Half day

One of the highlights of our trek to the tiger leaping gorge was this stay right here!! It’s not exactly on the main path but once you see the sign to the halfway house you can contact them on WeChat for them to pick you up. The view was absolutely perfect and it’s a smart home with good facilities. The shower was the hottest of all our stays in Yunnan. It was perfect!

I had a fantastic stay at Half Day and not thing to complain. My room had a stunning view with cieling to floor windows. The location, to me, is just right, away from the crowds and other establishments (around Half Day). They do have a nearby restaurant but we decided to walk to Half Day for coffee and food anyway (beautiful shortcut into the forest). My 1 night stay was very peaceful and the lady owner was super helpful even though we could not speak Chinese. She tried to explain everything via translation option in Wechat. You can also buy drinks and snacks and instant noodles ar the guesthouse. We did not hike there but took a taxi from Lijiang direct to the hotel. It is quite convenient for those who decide not to hike. We still went hiking from the guesthouse to Tina's (5 km). If you don't want to hike back (same route), you can take a taxi back to hotel (arranged by Tina's or Half Day) at 100-120 RMB. Highly recommend for those who want to avoid the crowds.

We had a great overnight stay at the Half Day where booked the deluxe room with queen size bed. We arrived here after a long hiking day and while the views during the hike were eye-catching entering the hotelroom with the view at the Yulong mountains were fantastic, not to mention waking up to the view without having to get up from bed. The hotel also has a restaurant with simple but great food which we recommend to make use of since this the hotel is located higher than large parts of the village. Next time we hike the tiger leaping gorge, we will stay here for again.

Pleasant host. The hotel is a Gem. Our room oversees the mountain. Evening and morning views are magnificent. Pleasant Staying.

Best view and balcony. I definitely will come back

Superb guesthouse with stunning scenic views. The guesthouse is relatively new, so everything looked clean, modern, and well-kept. It was the only place during my 8-day trip in Yunnan that had an auto-bidet toilet — which I genuinely appreciated! 😆 This place is also less crowded compared to Halfway Guesthouse, making it perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. The owner is very friendly and helpful. She even helped me book my return bus ticket to Lijiang. Since we didn’t come here for trekking, she kindly arranged transport for us to Middle Gorge/Tina’s Guesthouse, where the bus station is located, at a small fee — much cheaper than the local taxis.
