Linden Centre ·Benzilan

This hotel is a collaboration between China Tourism Group and Linden Centre, supported by the local government. The facilities are relatively new, and the hotel staff are very accommodating (the laundry service is a definite highlight!). Everyone working there is really enthusiastic. Nearby, there's a lesser-known forest trail perfect for hiking. While spring and summer are the most popular seasons, winter offers its own unique forest scenery. The hotel is located a bit off the main road, down a village path, but it's not a difficult drive and gives it a secret hideaway feel. I recommend it as a stop between Shangri-La and Meili Snow Mountain.

Our night in Benzilan was made absolutely perfect thanks to the Xilin Yuan Nada Mountain Inn. We arrived in the evening, driving up the mountain road, and the further we went, the more tranquil it became. The inn's courtyard is beautifully maintained, and the room windows offer stunning views of the continuous mountain range, making you feel as though the entire world has quieted down. The owner is incredibly kind. Not only did he recommend some local delicacies, but he also offered to wash our clothes for us. This kind of thoughtful service truly makes you feel so welcome and warm. This is an inn that makes you want to return. Next time I'm in Benzilan, I'll definitely stay here again!

Since we came from Yubeng Village and didn't rent a car, the hotel's location was indeed much more suitable for self-driving. Fortunately, the hotel accommodated these inconveniences. The hotel was renovated from an abandoned elementary school, but the overall feel is like a designer's new creation. The amenities were excellent. In addition to the essentials, there was a tea table by the large window facing the mountains. The bed was large, and our room wasn't arranged side by side, but rather one side by one, which was quite unique and even involved a fight over it. The laundry service was thoughtful, and they even delivered goodnight milk in the evening. I also commend the breakfast, which offered both Chinese and Western options. It was one of the most comfortable and freshest breakfasts I've had in Yunnan these past few days, and the Western dishes were very satisfying. The hotel is located in a village group of only eight households, a quiet place with both activity and tranquility. The villagers are simple and shy, and after a walk, I joined them in circumambulating the Buddhist scriptures. Nearby are the Baima Snow Mountain, perfect for hiking, the Niding Line, perfect for children, and numerous wineries. The town itself is famous for the story of a French grandmother. Driving on your own is definitely more enjoyable, but mountain roads require some driving skills. Time is limited, so I'll definitely make up for this regret next time I drive on my own.

It's great~ There is a Duomujiu on the mountain, don't miss it It is said that there are also hiking routes, such as Baima Snow Mountain hiking, Niding hiking, and Gulongpu light hiking. I didn't have time this time, so I will come again next time

I won't go into details about the hardware facilities, which are first-class. The rooms are better than the pictures, and the decoration is comfortable and grand. The facade of the whole hotel is also beautiful. After dinner in the evening, I climbed to the opposite side and looked back. It was really beautiful! The food was absolutely amazing. The ******* crispy chicken made me finish a large bowl of rice. The ice cream felt like mousse, and the barley yogurt was also quite special. You can choose Western or Chinese breakfast. My God, I was really entangled for a long time because I wanted to eat Western but I thought their rice noodles should be delicious. In the end, I reluctantly chose Western. I didn't expect it. They sent me Western and asked me if I was not full and I could add noodles or rice noodles! Oh, I should have eaten slowly. I fell asleep in ten minutes after drinking a cup of good night milk. It was delicious and slept well. In short, this place was originally my transit station. I slept soundly for 12 hours after hiking in Yubeng for four days. There were several housekeepers in the room and the food was good. I was resurrected and set off again.

Because of the problem of altitude sickness, we temporarily adjusted the itinerary and chose a hotel. The hotel's exterior design looks very beautiful, and the service staff inside are also very enthusiastic. The welcome fruit gave us small cherries picked that day. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel. It was obvious that the dishes were fresh and clean. It is a good place to go on vacation.
