Top choice in Yunnan
This boutique guesthouse has been lovingly restored out of a 260-year-old Chinese theatre and inn. There are only five very comfortable rooms here, all with photogenic views towards the nearby mountains, so book ahead. It’s located 3km north of Shaxi; you can rent a bike (¥20) to get around.
Non-guests may want to visit on Thursdays at 6pm, when a local orchestra puts on a performance that includes dinner (¥60).
