Wuyuenian Renwen Inn

quaint guest house that is run by a retired HK couple, they provided the warmest welcome during our entire trip, and we felt so at home! we spend quite a while chatting with Ms May and her husband and enjoyed the exchange. facilities are homely and basic, with a lovely garden and a kids play area. total of 8 rooms. shaxi ancient town is such a gem, quaint, quiet and is a place where you can really slow down your pace to appreciate what yunnan china is like. spend your time wandering around shaxi ancient town, it’s small (1 hour exploration) but definitely take the time to sit with a cup of coffee or a book. take the yellow taxi (electric buggy) to explore the various smaller towns that surround shaxi. there are appx 7 smaller towns, each with its own charm… we only had time to explore beilongchun, where the pace of life is slow, quiet and healing. the higher you hike, the views are very different! some places to check out: - shaxi avant garde book shop u - universal bakery (alien mascot bakery that sells sourdough, hard crust bread) - bailong tan (small lake) - 山风院子 which has a tree house and a mini cafe - shaxi tea horse museum - old stone bridge, in the afternoon an elderly couple would be there with their goats and you can buy goat milk or take photos. - shaxi friday market!!!

This is a wonderful place. Joyce and Eric are the perfect hosts, and speak good English. The house is a traditional home, with very clean and lovely decorated rooms set around a central garden. It's on the edge of old Shaxi, so the centre is only a few minute's walk. They walked with us to show us where to pick up local transport for the Shiebao National Park, the spectacular temple of Baoxing, and the Shizen Lanxi mountain shrines. Whether you want to stay for a couple of days, or to use it as a base for exploring the area, it would be hard to find a more welcoming and helpful homestay.

We had a wonderful stay. The english speaking owner and the very friendly staff staff did their utmost best to make our stay as good as possible. The staff provided us with tips in the area, scooter rental and all other help we needed. Sometimes travelling in China can come with challenges coming from Europe, but the staff made us all feel at home and relaxed. The rooms, including bathrooms are very clean!

A lovely couple runs this homestay, and they were incredibly attentive and welcoming. The room was cozy and comfortable, making for a wonderful stay.

Loved this place. Really friendly owner and hotel was well located. My family and I enjoyed our stay.

Highly reconmmend Miss May Hostel in Shaxi. So well managed and maintained in all aspects and details that leaves no spot for improvements. The hostel deserves particularly mentioning of its cleanness here, there and everywhere, and Dove brand shampoo and shower gels in bathroom that I have used to at home all these years ... definately I will come here soon with my family and friends. Perfect! John from New York
