Village Up & Stay Architecture: The Village Up& Stay advocates the concept of green sustainable ecological environmental protection. The building adopts the traditional method of ramming earth and solid wood. We furnish the building with as little formaldehyde, paint, and other quick-acting materials as possible. The design of the large two-way windows ensures natural ventilation in the room. No air conditioning is required in the summer. The room temperature is maintained between 18 to 24 degrees Celsius, which is healthy and environmentally friendly. In the winter, the wall heating system keeps the indoor temperature between 16 to 22 degrees Celsius. It’s radiation-free. We use the three-layer floor and ramming earth walls to make excellent sound insulation. Bathroom: Dry and wet separation, smart, barrier-free toilet, 24-hour hot water. Daily necessities: we advocate not using or using fewer disposable items! For example, we use natural handmade products for bathing and handwashing; We disinfect towels and slippers separately after each check-out. Location: The Village Up& Stay is located in Shaping Village, Shaxi Town. It’s 2 kilometers from the ancient town, at the foot of the Sha Dengqing Grottoes area. There is a free bicycle(15 minutes) and shuttle bus (any time before 23:30 ) round-trip service if you want to check out the old town. It’s a 30-minute walk to the old town. Meals: The B&B provides customized Chinese and Western breakfasts. We have homemade bread and jam. For our guests, there is also afternoon high tea! As for lunch and dinner, our kitchen makes fresh and healthy home-cooked dishes(Chinese Style). We also make delicious Western-style dishes. Room views and public areas: Each room has natural sceneries: distant mountains, fields, and villages. You can find a study room, fireplace, restaurant, courtyard, and free parking space in the public area. Travel, services, and others: Free round-trip services within the Shaxi area by bicycle and shuttle bus. We have private guides available for outdoor, hiking, camping, and local natural travel experience. This means we are going to show you the off-the-beaten path in Shaxi and the whole Yunnan province. B&B owner story: I’m Dahua, Bai nationality, Shaxi local. I have the inn and guest house operating experience since 2007 (the earliest inn business in Shaxi) to the present day! The first experience: Shaxi Laomaadian. I have been involved with this guest house from its beginning to the end. (10 years) It’s the first guest house awarded by Dali municipality as a four-star outstanding guest house. It’s ranked in the first three favored guest houses in Shaxi on TripAdvisor. It’s the first guest house in Shaxi which has a separate toilet and bathroom. The second experience: From 2017 to 2023, my wife and I ran our own guest house Shaxi Aoding Courtyard, which got the highest rating in the Shaxi area on Booking.com. Shaxi Aoding Courtyard was fortunate to be included in the "Oriental Museum Magazine Directory" in France at that time.

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.

After hiking back from Tiger Leaping Gorge and Baoshan Stone City, we finally stayed at Dahua's home in Murakami Village! The boss Dahua took good care of us throughout the journey, making us feel that hiking can be so comfortable and relaxing! The parent-child suite arranged by Dahua's home has a large bed, two small beds, and a special washbasin for children, which is quite nice! The toiletries without additives of plants, the rammed earth walls painted with rice soup, and the comfortable bedding are all amazing! The boss's wife's cooking skills are amazing, from French bread, Western desserts to local dishes! We ate a lot for two days! Drinking tea and basking in the sun in the courtyard, and drinking around the fire in the restaurant are a pleasant time~ Dahua and Dahua's wife, we will come back~ Hahahaha

It was my first time staying in a hotel that had a disinfection cabinet for towels and slippers. It was definitely a five-star hotel. The courtyard was small and beautiful, the bedding in the room was comfortable, the environmentally friendly handmade soap powder in the bathroom, and the whole wheat bread and desserts made by the proprietress all showed the attentiveness, meticulousness and high aesthetics of the owner of this B&B. Because I had to catch an early flight, Mrs. Dahua thoughtfully made a sandwich for me to take with me on the road. It felt like being cared for by my family. It was great❤️

The attentiveness of the B&B owners can be seen everywhere. The toiletries are all made with organic essential oils, towels, cups and slippers are placed in different disinfection cabinets, all wooden decoration, homemade breakfast bread and jam, and a wood stove that is always burning vigorously... It is an inn worth visiting again and staying for a long time.

The details are so well done! Towels, cups and slippers all have separate disinfection cabinets, bath products are all customized environmentally friendly and low-foam, the bed is dry, moderately soft and hard, the water pressure is stable, and the water volume is large. The boss lady's cooking is also delicious, Chinese and Western, both are very good!

