Where the Wind Blows! Explore the Love Story of Li Xian and Liu Yifei

Guanrui-Shaxi Lodge is crafted with traditional mortise and tenon wood structures, blending the Zen essence of Tang and Song dynasties with Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics. The courtyard's water features and greenery create a picturesque scene at every turn, with light and shadow dancing in harmony. Inside the rooms, traditional Bai tie-dye coexists seamlessly with modern bedding, while handcrafted wooden furniture complements local pottery. Specially designed picture windows frame distant views of the Cangshan Mountains or ancient town streets. Underfloor heating and carefully selected bath amenities ensure comfort without sacrificing rustic charm. Breakfast features freshly prepared pea flour porridge with grilled rice cakes and seasonal mountain vegetables. In the afternoon, enjoy ancient Yunnan tea paired with handmade flower pastries in the tea room. For dinner, the chef reinterprets Bai cuisine with modern techniques, offering dishes like truffle-steamed chicken and rose milk fan rolls. The library houses a rich collection on Yunnan's culture and architecture, while the creative zone showcases and sells local handicrafts. The rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the ancient town, and regular activities include folk music performances and craft workshops. Within walking distance are the Ancient Stage and Xingjiao Temple, with Yujin Bridge just a short stroll away. Nearby highlights include: Pioneer Shaxi Bai Bookstore—a cultural space transformed from a granary; Shibaoshan Mountain—about 20 km away for a day trip; and the Heihui River—a serene spot for morning or evening walks.
