Yanlu Library Oxygen Hotel, Shangri-La(Dukezong Ancient City North Gate)

Shangri-La, meaning "the sun and moon in the heart" in the local Himalayan dialect, is where the ancient town of Dukezong seems to scatter moonlight upon the earth. Nestled at No. 22 Gunma Lane, Jiantang Town, Yanlu·Ideal Country Inn (North Gate Branch of Dukezong Ancient Town) is just a one-minute stroll from the north gate of the ancient town, offering a serene retreat that enjoys the vibrant life of the town while remaining untouched by its hustle. The guest rooms are infused with the spirit of Himalayan heritage, blended seamlessly with modern comforts. Bathed in cascading sunlight, they are equipped with thoughtful amenities such as smart toilets, underfloor heating, and oxygen generators, ensuring a warm and homely stay even on the high plateau. The courtyard blooms with fragrance throughout the seasons, where the aroma of tea mingles with the scent of books. The former multi-functional hall has been transformed into an open library, inviting travelers to peruse the pages of time and encounter resonances of the soul. Here, time slows down, and life warms up. Savor a cup of buttered tea by the window, listening to the whispers of the wind, or lose yourself in a good book, letting your spirit rest gently under the mountain moonlight. Yanlu·Ideal Country is more than just accommodation; it is a tender proposition for an ideal way of life.
