[2025 Jianchuan Stay] Travel Guide for Linden Centre·Shaxi (Updated May)

Once again, I marvel at the beauty of Dali, which was generated after watching the TV series 'Go to the Place with Wind'. Every location in the drama makes people yearn for, and the guesthouse opened by Xu Hongdou in the last episode is the reason why I came to Dali specifically. This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, as if it is isolated from the outside world. If you come to Dali, don't miss Xilinyuan Hotel (Dali Shaxi Store). Hotel environment: The hotel is located in the Shibaoshan Park, facing the Shilong Village across the lake. It is nestled in a secluded paradise by the mountains and waters, providing a rare rural vacation experience. This is the quiet time and golden exterior building I yearn for. The hotel uses a traditional rammed earth structure, occupying a hilltop, but only has 10 villa rooms. Their appearance presents a Morandi sunset yellow, which is very suitable for taking pictures and gives a sense of grandeur. I particularly like the restaurant and library because they can enjoy the entire lake view, which is simply breathtakingly beautiful. Even if you live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, you need a high-quality life. The rooms are not only spacious but also equipped with floor heating throughout the house and L'Occitane bath products. Welcome fruit, free mini bar, and goodnight hot milk are the highlights of the spare parts. Every day there are butlers leading guests to participate in various activities, the service is very meticulous and thoughtful. Every staff member is very enthusiastic, making people feel at home. There are some attractions worth checking in nearby: 1. Shibaoshan Forest Park: You can hike and meet monkeys on the way. 2. Stroll in Shilong Village: This Bai ethnic village is a low-key treasure. 3. Shaxi Ancient Town: An old and charming small town. Such a secluded secret realm is really worth a special visit! If you come to Dali, you must come here to explore! Detailed address: Inside Shibaoshan Park, Jianchuan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture Travel strategy: It is recommended to drive by yourself (about 2 hours drive from Dali, about 35 minutes drive from Shaxi Ancient Town). Weekday price: About more than 2000.

This year, I'm back in Dali to relax. I escaped the rainy weather in Jiangnan. Traveling during the off-season, the Flight + Hotel deals were unbelievably good. Here's a guide to accommodation options for every budget: 👇 🌅 [Quick Relaxation Zone] 📍 East Huanhai Road (10 mins from the airport) ✔️ Relax immediately upon arrival/Cliffside sunset ❶ Hai Dong Fang (Erhai Blanca on the Cliff) P2 🌊 [Shuanglang Healing Sunset] ✔️ Waterfront terrace/Dining with seagulls/Designer aesthetics ▫️ Only after staying here will you understand what "waking up in a painting" means. ❷ Wendy Boutique Hotel (Poetic Erhai Sunset) P3 ❸ Xi Shang Boutique Hotel (Xie Ke's work is always top-notch) P4 ❹ Yun Qi Boutique Hotel (Healing Waterfront Terrace) P5 🌾 [Xizhou Pastoral Style] ✔️ Keywords: Rice paddy scenery/Secluded healing/Bai ethnic old houses ▫️ Enjoy the deserted corner towers in the early morning ▫️ Private list: ❺ The Traveler's Inn (French style transformed from a Republican-era courtyard) P6 ❻ Yi Xi Boutique Hotel (Open the window to the wind blowing through the wheat fields) P7 🏮 [Ancient City Life] 📍 Around Dali Ancient City ✔️ Convenient for shopping/Longkan sunrise/Foodie paradise ▫️ Rush to Longkan Wharf at 7am without the crowds ▫️ Tested and recommended: ❼ An Yu Boutique Hotel (Prime location in the ancient city) P8 ❽ Hainaer Hotel (Luxurious seclusion) P9 ❾ Yi Shan Wu She Boutique Hotel (Tranquil Chinese-style courtyard) P10 🚗 [Advanced Traveler Route] 📍 Shaxi/Weishan ✔️ Ancient Tea Horse Road/Nanzhao legacy/Slow living ❿ Xilinyuan Hotel (Stay in a 600-year-old village) P11 ⓫ Yun Xi Jinshi Di Boutique Hotel (Stay in a centuries-old Jinshi residence in Weishan) P12 The best strategy in Dali is to leave some regrets for next time. After all, every time you open a different window, you'll encounter a new "wind, flowers, snow, and moon" experience.

