The Naxi Yage Hotel occupies a building within the historic Dayan Ancient Town in Lijiang. Its wooden construction adheres to local mandates requiring structures within the district to use wood as their primary material. A common courtyard area at the site contains greenery and flowers. The design follows the traditions of the Naxi ethnic minority. Rooftops on such buildings hold small cat statues, as the Naxi people believe these figures protect the home from evil. Fish scale patterns decorate the exterior walls. These designs represent water and guard the wooden structures against fire.
