In Lijiang! No need to wake up early! You can enjoy the golden sunrise on the mountains while lying down!
Lijiang, a dreamlike fairyland on earth, is like a dazzling pearl left by the heavens in the mortal world. At dawn, the golden sunlight gently spills over the ancient stone-paved streets, awakening this sleeping small town. In the distance, the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain stands tall. Strolling through the ancient town of Lijiang, the quaint buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, and the traces of time have left enchanting stories on the mottled walls.
This homestay is located here, by the Qingxi Lake, at the foot of the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The design of the homestay combines the elegance of wabi-sabi style with natural scenery, extending the atmosphere and emotional imagination of a mountain retreat. The mobile terrace on the infinity pool connects people, mountains, and the sea, allowing you to truly feel like you are living in the scenery.
The rooms start at 50 square meters, very spacious. The overall presentation is in a warm and cozy tone. Imagine this scene: walking into a sunlit room, in front of you is the majestic snow mountain, with the lakeside and sky reflecting each other, immersing yourself in such a picturesque scene, feeling like you are part of nature. The floor-to-ceiling windows without boundaries, guided by light and shadow, blend the five senses with the space.
The hotel has a café on the second floor, and afternoon tea is provided when you check in. The infinity pool is also here, along with the super cool sky mirror, where you can see the spectacular scenery of the mountains and sea merging. Spending a leisurely afternoon here, facing the snow mountain and drinking coffee, is really pleasant~

In Lijiang!! A homestay where you can see the sunrise over the Golden Mountain from your bed...
This homestay is located opposite the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The location is great and it's convenient to get to any attraction. The service of the homestay staff is so warm and friendly that I would call it the "Haidilao" of Lijiang. You don't have to worry about your luggage throughout your stay, and there are different breakfast options for you to choose from when you check in.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the decor is warm and elegant.
Every detail reveals the owner's intentions.
What surprised me the most was the unbeatable view. The floor-to-ceiling windows present the beautiful view of the snow-capped mountains and lakes without reservation.
When the weather is clear, you can witness the spectacular view of the sunrise over the Golden Mountain from your bed. The golden light shines on the snow-capped mountains, making it dreamlike.
The facilities of the homestay are also top-notch. The minimalist design of the micro-cement is not only fashionable but also full of texture. All rooms are equipped with smart home technology, freeing your hands to take pictures.
The breakfast provided by the hotel is diverse and delicious. Whether it's high soup rice noodles or Western dishes, it can meet different needs.
There is also a delicious afternoon tea restaurant on the second floor, which is only open to the public before 11 o'clock. You can enjoy delicious food while enjoying the beautiful view.
The environment around the homestay is very quiet, so you don't have to worry about being disturbed when you sleep at night. There are also several photo spots on the second floor. Many photographers take pictures here. If you love taking pictures, make sure you have enough memory on your phone, because you will really keep taking pictures.

Rain River Mountain Sea Villa: A Double-View B&B by the Snow Mountain and Lake.
You really shouldn't miss this hotel when you come to Lijiang. Open the window and you'll see the snow mountain right outside. Every morning, you can wake up to the sight of the golden mountain at sunrise—it's truly breathtaking. The rooms can all be controlled via your phone, so you don't have to worry about forgetting your room card. You can even turn on the heating in advance, which is great because the temperature difference between morning and night is quite large. The second floor of the hotel is a café that's open to the public. Spending an afternoon here is incredibly comfortable, and there's even a movable bed.

Finally found it! The spot to view Jade Dragon Snow Mountain while lying down is at the Shanhai Villa
This trip to Lijiang was all about taking a photo with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but after searching all over Lijiang for the best spots, the best ones were in the homestays. So, after comparing, I chose the Lijiang Shanhai Villa Hotel 🏨 because their Shanhai Villa Café has an excellent view, facing the snow mountain, and it's not far from the ancient town!
As soon as I walked into their small courtyard, I knew I had come to the right place because from a distance, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was right there! 😍
I can only say it was absolutely amazing, but unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with light rain, so I couldn't capture the golden mountain at sunrise! 😭
Moreover, the clouds had their own temper, sometimes covering the mountain, sometimes revealing a little bit, but it was already a pleasant surprise!
Fortunately, the guys at the hotel were very nice! Seeing that I wanted to take photos in the rain 🌧️, they provided me with an umbrella 🌂 and guided me on where to take the best shots 😂
The basic services were impeccable, but how many places can provide such emotional value!
After the guy told me, I discovered that there were many small corners in the hotel and café that were great for taking photos. The afternoon tea at the café and the breakfast at the hotel were both quite good! After taking photos, having a cup of Americano in the hotel's café and daydreaming, this slow-paced city is really suitable for relaxing! 🥰
I plan to stay a few more days after the rainy season, waiting for that moment when the golden mountain at sunrise appears! 💪

Not enough, absolutely not enough!! The scenery is too beautiful!!
What is it like to live at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?!
You can see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as soon as you open your eyes! It's so beautiful!
.
Combining accommodation, restaurant, and café. A truly mobile sky mirror that is really popular!! Every shot looks great! It's really beautiful!! There are girls and photographers in the shop who can take pictures for you!!
The rooms are spacious, minimalist, and clean, with an Instagram style that is very pleasing. The whole house is equipped with smart home devices. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows face the snow-capped mountains directly, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful snow-capped mountain scenery while lying in bed.
The breakfast here is a single-person meal. There are both Chinese and Western styles! A variety of dishes are exquisitely presented, making it a feast for the eyes~ The owner really knows how to do it!!
Oh, by the way‼️ Afternoon tea is also provided here if you stay.
Even if you don't stay here, you can still take various photos just by having coffee.

