GGuest UserThe B&B is located in a villa complex. The main gate is a five-minute walk from the South Gate of Shuhe Ancient Town, and the location is accurate. You can park your car right in front of the B&B. There's also a back gate in the complex, and once you exit, the East Gate of Shuhe Ancient Town is just across the road.
Service: The owner was incredibly warm and friendly, offering tips and advice for sightseeing, just like family. The auntie's mixed sauce rice noodles were delicious and everything was clean and hygienic. Highly recommend!

GGuest UserThank you so much, Sister Bing. We couldn't book a room for another day, but Sister Bing was so nice to accommodate me and my friend. My friend and I went to bed late, so I hope we didn't disturb Sister Bing during our stay. Every time we came back, the owner would greet us and say ”I'm back”, which was like going home. I highly recommend it to friends in Lugu Lake, you won't be disappointed! There is also a very cute cat named Big Bear.

ZZiyoulvxingdesensenI highly recommend this hostel for solo travelers visiting Lijiang. If you're too tired to trek to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for sunrise, you can climb a ladder from the balcony to the rooftop in the morning to catch the ”Golden Mountain in the Sun” – no need to go all the way there and back, haha! It's super close to the Old Town, less than 1 km away, so it's perfect for an evening stroll. If you have some free time, you can also head to Black Dragon Pool for another stunning view of the sunrise on the mountain. This hostel feels like it's the closest one to Black Dragon Pool Park, which is free and gets quite busy in the mornings. The hostel owner is a great guy; he's always ready to help with any requests. You'll often see him cleaning rooms and tidying the courtyard during the day – he's really meticulous about cleanliness. The balcony is huge, perfect for sunbathing. I noticed all the sheets and duvet covers were drying, so each bed definitely gets fresh linens 😂. I had such a good stay that I extended for several days. I'll definitely be back next time!
8.5/10
GGuest UserChepaest hostel but it did not disappoint. Bed and everything was clean. Pillow and comforter was provided as well. You can wash your clothes yourself with minimal charge and hang it there to dry. Around 10mins away to the old town (I0mins walk). They can arrange tour for your as well. Recommend!

AAlice Kang88The location is near to HuTuWo farm which is walkable 15 mins, it's about 40 mins +- if you take a taxi from LiJiang Ancient to BaiSha Ancient Town.
We enjoy the famous local speciality - rose bun by ManTou Shiren and XiaoLongBao and GuanTangBao nearby.
This hostel is located at BaiSha Ancient Town which have a perfect scenery view for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
But too bad there is bad weather when we arrive there so we couldnot have a clear view but we do enjoy the stay there.
But outside the room is open living area with many trees and we found out small insect appear in our room that cause us very scary and could not sleep well but the PIC did come to help and take off the insect after non-stop several calls at 10.30pm 😬
The photos with animal is in HuTuWo which is walkable 15 mins from this hostel.

CChilldianmeiwentiThe room is very spacious as a whole, and each passenger has his or her own electronic cabinet. You can also play with young people from different places here. The food in the store is also very amazing. There are sweet and savory, and you can see different dishes on the same table. In the evening, they all get together to play board games, and the whole hall is filled with laughter, hahaha. I will come with my friends next time if I have a chance!

GGuest UserI went for it for the price, but still some lacking things surprised me. The bed was hard, the walls in the room were mostly dirty and stained from both human use and mosquito splatters. There was rarely someone available for inquiries and the outside toilet was a big downside, since it was quite cold, especially at night. Having a kitchen to use was definitely a plus and the rooftop areas were pretty nice, although messy. I was sad to see all the animal they have spend the whole day caged or chained 😔
7.9/10
YYouyou 1031Because I don't like the hustle and bustle of Dayan Ancient Town, I came to Shuhe. And I usually choose a youth hostel when I go out alone.
The K2 I stayed in this time really exceeded my expectations and gave me a lot of surprises.
A youth hostel that has been open for more than ten years, located in the center of Shuhe Ancient Town, has a large and beautiful courtyard.
Sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea, basking in the sun and watching the clouds is already a happy feeling, and I don't want to go out at all😂😂😂
The main thing is that you can share lunch. The big sister who cooks is a full-time cook. The dishes are delicious. 20 yuan per person is very cost-effective.
You can also learn to copy scriptures and make incense. It is very suitable for friends who want to meditate and cultivate themselves like me!
There is a handsome cat named Dabao, who always likes to stick to the store manager Xiao Sun and ignores me🥺🥺
I didn't have enough time this time, but I have just left and I am already planning to stay for a few more days next time.
In short, it is highly recommended! It is simply the utopia of Lijiang!
Small tip: If you are picky about the room, please choose to stay carefully. After all, it has been open for many years and some infrastructure may be a bit old, but it can be used normally!

GGuest UserUncles and aunts are very good, the room is clean and tidy, it is OK from the ancient city, it can be reached on foot, but the toiletries are a bit scrawled, the paper cup is broken once the water is received, there is nothing wrong with other places, and it is recommended
