My biggest feeling about staying here is: 'Don't rush me out yet, I want to sit here a bit longer, haha.' When you're traveling, you always feel like it's a waste if you don't visit several places in a day. But here, I felt that it would be a waste not to enjoy such beautiful scenery and instead rush to keep up with an itinerary. I never quite understood why some people would spend an entire day at a hotel during their travels, but now I get it – choosing the right place truly makes a difference.
My absolute favorite part has to be the view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. I don't need to find a specific angle or tiptoe to catch a glimpse of the peak; the mountain is right there in front of me as I sit in my room. In front is a lawn, and in the distance are continuous mountain ranges. Looking up, I can see clouds drifting among the peaks. Sometimes the mountaintop is covered by clouds, only to reappear later, looking especially beautiful when the sunlight hits the ridges. Just watching these changes is incredibly soothing; there's no need to seek out any specific entertainment. I took so many photos with my phone, but it still doesn't do justice to the real thing – that expansive feeling just can't be captured in a picture.
The courtyard is also a huge plus. There's a large lawn with several sheep leisurely grazing. Seeing them, I couldn't help but stop and watch for a while. They're so busy, always with their heads down eating, completely oblivious to what people around them are doing – it's quite therapeutic to watch. Walking along the wooden pathway and looking at the mountains, my own pace slowed down. The nearby water reflects the blue sky and clouds, making every casual photo look great. But as I kept taking pictures, I'd eventually think, 'Nah, put the phone down and just enjoy the moment.'
I also really loved the public areas: large floor-to-ceiling windows, white sofas, wooden tables and chairs, and even a spot where you can sit and have tea. The overall ambiance is warm and comfortable; it's not so meticulously refined that you feel constrained. Especially that large window directly facing the mountain view – it's absolutely my ideal spot for daydreaming. I think this spot alone is worth giving the hotel more of my time. The wooden ceiling of the restaurant and the sunlight streaming in are also beautiful; there are little details everywhere that make you want to pause and appreciate them.
Most importantly, I have to praise the service, especially Xiao Huang – they are genuinely so nice! They have an approachable demeanor; their conversations and chats feel very natural, not overly polite and distant. If I had any questions, I felt comfortable asking without feeling like I was being a bother. For me, when staying at a hotel, besides the environment, how comfortable I feel interacting with people is quite important. The feeling here was very welcoming and easygoing. The beautiful scenery is already a huge bonus, and encountering such a friendly manager just makes the entire stay even more enjoyable.
Originally, I was worried I might get bored staying at the hotel all the time, but then I saw the activity schedule and realized I had overthought it. Afternoon tea, petting animals, making Pu'er tea cakes, and even a bonfire party – the activities were quite varied. If you wanted something lively, you could join an interesting activity. If you preferred quiet, you could find a comfortable spot to drink tea and look at the mountains. There was no need to over-schedule. Wandering the lawn during the day, watching the sheep, sitting down to rest, and then participating in an activity – a day truly passed by easily. There was absolutely no need to force myself to go out just to find something to do.
My impression of this place is that once you check in, you'll be a little reluctant to leave. After all, life is busy enough, and it's rare to get away and relax so comfortably. The snow-capped mountains, the lawn, the little sheep, combined with the pleasant service – this combination completely wins me over. Next time I visit, I'd be willing to specifically set aside a day with no planned sightseeing, just to relax and spend some 'wasted' time at the hotel.
