Jianchuan Hostels

I chose this B&B because of the photos on Ctrip. It is indeed a very well-designed B&B with rich and exquisite space. The on-site experience is almost consistent with the imagination. The inn is right next to the intersection from Nanguzong Lane to Heihuijiang. The Lanshan double bed room has a long row of windows that can be opened, which is very comfortable if the weather is good/the temperature is suitable. The inn's breakfast, afternoon tea, and daily services are all online. Shaxi is really suitable for a short stay to relax and unwind, and I will consider coming back.

Stayed here for 2 nights. It is well-located on the side of the ancient town, allowing us to reach the main sights of Shaxi within 5-10mins walk. Easy with the luggages too if you are arriving in a car which can stop right at the main door. The suite was huge with separate living area, bathroom and had a nice wooden decor. Although it’s already been operating for many years, it felt brand new! Hotel compound itself was beautiful with an airy garden setting. We enjoyed taking breakfasts & afternoon tea at the outdoor benches by the dining hall. Even though it was fully-booked on one of the days, it never felt crowded at all. Staff were courteous, always smiling and happy to offer their services or advice. This is a property one should definitely consider if intending to spend more days in Shaxi & the neighbouring area, so that you could enjoy the hotel itself.

I had a fantastic stay at Yingju Inn. The hotel is located in the most central place of Shaxi village. But more importantly, the manager was very helpful and professional. She speaks perfectly English and was able to help me for many things. She indicated me all the sights to visit in the area, and she booked my bus for me. It worth to be noticed, because after almost one month in China, it was the first time that I had a hotel with an English-speaking staff.

Impression Shaxi meets all my imaginations of Youfeng Courtyard. You can't stop taking photos in the courtyard without leaving your home. The boss is warm and considerate, and the room is clean and comfortable. The old house was renovated, with a very design sense. All the wooden furniture introduced by the boss was collected, and the doors were all old objects. The store owner was responsive to every request. My daughter wanted to travel and take photos, and the elderly wanted to enjoy wild mushrooms, and they were all met one by one. The geographical location is excellent. The car can be driven directly to the back door, and the front door is 100 meters away from the pedestrian street of the ancient town, which is quite convenient. It is very close to the ancient theater, Yujin Bridge, Youfeng Cafe and other check-in scenic spots. The breakfast is very appetizing, and the fresh milk is a thumbs up 👍, which is highly recommended.

The review is a little late. The days in Shaxi were like a dream. When I woke up, I had to go back to my daily work. It is a very quiet and cozy B&B. There are beautiful scenery inside and outside the door. It is clean and hygienic. The breakfast is rich enough, and there is also a warm goodnight sweet soup. On a clear night, you can also see the stars. I have gained a lot of kindness from the B&B during these days of traveling alone. I look forward to meeting you on the next trip~

A delightful inn with a beautiful courtyard full of blooms, greens and some fishes. The 4 of us were lucky to be there in April being the flowering season. Cosy outdoor areas to enjoy the environment and weather and snacks. Lovely mountain views from the top gazebo. Great location in a quiet area with comfy room and amenities [heated toilet seat too]. Friendly and courteous staff. Warm milk for the night too. Highly recommend this place. Short walk to the ancient town to Yujin Bridge, shops, eating places, canola fields and lotus ponds. Flowers blooming everywhere -- delights the heart!

The location of this hotel is literally on the doorstep of the pedestrian zone yet it is still accessible by car. The public car park is also right next door to the hotel. The hotel is decorated in traditional style and is very quiet at night. I liked that the hotel provided electric blankets for the cold nights. The breakfast is delicious and enough to keep you going for most of the day. Helpful staff and a relaxing place to enjoy Shaxi.

quaint guest house that is run by a retired HK couple, they provided the warmest welcome during our entire trip, and we felt so at home! we spend quite a while chatting with Ms May and her husband and enjoyed the exchange. facilities are homely and basic, with a lovely garden and a kids play area. total of 8 rooms. shaxi ancient town is such a gem, quaint, quiet and is a place where you can really slow down your pace to appreciate what yunnan china is like. spend your time wandering around shaxi ancient town, it’s small (1 hour exploration) but definitely take the time to sit with a cup of coffee or a book. take the yellow taxi (electric buggy) to explore the various smaller towns that surround shaxi. there are appx 7 smaller towns, each with its own charm… we only had time to explore beilongchun, where the pace of life is slow, quiet and healing. the higher you hike, the views are very different! some places to check out: - shaxi avant garde book shop u - universal bakery (alien mascot bakery that sells sourdough, hard crust bread) - bailong tan (small lake) - 山风院子 which has a tree house and a mini cafe - shaxi tea horse museum - old stone bridge, in the afternoon an elderly couple would be there with their goats and you can buy goat milk or take photos. - shaxi friday market!!!

The boss is warm and welcoming, all facilities are complete, and it is very convenient to go to various attractions. It was a very satisfying stay.
