Li Jiang - best traditional guesthouse! | Lijiang | Nov 1, 2005 04:39
My friend and I have just spent three days in the most beautiful guesthouse and wanted to recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Li Jiang...

It is called Moon Inn and is right in the centre of the old town. Having opened only a couple of mnths ago everything is brand new, immaculately clean. Run by local Naxi Chinese family, it is as close to living with a family as you can get. About 10 double and twin rooms all with en suite bathroom (and Western toilet) The food is delicious and home-cooked and the service is second to none. On our first day we found a bowl of fruit and flowers in our room and breakfast far surpassed anything we had eaten over the past few weeks in hotels...

The owner's daughter is called Li and she speaks fluent English. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and we often sat in the lovely, sunny coutyard to read or drink green tea - brought to us almost whenever we sat down by Li's father.

For anyone who's keen to get away from the tour groups and the impersonal service of hotels this is guaranteed make your trip to Li Jiang!

I'll try to attach a photo of the view from our bedroom window.
