Lijiang's New Landmark! A Healing Sanctuary in the Garden

An Aesthetic Space Where Naxi Culture is Woven into the Soul Stepping into Manchen is like falling into a feast where time and space intertwine. Rough pottery tea sets and century-old wooden furniture stand quietly under the eaves, while the welcoming tea from the butler is served in a hand-hammered copper pot. This is not just a hotel but a living museum of Naxi culture—start your morning with a steaming bowl of rice noodles, learn the ancient Dongba script in the afternoon, and as night falls, the courtyard comes alive with the melodies of Baisha fine music. Culture permeates every corner here. Cloud-Like Sleep Hidden in the Garden The 26 minimalist Wabi-Sabi style rooms hold delightful surprises: Kingkoil mattresses paired with plush cotton bedding ensure even allergy sufferers sleep soundly till dawn; smart toilet seats with constant warmth and bathtubs facing the garden through floor-to-ceiling windows. Unwind in a volcanic stone soaking pool, where the butler thoughtfully delivers a bedtime sweet soup. Gaze up at the silhouette of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain gradually blending into the twilight, the air fragrant with cedar. ▪️ Hidden Foodie Gems: A 5-minute walk takes you to Ama La Pai Gu (Grandma’s Spare Ribs), where the sour soup base paired with Naxi-style grilled meat is a must-try. Rise early to watch the butler prepare bridge-crossing rice noodles, with ham and wild mushrooms simmering in earthy chicken broth—a taste of Naxi luxury.
