Lijiang Ancient City · Yihe Shuyuan · Light Luxury Tea Yun Homestay Reviews

Had a great stay at Yihe Shuyuan. Location is very good, rooms were very clean, and the place was recently renovated. The owners and staff are very friendly, hospitable and helpful. Had great tea drinking and chatting sessions with them and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will recommend this place to anyone visiting Lijiang. A truly unique experience.

I have to say that this is definitely the best stay in LiJiang. First of all, the owners (husband and wife) were extremely friendly and helpful in all possible way they could. If you are a tea lover, you have to try out this place. They invite you for puer tea whenever they see you around, they even have a private tearoom which can be used at any time. One of the warmest acts was when they knew we were heading out for a day trip and they prepared apples, corns and snacks for us to bring along. Besides that, the location is very convenient as it is located in LiJiang ancient town. I will definitely come back in future.

We traveled to Lijiang in January 2024 and had a chance to visit one homestay inside Lijiang Old Town and loved. We planned to go back to Lijiang again in April and were in searching for that homestay we visited last time. Unfortunately (actually fortunately), we could not find that place in any of the booking platforms. There were many homestays in Trip.com for our consideration and we narrowed down the search to 2 properties. Eventually, we decided to go for Ming He Shu Yuan – Light Luxury Tea Yun Homestay and we have never regretted we choose to stay there. Our plan was to stay for 2 nights. We then decided to reserve 2 different types of room to experience the differences. The property owner called us to make sure the bookings were correct and explained the arrangement to move our belongings from room to another. Even though it was almost dark, they were expecting us in front of the street and managed to tow our luggage on a bumpy Lijiang walkways. We were welcomed by traditional Yunnan tea and walked us to a spacious and comfortable room which was far nice than was shown in the website. The owner sister, Kongshujing, led us the way to the old town in worried of us getting lost here and there. They prepared a bag full of needed breakfast for us to be able to leave early in the morning and made sure our luggage would be moved to another room before we came back. The second night we stayed in another room type which was again higher than our expectations in all aspects. We were astonished by its nice ambient, designs, and layout of this homestay and rooms we stayed. The house was of course beautiful with nice decoration. The rooms were comfortable with homey-modern style. The furniture and bathroom accessories were well considerate and user-friendly. The automatic room control system has greatly surprised us indeed. Lastly, we enjoyed the breakfast served inside the tea room. Trillion thanks to the hospitality with every single details provided. We totally fell in love with your house and will definitely be back.

This is a gem of a hotel. The location is excellent and while located within the old town, is just a 2 min walk from a taxi pick up point. Lijiang old town is traffic free so this is not the case for many other hotels. Rooms are spacious, clean and tastefully renovated. Breakfast is home cooked and very tasty. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Amazing hotel with lovely and extremely helpfull owners. Huge like!!!

This is a very comfortable homestay I stayed in in Lijiang! The facilities and equipment are intelligent systems, and the hardware is very good. The boss is willing to spend money on this! The key point is that the room is very clean and tidy, and the sound insulation effect is also very good. The thick double-layer glass makes me, a person with a very light sleep, feel completely quiet! Secondly, the lighting effect in the courtyard is very good! The courtyard view at night is more worth taking pictures! Unlike some courtyards, it is very bright, but there is no light and shadow effect! When chatting with the boss, the boss said: "This is a point that has been worked hard!" It can be seen that he is very attentive to the experience of the homestay! It is worth recommending.

The lady who met us at the airport was very enthusiastic. I felt it was good before I even arrived at the B&B. When I arrived at the ancient city, the lady boss was already waiting by the roadside. She was very warm and hospitable. It felt like a 1-minute walk to the B&B. The environment was very good. She even upgraded our room when she saw we were with our children. The breakfast at the boss's was amazing and much better than eating out. In addition, the restaurant recommended by the boss was also very reliable. It was very comfortable to drink tea and chat with the boss in the tea room. It was just that the vacation was too short. I had to go to other places later, otherwise I would have to stay here for a few more days.

Check-in experience: I really like this room, the light is very good, the curtains open automatically to a small balcony with a courtyard view, and the sun shines brightly on the bed! The hardware facilities are great, all branded, even the kettle is De Jong's. The boss is also very nice. In short, it is a very good choice and very convenient for travel!

I compared several B&Bs online and finally chose this one. I felt very comfortable after checking in, and was very satisfied with the service: the floor heating was shown to us before we checked in, and it was very warm after we entered, just like the feeling of returning home with heating! I have to give it 5★ for this. The room was also very clean. My friend said: She didn't dare to expect the B&B to be particularly clean, but this one did it. After chatting with the people in the store, she realized that it was managed by the owner himself! No wonder the details are done so well! I have to recommend this to my friends when they come!

The stay experience was great. I am a light sleeper, but I slept very well here! The room is soundproof and quiet, and even the curtains are double-layered with strong light-blocking. The room is clean and tidy, and the housekeeper's service attitude is great! If there is anything, call the Xiaodu smart speaker and it will solve it immediately. I will choose this homestay next time [circle]

A very cost-effective homestay. The entire stay was very pleasant and reassuring. The layout of the room was also the style I liked, simple and fresh with complete facilities. Secondly, the hygiene was even more meticulous. It was a very satisfactory stay experience, and it is worth recommending!!!

The courtyard is very design-conscious, and the colors used are calm and generous, which is in line with my aesthetics. I like this homestay very much. The room is clean and bright, and the facilities are all intelligent systems. The room is well kept, and there is no problem in winter! There are air conditioners and floor heating, which are very warm. The boss is very enthusiastic and thoughtful. He contacted us in advance, sent us the nearest destination, and came to pick me up. It was very convenient! I will recommend friends to stay here next time.

The B&B is located in the center of Mufu, but it is very quiet. The owner takes very good care of us. The breakfast is rich and delicious. The room is cozy and warm, and there is floor heating. The toiletries are also very attentive. The tea room is fragrant and full of charm. It is suitable for daydreaming and chatting. I casually asked which flower cake is delicious. When we left, the owner gave us a box of freshly baked flower cakes like a friend. He treats every visiting guest very attentively. I will stay here again next time~

Overall it was great. I haven't been to Lijiang for a long time, and it feels the same as it did several years ago. The accommodation is very good, the scenery on the second floor is also very beautiful, and it has just been renovated. The boss is also very nice and made tea for us.
