A Cozy Retreat in Lijiang Old Town—My New Chinese-Style B&B Experience

Stepping into Lijiang Old Town is like entering a dream where time intertwines. Near the bustling Sifang Street, I found a home away from home—a new Chinese-style B&B. 🌸First Impressions The B&B's exterior is unassuming, but upon pushing open the wooden door, I was greeted by a fresh and elegant atmosphere. The unique landscaping and exquisite decor revealed the owner's meticulous attention to detail. The online photos were identical to the actual rooms, or perhaps even more captivating in person. 🏠Room Amenities Entering the room, I was amazed by the amenities. A latex mattress, smart toilet, central air conditioning, and a bathroom with separate shower and toilet—modern comfort blended seamlessly with classic elegance. Some rooms even feature private viewing balconies and bathtubs, allowing me to enjoy both privacy and the natural beauty of Lijiang. 🍵Exclusive Services The B&B offers exclusive butler service, including pick-up and drop-off, travel consultation, and tour guide services. The butler promptly responded to all my needs, ensuring a worry-free trip. Considering Lijiang's dry climate, the room was equipped with a humidifier and a fresh fruit platter, showcasing thoughtful attention to detail. 🌳Common Areas The B&B's tea room and communal garden were ideal places for me to relax and unwind. Here, I could savor a cup of tea, read a book, or exchange travel experiences with fellow travelers from all walks of life. 👍Check-In Experience Despite its location in the heart of the old town, the B&B truly offered a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. The soundproofing was excellent, the air conditioning was cool and comfortable, and I slept soundly throughout the night. Moreover, the cleanliness and quality of the amenities were impeccable, giving me peace of mind during my stay. 👨The Warm-Hearted Owner I must mention the B&B's owner, a warm, cheerful, and life-loving young man. He not only made us tea and coffee but also, concerned that we might be hungry, offered us the shop's fresh flower cakes. Considering the possibility of altitude sickness for the elderly, he even provided oxygen tanks. His warm hospitality made us feel at home in this unfamiliar city. 📸Beautiful Memories Haruki Murakami said, "No one can ever predict the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." I'm grateful that I captured the beautiful moments spent at this B&B, so that future recollections will be crystal clear. 🎉Conclusion Choosing this B&B is like choosing a home filled with warmth and comfort. I look forward to returning and exploring the unique charm of Lijiang Old Town with the owner once again. I wish the owner continued success and happiness!
