Ginkgo Village

3-star accommodation but 5-star service @ Ginkgo Village, Tengchong A quick getaway with friends to see the changing leaves in Tengchong, a city where no one knows what to say when asked. The two of us stayed at a homestay called Ginkgo Village, traveling by private rental car from Tengchong city to the accommodation. Since we can't speak Chinese, the rental car driver tried to help as much as possible by having the staff from the accommodation pick us up at the parking lot during the festival. When we arrived at the accommodation, Tao Tao, the caretaker, gave us a tour of the room, how to turn on the heater and electric bed, and provided a lovely complimentary set of services, and invited us to join the evening tea party. We asked for a room on the ground floor and got a room with a 400-year-old ginkgo tree in the room :) We used a translation app to communicate, but it wasn't a problem. In the evening, we told Tao Tao that we wanted a can of cold-weather drink, so we got a bottle of Dali, while my friend got a pot of stewed pears, which tasted excellent. When Tao Tao saw that the two of us were enjoying our drinks, he kindly brought us hot milk in a teacup to try. We refilled it again and again, with all sorts of flavors to try. During my stay, Tao Tao helped me with everything, from calling a car to see the village to the car that took me back to Tengchong airport. It was another unforgettable trip that I would give 6 stars. The location is very good, right next to the tourist spots.

The room is clean and big. I especially like the big tea table in the room. The boss thoughtfully prepared mineral water for tea. The boss is very nice and his homemade dried figs and other refreshments are great Reasonable breakfast and good service

The proprietress was very enthusiastic and honest. She picked us up at the door and helped us carry our luggage. The proprietress, who drove us here, also gave us his parking space and parked his car far away. We were always taken upstairs and downstairs, it felt a bit like visiting relatives when we were young. After we put down our luggage, we were given fried Ginkgo chestnuts grown by ourselves. Ginkgo cake! ! When we left this morning, the landlady prepared a lot of food for us to eat on the way, including local eggs, corn, and the delicious ginkgo biloba cake. All in all, a very good boss and a great stay.
