Kunming! The mountain retreat has taken it to the next level

The real-life Wizard of Oz does not disappoint, so comfortable you won’t want to leave 🌿 ⛰️ The hotel is hidden halfway up Ailao Mountain, just a ten-minute drive from the popular Shimen Gorge Scenic Area 🚗 Surrounded by primeval forest, a natural oxygen bar confirmed 🍃 You can catch an incredible sunrise and sea of clouds in the early morning ☁️ Ancient trees with twisted roots outside the window create a full sense of seclusion, as if stepping into a fairy tale! 🏡 Every corner of the room feels like a carefully crafted work of art! Opening the door, you’re greeted by the faint scent of ancient wood 🪵 The quality of the fixtures is amazing, detail lovers will be thrilled ~ The room’s water basin is filled with natural spring water from Ailao Mountain 💧 The large floor-to-ceiling window by the bathtub is perfect, soaking while enjoying the mountain forest view is incredibly healing 🛁 🍱 The must-order main dish is the stewed chicken soup! So fresh it’ll make your eyebrows drop, the meat tender and melts in your mouth 🐔 You can have unlimited refills of yogurt, achieving yogurt freedom 🥛 The restaurant has a pool of clear water reflecting towering trees, dining feels like eating inside a landscape painting, full of ceremony ~ When leaving, you’ll receive a beautifully packaged brown sugar gift 🎁 So heartwarming it’s almost unfair! Sisters coming to Ailao Mountain, just go here with your eyes closed!
