Stayed here for 2 nights in April 2015. Arrived late at night at Lijiang old town, thankfully my friend has a mobile internet connection with baidu maps (google maps is useless for china) which guide us to LvyeAnJia location. It is a little tricky to find first time around, so make sure you ask around if you don't have baidu maps. Best spot to be dropped off at Lijiang Old Town will be at the South Gate.
A cheerful young lady had been waiting for us, greeted us and introduced herself as Wiki (Vicky in fact is her name). She can speak a little English, but since my travelling buddies can speak Mandarin, we speak Mandarin most of the time. She is very friendly and very accomodating. Again, we bombarded her with questions about Lijiang, and activities for the next two days. All were patiently answered and in the end we were booked with two day trips, one to TLG and another to DJSM. She even managed to get us 30RMB discount to the DJSM trip. Lovely! Although it was very late, she kindly offered to take us a walk around the old town so we won't get lost the next morning.
The guesthouse itself is clean, mostly built in timber, well maintained and decorated in classic Chinese. In the middle of it, there is a lovely small courtyard. The bed is huge, more on the hard side, but it's not really a problem for me. The quilt is fluffy and warm, providing much needed comfort after tiring trips.
The next morning we had a local breakfast (buns, congee, eggs and lovely variety of pickles) prepared by another lovely host we addressed by name of Ayi (means Auntie in Mandarin). She is from the Bai minority. She is also very friendly and caring. She really make sure we are well fed. :-) On the last day, after hearing I will be going back solo, Ayi offered to walk me to the bus stop where i could catch 1RMB direct bus to the train station.
I am truly grateful with the hospitality of staffs of LvyeAnJia guesthouse, they really make sure you feel right at home and always offered help whenever they can. They are truly the star of this guesthouse.
