Very pleasant stay, a little home abroad.
Pros:

A great place, located in a quiet and peaceful area in Shuhe ancient town. It occupies a historic property comprised of beautifully renovated, authentic houses. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, especially to children, who can pet the cat, read the available children's books, or watch a children's DVD in the mezzanine near the entrance, while the parents can enjoy various varieties of locally brewed beer. We appreciated having our evening meals and relaxing in the hotel dining room after a day of intense sightseeing. We also appreciated the staff's helpfulness upon arrival; they met us at the entrance of the Shuhe ancient town and carried our luggage, as well as their availability very early in the morning the day of our departure. We truly felt at home!

Comodo e confortevole soggiorno a shue
Pros:

Struttura molto particolare, non propriamente tipica cinese, ma un po più hipster occidentale. Camere bellissime, pulizia ottima. La struttura offre anche tanti servizi come corsi e massaggi. Si trova in centro a shuè non a lijiang.
Ottimo il kit di benvenuto ed è super attrezzata per il clima del luogo

A gem on the Tea Horse road
Pros:

We loved this place in Shuhe Ancient Town. It is a small boutique hotel with nice room with all confort.
The style is authentic and the staff is very nice. The breakfast is superlative. We also have a private tour organizza by them in Yunnan and it was perfect. We would love to come back again.

Cons:

Nothing. Just keep in mind you are in China and not all the staff speaks a good English…but it is not a problem.

A lovely stay at Bivou!
Pros:

Our stay at The Bivou at Shuhe Old Town was truly exceptional. The location is perfect — serene and scenic, yet just a short stroll from the charming streets of Shuhe. The host and staff were genuinely warm and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. The room was beautifully designed, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a lovely retreat after a day of exploring. Every detail reflected care and thoughtfulness. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend The Bivou to anyone visiting Lijiang.

Cons:

Nothing! It is amazing! Just wished I had stayed longer!
