Shanyin Vacation Apartment

I made a last-minute decision to travel alone to Mingyong Glacier, and I was surprised to find such a wonderful guesthouse at the foot of the mountain. I spent three wonderful days there. Location: You can see Kawagebo from your room, witnessing the golden sunrise and silver sunset over the mountains. It's a 5-minute walk from the Mingyong Glacier scenic area and very close to the starting point of the Kawagebo Heart trek. Many experienced backpackers work there. Environment: Air conditioning, electric blankets, plush blankets, and hot water were all provided. For this price, location, and conditions, it was truly impressive. Coming down from the mountain, I found such excellent accommodation and dining, especially since prices didn't increase much during New Year's Day. Brother Nongbu's living room and courtyard were clearly well-decorated and maintained. Service: As a former tourism professional, I always have a discerning eye and strive to learn. Brother Nongbu truly treated his guests like family, a rugged yet meticulous Khampa man. And the staff at the guesthouse, Brother Baima and Sister A, were also wonderful. Atmosphere: The guesthouse was full of experienced hikers. In the evenings, everyone gathered around the fireplace to enjoy wine, chat, sing, and eat fruit. It was a great start to the new year with a wonderful talk session – choosing a place frequented by hikers was definitely the right decision! And I'll be thinking about the wine made by Brother Nongbu for a long time. This solo trip during the New Year has been incredibly memorable. I've become a big fan of Shanyin (Mountain Retreat). See you next time!

The room was clean and hygienic, and fully equipped. Although there was no air conditioning due to the limited amenities in the village, the electric blankets were incredibly warm, and the bathroom even had a heater. The two brothers who own the room and the kitchen staff were extremely welcoming. In the evenings, they even chatted and played with a group of experienced hikers by the fireplace, making us truly feel at home. If you're planning to stay in Mingyong Village, just stay at Shan Yin without hesitation! 😆

The owner was incredibly warm and generous. He treated us to his homemade wine and pork, which he had slaughtered himself. The rooms were very clean and offered views of the snow-capped mountains. It was a private courtyard with a large parking lot.

The owner was very nice, and the hotel was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

High cost-performance ratio, enthusiastic and responsive owner. Great atmosphere for making friends, highly recommended.
