Deqin Feilai Temple Meili Muye Yunsu

The environment here is really nice, with a large, well-maintained lawn and many beautiful flowers. The cabin's furniture and flooring are all solid wood, creating a very cozy atmosphere. The bedding is also quite comfortable. They provide a graphene heater and an electric blanket, so it was very warm for sleeping. Breakfast included eggs, corn cakes, butter tea, and freshly cooked rice noodles, which were delicious. However, the biggest issue was the hot water. The shower water was initially scalding hot, and I couldn't figure out how to adjust it. After running for a while, it completely ran out. The sink water, no matter how I adjusted it, never got warm. It was past 10 PM, and no one answered the hotel's phone when I called. I'm not sure if there was an issue with the facilities that night or if we just didn't understand how to use them, but in the end, I had to wash my face with cold water, which was a bad experience.

They say you might not see the "Golden Mountain in the Sun" in October, so I booked this place to avoid wasting money on a view that might not deliver. Turns out, we actually saw it! Super worth it!! The location is right next to where the bus drops you off, so it's a very easy walk, and close to the Feilai Temple viewing platform. The room was unbelievably spacious, and the underfloor heating worked perfectly. There are only four or five rooms, and the view is absolutely stunning. The owner is very simple and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this for anyone hoping to catch the Golden Mountain but worried about a wasted 4-hour drive if they miss it. The accommodation quality is easily more than triple that of other scenic hotels at the same price point, and the courtyard itself can help ease any disappointment if you don't see the sunrise. Let's talk about the downsides: 1. Feilai Temple is currently under construction, so there are large vehicles at night. I personally wasn't bothered by the noise, but I can't guarantee others wouldn't be. This seems to be a common issue for hotels along this road. 2. The room was very clean and tidy, but I wasn't a fan of the air freshener scent. My partner didn't notice it, though. 3. There were some really large flies. I hope the owner can improve pest control. Although they'll probably freeze to death in a few days, seeing them definitely puts a damper on the mood.
