Top 5-Star Hotels in Deqin

You can see that it is an old hotel and can't really compare with other 5 star hotels on many aspects. But it is probably understandable considering the very remote location. Nevertheless, we were extremely satisfied with their service, especially from Ms Angel. Firstly, they gave us a free room upgrade and even decorated our room nicely after knowing that we were on our honeymoon. Angel also contacted us beforehand to make sure everything was ok, she was so friendly and helpful throughout, and when we were leaving, she even went out of her way to make multiple phone calls to make sure our bus seats back to Shangri-la was secured. Would highly recommend for the hospitality alone.

This time, I stayed in Meili and went down the mountain. The experience was really full! Driving from Songtsam Linka to the hotel, we crossed mountains and ridges all the way, and the highest altitude reached 4,000 meters. Fortunately, I prepared the Bestcon oxygen concentrator in advance. Arrived at around 4 pm, and a hot towel was handed to us as soon as we entered the hotel, which warmed our hearts. The front desk supervisor Zhuigaram enthusiastically introduced the hotel to us, and then we went to the 4th floor to enjoy afternoon tea. There were floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, and we could see the magnificent scenery of the 13 peaks of Meili. This experience was amazing! When we left, Zhuoma Laci saw us off and thoughtfully prepared a souvenir knot for the children. The little guy was very happy. The knot had a beautiful meaning and added a warmth to this journey. The staff here are simple and kind, and it feels like being blessed by the sacred mountain. Thanks to the gift of nature, I saw the sunset and the sun shining on the golden mountain, and my heart was full of joy. After that, there is a 3-day 2-night Yubeng hiking trip. The young couple who went with me said that the guide who went down the mountain was very professional, which made me look forward to coming back next time. Meili Mountain is really a place you don’t want to leave once you come, and you want to come again after leaving!

The most satisfying hotel in the entire Shangri-La trip. I personally think that Meili Shanju is better than Songzan Linka! The hotel public areas and rooms use a lot of wood for decoration, especially the rooms, almost all wooden furniture, very textured, the room lighting is also very warm, at night the whole room is very homely, very comfortable to live in! The deluxe mountain residence king-size bed room booked is very large, it is a small suite with a small living room, a bedroom, and a separate small balcony. The balcony window faces the Meili Snow Mountain, and the view is excellent! The dinner in the hotel's Chinese restaurant is a set meal, and the product of 350 per person is very amazing and cost-effective! Although there are not many varieties of breakfast, the taste of the single items is great, and the handmade noodles and rice noodles taste great! The afternoon tea is a little simple, and all the service staff of the hotel are enthusiastic and professional. When checking in, they will send a pair of handmade cloth shoes for guests to change into, full of ritual! The Arc'teryx store in Meili Shanju also has more styles than the Songzan Linka store!

Songzan Benzilan Hotel sells 1280 yuan/person ”Niding hiking product”, the official said that the hiking + forest lunch is 6 hours long, and it is equipped with a housekeeper and guide. Although Goose, the actual itinerary 1.5 hours (including car, hiking) + lunch 1 hour = 2.5 hours, the actual situation is sauce purple: 🙈 It takes 30 minutes to drive up and down the mountain. During the period, the housekeeper and guide have a variety of happy chats, and the guests are snubbed. 🙈 Get off the bus and start hiking, walk along the forest stream, the guide is in front, far from the guests, walk about 40 minutes, the eyes are open, the end of the hiking is not preventable, as if it is just a step downstairs in the community.... The professional guide has no expertise, and the whole process is zero introduction. I don't know what forest, what river, what mountains, what flora and fauna I have seen; In short, it is 1200+ bought hiking products, and I am lonely 🌚 Comrades who want to buy this product are really insulting to human intelligence! It's not bad for money when I didn't say ha 🤣 Complain to Songzan customer service 🀄️ and see if you can give a satisfactory answer in the future. ❗️❗️ After years of hard operation, Songzan Hotel and Travel Products have firmly sat on the head brand of the middle and high-end market in Tibetan areas. Sure, we have zero tolerance for this kind of insulting IQ products. If Songzan does not give a reasonable solution, we must complain to the Consumers Association to the end!

