Kui Ran adheres to the philosophy of "Let the mountains return to nature and people to their true selves", creating a place for harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Located in the prime spot of Baisha Ancient Town, it takes only 3 minutes on foot to reach the bustling town, allowing guests to enjoy both the lively atmosphere and a peaceful retreat. Here, simply lie back and take in the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain, the dreamy sea of clouds, the vast wilderness, and the starry sky - each view a breathtaking masterpiece.
Kui Ran was renovated from a six-generation-old ancestral home of the Naxi and Japanese style, covering an area of over 3,000 square meters. It features two main buildings, two distinct inner courtyards, and an additional 2,000 square meters of outdoor space. The 160-year-old walnut tree in the courtyard is the soul of the place.
The hotel has 14 rooms, including 13 scenic rooms facing the snow-capped mountains and one century-old ancestral home family suite. Each room is equipped with Marshall speakers, Epson projectors, Hisense TVs, Atour zero-pressure memory pillows, Acca Kappa toiletries, Kohler showers, and Jomoo smart toilets to ensure a comfortable stay. A complimentary breakfast is delivered to the room, along with welcome fruits, a snack package, and a selection of coffee for afternoon tea, allowing guests to indulge their taste buds and embark on a journey back to nature.
We hope that all guests who stay at Kui Ran can shed their fatigue and embark on a journey back to nature.
"I traveled to Lijiang, initially just looking for a simple place to stay. Unexpectedly, this accommodation became the most cherished part of my trip – especially the room where I could lie back and gaze at the snow-capped mountains!
Stepping into the room, I was greeted by a massive, wall-spanning floor-to-ceiling window, perfectly framing the snow mountain like a living masterpiece. The sense of peace and healing it brought was more comforting than any other view.
In the courtyard, a charming treehouse is nestled within a 160-year-old walnut tree. As you climb up, you can touch the hanging branches, feeling as though you've stepped right into a childhood fairy tale. The adjacent viewing platform is incredibly photogenic too; there's no need to jostle with crowds at tourist spots. Just stand here, let the snow mountains be your backdrop, and you'll get stunning photos in no time!
The hotel's back garden is equally delightful, boasting a sprawling lawn perfect for events like team-building activities or cozy bonfire nights.
Being a pet-friendly hotel, complete with complimentary unlimited coffee and juice during your stay, it truly feels like a place filled with warmth and care. What's not to love?!
Located in Lijiang's Baisha Ancient Town, this is a hotel that truly brings the snow mountains into your room and transforms your stay into a poetic experience. The days I spent here felt so peaceful, it was as if time itself had slowed down."