I knew that Shaxi Ancient Town would be very popular during the Chinese New Year, so I chose to stay in the village next to Shibao Mountain. It is not far from Jianchuan Ancient Town, Shilong Village, and Baoxiang Temple, and it is very quiet. This trip is really worth it. It perfectly avoids the crowds. Not only is there an original Bai ancient village, but also the most attentive service in so many hotels! The yard was carefully designed by the boss Dahua himself, advocating sustainability and locality. I really love the unique wood carvings and rammed earth walls of Jianchuan😍The 35cm thick wall ensures that the room is very warm. The boss also prepared a bed and 2 quilts, as well as a radiator, but in fact, you don’t need them; the study and the restaurant have fireplaces, and the atmosphere in winter is full~~ The boss’s wife’s cooking skills are also great. She has many years of experience in Western pastries. Rice noodles, baguettes, homemade jams, and small cookies are all delicious. I regret that I have to leave in the morning when I arrive in the evening... The boss provides bicycles, and you can ride around the village to see the daily life of the villagers. The traditional order of life is still well maintained~~

The accommodation experience exceeded expectations! We came to Shaxi on a whim during the Spring Festival. Our family had high requirements for accommodation, so we chose this highly rated B&B, which really exceeded our expectations. Facilities: The decoration is very new, it should have been opened not long ago. But I felt that every detail was thoughtfully provided. The goose down bedding and pillows on the bed were of excellent quality, clean and comfortable to sleep in. The store also thoughtfully gave us two quilts, although the room was not cold and one quilt was enough. The bathroom products were all Kohler products. The environmentally friendly formula of the shampoo was written on the glass mirror. The hot and cold water were both good. The towels and slippers were placed in two specially equipped disinfection cabinets in the bathroom, which was unexpected and reassuring. There was also a heater in the room, but we didn't use it. Hygiene: Very clean! The used towels will be replaced the next morning. When we were eating in the restaurant, I noticed that their bedding was washed and dried by themselves, and the tableware was neatly placed in the restaurant's disinfection cabinet. I casually asked the boss why they didn't send them out for washing, and Lao Ben said that this was cleaner and more environmentally friendly. It suits our taste very well. Environment: In a quiet village, our room has a small balcony where we can drink tea and bask in the sun. From the window we can see the Shibao Mountain behind the village. Later we followed the boss's suggestion to hike in this mountain and saw a group of grottoes with great historical and cultural value, which was a surprise! You can ride for 7-8 minutes to the Shaxi Ancient Town in front of the village to watch the morning fog, and then come back for breakfast. The bicycles provided by the store are all mountain bikes and are very easy to ride. The boss combined local rammed earth walls with improved craftsmanship with solid wood, giving the interior a very textured feel. Service: The boss is very simple, professional, and has a lot of feelings and insights. He helped us "customize" a tour route that included cultural sites and popular check-in spots. We had a smooth and happy ride on our bikes. The bread baked by the boss lady and the homemade dishes she cooked were also unexpected surprises! We were chatting in the courtyard, and the boss made tea and brought us snacks. Later, the wind started to blow, and the boss hurried to the study to light the fireplace so that we could warm ourselves by the fire. All in all, the price was reasonable and the experience far exceeded expectations. Next time I'll find a time during the off-season to stay longer.

I was amazed by this light luxury B&B. It was a very comfortable experience. From the design of the room to the toiletries, everything was meticulous and very clean. . The boss is very attentive. Every detail of the room gives people a sense of security and comfort. The scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is picturesque. . The bed is moderately hard and soft, and very comfortable to sleep on. The bedding is very clean, the quilt is soft, and two beds are thoughtfully made. Towels, slippers, and tea sets are all sterilized in a special sterilizer, which is rarely seen in other hotels. For people who pay special attention to hygiene, it is impeccable. . On the night of our check-in, the landlady prepared a delicious dinner with local specialties. The fried milk pancakes were delicious, and the braised spareribs were soft and tasty. . Having breakfast while listening to music gives you a day of energy and a sense of relaxation. The walnut European bread made by the boss lady is especially delicious. . After dinner, we lit the fireplace and sat around drinking tea, chatting and warming ourselves by the fire. The owner is a talented, tasteful and considerate young man. He designed the house himself. The wall design retains the original materials of the old house and adds modern elements. It is both practical and storytelling and has a sense of design. . The boss's child is lively and cute, a clever little boy who adds unexpected joy to the trip. . This is a beautiful place where you will never want to leave once you move in. . .