🏡 Cizhong is a small village that is quiet and easy to be ignored by travelers. However, this is a legend on the banks of the Lancang River. Chinese and Western cultures and different religions collide and merge here, and finally be brewed into a mellow wine with time. 💕 Songzanz Zhongshan Ju - two two-story Tibetan stone and wooden structure small buildings are surrounded by mountains and waters, leaning on the white tower and the master statue of Lotus Peanuts at the head of the village, looking at the Lancang River Canyon and Cizhong Catholic Church from afar. The interior design of the mountain house integrates the characteristics of China and the West: both the implicit and simple Oriental beauty, but also show the traces of the old-fashioned European aesthetic. 📸 The most attractive ones are old photos that hang in corners and fall from the National Geographic headquarters in the United States, and these silver, salt, black and white photos truthfully record life on this land a hundred years ago. 🍚 Three meals a day and afternoon tea are extremely exquisite. A small vegetable garden is opened next to the hotel, and a variety of vegetables are dazzling; rose honey grapes are also planted, row after row, small and cute. 👍🏻 During the stay, there were mainly two sisters in charge of all ours (no name asked, a little regret), be sure to praise! They always smile and treat people with enthusiasm, absolutely 100% service. The supervisor sister also promised to help send postcards, great!

Great, the camp brother is very handsome. At that time, the official was booked. Fortunately, the tripartite platform can still be booked. The camp facilities are definitely not as comprehensive as the hotel, but even so I don’t want to live in those monsters and monsters net red homestays... And Songzan is already very good, I like to drink a cup of Songzan ginger tea after a long journey. It’s great. It’s a lazy person who didn’t want to write so many words, but the little brother gave a good review. Although it was a reminder, the praise is definitely from the heart. Attach a few pictures ～

We had a wonderful stay in ZGlamping, we have to say this is THE MOST cozy and high-end place to choose to stay here in Yubeng village. Located in between of the upper and lower Yubeng, there are 4 in total of 5-star permanent tents (no need to worry about bumping into other people) are just like an secret hidden realm from “afterlife”. The carpet, slippers and even beddings in the room were super comfy. The best view and best service guaranteed. Our butler, Mr.Ping, was such a lovely and helpful man who prepared all our local meals with extra confirmation on our preferences and even did our laundry for us! Shout out to Mr.Ping! So we highly recommend you to stay in this property because this was for sure a 12 out of 10 kinda experience for us. And you will be completely refreshed after one long deep sleep here in ZGlamping, to get fully prepared for your second day’s Hiking journey.

The room is beautifully designed with advanced built in technology such as diffused oxygen supply and floor heating, with a great direct view to the snowy mountains. There are many home stays nearby that offers the same Mountain View. We paid a premium to stay here, not only for the Mountain View, but also for the supposed services and daily activities that the hotel advertised on social media. Unfortunately the service level is almost non existent, the breakfast area is easily overpacked. The staffs even asked me to share a four people table with a couple during breakfast. I am not paying USD500 per night so I can share a dining table with strangers with no privacy. We joined the sound healing experience which was held at 9pm (on the contrary to most other sound healing experiences I had, which is usually in the morning). The sound healing experience was held in the meditation room, which is located right above the Bar. Naturally, during the sound healing experience I heard mostly loud speakers playing APT and other loud music, with some light bowl singing sound. The dinner was the worst I have had during my 9 days trip in Yunnan. The afternoon tea on level 5 (Bar area) was strangely arranged with all guests cramped next to each other and hunched over the low table where snacks are placed. The hotel claims to have the top hotel room design and provides top end appliances in all the rooms, including HERMES toiletries, a B&O speaker, and Dyson hairdryer. The staffs introduced the room with great enthusiasm and pride on the small design details. Although, after 2nights in the hotel, I left feeling the hotel is nothing but an empty shell with no soul. I will not come back to this hotel again
