At the Foot of Meili, Encountering the Little Joys of "Cold Cottage"

The first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the mist, warming my face as a new day began at the foot of the Meili Snow Mountain. Standing by National Highway 214, I gazed at the nearby Feilai Temple scenic area, my heart brimming with anticipation for the day's journey. This time, I chose Dêqên Meili Snow Mountain Deye Cold Cottage as my accommodation—not just for its unique location, but for the tranquility and comfort it offered. 🚗 A Haven for Road Trippers 🏠 After a long day of driving, I finally arrived at this hotel nestled in the Feilai Temple scenic area. Stepping inside, I was immediately captivated by its elegant neo-Tibetan architectural style, as if entering a place filled with stories. The front desk staff greeted me with warm smiles, and the check-in process was swift and attentive, making me feel at home instantly. The complimentary parking provided by the hotel was a relief for self-driving travelers, allowing me to park my car with peace of mind and start exploring the surrounding beauty. 🛏️ A Restful Retreat for Weary Travelers 🌙 For someone like me who drives all day and needs a good night's sleep, the quality of the bed is crucial. Deye Cold Cottage's beds are equipped with high-quality zero-pressure mattresses—the moment I lay down, all my fatigue seemed to melt away. The warm lighting and cozy temperature in the room made it feel like home, offering spring-like comfort even at high altitudes. Some deluxe rooms even feature bathtubs, where a hot soak while admiring the snow-capped mountains outside is an indescribable luxury. 🍽️ A Feast for the Taste Buds 🍲 Every morning, the hotel serves a generous complimentary breakfast, featuring traditional Tibetan fare like butter tea and tsampa, as well as a variety of Western breads and juices to cater to different tastes. For lunch and dinner, the in-house restaurant offers authentic Tibetan dishes and classic Chinese cuisine. Each dish is a delightful challenge to the palate, allowing guests to savor both the flavors and the unique charm of Tibetan culture. 🌄 The Perfect Spot for Golden Mountain Sunrise 🌟 What moved me most was the hotel's ideal location for witnessing the "Sunlight Golden Mountain" phenomenon. At dawn, when the first rays of sunlight hit the main peak of Meili Snow Mountain, Kawagarbo, the entire mountain glows golden, breathtakingly beautiful. From the hotel, it's just a short walk to the best viewing spot, so you won't miss this natural wonder. This travel experience deepened my appreciation for the allure of Deye Cold Cottage.
