Lijiang Tianyage Inn in Lijiang

During this trip to Lijiang, I stayed at YINJIAN Yinjian·Designer Private Holiday Viewing Courtyard, and the experience was perfect! The courtyard design is very ingenious, combining traditional Naxi architectural elements with modern aesthetics, dotted with flowers and plants, and a scene at every step. The room is spacious and bright, with complete smart equipment, soft and skin-friendly bedding, and the viewing balcony faces the scenery of the ancient city. In the morning, you can see the continuous green tiles when you open the window, and you can also encounter the beautiful sunset in the evening.
The boss is warm and hospitable. Not only does he plan the tour route attentively, but he also shares authentic food guides. Breakfast is freshly made Yunnan specialty rice noodles, which are fresh and delicious. The location is excellent, and you can walk to Sifang Street, which is quiet in the bustling city. Here you can feel the charm of the ancient city and enjoy a private and comfortable rest space. Highly recommended!

The boss is very good, he can carry two pieces of luggage easily. He helped me carry the luggage when I was tired from playing for the past two days, which really saved me a lot of effort. The room design is really beautiful and clean. The room we booked is very large and comfortable. The location is very good. It is just a few steps away from the viewing platform. It is very close to the most lively place in the scenic area, but it is not noisy at all when sleeping at night. Afternoon tea, evening drinks and breakfast are all available. The service is very good. The afternoon tea is delicious. The service is five-star. The stay is also very comfortable. I will stay here again next time.

Dyson hair dryer, heating pad, steam eye mask, everything is available. The scenery is great and the night view is even better. It is very close to the ancient city and only a few minutes to Sifang Street. It's just that it's too difficult to book this room, especially this room type...

The room is very large, especially suitable for family travel and outings with girlfriends. However, because it is a shared space, this room type is not recommended for those with poor sleep. Walking around at night will affect each other a little. However, this room has a small living room where it is fun to watch projection and eat supper together. The hotel provides afternoon tea, free coffee, good night sweet soup every night, and rice noodles for breakfast. The only drawback is that the water heater always fails to adjust the temperature.
Finally, I must praise the housekeeper An Zihuo. We forgot a few bags at the pick-up point of the reception building. After an hour, we reacted and contacted the housekeeper. The housekeeper helped us find the luggage as soon as possible and kept it for us until we came back from Yulong Snow Mountain. He also helped us send it back to the drop-off point of the reception building!

The room is very clean and warm. The small balcony overlooks the entire ancient city. The homestay is quaint and has the characteristics of the ancient city. It is very convenient to go out to the ancient city. The boss is very nice and enthusiastic. He sent afternoon tea, coffee, and Tremella soup, and helped with the luggage. It left us with many good memories of our trip to Lijiang. If we stay longer, we will continue to live here. It must be praised with 5 stars.

Hotel boss is fabulous , help us carried our luggage through the ancient city rocky pathway. Treated us with a team of very welcoming staff , brought us to a tea treat while waiting for admission. Arranged private tour for us within a limited time , great stay with a 10/10 overall view of the ancient city . Highly recommended to stay here , easily accessible to the ancient city and town

The inn is located on 狮子山, thus do reach out to the team via WeChat in advance to arrange for help with carrying the luggage from the road. The family room is extremely huge with 4 beds, a large bathroom and a projector. The staff is also very warm and helpful. He even helped to arrange for courier delivery of my luggage when 1 piece was left out on the stone bench when boarding the car! An overall very enjoyable stay. Definitely will recommend!

me and my family had a great 3-night stay here. love every bit of this place. the room is spacious, beds are comfortable and the service is top notch! also, i love their afternoon tea and coffee a lot! thanks to 小熊 and the crew for their great hospitality and always being so thoughtful and helpful 🫶 meeting nice people like them have made my travel experience in Lijiang more memorable. overall review is definitely worth more than 5 stars!

