Cat in Yubeng Snow Mountain View Guesthouse

The location is fantastic! We could see the 'sun-kissed golden mountains' (sunrise over snow-capped peaks) right from our room. The food was also delicious. We had a great time with 'Xiao Heizi' (a staff member or friend), haha. Looking forward to staying again!

The environment is great, with a direct view of Shennv Peak. The basic facilities are also quite good.

The B&B's location is fantastic – you get mountain views during the day and stargazing at night. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, providing excellent service. The coffee made by the lady barista was amazing. I'll definitely be back; it's my top choice in Yubeng.

The location was a bit hard to find, but the views were absolutely stunning. We spent two days at the B&B watching the 'Golden Mountain in the Morning Sun' and it was truly breathtaking. The hostess was incredibly thoughtful; she'd contact us beforehand with directions and send out daily breakfast and dinner menus for pre-ordering. The only downside was the extensive construction happening all around, which made it quite dusty. I hope once the construction is finished, the B&B will thrive even more.

The hotel owners, who seemed to be a family, were incredibly warm and welcoming. When we arrived, the Xidang road was under construction, requiring a 10-kilometer hike along the Ninong trail to reach the village. Even though we hadn't informed them in advance, the owners had already turned on the underfloor heating for us and even gave us small gifts, which made my friends very happy. **Pros:** ① Due to its elevated location, there are no other hotels nearby, so the room offers fantastic views and is incredibly secluded. ② The room came with a foot bath basin and complimentary foot soak packets. After a long day of hiking, it was a real treat to come back and enjoy a free foot soak. Other places in the village charged 30 for a foot soak, but honestly, we just didn't want to move anymore. ③ The hotel lobby offered free ginger tea brewed daily. We could gather around the fireplace, chat, and drink ginger tea every evening. The hotel also sold drinks and instant noodles, and the prices for meals were essentially the same as in the village. ④ The service was excellent. Three of us stayed in a family room, so two shared a bed. When we asked for an extra blanket at night, it was delivered very quickly. Sometimes, when we left early in the morning and returned late, the owners would even bring us foot soak packets and water. ⑤ The hotel has several adorable cats, though they usually hang out downstairs by the fireplace. They're very friendly and love being petted. **Minor Drawbacks:** ① The location is on the edge of the upper village, about a ten-minute walk from the village center. However, this also means it's very quiet and peaceful for resting, without any noise. ② The hot water might be solar-powered? One day I was too lazy and took a shower very late. By then, the temperature outside was already below freezing, and the water wasn't as hot. So, it's best to shower earlier.

Staying at Cat's in Yubeng definitely adds to the experience of visiting Upper Yubeng. Most importantly, the hotel's location offers fantastic views – what you see in the platform pictures is exactly what you get, the view is very open and expansive. Their stir-fries are delicious too; we had their ******* pork two nights in a row. There's also a large rooftop platform perfect for stargazing and capturing the 'golden mountain' sunrise (you can also do this from your room). The staff are also very entertaining. And those cats? They just can't help but steal the show!
