I will second what John Xie said about Shuhe.

It is about 3km outside old Lijiang. Very quiet, no cars allowed and it is adjacent to the Naxi peoples village and frescos. Hotels are also much cheaper. There was also a reasonable bar with a pool table, a choice of restaurants and gift vendors (relatively cheap at the time).

You need to pay (was) 70rmb as it is in a national park, but that ticket is valid for at least 3 days.

Beware, a lot of Lijiang's hotels are NOT in Old Lijiang, but in New Lijiang. When we stayed there a few years ago there were only 2 restaurants there, and no history.

its true what tiger said. but you don't need to pay the 70rmb tiket to get in Shuhe. I had a friend operate bars and inns there. he could take you into Shuhe without paying the tiket and provide you accomodation with a favorable discount. meanwhile you could compare other hotels to decide by yourself where to check in.

you could contact me at 13354949490@qq.com or call 13354949490 for further detail.
