Ambience & local flavor

The waterfall is the must-see highlight of the hotel. With tons of water rushing down from the top of the 15-story hotel, the whole western side of the hotel building turns into a 75 meters wide artificial waterfall. Enhanced by special lighting effects and illusion created by laser on the water screen during evenings, the Lijiang Waterfall Hotel itself becomes a highlight and tourist attraction of the city.

The hotel has integrated a lot of local flavor into the hotel ambience. The hotel atrium decorated with a 12-story high bronze carving of the "one hundred miles highlights of the Li River" added more uniqueness to this modern hotel.
