Songshanxia Homestay

The inn is nice, the owner and his family are very welcoming, and the breakfast is delicious. I especially love the Naxi baba. If you're driving, you can tell the owner your license plate number and then drive into the village. However, the road is narrow and difficult to pass. The village is very quiet, but it can be quite cold in the morning and evening.

Pros: The B&B is located in the heart of Yuhu Village, a few minutes' walk from the commercial street. The courtyard is comfortable and pleasant, and the owner is warm and welcoming, with excellent service. We enjoyed tea and chatted. Music can be played in the common area, and the courtyard, surrounded by greenery, offers expansive views of the mountains and the starry sky. Cons: Yuhu Village has limited access: External vehicles are prohibited after 8:00 AM (pre-registration is required). The interior is a narrow, single-lane gravel road, prone to traffic jams and difficult to get a taxi. The guest room experience was subpar: The family room had very few outlets (only one at the head and foot of each bed), making it difficult to charge simultaneously, forcing beds to be placed on the floor. The mattress felt noticeably damp (it was equipped with an electric heater). The squat toilet was poorly designed, prone to splashing and smelling foul, and the toilet had a strong musty odor. The wooden structure provided poor sound insulation, and footsteps from upstairs were clearly audible.

This B&B is run by a Naxi (indigenous) family. It features typical Naxi architecture. The family of four, two generations apart, each with their own responsibilities, is welcoming and welcoming. The courtyard is immaculately clean. During the day, I enjoyed tea under the blue sky and white clouds, with snacks and fruit prepared by the owner. At night, I chatted by the fire pit. It was truly relaxing. The owner's breakfast was excellent: rice porridge, Naxi baba, corn, eggs, and pickles—all grown by the owner himself—very ecological. The baba was especially delicious, and the owner provided a full meal. I stayed there for four days and had a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back!

Cleanliness: Very clean. Ambient: It was off-season when I arrived, so it was quiet and deserted. The air was very clear after the rain. Service: The host was very nice and welcoming, and they even provided breakfast.
