Away from the crowd of Lijiang a quiet place to rest, with a nice garden, comfortable rooms, a touch of authenticity and a very reasonable price. Mu Li will welcomes you with a cup of tea and delicious cookies and enjoy the sound of the Goudzen Gu-jun during breakfast.

The staff is so friendly, not artificially, like you see in grand hotels but really, heartfully friendly. We arrived very late, tired and the welcoming tee and cookies were god-sent. Even when I met our hostess wandering on the streets of Lijiang, she greeted me happily and it was really nice to see her again in the morning. What to... More

I had found this hotel through an internet search, and although hard to find, the hotel sent a person to the main road to lead the way. This place turned out to be a fantastic surprise. The lobby has the feel of a small and beautiful antique shop. The staff are very friendly, offering tea and snacks every time I... More

I stayed four nights in this lovely hotel, on the top floor. Communication in English by email with the owner, Ms He, was easy. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are simple but pleasant enough, especially considering the very reasonable price for such a prime location.

This is the first time I am writing a review without staying there.... I called the hotel directly checking for availability, the hotel staff checked the dates and said rooms are available, she proceeded to ask me my details (name and number etc.) without actually telling me the room rates. And surprisingly enough when I did get round to ask... More

Delightful place. Comfortable room, lute player in the morning to soothe your tired and travelled soul while you enjoy a lovely breakfast. Good Yunnan coffee (Yunnan/Vietnam are known for their top quality coffee). Gorgeous furnishings. Only criticism is that you can hear every, single sound, i.e. kids jumping up and down on the floors, running about, etc., ROOM TIP: Try... More

This hotel is a real escape from the heaving crowds of Lijiang’s tightly-packed streets. The calm washes over you the instant you pass through the front door, even though it is less than 60 seconds walk from the tourist turmoil. We stayed in the Zen Garden for three nights December 2012 and were looked after extremely well from the minute... More
