The moment I stepped out of the car, I was impressed by the hotel's luxurious decor and amazing view – a vast field right in front of us. The owner was incredibly kind and even helped with our luggage. After checking in, I just sat on the balcony, enjoying the wonderful breeze, taking photos, and gazing at the rice paddies – literally doing nothing else. Around noon, with the bright sunshine and the wind rustling through the fields, it was an incredibly beautiful and picturesque scene. The courtyard is also gorgeous and perfect for photos. I had planned to go out in the afternoon, but ended up just staying and taking more pictures. The rice paddies are stunning this time of year; I imagine they'll have a different, equally beautiful vibe when they turn golden later. Just sitting there, watching the wind blow through the fields, with not a care in the world, was more relaxing than visiting any attraction. The ancient town's pickup service was very prompt, arriving in about 5 minutes. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious too! 😋

The room was clean and tidy, with a wet/dry separation in the bathroom. They even provided disposable face towels and bath towels, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was well-balanced and delicious, with options like corn and sweet potatoes, steamed buns, rice noodles, eggs, and milk. The courtyard was charming, with comfortable seating, a rock garden, and a fish pond. It was also very convenient for doing laundry.

Lexiao8888This Shaxi hidden gem of a hotel really deserves more than just one night! The facilities are excellent, and the hygiene is top-notch – super clean. The ambiance is incredibly chic and cozy. The service is absolutely fantastic; the staff helped us with all our luggage, which saved us so much effort, especially since the walk from the hotel to the parking lot is quite a distance. Their service was truly outstanding!

This guesthouse has a story to tell. There's a 530-year-old ancient tree right by the entrance, home to a family of squirrels. As soon as I entered the room, I found a pair of chestnut-dyed cloth squirrels placed on the bed. Lying on the third-floor bed, the old tree glowed with life under the setting sun. The indigo-dyed soft couch on the terrace made me fall in love with Yunnan's sunshine, and the abundant flowers and plants everywhere showed the owner's passion for life. The guesthouse manager and the young lady's tea and dishes were unforgettable; that elegant, down-to-earth charm makes me want to return to this place again and again.

Guest UserFirst, I chose this hotel because of its natural countryside scenery and the design of traditional Bai ethnic houses. Living in the ancient town is too noisy and overly commercial. This place is close to the ancient town, close to the lives of Bai villagers, and allows me to enjoy the breeze and scenery of the countryside.
Second, there's a flat parking lot, which is very suitable for low-lying cars.
Also, the owner is very kind and I have access to the kitchen, which is great for those who often eat out and sometimes want to cook.
Time is limited this time, so I plan to stay for two weeks if possible.

Guest UserI'm already home but still thinking about my three days in Shaxi!!!
1. Location + Parking 🅿️: The guesthouse was very easy to find, and since we drove, we wanted a place with parking. There's a small road in front of the guesthouse where you can park, which was very convenient 😊.
2. Ambiance: As soon as we stepped out of the car and entered, we were pleasantly surprised. It's a very comfortable and stylish courtyard. When we didn't go out, sitting in the courtyard and having some tea was incredibly relaxing. I also loved the room's decor – it was clean, hygienic, and had a subtle, pleasant aroma. There were small tables and chairs outside the room where we could relax.
3. Service: The guesthouse owner, the front desk lady, and the auntie were all super nice and enthusiastic. They gave us great tips for exploring the ancient town, and their daily greetings felt like catching up with old friends. (The breakfast was really delicious!)
There's also a super cute cat named Huanhuan at the guesthouse!!!! So spiritual!! And very friendly!!! Every time I came back, I'd look for the cat first, haha!!!
Overall, it was a very happy and relaxing trip! If I get a chance to visit Shaxi again, I'll definitely stay here again 🥰.

Renee C.I had a very pleasant stay at 沙溪归尘 and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Shaxi who is looking for a clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully run homestay.
Room & Facilities
The house is very clean and well maintained — everything feels new and well cared for. My room was cozy and comfortable, and the bed was especially nice, which helped me rest well. One thing I really appreciated was that the room even had a washing machine, which is a big plus for longer trips.
The garden is also lovely and adds to the calm, relaxed atmosphere of the place.
Breakfast & Thoughtful Touches
Breakfast was prepared by the owner, and the 米线 (mixian) was honestly the best I had during my entire Yunnan trip — comforting, well-balanced, and made with care. Before bedtime, the owner even brought us a warm glass of milk 🥛, which was such a thoughtful and heart-warming gesture.
Location & Morning Mist at 玉津桥
One important thing to note for travelers who plan to catch the morning mist or sunrise at 玉津桥: the homestay does not provide early-morning transfer services, only after 9:00am. The homestay is about 1.5km from 玉津桥, so it’s important to arrange your own transport in advance (for example, 小黄车).
I learned this a bit late — at around 7:30am — and almost missed the sunrise timing. Walking there in the early morning was very cold and takes about 30minutes for 1.5km. Luckily, I after walked for a while I met a very kind local let’s call him “小白车师傅” who had just dropped his child at school near the homestay. He generously gave me a free ride to the bridge. Thanks to him, I managed to make it in time.
Minor Miscommunication
At check-in, I was told there would be unlimited transfers to Shaxi Ancient Town, so I assumed that an early drop-off closer to the town (and then walking to the bridge) might be possible. However, in the morning, the owner needed to stay back to prepare breakfast and couldn’t leave. This was a small miscommunication, and it would be helpful if early-morning transport limitations were clarified more clearly in advance.
Overall Impression
Other than this minor issue, my stay at 沙溪归尘 was truly pleasant. The cleanliness, comfort, homemade breakfast, and thoughtful details made it a very warm and memorable experience. I would still happily recommend this homestay and would consider staying again — just with early transport planned ahead next time.

Shuaiqidexiaohouzhi827It was super convenient to get back to the hotel after exploring the ancient town. The design is really impressive, with a natural wood and Song Dynasty-inspired aesthetic that perfectly matches Shaxi's rustic charm. The courtyard with its flowing water, wooden corridors, and the gentle, Zen-like atmosphere as soon as you open the door is just lovely 🍃. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bedding was so soft, and the bathroom facilities were convenient and clean. After a shower, curling up in bed and watching 'Meet Yourself' just melted away all the day's fatigue. There's 24-hour butler service and afternoon tea upon check-in – sipping tea, listening to the wind, and watching the fish play in the pond amidst the misty atmosphere was truly relaxing 🐟. Waking up early, enjoying breakfast, and then just gazing out the window at the scenery, listening to the wind and rain, is truly living that slow-paced 'wind-filled' life.

#Immaculate Cleanliness We always only stay one day at even the best places, but we stayed two days at this place. And we'll definitely come back. Everyone must come, must come, must come! #Service The owners don't treat it like a business, but like hosting guests in their home. In the evenings, we come back together to warm ourselves by the fire, chat, and cook. They even take us to feasts on village celebrations (we couldn't go, but they showed us a recording of the event that evening). They drive us to the ancient town. #Location and Transportation Nestled in farmland, with stunning scenery and easy access by car. #Room Facilities The designer is a friend of the Temple of Heaven. #Breakfast The owner's wife's rice noodles are incredibly fragrant, with fried mushrooms, shredded eggs, fried peanuts, and a variety of side dishes. The millet porridge melts in your mouth. #Room View As shown in the picture. Absolutely amazing. #Bed The bedding is custom-made; I've never seen anything so comfortable.
