At Boxinyunshe in Lijiang Ancient Town, flowers and plants fill the entire courtyard

🌿 Hidden in the cobblestone alleys of Lijiang Ancient Town is a Naxi courtyard where your soul can anchor—Boxinyunshe. It neighbors Sifang Street on the left, the Mu Residence on the right, backed by Lion Mountain, embracing the ancient town’s feng shui treasure land. Morning light filters through the old eaves onto the flowing waterwheel, the Naxi-style screen wall and Bai carved window frames complement each other beautifully, while Yi ethnic painted pillars add color, like a living museum of ethnic architecture. 🌞 Step into the courtyard and you’ll be amazed that this secret realm of over 3,000 square meters is the largest courtyard in Lijiang Ancient Town. The infinity pool, like a sapphire, is set among the bluestone, with water winding around the Fortune Bridge, Dongba pillars standing tall, and greenery shading the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Every corner flows with poetry: in the morning, sunlight dances on the water through the mist; in the afternoon, lie in a rocking chair listening to wind chimes; at dusk, lights illuminate the pavilions and towers, like a secret realm from the Dongba scriptures. Here, every turn is a view, every shutter click captures a masterpiece. 🛏️ The 30 master bedrooms at Boxinyunshe each tell a story, named after scenic spots like Lugu Lake and Shangri-La. Spacious from 60 to 120 square meters, Naxi wood carvings coexist harmoniously with smart home technology. Open the window to see ancient town rooftops and distant mountains like a painting; soak in the freestanding bathtub, gaze at the stars while listening to ancient Naxi music. Thoughtfully, bamboo fiber towels, Egyptian cotton bedding, and exclusive toiletries can be taken home, with Shiseido products for washing, showcasing quality everywhere. 👨‍👩‍👧 Your dedicated butler welcomes you like family—Uncle arrives at the ancient town gate on a tricycle to pick up your luggage, young ladies prepare welcome gifts, and aunties cook breakfast with organic ingredients. The rooftop “Sky Mirror” reflects snowy mountains and the ancient town, the study is filled with the aroma of tea, and the Chinese restaurant wafts the scent of chicken bean jelly. No noisy sales pitches, just warm 24-hour care. 🚶 Lijiang Travel Tips · Ancient Town Stroll: Enjoy the empty alleys from 7-9 AM, walk from Sifang Street along the Jade River to Black Dragon Pool, see snow mountains reflected in the pool, and the Five-Arch Bridge like a rainbow lying on the waves. · Must-See Classics: Take the cable car up Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to the 4,680-meter glacier, descend to encounter the blue waters of Blue Moon Valley, and listen to Tusi legends at the Mu Residence in the evening. · Hidden Gems: At Baisha Ancient Town’s “7 Sea Bar,” sip coffee while viewing snow mountains; ride horses around Wenhai Village lake; listen to the Hobbit houses in Flower Valley. · Naxi Culture: Read millennia-old scriptures at the Dongba Culture Research Institute at Black Dragon Pool, watch Naxi Amas dance at dusk in Sifang Street. · Food Recommendations: Try cured pork rib hotpot and chicken bean jelly at Zhongyi Market, and yak meat skewers in Baisha Ancient Town. 💫 At Boxinyunshe, time slows down. A Naxi Ama says, “If you walk in the same direction your whole life, why rush?” Let us find the original shape of life in Lijiang’s gentle moments—heart anchored at Boxinyunshe, living in poetry.
