: Ride an electric bike through meadows with cattle, sheep, and snow mountains as the backdrop—every shot is a healing scene; - Homestay Terrace: Shoot the ancient town sunset at dusk, warm light spilling on green tiles, full of gentle charm; - Songzanlin Monastery Red Walls: Lean against the red wall wearing a Tibetan robe, shoot with side light for a high-end look that pops off the screen.
