We enjoyed a fantastic stay at this guesthouse with the owner Da Hua, who took us on tours of Shaxi's Friday farmer's market, the Shaxi Ancient Town, and the nearby mountain and historical monastety with many wild monkeys running around (石宝山）. The owner's family is very lovely, playing with our toddler and cooking delicious, fairly priced lunches and dinners (the rice noodles especially!). The guest house is located in a quiet farming village a short distance away from Shaxi itself, and the guesthouse can take care of transportation to and from Shaxi, including to watch the sunrise mist over the river. The guesthouse is very new (finished in 2024) and has very comfortable rooms and a lovely library and dining room. Stargazing at night is perfect. The owner can also take care of transportation to and from Dali or Lijiang. Overall, the owner speaks very good English, is used to both foreign and Chinese guests, and is an expert on many areas in Yunnan, providing a great reference to a driver I would use in Lijiang, and I would recommend this place highly for two nights for anyone visiting Shaxi!
This is my first time writing a review because I am so grateful to the owner of this hotel!
This hotel is located 20-30 minutes walk from the old town, which makes your stay comfortable and quiet from the noise. The hotel provides bicycles to get to the old town. But do not rush to worry. Even though we came here by rented car, due to the holidays, the traffic was too difficult and Mr. Dahua kindly drove us there and picked us up back. Honestly, I have rarely met such kindness. You can also walk around this village to feel the local way of life. Mr. Dahua did everything to make our stay amazing. His wife cooks incredibly delicious food. We could not even think that we could eat anywhere else. I assure you, from the first seconds of your stay here, you will feel like a part of this wonderful family. This hotel is not just a business - this hotel is part of this family and every corner of it is imbued with love for this place. Mr. Dahua also speaks English and can advise and organize local sightseeing tours for you. We cannot express how grateful we are to this family! I highly recommend visiting this wonderful place.