This is our family's first experience staying in a 民宿/Inn. This establishment is located INside Lijiang Ancient Town 丽江古城 (UNESCO world heritage site) and on a cobbled slope.
PRO
-The people running the place are very friendly and helpful. They helped us with every request including pre-booking car rides/transfers/day trip etc. We used data-esim so we do not have a local mobile#. We contacted inn before arriving via wechat and was able to arrange complimentary train pickup service. The staff helped carry our luggage to/from the transport points up/down cobbled slope to the Inn's lobby. The staff were all very helpful and patient with us (first time travellers to China). Thank you!
-Family room is clean and spacious, equipped with 智能管家 AI voice-operated facilities and DYSON hair-dryer. Room has big glass windows which let in natural life and view of Old Town.
-Breakfast is local porridge, picked vegetables, eggs, rice noodles 米线
CON
There are restaurants and convenience store within steps from the INN. To get to the Old Town's center where they are more food options is a down cobbled stone path 10-15mins walk. After that, it is the same way up slope to get back. Alternatively, it is to take a 5mins walk up cobbled path to the car drop-off point (Lion Head Lookout point), then walk via stairs/path down or call a DiDi. We tried both ways. Twice, the DiDi we were in were not allowed up the drive way by the security guarding the road up the Lion Head. Only registered cars are allowed in so we had to get off and walk.
The location is both a pro and a con especially if you have elderly or very young travelling companions.

Our stay at Yinjian Inn was absolutely delightful, and we’d strongly recommend it to anyone traveling to Lijiang. The hospitality here is unparalleled and truly top-notch. From the moment we booked, the inn's owner reached out to us via WeChat. She responded promptly to all our queries, making us feel cared for and welcomed. Communication was smooth and friendly throughout our 3D2N stay. I really need to point out the EXCEPTIONAL service provided by the owner and staff. For those familiar with 丽江古城 (Old Town of Lijiang), you’d know how challenging it can be to navigate its cobblestone streets, especially with heavy luggage. The inn owner kindly helped us carry our bulky luggage from the Didi drop-off point to our rooms, which was a lifesaver. Moreover, she noticed that my grandparents had some difficulty walking and graciously upgraded us to a larger family room on the ground floor to spare them from climbing stairs. Every day, we were treated to dessert soup, fresh fruits, and a hearty breakfast. It felt like being pampered with home-cooked meals that left us feeling nourished and too full to enjoy the other street food sold in the 古城. Situated on 狮子山 (Lion Hill) within 丽江古城, Yinjian Inn boasts one of the best locations in the area. Perched at the highest point, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, both from the rooms and the nearby Didi drop-off point, which is just a minute's walk away. While the walk down to the busier parts of the 古城 is easy and filled with charming shops and eateries, the climb back up can be a bit of a workout. However, the picturesque views and opportunities to rest and visit the stores along the way more than make up for it. Our room was clean and well-furnished, blending modern comfort with traditional Chinese aesthetics. The room included all the necessary amenities- also don't worry, there is a bidet with all sorts of cool functions. My family and I left with full hearts (and stomachs!) and immense gratitude for the care we received. So YES, please don't hesitate to choose this place :)
我们在YINJIAN客栈的住宿体验非常愉快，强烈推荐给前往丽江的姐妹们！这里的服务堪称一流，真正体现了顶级的待客之道。从我们预订开始，客栈老板就通过微信联系了我们，所有问题都能得到迅速回复，让我们感到非常受照顾和欢迎。在整个3天2晚的入住期间，沟通始终顺畅而且友好。我必须特别提到老板和工作人员提供的卓越服务。熟悉丽江古城的人都知道，那里布满石板路，拖着沉重的行李行走非常困难。而客栈老板非常贴心地从滴滴下车点帮我们把行李搬到房间，简直是救星！更令人感动的是，她注意到我的祖父母行动有些不便，还贴心地为我们免费升级到一楼的家庭大房间，让他们免去了上下楼梯的辛苦。客栈的食物也必须大力表扬！每天都有糖水、新鲜水果和丰盛的早餐供应。老板亲自在厨房里烹饪这些食物，仿佛是在享受家人准备的美味家常餐。每餐都让我们感到身心满足，以至于连古城里的其他美食都没机会品尝！客栈位于丽江古城的狮子山上，地理位置绝佳。作为古城的最高点，这里可以俯瞰整个城市的壮丽景色，无论是房间里还是离客栈仅1分钟步行的滴滴下车点，景色都令人赞叹。从这里下到热闹的古城核心区域非常方便，路上还有许多小店和餐馆。不过爬回客栈可能稍微费点力气，但沿途的风景和商店提供了充分的休息和乐趣，完全值得。我们的房间干净整洁，装修结合了现代舒适感和传统中式美学风格。房间内的设施一应俱全，特别要提到配备了各种功能的高端智能马桶，让人非常惊喜和舒适！无论是和朋友、家人一同旅行，还是独自前往，我们都强烈推荐YINJIAN客栈。我的家人和我带着满满的感激和满足离开了这里，所以答案是肯定的——千万别犹豫，就选这家客栈吧！😊
