2.0 stars? ha.

Could it be that my eyesight is wrong? In this era where "super five-star" and "luxury vacation" are everywhere, you actually told me about 2.0 stars.

With the faces of Internet celebrities everywhere on the street being carefully retouched, someone suddenly handed over a bare-faced photo of someone who had just woken up and hadn't washed her hair. It seemed strange, but it made people want to take a second look.

I did some research on this inn called Lijiang Hongchen Pure Land. Its name gives people a rather split feeling, with both the meaning of red dust and the connotation of pure land. It is located in Baisui Square on Wuyi Street, hidden in the deep alleys of the ancient city, and adjacent to Puxian Temple.

It only takes four minutes to walk from Sifang Street, but you can't hear the hustle and bustle of Bar Street. This is probably what it means to be quiet in the midst of hustle and bustle.

2.0 stars, what kind of stars are they?

Some people say it's a rating, but I think it's more of an attitude .

Don’t pretend. Not holding it.

There are 34 rooms. It is an old house built in 2008 and renovated in 2012. There is no marble lobby that feels cold and there is no bad perfume that makes people sneeze when they smell it.

I looked through the guest messages, and a guy said that he sat on the terrace on the second floor, looked at the mountains in the distance, and then looked at the river flowing downstairs, and lay like this for a whole afternoon.

He actually used a word: sauna .

What the hell is a sauna?

Maybe it was the act of taking a bath, or maybe it was an indescribable heat that suddenly emerged in my heart, I don't know. However, this word really had an impact on me who was typing characters in front of the keyboard.

How long has it been since we had a sauna?

Some people actually say that people in the inn will go to the gate of the ancient city to greet you and help you carry your suitcases through the uneven bluestone roads. The housekeeper is called "Koala". He is a familiar person, as if he has been a friend for many years.

Even when you go out for fun, they will actually help you find a car and take you to an "atmosphere bar" at night, where you can hang out until very late.

Wait, is this an inn or a "nursery"?

About that bar.

Yes, there is a bar in the inn, so there is no need to go out to those extremely noisy bars. The lights are dim, so you can go have a drink and meet new "crazy people", or you can huddle alone in a corner and pretend to think about life.

There are also gardens. It's small, but full of flowers and plants.

Someone complained in the comments, saying that he was charged 80 yuan for the maintenance of the ancient city, but later found that no one else had paid, so he felt that he had been cheated.

You see, this is the real human world, with warmth, potholes, free mineral water and fruits, and the embarrassment of being unable to clearly understand the pick-up location when communicating.

This is not the kind of hypocrisy in a five-star hotel where everyone gives you a fake smile and then scolds you behind your back for being troublesome.

The pure land of mortals.

What is the world of mortals? It's all the trivial things, it's the deposit I forgot to return, the room is a little noisy, there may be bugs on the towels (I hope there aren't).

So what exactly is the pure land? It was such an afternoon when you were sitting on the terrace on the second floor, looking at the river below, falling into a daze. It was the smile shown by the housekeeper, and it was the light in the yard that was still on for you when you returned home late at night.

I saw a guest leave a comment, saying that it is not the most luxurious, but it is definitely not worse than a four-star or five-star hotel. The most important thing is that there is that kind of human touch that is annoying but hard to let go and makes people angry.

Human touch. These days, it’s rarer than winning the lottery.

In the courtyard, you can drink tea, on the rocking chair, you can bask in the sun, and have aimless conversations with strangers who come from all over the world and don't even know their names. If we can chat, we go drinking together. If we can't chat, then we are in a daze, and no one owes anyone anything.

Lijiang does not need another magnificent palace.

What it needs is a place where you can put your feet up on the table and put your heart back in your belly.

2.0 stars, just right.

Low in the dust, and then flowers bloom from the dust.

Just like your life, it doesn't have to be glamorous all the time. Sometimes, you should also allow yourself to just lie down and do nothing.

The inn has an airport pick-up service. It departs from Sanyi Airport. The journey takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The driver will wait for you on time and take you away from the cold, modern place full of air traffic control and back to the real world where chickens bark and dogs bark.

By the way, next to the inn is Puxian Temple.

When you are tired, go and say goodbye.

It’s okay not to worship. Just look at the people kowtowing at the door, look at their piety, and then look at your own confused state.

Then go back to the inn, take a hot bath, and sleep.

wake up.

Oh, it turns out that I am still in the world of mortals.
