Budget Accommodation Asia China Lijiang Bed & Breakfasts Luminn Guesthouse
I visited Li Jiang mid-December 2009 with my parents. I chose Luminn because of price and the fact that they speak English very well. Li Jiang can be a challenge if you are like me and have little knowledge of the Chinese language.
I was very impressed with the email communication.

I visited Li Jiang mid-December 2009 with my parents. I chose Luminn because of price and the fact that they speak English very well. Li Jiang can be a challenge if you are like me and have little knowledge of the Chinese language.
I was very impressed with the email communication. They helped me book a van from the airport for 60 RMB and provided all information that I needed in advance.
On arrival we were greeted by Sophie, who always seems to be around when you need advice about what to do. During our stay, both Sophie and Luminn helped us find a good place to rent bikes and were knowledgeable about the other places of interest in the area.
We were the only guests at the time, which is a shame because this quaint guesthouse would be an ideal place for other travelers like myself. If you like a a quiet place away from the nightly noise of the party district, this is the place to stay.
I would not recommend staying at this guesthouse in winter, however, if you require central heating and other five star amenities like bath tubs. Most of the smaller guesthouses in Li Jiang don't provide these services anyway -it's not their way. We enjoyed the season despite the cool nights. The guesthouse had good quality beds and very warm blankets that made the nights cozy.
I plan to return to Li Jiang soon and would definitely stay at Luminn again. Highly recommended!
