This guesthouse is an absolute gem. It is nestled in the middle of Lijiang old town - simply walk out the courtyard door and start exploring the maze of cobble-stone streets, with their fantastic shops and eateries. I stayed in two different rooms as I split my stay in Lijiang with two nights hiking in the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Both rooms were cosy, beautifully decorated and had lovely outdoor sitting areas, where I could enjoy the peaceful comings and goings of the traditional courtyard setting. The family were friendly and Judy - who speaks English - with the help of her father organised onward train tickets, train station transfers and a bus to the Tiger Leaping Gorge for me. They also stored my luggage during my trek. I would defintitely stay here again - it was charming and exceptional value for money.
