Shangri-La MeiXiang Hotel

The room is a small wooden house located next to Xiangdao Highway. There may not be many guests that day, so it is quiet and no one will disturb the rest. There was hand sanitizer, which was a bit surprising. There are electric blankets, the beds are relatively clean, and there is plenty of hot water. Don't have too high expectations in this place about facilities and so on, they are enough. A large yard where cars can be parked anywhere. The service is a bit Buddhist, and it feels like either a cheese factory and a B&B, or a B&B and a cheese factory. The key is on the door. Open the door yourself. When you leave, just put the key in the door and leave. The food at the restaurant at the door is affordable and delicious. The cheese cake is good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A large pot of butter tea is 25 yuan. The hostess who served as the chef was very nice. She saved the cheese pancakes that she had not finished the day before and kept them to be eaten hot the next day. The service points are mainly given to her. The surrounding environment is good, there is gurgling water at the door, and you can see the mountains when you raise your head and open the window. Those push-out wooden windows are reminiscent of my childhood. It's a few minutes' walk from the gate of Wudi Lake, but it's still a long way from the gate to Wudi Lake, which takes about ten minutes by car. The bottomless lake itself is not amazing, but the forest and flower meadows surrounding the lake are pretty good.

Let me start with the disadvantages: the room is just a wooden house, with very poor sound insulation, the toilet leaks, and the windows cannot be bolted. There are several long-term fortune-tellers (who claim to be able to predict the future). The night I checked in, the boss invited me to the front desk for tea and chat. After a while, the fortune-teller came and said I was an outsider and drove me away. The boss agreed and said that I did disturb them (then why did you invite me). I guess the long-term guests can't afford to offend and choose to sacrifice the interests of other guests. Advantages: 1. The boss drove me to the scenic spot; 2. It is close to the bottomless lake, but it is useless, one day round trip is enough. From their yin and yang to me, no one has apologized. Not recommended!!

Facilities: The soundproofing is really bad. The sound of the stairs is like an earthquake. A group of old ladies came in the middle of the night to prepare for hiking the next day. The chattering was really annoying. Environment: Generally speaking, the construction is not yet completed, but it is still a very humane hotel. There are many cute cats and dogs.

That’s right, the photos were taken by us at Mei Xiang Farm. What you see is what you get. It is a very wonderful B&B. Even the breakfast is so ceremonial!

It's said to feel like home, but it's really bare. The whole suite doesn't have a table or sofa (just 2 small coffee tables). There's no place to put things, no place to put chairs, no place to sit, not to mention wardrobes and sideboards. The whole house is made of wood, with all kinds of gaps, 360-degree ventilation, freezing cold at night, and even colder inside than outside when the sun comes out in the morning. The stairs up and down are steep and narrow, with no handrails. I almost rolled down the stairs when I went downstairs to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The floor creaks when I walk, and there's no sound insulation at all. I can hear people chatting next door. I could see it clearly and I didn't dare to speak at all. When I turned off the lights at night, I found that there was a gap in the wall next door, and the gap led directly to the bedroom next door. It was really terrible. Only one of the two windows in the bedroom had curtains. The socket design was unreasonable. The electric kettle was suspended in the air when it was plugged in, and I couldn't boil a full pot of water. The water flow in the toilet was very small, and it was very difficult to flush it. The most frustrating thing was that the hot water would not come out until more than 10 minutes later. As soon as I turned off the faucet and turned it on again, it would take another 10 minutes. Moreover, the water immediately turned cold while I was washing, and I was frozen. If we say that because the place is remote and the conditions are limited, the room price of nearly 600 yuan is not inferior to the 100+ yuan homestay run by Tibetans in Xiaozhongdian village, whether in terms of scenery, hardware, software, or management, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely low, not to mention compared with the tent hotel I stayed in by the Bottomless Lake the day before. Although it was 1,700+, it was justified and expensive. In short, it is the worst of all the homestays I have stayed in remote areas such as Diqing, western Sichuan, and Xinjiang, and I definitely do not recommend it.

Getting up in the morning and strolling around the farm will give you a special reward

The bedding was clean, and there was an electric blanket to keep you warm at night. There was a kettle and a water heater. It was a pleasure to have such accommodation in such a remote place, not to mention the charming view outside the window. It was also very comfortable to take a walk by the small river and in the woods around. The chicken soup in the restaurant was a great comfort for travelers on cold days.

It is right beside the Daoxiang Highway, the environment is very good, there is a stream passing by, and you can walk up to the bottomless lake if you have time. It is very cold in the mountains in autumn, but fortunately there are electric blankets.

The boss is very friendly, but the room is not very clean. There are spider webs. The house is next to the stream and it is a bit damp.
