Lijiang Ancient Town - Green Willows Inn.

I give 10 stars! Xiao Qu, the boss was very warm, friendly and really took a great care of us while we were staying there. He made us feel right at home. Before we arrive, he chatted with us to ask our whereabouts, sent the drop off location and to tell that he would pick us up. When we arrived, he handled our luggages, offered us tea and made the check in process very quick because we were tired from travelling all day. We also booked JDSM tour with him so that was very convenient for us. The view from the balcony was so breathtaking. The pictures didn’t do it justice. As for the room, everything was great. They had both air conditioning and heater which was convenient. The boss also asked beforehand if the room needed to be cleaned or not, which was very convenient for us who liked to sleep in after long day of sightseeing. There was also washing machine for guests to use, free of charge. They also have two very cute cats! More importantly, the back door is close to main road and main door leads you right into the ancient city, which is super easy for us to wait for taxi or get into the ancient city. And for Muslims, there are a few halal restaurants just a few minutes walk from the inn. Every time we came back from our walks, the boss would greet us and it put a smile on our faces. On our last night there, we had tea and chatted with him. He was indeed a warm person, and funny too! Not to mention, handsome 🤭 If I ever come back to Lijiang (I will!), I would stay at this inn again 🤍 Please consider this inn, it is truly a hidden gem!

I had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse in Lijiang. The owner is incredibly helpful, kind-hearted, and considerate, going out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable experience. The room was very nice, tidy, and spotlessly clean, providing everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The location is also excellent—within walking distance to the ancient old town and all the key tourist attractions. It's a perfect place to stay if you want to explore the heart of Lijiang without any hassle. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Lijiang, and I hope to return soon! ☺️🙂🇲🇾

1. Great location. The front door will lead you to the ancient town and the back door gave the access to the main road. Make it easier to carry your luggage to the guesthouse. For Muslim, there are 3 Halal eateries near the guesthouse (on the main road) and the convenience store nearby sell halal instant noodle. 2. Staff/Owner: Kind young man who has been helping us buying bus ticket online, carrying our luggage when we arrived and going back. Always remind us to inform him if we need help with anything. We communicate with him using wechat app since we can’t speak chinese. 3. Room : Clean and spacious enough to open two medium size suitcase. Plus point - the guesthouse provide normal cloth bath towels, not disposable. And the bathroom comes with automatic bidet toilet. The only thing that lacking in the bathroom is there is no place to hang your cloth. Hope the owner can improve on that. And also they have two cute cats to welcome you there.

There doesn’t seem to be a front entrance to this property but on entering through the small back door to the kitchen you see a lovely courtyard. The location is ideal. You’re on the edge of old town of Lijiang which means it was to easy to explore the old town and also for accessing transport to further afield. I was able to communicate any issues with the boss on wechat in English which was very helpful. I never actually met him though. The other young boss at the hotel was brilliant and very helpful. The staff were very friendly too. The spacious room was clean though the mattress is a bit hard. I think this is common in China. Would certainly stay there again if I should ever return to beautiful Lijiang.
