Lijiang in late autumn, dwelling in the alleys

Lijiang in late autumn, dwelling in the alleys In late autumn in Lijiang, red leaves are covered with morning dew, the bluestone slabs bask in the warm sun, the noise gradually fades, perfect for a slow stroll. In the alleys of Guangyi Street, the wooden door of Zhuyixuan · Yueshe Youting holds a sense of balance—just a two-minute walk to Sifang Street, where you can catch the lingering echoes of Naxi dance, but once the door closes, only the sound of leaves falling in the courtyard remains. In the small courtyard surrounded by blue tiles, succulents and green bamboo complement each other, the tea table carries the aroma of Pu'er tea, and the housekeeper always casually hands over a freshly baked flower cake. The carved wooden windows in the room exude an ancient charm, yet the smart bathroom and electric blanket provide real warmth. After climbing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, curling up in front of the giant screen projector, all fatigue melts away. The most thoughtful is the housekeeper’s meticulous care: taking your luggage at the ancient town entrance to avoid the bumpy stone roads, and quietly pointing out the roast milk fan stall at the end of the alley. As dusk deepens, the rooftop terrace offers a view of the snow mountain silhouette, chatting with newly met travel companions until the stars light up, the air filled with a relaxed sweetness. This place is never just a stopover; it’s where the lively scenes and tranquility of Lijiang become part of everyday life.
