Lijiang Ancient Town - Green Willows Inn.

I give 10 stars! Xiao Qu, the boss was very warm, friendly and really took a great care of us while we were staying there. He made us feel right at home. Before we arrive, he chatted with us to ask our whereabouts, sent the drop off location and to tell that he would pick us up. When we arrived, he handled our luggages, offered us tea and made the check in process very quick because we were tired from travelling all day. We also booked JDSM tour with him so that was very convenient for us. The view from the balcony was so breathtaking. The pictures didn’t do it justice. As for the room, everything was great. They had both air conditioning and heater which was convenient. The boss also asked beforehand if the room needed to be cleaned or not, which was very convenient for us who liked to sleep in after long day of sightseeing. There was also washing machine for guests to use, free of charge. They also have two very cute cats! More importantly, the back door is close to main road and main door leads you right into the ancient city, which is super easy for us to wait for taxi or get into the ancient city. And for Muslims, there are a few halal restaurants just a few minutes walk from the inn. Every time we came back from our walks, the boss would greet us and it put a smile on our faces. On our last night there, we had tea and chatted with him. He was indeed a warm person, and funny too! Not to mention, handsome 🤭 If I ever come back to Lijiang (I will!), I would stay at this inn again 🤍 Please consider this inn, it is truly a hidden gem!
