Songtsam Lodge Lijiang

Instead of the touristic and commercialized old town of Lijiang, this retreat is located at a nearby small Naxi-ethnic village named Ciman, where the traditional way of living still thrives. Surrounded by pinewoods and a pear garden, Songtsam Lodge Lijiang offers spectacular views of the old town, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and Lashi Lake. The hotel's design is grand in appearance and has an interior layout in the style of a Naxi courtyard that is decorated with exquisite Hui-style stone sculptures. Inside, Tibetan carpets are matched with traditional Chinese paintings, and the six windows of the Naxi style create a transparent and bright living atmosphere. The Chinese restaurant serves local specialties like pork ribs hotpot and Naxi dishes, while the western restaurant offers a breakfast buffet, afternoon tea, a la carte dining and a selection of handpicked wines. A spa with four therapy rooms and sauna cabins is elaborately designed for traditional Kum Nye Tibetan massages, and the 200 sqm outdoor heated pool can be used in all four seasons.
