Nazhu Sky Courtyard Designer Snow Mountain View Homestay (Lijiang City Rizhao Jinshan Branch)

Most of my hotels during my trip in China have been good, but this one was my favorite. The location —right by the ancient city and easy to catch a ride to anywhere else. From the airport bus it’s about 12minute walk. And maybe 15min from the ancient city entrance. You get an open sky view and can see Jade Dragon Snow mountain from the roof quite clear. The rooms—are clean and have automatic lighting and window curtains. They upgraded my room for free and it was quite spacious and met all my needs. Though there isn’t a fridge to store things, so keep in mind. The room has AI as well. The meals/tea—on the 5th floor is where all the meals and tea is served looking out at the mountain. The breakfast was the same, and if you’re from western countries don’t expect a western breakfast. The noodles and fried side dish was delicious-I love a good savory breakfast. I wasn’t able to try the afternoon tea (which is so good) until my last day, and they let me come back after check out before I took a taxi to the airport. The evening tea is butter tea, but I didn’t drink it as I had tried it previously elsewhere and wasn’t a huge fan. The staff—everyone is very kind and helpful and always greeting you when you come. I had some issues with the AI in the room and they were quick to come help fix it. And when I made a mistake during food delivery one of the staff was so kind enough and went to get it for me 😭 so they all went above and beyond. Most of our conversation was through translating apps but that never stopped them making sure I was comfortable during my visit.
