Shaxi Town: A Hidden Gem of a Guesthouse

✅️During my National Day trip to Shaxi, Dali, I stayed at three different hotels and guesthouses. I had a short holiday and wanted to make the most of it, so I looked at dozens of hotels and guesthouses before finally choosing these three "homes" for my trip. They all met my expectations, but my favorite was "Wu Qi" in Shaxi. I couldn't resist writing a separate review for it: The location is excellent. It's almost as close as you can get to the ancient theater on Sifang Street. It's in a small alley off Sifang Street, and when you walk in and turn left, you'll see a wisteria trellis that connects to a mini square in front of the guesthouse courtyard. It's a quiet and open space in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. The lively tourist area is outside the walls, but you can still enjoy the convenience of shopping. It's just a short walk back "home." ✅️The guesthouse is beautiful, with tasteful interior design. The rammed earth walls and the half-brick walls on the first floor are harmoniously colored, with complementary textures. The orange spiral staircase leads to the second-floor restaurant terrace, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the ancient city and distant mountains. The view from the second-floor room is already great, and you can enjoy the green mountains as a canvas, with clouds and sunlight creating a variety of scenes. ✅️The service is comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious. You can sit on a deck chair by the pond and watch the fish play. The guesthouse staff will bring you a pot of tea and fresh fruit, and give the kids fish food to feed the fish. It's a relaxing way to slow down and enjoy the moment. ✅️Finally, I didn't want to compare this guesthouse to others, but I did visit the other finalists in person while shopping. I was even more pleased with my choice and felt lucky to have found such a satisfying guesthouse. It added to the joy of my trip to Shaxi!
