Buwuzhai Inn

Welcome to Buwuzhai Inn – A Peaceful Naxi Courtyard in Lijiang Ancient Town

Tucked away in a quiet lane of Lijiang Ancient Town, Buwuzhai Inn is a traditional Naxi-style courtyard welcoming travellers from all over the world.

Whether you're here to hike Tiger Leaping Gorge, explore Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, travel to Shangri-La, or simply discover the beauty of Yunnan, our courtyard is a peaceful place to rest, connect and enjoy a slower pace of life.

Explore the Mountains, Return to the Courtyard

Lijiang is a wonderful starting point for exploring the mountains and landscapes of northwest Yunnan.

Many of our guests come here for hiking adventures, especially Tiger Leaping Gorge and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. We're always happy to share travel tips, local recommendations and information about exploring the surrounding area.

After a day in the mountains, come back to a quiet courtyard, take a shower, rest your feet and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

A Traditional Naxi Courtyard

Our inn is located away from the busy streets, yet within walking distance of Sifang Square, Mufu Palace, local restaurants and the charming streets of the Old Town.

On sunny days, you can sit in the courtyard, enjoy Lijiang's beautiful blue skies, read a book or simply do nothing.

We also have a cosy tea room and shared spaces where travellers can relax, chat and exchange stories.

Some guests stay for just one night before continuing their journey, while others stay longer to enjoy the slower rhythm of Lijiang.

Come and Have Some Yunnan Tea With Us

Tea is part of our everyday life.

We love sharing Yunnan tea with our guests, and you're welcome to join us for a complimentary tea tasting.

You don't need to know anything about Chinese tea. Just come, have a seat and enjoy a cup with us.

It's a simple way to experience a little of Yunnan's tea culture, share travel stories and get to know each other.

Travel Alone, Feel at Home

Buwuzhai is a friendly place for solo travellers, backpackers and people exploring Yunnan at their own pace.

You may meet someone to go hiking with, exchange travel experiences over tea, or make a new friend from another part of the world.

We offer shared dormitories, including a female-only dorm, as well as private rooms for travellers who prefer more personal space.

Our atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming and peaceful. It's easy to meet people here, but there's never any pressure to socialize.

Come for the Mountains, Stay for the Little Moments

We know that many travellers come to Lijiang for its mountains, ancient streets and breathtaking scenery.

But sometimes, the little moments between adventures become the most memorable.

A sunny afternoon in the courtyard, a cup of Yunnan tea, a conversation with someone from another side of the world, or simply a peaceful moment to yourself.

We hope Buwuzhai becomes one of those little memories from your journey.
