At the homestay, all units include a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and bathrobes, units at the homestay also feature free WiFi, while some rooms have a terrace. At the homestay, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. Beautiful courtyard, adorable dog. The room was clean and warm. Everyone at the guest house was incredibly friendly, especially the "Teacher" was well traveled and interesting to chat with. He was also knowledgeable about the Tiger Leaping Gorge and arranged a carpool to drop me off at the trail head, deliver my luggage to the end point, then bring me to Lijiang train station on day 2. I was also added to a WeChat group with the driver and the guesthouse staff, and since I don't speak Chinese, it was really helpful to have them jump in when I needed something.
