In Lijiang Ancient Town, I found a home called Boxinyunshe.

🌺🌿 In Lijiang Ancient Town, I found a home called Boxinyunshe. — The moment I pushed open the door, my heart softened. 💖 The wooden beams and pillars of the old Naxi house glow gently under the highland sunlight, like a love letter from time to travelers 📜. The courtyard is deep, with lush flowers and plants; the plump succulents crowding in clay pots look like a group of sleepy little fairies 🧚. The roses and bougainvillea climb up the screen wall, stretching their heads to catch the wind. 🍃 Did you know? Here hides the ancient wisdom of "three rooms and one screen wall." The main room and the left and right wings surround a simple screen wall, forming a world of their own. In the afternoon, I sat under the corridor, watching the sunlight slant across the screen wall, painting flower shadows like ink wash — it turns out the Naxi people long ago knew how to let the wind and light gently embrace life. 🌄 At three in the afternoon, the housekeeper brought a wooden tea tray: Lijiang baba (flatbread) warm and crispy 🍪, yak yogurt rich and appetizing 🥛, fresh wild fruits carrying the mountain spring’s breath 🍓, a cup of snow tea light and sweet aftertaste 🍵. She said this was the "Naxi flavor map," but in the blend of sweet and salty, I tasted the warmth of home. 🌙 More surprises come after nightfall — A gentle knock on the door, followed by a cup of warm goodnight milk 🥛, with a cute Dongba script painted on the porcelain cup. "Sleep well," the housekeeper girl’s smile is sweeter than the milk. 💡✨ Staying at Boxinyunshe, this is how to truly enjoy Lijiang without wasting time: 🚶‍♀️【Ancient Town Walking Guide】 ☑️ At 7 a.m., walk on the stone paths to Sifang Street; the ancient town without tourists belongs only to you 📍 ☑️ Hang a Dongba wind chime 🎐 by the big waterwheel and tell your wishes to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain ☑️ Visit the former residence of Fang Guoyu to touch the pulse of Naxi culture 📚 ☑️ At dusk, pick a quiet bar on Bar Street 🎵 and listen to folk songs flowing in the creek 🏞️【Must-Visit Surroundings】 ❶ Jade Dragon Snow Mountain — take the cable car through the clouds 🚡, encounter the earthly paradise of Blue Moon Valley 💙 ❷ Shuhe Ancient Town — the camel bells of the Tea Horse Road still echo in the wind 🐎, quieter than Dayan ❸ Baisha Murals — Ming Dynasty paintings still brilliant 🎨, quietly telling ancient stories 🍲【Foodie List】 ⭐ "Ama Braised Ribs" outside the ancient town, fresh soup and tender meat, happiness for about 50 yuan per person ⭐ Grilled rice cakes 🌮 at Zhongyi Market, with chili sauce and bean sprouts, the taste of Lijiang mornings ⭐ Chickpea jelly with butter tea 🍶, salty and rich, instantly immersing you in local life 📸【Photo Spots】 📷 Every corner of Boxinyunshe’s courtyard is photogenic! Succulents and blooming flowers make a stunning foreground 📷 Wenchang Palace viewing platform — overlook the entire ancient town, with tiled roofs in neat rows and distant mountains like ink wash 📷 The arch bridge at Black Dragon Pool — Jade Dragon Snow Mountain reflected in the water, as if stepping into a postcard 💝 Little tips: ▪️ Comfortable shoes are important for walking on the ancient town’s stone paths 👟 ▪️ Highland sun protection is a must 🌞, don’t forget your hat and sunglasses ▪️ Bring a shawl 🧣, the temperature difference between morning and night is big, but the sunshine is always generous Every day at Boxinyunshe feels like living in a Naxi family’s poem. Endless blooming flowers, endless sunshine, endless tea to drink, and the housekeepers’ always warm smiles — the most beautiful scenery on a trip is the gentleness that makes you want to stay. Lijiang is not for rushing through; it’s for slowly falling in love. ❤️ Do you want to come and live in this long Naxi poem? I’ve already saved a spot for you under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. 🌼🪑 --- ✨ Follow me, and I’ll take you to every distant place with a story ✨