Stay at Xilinyuan Rammed Earth Hotel and find peace of mind After a long time of hustle and bustle in the city, I embarked on a journey to Shaxi, Dali, just to find that long-lost peace. Xilinyuan Rammed Earth Hotel in Shaxi is like a paradise hidden from the world, where my restless heart finds a place to rest. When I first saw the hotel, I was deeply impressed by its architectural style. The perfect combination of original stone, red earth, and solid wood structure, and the primitive materials, under the carving of modern design concepts, are not at all out of place, but rather complement each other. Every stone and every piece of red earth seems to tell the story of time, while the smooth lines and unique layout show the charm of modern aesthetics. The hotel is located on the top of Baoshi Mountain National Forest Park in Shaxi, with a perfect location along the lake, giving it a unique landscape advantage. The 360-degree natural scenery surrounds the hotel, and in the distance, the original Bai villages are scattered and look across the lake from the hotel. In the morning, a thin mist rises from the lake, and the smoke from the village rises slowly, like a dream; in the evening, the afterglow of the sunset spills over the lake, sparkling, dyeing the whole world in warm colors. My favorite thing to do is to make a pot of tea in my spare time, sit by the lake or in the courtyard, and quietly feel the heartbeat of nature. The leaves rustle in the forest, the trees whispering in the wind; the water gently lapping the shore, like a soft movement played by nature. Here, time seems to slow down, and all the worries and fatigue are thrown away. When I walked into the room, the modern European style of original wood came to me. The warm wooden furniture and simple decoration create a warm and comfortable living space aesthetic. Every detail is carefully designed, from the soft bedding to the exquisite lighting, all of which show quality and style. Here, I can relax and enjoy the rare peace and comfort. The days at Xilinyuan Rammed Earth Hotel in Shaxi are a time for me to have a deep dialogue with nature and my heart. Here, I learned to slow down and feel every beautiful moment in life. If you also want to escape from the hustle and bustle and return to nature, this is a journey of the soul and a way of life.

Shaxi Ancient Town is the most beautiful ancient town in Yunnan in my mind. After being popularized by 'Go to the Place with Wind', it has not been deviated by commercialization. The unique and simple beauty is still worth a visit. 🚗 Going to Shaxi Shaxi is more than 100 kilometers away from Dali, a 2-hour drive, and the best travel time is 2 days and 1 night.

I have been traveling here for almost half a month. I have summarized some of the places I have visited with design Hotels and restaurants with great views You can also comment in the comments section Share~ Lake, Mountain and Cloud Hidden Shuanglang (Picture~) It is said that its seaside lawn and garden are the largest in Shuanglang. Baby and Yi Mengling have both been there! ! It’s really fairy-like and beautiful inside! The clerk is very enthusiastic and will feed the seagulls with biscuits and help take photos~ Xindi Coffee, near Dali Ancient Town (picture~) There are three floors in total, with a lot of space and great for taking photos. At the door is an ecological corridor where you can ride a bicycle and enjoy a stunning sea view. There are seats in the store that are only for taking photos, so you don’t have to worry about not having a place to take beautiful photos even if there are many people. The cheapest is Americano coffee at 38/cup. Muxidali Shuanglang (photo) A western restaurant that has been visited by many celebrities and internet celebrities. Romantic atmosphere, with a big bougainvillea in the middle. Next door is the very popular mountain coffee, which costs around 100 yuan per person. An Yu Hotel·Dali Ancient Town (Figures 7-9) The service and quality are really amazing, I recommend staying here! There are no disadvantages except that the sound insulation is a bit poor due to the renovation of the old house. Free airport pick-up and afternoon tea are included. What impressed me most was that a travel bag (including sunglasses, umbrella, Anessa sunscreen, customized care kit and other items) was given upon check-in. The breakfast was extremely rich and delicious, with a whole sea cucumber in the millet porridge. The lowest room rate is 1k1 Daji Hotel, near Dali Ancient Town (Figures 10-11) A very design hotel in a wheat field. The view is super wide, and the housekeepers are very enthusiastic. It's a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine. They say the rice they eat is grown in the wheat fields in front of their house, and has a very special taste. The lowest price is 2k Xilinyuan Hotel Shaxi (Figure 12-13) A very special rammed earth architectural design hotel. In a quiet village in the mountains, next to a large reservoir, it feels like a small Switzerland in China. Worth recommending is the restaurant, which restores the delicious taste of the ingredients themselves, with an average of 100 per person. The accommodation rooms are in buildings with large space, and the lowest room price is 2k4. The only drawback is that there are no taxis in the mountains, and local villagers took us out. There is a coffee shop in the mountains·Shaxi (Figures 14-15) This store is still in trial operation and has no positioning. Full of pastoral atmosphere, far away from the world, a super comfortable place! There is also a very cute silver-colored cat inside. You can drive directly to the store entrance. It opens at 1pm and the average ticket is around 50 yuan. (Navigate to Dongtian Manor, take the middle dirt road at the first fork in the road, and take the left dirt road at the second fork in the road) Shanjian Bookstore·Shuanglang (Figures 16-18) It is the same restaurant as Muxidali, but this one is located inside the ancient town. The interior is full of design sense, combining a bookstore and a cafe. The brunch is quite delicious, about 60 per person. Bring your bestie and go together

