Shaxi Aoding Courtyard

Shaxi Aoding Courtyard was built completely in line with traditional Bai architectural style, with courtyards and carefully arranged details and garden. The founder has further improved two common nuisances in traditional Bai constructions: poor ventilation and sound insulation. Now at Shaxi Aoding Courtyard, guests will enjoy sound and undisturbed sleep and dreams as legend in Shaxi has promised.

Great local place, close to ancient town!

Reviewed By ChrisandTami

My wife and I are 2 int’l teachers who were stuck traveling in China for the '21 summer and we stayed here 1 night. The location is super close to walk and explore the ancient town. The little hotel is full of courtyards and quaint sitting areas. Our room was impressive, large and clean. We were on the 1st floor and would have enjoyed the 2nd floor so we wouldn’t have to hear footsteps. My wife enjoyed the very comfortable bed, modern bathroom and strong water pressure. We did both dinner and breakfast. The chef was eager to cater to our vegetarian ways and neither meal disappointed. Excellent place to stay in Shaxi!!

Shaxi Laomadian Lodge

Welcome to Shaxi Laomadian Lodge Laomadian signifies 'Inn for old horses' and it used to lodge caravan owners traveling on the Tea-Horse Caravan Road, from Xishuangbanna to Tibet and further, transporting and trading mainly tea, but also other merchandises like salt, silver, copper etc. Situated between Dali and Lijiang, near Jianchuan, Shaxi was one of the important trading centers on the Tea-Horse Caravan Road since several hundred years. Winter 2006, after 4 years of restoration work by Swiss architects with the help of Jianchuan government and several Swiss and International fundings, Shaxi has regained its beauty and starts to attract visitors from afar to admire this one of the last well-conserved market centers on the famous Tea-Horse Caravan Road. Shaxi Laomadian is a compound consists of 3 courtyards and 6 shop-fronts. It is being renovate into a modern Lodge with 9 standard rooms and 3 dormitories, a tea house and a fusion restaurant/bar (Karma Cafe).

This guest house was just as I imagined. The rooms are a bit smaller and darker than I anticipated but what does that matter, we were only staying for 1 night. We had a small table and chairs outside of our room overlooking a small court yard. It was my birthday the day we stayed there and I was given a very impressive cake courtesy of our tour company, China Links, which we shared with the staff. In the evening we were given cheesecake to finish off our dinner as an extra birthday treat. Due to the time of year, the evenings and early mornings were a bit on the chilly side, but we were very cosy once we got into bed. There is a small portable radiator in the room if needed. The breakfast was made to order. It was a bit dark and chilly in the dining room, so needed to wear a light jacket. Due to the nature of the building, I don't think the sun's heat can penetrate the rooms so just be prepared to wear extra clothing until it warms up.

Come see why Old Theatre Inn is consistently ranked one of the best small hotels in China.

A wonderful, relaxing stay

Reviewed By EgyptSarah

Really enjoyed our two night stay at the old theatre inn. Such a beautiful historic building. Rooms were cozy and comfortable. As it’s a historical building water pressure was a little low but this is a minor detail when staying somewhere so magical. Enjoyed delicious dinner and breakfast at the Inn. We had a car so it was easy to get around. Hotel is set in a small village about 2k from Shaxi old town. Was so glad to be staying here and not in the town itself. Staff were so helpful, efficient and kind. A great stay!

Reviewed By Digitaldrift

Miss May speaks Some English and is a very supportive host at this beautiful garden yard guesthouse. Rooms are arranged around the flower filled yard, and a simple breakfast is also included. We chose the upstairs room with a small living room. Accommodation is relatively simple, but comfortable, hot water was a little intermittent at times but not a problem. There is WiFi, and a short walk down the small lanes into the market square. A very lovely place to stay.

A very nice family operated boutique hotel, that boasts large traditional rooms with modern bathrooms and all the amenities you would need. Many rooms come with a private terrace. Nice Chinese breakfast, and fresh-leave tea is available in your room. There are about 7 cats roaming the premises. Taxis are not allowed in this part of the Old City, but the main road is only a 5 minute walk away.

simply a wreck of a hotel with good rating for no reason

Reviewed By yuvall58

calling it an old school hotel is just an excuse to serve you a small, whacky room, with unacceptable standards. the entire room ceiling was 1.9 meters so tall guys beware. the toilets could not be used with door shut. windows that fell apart as i was trying to open them for some fresh air. the location is nice but that alone cannot justify the ridiculous 100 yuan/night price tag. disappointed and will not come again.

BreezeHill Residence.Shaxi

"BreezeHill Residence" is a beautiful courtyard boutique inn operated in a detail-focused way. Freshly opened and conveniently located in the South Guzong Alley, within 2 minutes from the town centre where the theater stage stands. We offers 9 stylish guest rooms and suites, with 24-hour hot water supply. We have a small but vibrantly designed lounge serving breakfast and afternoon tea. The entire boutique inn was redesigned amd regenerated from a traditional Bai Nation's wooden house. We aim to keep a great atmosphere of quiet, while there is a bit limitation on sound insulation in ths most busy season.

Lovely, lovely, lovely

The attention to detail here is wonderful. Rooms are well-appointed, convenient electric plugs, they turn on a space heater in winter and have it running when you return in the evening, there's Japanese horse oil products in the bath. Breakfast is generous and very, very tasty. Coffee is exceptionally good for China. Just about everything about this place is wonderful.

Hidden gem

Reviewed By Jenny W

my bf and I decided to come during winter because there are less people around. we booked this place on trip advisor cause the photos and reviews looked promising. like the others here have mentioned, the room was not necessarily the biggest, but it was big enough and we stayed in there comfortably. we thought the heating was good probably because we are from Canada :). Dont get how people could complain about the washroom floor being wet, i mean c’mon, what are you expecting from one of the most remote ancient towns in the country. Plus they provided you with slippers! Honestly, for people who plan on visiting Sha'Xi, be mentally prepared and dont expect much from ANY of the hotels over here. even though Gumo Boutique Inn was the only place we stayed at, we did look around honesty thought this is probably as good as it can get at this price point. The pricing was fair, the room was cozy, the breakfast was delish and the host was really friendly. but we do agree that the place could use some extra lighting at night.

Qing Jing Courtyard

Qing Jing Courtyard is located in Sha Xi Ancient Town,which is a beautiful and famous town.She is a super blend of ancient Bai architecture alongside every modern amenity. It was penned by a team of young designers who studied under the famous Chinese cultural artist, Pu Lie Ping. The courtyard is based on Neo Chinese style, which follows the philosophy of “worn to be replaced by age”.

REMOTE HEAVEN !

Reviewed By DANIEL L

The hotel has been open quite recently. It is very well decorated in a sino-japanese style. The room is large, modern design. Ask for the best rooms, at the second floor. There is a quite agreeable courtyard where ii is very agreeable to relax, have tea, and discuss with the staff. There is no restaurant but the breakfast (chinese, but acceptable for a european tourist) is served quite rapidly in anise room, with a excellent view on the surrounding roofs. The hotel is located close from the main square. A stop in this hotel is quite relaxing and just memorable
