"I would say the location of the hotel isn't really that good, you need to travel like around 15mins with vehicle to get to the hotel from the old town. But the environment there is awesome, it got a prefect view there. Also, the staff was being very nice and helpful in suggesting where to visit. Overall, it quite a nice experience to have a stay there."

Lijiang Hotel JunPoXuan

10/10 Excellent
"We had an AMAZING time. We were so pleasantly surprised to learn this hotel is actually owned by the same family for over 100 years. It truly feels like you are staying with family. The Chinese breakfast was excellent (the baba was my favorite) - they also have Western style breakfast. Amy was so helpful in helping us make restaurant reservations, and great recommendations. We even did a free tea tasting and bought a lot of excellent tea. Truly a wonderful time, could not recommend it enough! The room was clean and perfect. The location is excellent as well. There even is free laundry on site!"