Some cities and attractions give you the feeling that they are there unless you go there, neither far nor near. If you go, you will start to regret why you didn’t come earlier to enjoy it! Dali is such a magical place. After visiting Dali’s popular attractions, I decided to relax. The Linden Garden Shaxi Hotel has been selected as the filming location for Liu Yifei's TV series "Where the Wind Goes". The hotel is located in the mountains of Shibaoshan Forest Park in Shaxi, Dali. It takes two and a half hours to drive to the hotel from the airport, and about an hour's drive from Shaxi Ancient Town. It's very secluded when you go up the mountain road. The entire hotel's building facade is reddish-brown rammed earth, and the rooms are all stand-alone villas. The four of us girls booked a family suite with two large beds and a single bed. The room is very large, with a large terrace and patio, where we can sit on the terrace and watch the stars at night. The soft furnishings are tasteful and textured. Service: 5 good reviews. The hotel staff are basically local Bai people. They are warm, simple, sincere and friendly. They even send us milk in the evening. Every morning you can eat freshly cooked Yunnan rice noodles with various fresh fruits. You can have lunch and dinner in the hotel restaurant. Yunnan cuisine is sour and spicy, a little salty. If you don’t want to eat in the hotel, you can also go to a restaurant near the hotel. The hotel will send a car to pick you up. In short, if you like a quiet life or want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city for a short time, I highly recommend this hotel. It is a place where you can rest and calm your body and mind.

Go where the wind blows The most surprising hotel in Dali - Shaxi Xilinyuan The hidden and secluded rammed earth hotel is located in Shilong Village deep in the mountains. Almost all the staff are local villagers. They are simple, hardworking and hospitable. There are many activities in the hotel, such as horseback patrol and campfire stargazing. The mountains are the ears and the passing birds are the eyes of Shaxi. Enjoy afternoon tea in the woods on the Ancient Tea Horse Road and listen to Bai love songs and starry sky stories by the campfire This is the meaning of travel.

Yunnan Shaxi Xilinyuan Hotel This hotel is so beautiful, every corner seems to be inlaid in a picture frame, beautiful like a paradise, you can stay here for two days and enjoy the nature quietly; Below the hotel is a large grassland with many horses, cattle and sheep grazing. The scenery is very beautiful and it is a great place to relax.

Beautiful scenery on the journey of life Once again, I came to Shilong Village near Shaxi Ancient Town. Now, due to the low water level of Shilong Reservoir, a whole meadow has been exposed on one side of the reservoir. It is a natural horse farm with many horses grazing on the side. The scenery of the meadow and reservoir under the sun is amazing. You can take your camping equipment and spend a comfortable afternoon there. You can also go fishing, but it is more difficult to catch fish. It suddenly rained on the day I went fishing. Just as I had packed up my fishing equipment and was about to leave, the sun came down from behind and a double rainbow appeared in the sky. It was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it. Beautiful scenery is always something you have to encounter unexpectedly! 🚉Transportation strategy: If you drive from Shaxi Ancient Town, you can directly navigate to Shilong Village Reservoir, Shaxi Ancient Town, Shibaoshan. There is now a newly built Shaping Village Road, which can be reached in about half an hour's drive. However, when we went there on September 20th, the road had collapsed due to heavy rain in the previous period and it is still being repaired. It will be a little difficult to drive, so please pay attention to safety when driving! Another way is to go around Shibao Mountain, which will take a little longer but there will be no landslides. 🍽Dining recommendations: The old-fashioned Shilong Reservoir Ecological Fisherman The old-fashioned Shilong Reservoir Ecological Fisherman ~ The fish in the clear soup is very delicious. Although it is an ordinary grass carp, it tastes very tender and delicious ~ It is worth going there specifically 🛏Hotel recommendation: Xilinyuan Hotel (Dali Shaxi Branch) The hotel is right next to the Shilong Reservoir, built on the mountain, with a great view~

🏜️Shaxi Ancient Town originated in the period of Nanzhao's rise, it is the only surviving market on the ancient tea-horse road, and it is also the ancient town where Xu Hongdou lives in 'A Place with Wind'. 🌅The surrounding natural scenery is beautiful, and the buildings in the city are simple and full of characteristics. You can walk around the whole town in one or two hours, but it is more suitable to calm down and enjoy the slow time. 🚌Transportation We went from Jianchuan, next to the small door of Jianchuan Passenger Station, you can find the green van to Shaxi Ancient Town. The fare per person is 20 yuan, and the journey takes about one hour. The car will directly reach the parking lot of Shaxi Ancient Town Tourist Center.

It takes half an hour to drive from Shaxi to Xilinyuan, which is on the mountain. It is less crowded and quiet, next to a large reservoir. It faces Shilong Village across the water and echoes each other. The hotel's exterior walls are made of the same rammed earth material as Shilong Village. The simple and unified shape is simple and simple yet high-end, complementing the surrounding environment. We arrived at the hotel in the afternoon. It was sunny, then thunderstorm and then clear again. The weather on the plateau is unpredictable. Whether in rain or sunshine, the hotel has a different beauty. We ordered a hotpot for two for dinner, but there was still some left after three adults and one snack. The restaurant's ingredients are sourced from the ancient village opposite, so they are fresh, original and delicious. The hotel was developed and built by an American, Mr. Linden. I didn’t notice it at the time, but after I came back and read more about Xilinyuan, I realized that Mr. Linden was warm and friendly. The hotel was also the filming location of "Where the Wind Goes"
