Lijiang Old Town's Banmu Liangju Inn: Find Your Zen in a Naxi Courtyard

✨ "Open the window to enjoy the old town scenery, close the door to your private sanctuary." ✨ Arriving in Lijiang Old Town, I often found myself lost amidst the bustling stone streets, until I pushed open the wooden door of Banmu Liangju Inn. In the Naxi courtyard of gray tiles and green bricks, sunlight filtered through bougainvillea, dappling the stone slabs. A lazy Labrador wagged its tail in greeting, instantly melting away all my fatigue. 🛏 "Top-notch Facilities, Impeccable Details" 🛏 This smart inn is full of delightful surprises: - Scenic Terrace: The third-floor terrace offers breathtaking views of the blue sky and white clouds. At night, gaze at the starry sky and breathe in the crisp air. - Soundproof Magic: The traditional wooden architecture of the old town is often criticized for poor sound insulation, but the walls here seem to have silencers. Even the sound of rain at night becomes soothing white noise. 👨‍💼 "The Enthusiastic Owner is a Walking Map of Lijiang" 👨‍💼 The innkeeper, Xiaotang, has lived in Lijiang for nearly a decade, transitioning from a tour guide to an innkeeper. He knows the old town like the back of his hand and personally handles luggage. 💡 "Why We Recommend This Inn" 💡 - King of Value: Smart rooms average around CNY 200/night. Stay for three nights and enjoy free airport transfer. It's not much more expensive than a hostel, but offers a five-star experience. - Emotional Recharge Station: The courtyard swing chairs, tea table, and ever-present warm lighting offer solace to every soul lost in the old town. - Scam-avoidance Guide: The owner provides a thoughtful list of "tourist traps" in the old town, even warning you about bar scams. 📸 "Photo Ops" 📸 - Lazy Afternoons: Enjoy tea in the courtyard's wicker chairs, with the dog dozing at your feet and Naxi grandmothers basking in the sun at the alley's entrance. Pure life. ✨ Tips ✨ 1. Book a room with a view in advance, especially during peak season. 2. Guests have free access to the kitchen and tea room, making it ideal for families with children. 3.
