I recently have been there and much say that it is a beautifull place. Very relaxed and surrounded by the mountains. Green with lot of cattle, and very peacefull. Unfortunately they are building a dam there acrossed the lake to controll the water. This dam will be 30 meters!!! high, it's a very crazy thing to do this. This will... More

Apart from the two solar panals, I didn't get any impression that the owner (s) of Wenhai Ecolodge give any consideration to the environment. When I arrived after the 3 1/2 hour hike into Wenhai, the lodge was locked and I had to wait around for one hour for someone to open it. The rooms, bathrooms and the courtyard were... More

This is the real exprience of Wenhai with a little bit of luxury. The bedroom was new, clean, spacious and the bed is very comfortable with pine wood finishing and loved the smell as well. The separate bathroom was new, modern, large and clean but I think design should be relevant to its surrounding. Mr. Cun's cooking was delicious. Walk... More

Since New York Times brought publicity to this place, we always wanted to visit this Ecolodge, more so, given its meaningful purpose as a cooperative serving the larger Wenhai's rural agriculture community. This is despite recent adverse commentaries and concerns over the fate of the cooperative nature of this Ecolodge. We finally make our trip this week although Mr. Cun... More

Arranged a 2 night stay via email and the correspondence and service was good although some things that I specifically asked about (both via email and then later on a phone confirmation call) were not answered definitvely. Example being the cost of an airport pick up and transfer to the lodge. We had a jeep transfer to the lodge and... More

We intended to stay for 3 nights at the lodge but only stayed for one! The area, Wenhai, is absolutely stunning – incredibly beautiful. We just really got the impression that the lodge itself is really only just surviving and all the energy and good ideas had been left to decay. For example the glasshouse for growing vegetables is broken... More

We stayed for two nights at the Wenhai Eco Lodge outside of Lijang. The organisation of our stay was very efficient. Breakfast and dinner, which is included in the price was great, fresh ingredients and very tasty. A pack lunch provided for treks. The scenery is spectacular and Wenhai is a perfect place to get away from the crowds. Your... More

If you're in the Lijiang area, the Wenhai Eco-lodge is a great off-the-beaten-path stay. My dad and I hiked there with a guide and horse (in case one of us got tired, 120Y) and it took us 4 hours. It was overcast, so we never saw the top of Jade Dragon Mountain, but it was still beautiful. It rained at... More

We just spent three days at Wenhai. We arrived there after spending two days doing Tiger Leaping Gorge, so we were ready for some relaxation. It was amazingly peaceful. We were the only guests there at the time, so it was pretty quiet. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are shared facilities, quite basic but do have a... More
