O'way Youth Hostel

At O’way Hostel, mornings start with sunlight spilling over the rooftops of Lijiang Old Town, and nights often end with conversations and laughter around our tea bar with travelers from all over the world.
We’re just 300m from the Old Town entrance (3-minute walk) and 600m from the iconic Big Waterwheel – close enough to the heart of the city, yet peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep.
Our hostel offers 36 beds across 4 male dorms and 2 female dorms, each with a private bathroom and kept spotlessly clean.
But we’re more than just a bed — every day we host themed social events, sometimes take guests into the mountains to pick wild mushrooms and enjoy a feast together, or lead trips to hidden spots only locals know. We’ll even help you find travel buddies to explore Lijiang and beyond.
Our spacious common areas include a tea bar, projector, pool table, and comfy sofas. From our rooftop terrace, you can enjoy panoramic views of Lijiang. We also have coin laundry and a drying area to make your stay easier.
O’way Hostel is not just a place to stay – it’s a place full of stories, warmth, and a sense of belonging. We look forward to welcoming you here.
