Fanchenli Inn (Lijiang Dashuiche Branch)

This establishment was everything we hoped it would be and more! So it rightfully deserves a review in both english and mandarin. FanChenLi Inn is a family run minsu, opened 4 years ago. The husband and wife team were once tour group planners who planned non commercial type tours for tourists who wanted something more authentic. Their hospitality was through the roof, they always went the extra mile and we would 110% come back! The property is very aesthetically pleasing with many common areas to hang out in, there is always fruits and tea, and it’s very conveniently located - just a short 5-7 min walk into the ancient city. Their son, Ah Song, is extreme well versed in the way of tea, having learnt from him father from a tender age. We had tea with him several times where he introduced us to the various teas, fruit wines and even local produce from Lijiang. We really enjoyed these sessions as we felt they were like chats between friends. They also sometimes grind their own Yunnan coffee beans for guests! We stayed for 2 nights and had a spacious, clean and comfortable room with a huge bed. The room had an open plan living room, a tv projector, a hidden alcove for a bath and a very functional bathroom. We were constantly taken care of. When we couldn’t order take away they helped without hesitation and gave us many local recommendations on where to go. 这家民宿完全超出了我们的期待！因此它值得同时用英文和中文来好好赞美一番。 梵尘里•设计师花园美宿民宿，开业已有四年。老板夫妻曾经是旅游团策划人，专为想要体验更真实、更非商业化旅行的游客规划行程。 他们的热情好客真是满分，总是为客人多走一里路，我们绝对会百分之一百一再光顾！整个院子非常有美感，设有许多可供休憩的公共区域，随时都有水果和茶水供应，而且位置极佳——步行 5 到 7 分钟即可到达古城。 他们的儿子阿松从小便跟随父亲学习茶道，造诣颇深。我们与他多次一起品茶，他细心地为我们介绍各种茶叶、水果酒，甚至还有丽江的当地特产。我们非常享受这些时光，感觉就像和朋友聊天一样。他们有时还会为客人现磨云南咖啡豆呢！ 我们在这里住了两晚，房间宽敞、干净又舒适，大床超大。房间是开放式设计，有客厅、投影电视、一个隐蔽的泡澡区，以及非常实用的卫浴空间。 在整个入住期间，我们始终被细心照顾。当我们无法点外卖时，他们毫不犹豫地帮忙，还热情地给了我们许多本地游玩的建议。

This homestay is good, everything controlled by 小度小度. They free upgraded our room, we enjoy everything over here. The owner is friendly and help us solve a lot of things. They also help us collect our Taobao before we reached the hotel. Their breakfast is nice and they also prepared breakfast to us when we go out earlier to 玉龙雪山 tour. Everything’s is perfect, except sometimes they will smoking inside the common area which we cannot accept it.

Fanchenli inn deserve beyond the best rating in every aspects. Staff & Service: We received a warm welcome from the hotel owner and staff since the first step arrive to the hotel. The owner also sent the taxi to pick up us from the Lijiang railway station. Location: the hotel located just 5 minute walk to the North gate of Lijiang ancient town (the giant waterwheel), and also surrounded by the convenient stores and restaurants. However, we enjoyed the quite and peaceful moment when we are in the hotel. Room: The room is very comfortable with the clean and cozy decoration. All equipments are very-well functioned. Our room also have the balcony which allows us to enjoy the fresh air. This is the first time for me and my family visited Lijiang, I will definitely come back and Fanchenli is definitely my first choice to stay. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends for sure.