Beautifully stunning, you can see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain right from the room
You really can't miss this absolutely gorgeous homestay🏠 when you come to Lijiang.
A whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, a super first-line snow mountain view, you can see the golden mountain at sunrise every morning when you open your eyes!
It's really beautiful, and any casual shot turns out great📷!
Their rooms are particularly large, and fully equipped with smart home devices and wireless charging, all operable via mobile phone📱! No need to worry about forgetting your room card. Most importantly, the service is excellent, with one-on-one butler service, and you can even get free hair washing and styling.
In the morning, you can have breakfast🍳 on the second-floor restaurant while watching the golden mountain at sunrise. There are many choices including Chinese, Western, and rice noodles, and the taste is very good.
It's very close to Shuhe Ancient Town, just a ten-minute taxi🚗 ride. If you don't want to go out on a rainy day, you can also order food on the second floor.

In Lijiang! No need to wake up early! You can enjoy the sunrise over the Golden Mountain while lying in bed!
"Immersed in the dream of Lijiang, morning light needs no invitation—at Mountain Sea VILLA, every moment makes time stand still. Here, it's not just about distant dreams, but a place where dreams become daily life. No need to fight against the first ray of morning sunshine, because here, 'waking up early' becomes an optional choice. Lying in bed, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you are greeted not only by the start of a new day but also by the breathtaking view of the sunrise over the Golden Mountain.
It's not just an accommodation choice; it's an invitation to deeply integrate with nature. As the sun slowly rises, the golden light spreads over the peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the feeling of awe and tranquility descending simultaneously can only be fully understood through personal experience. And all of this is right outside your window, no trekking, no waiting, just lying quietly in a comfortable bed, enjoying nature's most generous gift.
Choosing a lifestyle is the ultimate pursuit of life quality and the highest respect for natural beauty. Here, every wake-up is a redefinition of life. Let's together, in the embrace of Lijiang, feel that unique warmth and beauty."

My "Romantic Adventure"
The popularity of the Shanhai Villa B&B is well-deserved. You can see the sun shining on the Golden Mountain right from the bed. Check the weather, set the alarm, and there's no need to get up early.
The moment you can see the beautiful scenery while lying in bed, you feel that life is worth living~
The B&B pays great attention to the environment, service, and room facilities.
I love the afternoon tea area on the second floor the most, the mobile viewing platform makes every snapshot a masterpiece.
Snow-capped mountains + lakes + infinity pool, your eyes are filled with the landscape of Lijiang, as if you are in a painting. Order a cup of coffee, watch the clouds roll by, and you can daydream all day long.

Lijiang is a must-visit! Waking up to the view of the sunlit Golden Mountain is just too blissful
This guesthouse is located by the clear stream of Lijiang's Qingxi Lake, and it happens to be right between Lijiang Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town. The design of the guesthouse is also very unique, with a modern minimalist style that blends perfectly with the natural surroundings. Whether it's the lobby, restaurant, or coffee shop, each space feels open and bright~
The most attractive feature has to be the infinity pool facing the snow mountain, the 'Sky's Edge', and the waterborne floating beds. This place is definitely one of Lijiang's top 'Instagrammable' spots for taking photos; every shot is stunning!
In addition to the comfortable accommodation, the guesthouse also offers exquisite breakfast and afternoon tea. Even if you're not staying here, the pool terrace on the second floor is worth visiting. You can invite a few friends to enjoy the snow mountain afternoon tea here, experiencing that unique tranquility and beauty~

A hidden gem at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that 99% of people don't know about! The homestays at the foot of the Lijiang snow mountain are stunningly beautiful
There was no snow on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain this season, so we just randomly picked a homestay at the foot of the mountain which is perfect for zoning out. The movable 'Sky Mirror' and the infinity pool are simply amazing, and I must say, the location choice is absolutely brilliant.
The overall minimalist design with micro-cement and smart home technology opens up to a view of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
It's also a great spot for taking photos, but it was raining continuously when we were there, and the clouds were very low, otherwise, we could have seen the full panoramic view of the snow mountain.
The staff were really enthusiastic! When we were taking photos in the 'Sky Realm', a staff member suddenly pushed out that platform and kept helping us take pictures.

Go to Lijiang, lie down with the kids and watch the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain~
I've come across this guesthouse many times, and finally I'm in Yunnan~
Many internet-famous guesthouses, because they're popular, the attitude of the boss is hard to say.
But not this one, every service staff is very nice.
They're not overly enthusiastic, so you feel disturbed.
Nor are they cold and unhelpful.
When staying in a guesthouse, I pay special attention to details.
There are all kinds of facial towels and makeup remover towels for girls.
These details really touch me!
And then there's breakfast, Chinese style, Western style, none of them are perfunctory.
The breakfast at this guesthouse is the best in my entire Lijiang, Yunnan trip!
Actually, I don't recommend rushing. I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights.
Apart from going to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the middle, I spent the rest of the time in the guesthouse.
Then go for a stroll in the ancient city at night!

It's big, and all the facilities are smart.
Go to the second floor in the afternoon for tea and it's very comfortable.
The little brother in the shop can also help take pictures, and his photography skills are great.
