Situated within 300 metres of Guan Men Kou and less than 1 km of Loyalty Arch, Big Tree Guesthouse - Naxi old style features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Lijiang. With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Beautiful courtyard, adorable dog. The room was clean and warm. Everyone at the guest house was incredibly friendly, especially the "Teacher" was well traveled and interesting to chat with. He was also knowledgeable about the Tiger Leaping Gorge and arranged a carpool to drop me off at the trail head, deliver my luggage to the end point, then bring me to Lijiang train station on day 2. I was also added to a WeChat group with the driver and the guesthouse staff, and since I don't speak Chinese, it was really helpful to have them jump in when I needed something.
