[2025 Jianchuan Hotels] Travel Guide for Holiday Hotel (Updated Jul)

🏨 The design resembles a mini French manor, with the flower beds at the entrance, black wrought-iron windows on the walls, and the fireplace inside, all exuding a romantic French ambiance. What’s even more fun is that the moment you step into the room, you’ll exclaim, "My god, I bought that expensive straw hat too soon!" The room comes with a stylish French straw hat (the design and quality are much better than the one I bought), making every photo look like a masterpiece. The afternoon tea and breakfast were delightful surprises—aesthetically pleasing with beautiful plating and, more importantly, delicious flavors. Late at night, warm and comforting white fungus soup was delivered to the room, leaving me craving it even after checkout. There’s a plum tree at the entrance, laden with red plums that look absolutely charming. The friendly front desk staff—handsome guys and lovely ladies—picked plenty for me to try, and they were incredibly sweet. Just a 5-minute walk away is Yujin Bridge. Waking up early for a stroll on the bridge is so relaxing. Nearby is the top-rated restaurant Xibao Shangfan, making it super convenient to explore the area. #BoutiqueStay #B&BRecommendation #TravelDiary #DouStayPicks #YunnanTravel #ShaxiTravel #ShaxiB&B #GoWhereTheWindTakesYou #SummerGetaway #HiddenGemTravel

|Live in the cottage in the poem. This time when I went to Liyang, I felt like I was living in a small house in a poem. The small road I drove in was full of reeds, and the dozen or so guest rooms in the mountains were as quiet as a painting. B&B:Banxi Mingyue Location: Shaxi Ancient Town The entire homestay is very large, surrounded by mountains and water, with a large backyard, a glass house restaurant, a bar, and a swimming pool. They are all in a pastoral style. When the breeze blows, there is a hint of autumn coolness. The room is very spacious. You can vaguely see the green mountains in the distance when you open the window of the parent-child room. The most beautiful room type is [Endless Summer], which has a whole lotus pond and moonlight. The small courtyard at the door is really nice for taking photos. The original wood color wooden fence looks mottled and lazy in the morning sun. There is also a small farm and cafe next to the B&B, where you can also hold team building, camping and picnic activities! There is a Walden Bookstore nearby. Next to the bookstore is a small hill that looks like a cloud. It must be a scene from a cartoon. Tired from work, quickly hide in the mountains! Enjoy a long-lost relaxation
