Shaxi Changleli Homestay

The hotel owner has impeccable taste. A one-night stay here allowed me to fully appreciate the exquisite charm of Chinese aesthetics. The teahouse located behind the hotel is also definitely worth a visit, with excellent feng shui! I'll definitely be back. Yunnan Jiama Experience: Very interesting and highly recommended!

As a frequent traveler, Changle Li Guesthouse felt wonderfully warm, natural, and poetic. The classical decor and comprehensive facilities created a perfect ambiance. I drifted off to sleep under a canopy of stars and woke up to the soothing chirping of insects. The breakfast was uniquely delightful, and the service was exceptionally thoughtful. Behind the guesthouse, Kuidou Teahouse is a protected cultural heritage site, where one can burn incense, savor tea, and even practice calligraphy. I'll definitely be staying for a month next time!

What a wonderfully comfortable and pleasantly surprising guesthouse! Blending a traditional Bai ethnic courtyard with Chinese aesthetics, it creates a serene and profound atmosphere. The owner, a refined millennial, keeps the courtyard beautifully maintained, and the cleanliness is impeccable. It's the kind of place you'll never want to leave.

The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful. The B&B owner is incredibly thoughtful; they'll even drive you from the guesthouse to the old town, and car rental services are available upon departure. Our stay was incredibly pleasant and relaxing. Highly recommended!

This is a wonderfully comfortable place with a fantastic environment and a particularly serene courtyard, making it perfect for a long-term stay. It's a real pity we couldn't stay longer this time. We'll definitely choose to stay here again if we return to Shaxi. The owner was incredibly kind and even provided transport to the town. The breakfast was delicious; we especially loved the fresh milk and Ersi noodles. Plus, their little cat is absolutely adorable! Facilities: Everything was in excellent condition. Yunnan Jiamazhi (paper art) Experience: This was a really nice activity, but be prepared for it to take a long time to dry. Some of our pieces still hadn't fully dried even after leaving them overnight. Cleanliness: Spotlessly clean. Highly recommend staying here!

I truly regret not booking this guesthouse for a couple more days. For just 300 RMB, it offered incredible comfort and value. Given its exquisite design and amenities, if this place were in Dali, it would easily cost 800-900 RMB per night, if not more. It's conveniently located near the ancient town, nestled in Changle Village. This unique and tranquil Bai-style courtyard features a beautiful traditional Chinese garden. The lawn in the courtyard was exceptionally well-kept, lush and verdant. There's also a friendly resident cat named 'Mobao' who is very affectionate towards people. The dining area was stunningly designed. Sitting at the tea platform, you overlook a pastoral landscape, allowing you to sip tea while enjoying the distant blue skies and white clouds. You'll also find traditional calligraphy sets (brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone) and books readily available throughout the property. It's the first time I've ever encountered a room with actual, usable calligraphy tools. The milk served with breakfast is freshly milked and incredibly fresh and delicious! The owner, while an introvert, is remarkably warm and welcoming. They have a wonderful way of matching your energy – whether you're quiet or outgoing, the interaction feels just right, haha~ Chatting over tea with the owner, time just flew by. If you have the time, I highly recommend staying for a week to truly unwind and soak in the slow pace of Shaxi Ancient Town.
