Tinghuatang Garden Inn  

In the heart of Lijiang’s Dayan Ancient City center, this high-end private inn sits steps from Mu's Residence and Wan Bridge and just a short walk to the main street and city center. The inn’s observation deck frames Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Xiangshan for postcard views.

Artist-designed rooms are individually styled and offer underfloor heating, double-glazed windows, premium bathroom fixtures, a TV and slippers. The flower-themed courtyard blooms year-round and draws butterflies, creating a quiet, picture-perfect retreat.

Enjoy an atmospheric bar and an on-site restaurant after exploring the ancient city. Practical perks include guest parking, an elevator, laundry, dry cleaning, ironing and a concierge, plus a rooftop observation deck and garden spaces for slow mornings.

The property has a restaurant for sit-down meals and a bar for relaxed evening drinks.
