[2025 Lijiang Restaurant] Travel Guide for SaKura Restaurant (Updated Apr)

🌟There are many ways to explore Lijiang. The most important thing is to find a homestay that suits you in every way. It is the beginning of whether your journey will be smooth and happy. 📷For me, my "dream homestay" is one that has delicious coffee, endless sunshine, interesting shops without tricks, clean and spacious rooms and yards, and most importantly, can take beautiful photos and satisfy my desire to climb up the roof and look around. Lijiang Huamian·Rooftop Coffee | Photography Viewing Garden B&B satisfies all my fantasies. 📍The B&B is located next to the Mu Mansion in Lijiang Ancient Town. It was formerly the Prince Consort's Mansion in the Ming Dynasty and produced seven Jinshi. The yard is large and there are many public areas. The cafe at the door is very suitable for sunbathing and taking pictures. Sitting in the cafe every afternoon, watching people coming and going on the street and chatting with the boss and other tourists is super relaxing. You don't have to go to any attractions and just stay in the B&B. You can also ask the photographer boss to take beautiful photos for you. It is much better than Trip Moments. ☕If you like food, you can't miss this place. Zhongyi Night Market is only 5 minutes away from the homestay. Famous restaurants such as Yunxueli丨Lijiang Mufu Tusi Cultural Restaurant, Prince of Western Yunnan·Dream Back to Lijiang·Local Characteristic Brand (Mufu Bailong Square Store), Zhazha Rice Noodles (Ancient City Store) Sakura Restaurant are all around. ❤In addition to the amazing photos, the B&B owner and his wife are very sincere and there are no tricks. You can enjoy your vacation without worrying about being ripped off. The owner will take you to grab snow mountain tickets (with a probability of over 80%), and tell you which ones you can buy, which ones you can't buy, and where to buy them, so you will spend less money. ☀Huamian is definitely a life you cannot miss when you come to Lijiang.
