Mountain View Hotels in Weixi

"I had such a great stay in Tacheng, thanks to the hotel’s owner! When I planned my Yunnan trip and asked AI to help me (because of the lack of online information in English), and it recommended me to go to Tacheng to see the snub-nosed monkeys, little did I know that nothing could be done there without a car. Fellow travelers, just so you know: there are no bus stations nor taxis in Tacheng. I of course only realized it once I arrived. I felt dumb (no I do not have a car nor a driver), but the hotel’s owner was super kind and gave my friend and I free roundtrip rides, to the hotel and in the early morning to the Snub-nosed Monkey Park (that is closeby). Because the closest restaurant was 42 km away, we were given a generous and delicious dinner. (It was supposed to be 50 rmb but at the end the boss made it free.) I’m vegetarian and the boss accommodated me. The breakfast, that was included in the price, was also generous and delicious. As for the hotel, it was beautiful and comfortable. There’s a really nice living room (we were given free fruits and free beer!) and a really nice patio as well. The room was clean, the pillows were so soft and the shower was surprisingly techno. I slept very well, even though a rooster started to crow in the early morning (so remember to close the window before going to sleep). In the evening, we walked in the surroundings and I liked it so much, it was picturesque and peaceful. My stay in Tacheng could’ve been a nightmare but thanks to the hotel’s owner, I really enjoyed it (and I got to see the famous snub-nosed monkeys!) So I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, where I didn’t expect so much kindness and generosity."

"The hotel is quite large for the area, so the parking lot is also quite large, which is rare in the area, and can probably accommodate over 20 cars. The owner can arrange interactions with locals, home visits, and cultural heritage experiences. The bedding and toiletries are excellent. The shower has strong water pressure and plenty of water, and the shower floor drain drains quickly, preventing water from accumulating. Breakfast, tea/coffee, and meals by the fields are a fantastic setting. I found the breakfast delicious, featuring local, seasonal ingredients. Tacheng isn't as well-known as Shangri-La in Lijiang. At an altitude of around 2,400 meters, the climate is excellent, and it's definitely worth a 2-3 night stay to experience it all. You can hike, harvest, meditate, and more. Most importantly, local ethnic minorities (think Tibetans and Lisu) still live here. From your room or balcony, you can see the fields working in the distance. I have to say Songtsam's location is a sure win. (This is not a review of the Songtsam Hotel.) There are also many boutique B&Bs in the area, all very unique, so be sure to book in advance."

"Nice hotel, relatively clean, and very well located for visiting the Tacheng Monkey Reserve. It's a shame, however, that the hotel doesn't offer breakfast or a shuttle service to the site. It's a 45-minute walk to the entrance, so it's reasonable. Otherwise, it's great; I recommend it!"

"Especially praise the homestay, the boss is very careful about the decoration and garden design of the homestay. After a day of self-driving, staying in the homestay seemed to return to my own small courtyard, and the fatigue was swept away. The whole family fell in love with this homestay immediately. Inspiringly, dinner ordered a chicken stew soup, the kind boss gave us a free bovine fungus."

"A very satisfied hotel stay experience, sincerely recommend! The stay experience was very good, the staff greeted with a warm smile, the hotel lobby was simple and atmospheric, the room environment was clean and tidy, the items were arranged in a well-organized manner, the room facilities were complete, everything was available, the stay was excellent, the hotel breakfast was varied and the taste was rich. Overall very good, very recommended! ! !"

"The guesthouse is located in Tacheng, making it convenient for watching golden monkeys. The overall environment of the guesthouse is nice, the rooms are quite large, and the owner had arranged fresh flowers. There's a small balcony, and the owner was very welcoming. The breakfast was also quite plentiful. The only drawback was that the bedding wasn't very clean. When I lifted the covers, I saw long hairs and some black bits of dirt, which would be very unpleasant for someone with a strong aversion to germs. I hope they can improve their hygiene standards."

"It is really a very good homestay. The room is spacious, bright and clean. You can see a whole green mountain outside the window in the room. The green is very eye-catching. The boss and the proprietress are simple, warm and generous. Because of some personal reasons, you need to check out early. After discussing with the proprietress, She agreed without saying anything. So if you want to see the Golden Monkey and Damo Zushi Temple, it is recommended to stay at their homestay. There is really no need to live in those very expensive hotels. This is very cost-effective!"

"I used to hear my elders say that rammed earth houses were very comfortable when I was a child. They had good insulation, could return to the earth, and were environmentally friendly. After experiencing it here, I have to admire the wisdom of our ancestors; I slept soundly until morning. I'm also even more impressed that the guesthouse owner spent 7 years building China's first rammed earth wellness architectural complex, which includes: 15 Guest Rooms: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mattresses & Pillows The mattresses and pillows are incredibly comfortable. After the owner introduced the brand, I couldn't help but give a thumbs up. I can only say that they are truly willing to spend money to ensure guests get a good night's sleep here – it's totally worth it! Restaurant (seats 30): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service The restaurant staff are all local villagers, and during meals, I experienced their thoughtfulness and hospitality. What I remember most about breakfast are the local savory butter tea and fried *baba*. There's also a super cozy real fireplace. Coffee & Book Bar: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hand-Drip Coffee As an old tea drinker who isn't particularly keen on coffee, I actually developed an urge to learn more about coffee here. The loft relaxation area (a favorite with kids) and the outdoor viewing area (super photogenic) are wonderfully designed. Yoga & SPA Space: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything is Great I searched on Xiaohongshu and found that there are quite a few people who love it as much as I do. Sound Earth Theater: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (As many stars as possible!) A theater where you can lie down to listen to music and watch videos. A true audio-visual feast that you need to experience for yourself! Cigar & Wine Tasting Room: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Host's Passion and Professionalism The host has a great passion for and professional understanding of cigar, spirits, and wine appreciation. Plus, they have a very impressive sommelier certification."

"Newly opened hotel, facilities are relatively new, clean and hygienic. Just at the foot of the mountain, the scenery and air are good, and there are restaurants and canteens next to it, which is very convenient. The boss is very good, it is inconvenient to travel on the same day and drive us, very good stay experience"

"This Airbnb stay was absolutely perfect! 🌄 📍The location is superb, surrounded by beautiful scenery and incredibly convenient transportation, making it easy to reach popular attractions and explore local cuisine. 🏠The room was clean and tidy, with a unique and thoughtfully designed style that showcased quality in every detail. The soft and comfortable bedding ensured a good night's sleep every night. The amenities were also comprehensive, from high-speed Wi-Fi to exquisite toiletries, perfectly meeting all my needs. 👨👩👧👦The host's warm hospitality added even more to the stay. They not only prepared detailed travel guides for us in advance but also offered assistance throughout our stay, making us feel exceptionally cared for. Here, I not only found comfortable accommodation but also experienced the warmth and care of home. Highly recommended for all travelers! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"
