Centrally located in Lijiang Ancient Town, Xilu Xiaoxie Inn features cosy accommodation with traditional Chinese furnishings and modern facilities. Free Wi-Fi access is provided in the entire property. Guests can use self-laundry and dryer facilities for free. My stay at 夕露小榭古城南门店 (Xilu Xiaoxie Inn – Old Town Lijiang) was nothing short of exceptional, and the experience was truly made special by Sanqian, who runs the hotel with incredible warmth, care, and professionalism. From the moment I arrived, Sanqian made me feel genuinely welcome—not like a guest, but like someone coming home. She is attentive without being intrusive, thoughtful in every detail, and always ready to help with a kind smile. Whether it was offering local tips, helping with transportation, or simply checking in to make sure everything was perfect, her dedication shines through in everything she does. The inn itself is beautiful—peaceful, clean, and full of traditional charm, perfectly located near the south gate of Lijiang Old Town. It’s a quiet retreat from the crowds while still being close to everything. The rooms are comfortable, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. What truly sets this place apart, however, is Sanqian’s personal touch. Her passion for hospitality transforms a great stay into a memorable one. You can feel how much heart she puts into the inn, and it shows in every corner of the property and every interaction with guests. If you’re looking for a place in Lijiang that offers not just comfort and location, but genuine human warmth, Xilu Xiaoxie Inn is the place—and Sanqian is the reason. I would return without hesitation and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Lijiang.

This recently renovated homestay is located less than 1 km from Guangbi Tower and a 4-minute walk from Baisui Bridge. Every room comes with a patio with views of the garden. Exceptionally good. Located in the heart of lijiang ancient town, but at the same time in a very quiet area, as some parts of the town can get very loud and busy at night, So the location is perfect. All the staff are very attentive and helpful, and they went out of their way to provide halal items for our breakfast. The place is designed beautifully, the rooms and beds are comfy. We never asked for making up the rooms, but everyday the trash was taken out, provided with new clean towels, amenities and water, which was much appreciated.
