This hotel is approximately 15 minute walk to Old Town Lijiang. A tall building (20 stories plus) with couple of outside elevators giving one great views of the city and mountains.

We had hoped to stay at the Lijiang Guanfang Dajiudian Hotel (the tall building with the revolving restaurant on top), but were placed at the GuanFang Villas instead (they have the same phone number)! We stayed for one night during the Chinese National Holiday in October. This hotel did seem to be more suited to serving Chinese guests. We had... more

Guanfang Hotel is one of the tallest buildings in Lijiang. Good views of the surrounding area but slightly far away from the Old Town (a taxi ride costing 7 yuan will take you there). The food at Wanfu Palace Restaurant (Cantonese cuisine) was delicious & reasonably priced. We were the only customers there initially and it was quite daunting to... more

Stayed in the villa for 4 nights. It is right at the north end of Shangri-la boulevard. Meaning it is no where near the ancient town. But there is always a line of taxi waiting at the back entrance of the hotel, which takes you to the ancient town in less in 5 minutes for around 11RMB. Room is big... more

We spent 2 nights in Kunming, one night in Dali and 4 nights in Lijiang (the last 2 of the 4 nights in Lijiang were separate bookings where we stayed at... more

The Guanfang is not in the old town and thus is not one of the "cosy" or romantic spots in Lijiang. However I found it to be a good hotel. Rooms are very clean and spacious. It has good cable TV and the staff is very helpful. If you don't speak chinese, there is always someone available with very good... more

This Guanfang is the hotel in the middle of town, not the villas of the same name. This hotel is a modern highrise. LOCATION: Be sure to note that this hotel is NOT within the walls of the old town. It is ~15 minute walk away. There are many restaurants and shops within a 5-minute walk, though. ROOMS: Comparable to... more
