The Tianyu Tacheng Boutique Inn is an ideal spot for travelers wanting to discover the city. The Tianyu Tacheng Boutique Inn offers a pleasant stay in Weixi for those traveling for business or leisure. Xianggelila Railway Station is located approximately 120km away and Diqing Shangri-La Airport around 122km away. Famous attractions Tacheng Culture Square and Tacheng Yunnan Golden Monkey National Park are just a short taxi ride away. When guests have some time on their hands they can make use of the onsite facilities. This Weixi hotel offers parking on site. According to our guests, this hotel provides a very high level of service.
"The hotel is quite large for the area, so the parking lot is also quite large, which is rare in the area, and can probably accommodate over 20 cars.
The owner can arrange interactions with locals, home visits, and cultural heritage experiences. The bedding and toiletries are excellent. The shower has strong water pressure and plenty of water, and the shower floor drain drains quickly, preventing water from accumulating. Breakfast, tea/coffee, and meals by the fields are a fantastic setting. I found the breakfast delicious, featuring local, seasonal ingredients.
Tacheng isn't as well-known as Shangri-La in Lijiang. At an altitude of around 2,400 meters, the climate is excellent, and it's definitely worth a 2-3 night stay to experience it all. You can hike, harvest, meditate, and more. Most importantly, local ethnic minorities (think Tibetans and Lisu) still live here. From your room or balcony, you can see the fields working in the distance. I have to say Songtsam's location is a sure win. (This is not a review of the Songtsam Hotel.)
There are also many boutique B&Bs in the area, all very unique, so be sure to book in advance."
