Yi's Hostel is a 10-minute walk from Guishan Park and Moonlight Square. Walking Street is a 15-minute walk away.

Staff at Yi's Hostel were so amazing! When we had a flight cancellation, Kunga went above and beyond to help us solve the problem. All of the brothers gave us great advice on activities and snacks and taught us more about the history of the area. We would love to stay here again. Also the heated blankets were perfect for the cold nights.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The best place to know the city of Shangri-la. The Jun family and staff are very kind and easy to get information about the city. The hostel is lovely and very comfortable. The shower is great, very warm for the cold days and always being clean. The night can sit around the wood stove, have tea and make new friends. Also has a diverse kitchen, I ordered some dishes with friends and it was all delicious! The location is also perfect, I did everything by walking.

    It's centrally located in the 獨克宗古城Dukezhong old town, just 5 mins walk to the famous 轉經筒temple, lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Good working wifi. Hot shower water. Heating and warm electric blanket are awesome in this chilly weather of Shangri-la. Sometimes we just chilled in the hostel and feeling home here!

    This place is the best hostel we've had in China (and maybe Asia). The living room is very cosy, very suitable for taking a warm tea after a good hike, meeting other people from the hostel, or eating delicious food (chineese, corean and western dishes are available). The owner is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and cosy.

    Loved my stay! The hostel is within the old town, so the location is very convenient. Shared rooms have bedside lamps and electric blankets for warmth, bathrooms were also modern. The host was incredibly friendly and answered all my questions about different tourist attractions. She even helped me book a taxi to the airport on my last day! Thank you so much for your hospitality, would highly recommend this place to anyone travelling in Shangri-La!

    The hostel itself is really pretty. It's an old Tibetan house with a nice courtyard and a balcony on the first floor. They serve excellent food all day. Try the Tibetan porridge or the yak meat burger. Honestly one of the best hostels I've stayed in in Yunnan.
