The hotel's own dining covers you well: Basil Leaf Restaurant serves international and Asian dishes, 7 Colors Restaurant offers Chinese cuisine, and the Lobby Lounge has light snacks and tea. For local flavors, the Chinese restaurant prepares Lijiang specialties like small-pot rice noodles and yak milk yogurt. Since the Old Town of Lijiang is a 9-minute walk away, you can easily find eateries there. For a hands-on option, consider the Lijiang Naxi Cuisine Cooking Class & Market Visit, which combines a market tour with cooking. The hotel's Cafe and Bar are also on site for casual bites and drinks.
The hotel sits right at the southern edge of Lijiang's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, so you are steps from its cobblestone lanes, traditional Naxi architecture, and the lively Sifangjie market square. The Old Town of Lijiang is a 9-minute walk away, and the Black Dragon Pool is about 2.1 km from the property. The resort itself is set in extensive gardens with views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, giving a calm, resort feel while being close to the historic center. For day trips, Jade Water Village is 15.7 km and Blue Moon Valley is 29.0 km away, so those require a car or tour. The area is peaceful and scenic, with the convenience of the ancient town right on your doorstep.
From Lijiang Sanyi Airport, the hotel is about 28 km away, roughly a 30-minute drive; a taxi or pre-booked transfer is the straightforward option. From Lijiang Railway Station, it's about 7 km, around 15 minutes by car, and a taxi is the easiest way. The hotel is on Xianghe Road in the Old Town District, so drivers will know it. No airport or local shuttle is offered, so plan for a taxi or ride-hailing service. The walk from the station area isn't practical, so stick with a vehicle for a smooth arrival.
In the evening, the Old Town of Lijiang is just a 9-minute walk away, where you can wander the lantern-lit streets and soak up the local atmosphere. Back at the hotel, the Bar and Lobby bar offer a relaxed spot for a drink, and the Cafe and Restaurant serve evening meals. For a different pace, the hotel's own dining venues provide a comfortable end to the day. If you want to explore further, the Old Town's many lanes are easy to reach on foot from your doorstep.
Yes, the hotel is a great base for exploring Lijiang. The Old Town of Lijiang is just a 9-minute walk away, so you can easily wander its lanes and squares. Black Dragon Pool is 2.1 km from the hotel, a pleasant trip by taxi or a longer walk.
