A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Shangri-La – Heartfelt Hospitality & Breathtaking Views
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Shangri-La overlooking open greenlands, this manor truly took our breath away. From the moment we arrived, my entire family was blown away by the spectacular views and, more importantly, the superb hospitality and attentiveness of the staff.
We arrived late—close to 9pm—after a full day exploring Balagezong. Despite the hour, four staff members ran out to help us with our luggage. After such a long day, their warm welcome genuinely touched my heart. To top it off, we were surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a larger manor complete with amazing amenities and an even better view. What a beautiful gesture!
The next morning at breakfast, the chef immediately noticed I was Muslim and personally assured us that halal-friendly meals had been prepared. That level of attentiveness and cultural sensitivity meant so much to us — thank you!
On our final day, we were surprised once more with lovely Shangri-La souvenirs from the staff. The owner of the manor even personally drove us to the train station, while the rest of the team helped with our luggage one last time. It was such a warm, heartfelt send-off.
Special thanks to Dang Zheng and Shan Zheng for going above and beyond. We will always remember your kindness.
I would absolutely recommend this manor to anyone visiting Shangri-La — a true hidden gem that combines natural beauty with deeply personal service.
