Hotel berhampiran Sidengjie, Jianchuan

Room amenities are comprehensive; shows owner has thought through travellers’ needs very well. There’s a platform for star gazing and watching the sunrise too. Amazing experience! Thank you for the wonderful service. Very thankful for kind owner and friendly staff. Wish we’ve stayed here longer. Will be back again!

Other rooms were built with the idea of following the local culture and history in their layout. Of course, you will find every comfort of today’s world. To create this balance, the original roof was lifted. Then, modern bathrooms with all amenities were installed. All the while, the finish of the wooden furniture reflects the history of the Bai people. The furniture itself was designed with clean lines to give them a modern feel. Each room lets in beautiful natural lighting alongside meticulous wood or granite flooring.

This hotel is a gem in Shaxi Town and should not be missed. We are happy to have had the opportunity to stay for 1 night, and only wished we had more days in Shaxi. The hotel is in a beautifully restored ancestral home, with rooms that are modern and beautifully appointed with a lot of thoughtful amenities provided. Breakfast and afternoon tea were delicious. The hotel staff from the ladies at the front desk to housekeeping were really friendly and helpful. They gave us recommendations on what to see and where to eat in Shaxi. We appreciated the extra touches such as having warm milk brought to our rooms as a nightcap. Special thanks to Yan Yan who took care of us on our last day and was also our teacher in the Jia Ma wood printing experience. We had a great time during the experience and left Shaxi with a special souvenir.

Pleasant and comfortable stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Shaxi and this B&B. The room was modern and clean with essential amenities and snacks provided as well. The host runs the B&B single-handedly with just one cleaner to help. It is admirable and amazing how she manages to provide excellent service and keep the B&B in great condition, whilst taking care of her adorable baby! The host even provides buggy shuttle service to and from the Shaxi ancient town and will be able to arrange for drivers if you wish to go to more inaccessible sightseeing locations where DiDi pick up might be uncertain.
