Huashijian Inn (Lijiang Ancient City Mufu Branch)

The hotel and amenities are nothing to shout about but the host and location is superb. Host, QiQi, is always trying her level best to fulfill guest needs and recommend what to do in Lijiang. Helpful and trustworthy. Location is also good as it is near the entrance of ancient town. Helpful if you bring big luggages.

The front desk very helpfull

If you’re a solo traveller, don’t hesitate to stay at this guesthouse. The room is clean and comfortable, with hot water and nice bathroom with separate wet and dry areas. Location is excellent, in the old town but quiet and secluded, yet very convenient to get around because it’s near a roadside pick-up location & bus-stop. This place felt like home because of the people. The lady boss was very kind to make me tea. The guy at front desk is a superstar. He helped me to snag tickets to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on the first attempt, planned my itinerary, and helped to connect other solo travellers together so that we can have company. On 2 nights (one of which is new year’s eve), he invited me to have dinner with the other guesthouse. On NYE, he brought a group of us out to enjoy the festivities in the old town, he was like a tour guide, giving us an explanation of the history and bringing us to the best sights. We ended up celebrating & counting down 2025 New Year in the bar. The people made my stay in Lijiang memorable and I would highly recommend to stay here if you are a solo traveller open to make friends and meet new people.

The location is at the edge of the old town, very convenient for day tour pickup, and you can go to other old towns and train station by cheap public buses easily. Food wise is very near to Zhong Yi night market, if you want cheaper local food can cross to non old town area, a lot of cheap local food restaurants. Accommodation is clean and has all basic needs. The host is friendly, chats well, and provides good recommendations, and can help book day tours with a small service fee.

We stayed here for 2 nights after coming back from our climb. 1. We got a larger room this time. Highly recommend the deluxe room which is more spacious. 2. The hotel has a washing machine free for guests to use. 3. We got discounted tickets to the lijiang impressions show from the hotel lady boss and the boss walked us out all the way to the bus stop to get to the show. Very hospitable and tbh with the savings you get from the tickets you can upgrade your stay to the deluxe room. 4. Location - super convenient as always. 10 mins to the lijiang impressions show, 10 mins to shu he old town, 20 mins to train station by cab. 5. The hotel also helped us engage on call masseurs. Really good massage after a long day of sight seeing without having to leave your room! 6. Oh and there is a night market really close by the hotel. Lots of street food there!! Highly recommended! Really great place to stay in lijiang. 超好的！客栈非常干净也有洗衣机可以随意用。客栈老板和老板娘也都非常热情。

The host was very kind and the place is nice
