No wonder this hotel is so hard to book! After checking in, you can really feel the owner's thoughtful touches everywhere: oxygen concentrators, radiators, motion-sensor bathroom heaters, a ventilation fan on the balcony door, ginger tea, coffee, and snacks. The water pressure is excellent, and the safety light strip on the rooftop viewing platform shows real care for guests who come to get close to the snowy mountains – something I truly appreciated as a first-timer. The complimentary afternoon tea and breakfast are both prepared with great care. The small details truly speak for themselves, as shown in the pictures. This is a great place that deserves to be shared; my friends have already saved it.

The room's location is absolutely fantastic! Even though the hotel is a bit older, it's still very clean. It's close to the observation deck, but you don't even need to go there in the morning because you can see the 'sunrise over the golden mountains' right from your balcony. The afternoon tea, coffee, and drinks are also quite good, and there's a night market right downstairs.

Five-star rating (considering the price and location). **Ambiance:** Absolutely prime location directly opposite the viewing platform. It's a prime spot for admiring the scenery (though light pollution affects moon and star gazing), and also for grabbing some skewers and cultural souvenirs. The pickup point is just a ten-minute walk away. **Cleanliness:** Spotless and very clean. The room came with a telescope, which was fantastic for viewing the snowy mountains – truly beautiful, thank you so much! The coffee and black tea at the bar were from excellent brands, really showing the owner's sincerity. The owner provided tripods which, after a quick chat, I was able to borrow. This was a huge help for photographing the moonlit silver mountains and the golden glow of the sun on the peaks. My only minor complaint is that some parts of the tripods were damaged or rusted, affecting their performance, likely from being left outdoors for self-service. Keeping them indoors or maintaining them more regularly might help. The owner is the author of a book, which was available in the room. Unfortunately, I was short on time and couldn't read it, but I hope to have the chance to next time!

Meili Past is a hotel with a story. I was fortunate to meet the owner, Liao Ge, and even read his (now out-of-print) book in my room. His passion for Meili Snow Mountain is evident in every corner of this hotel. I'm so glad I chose Meili Past.

I highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Feilai Temple! The owner is incredibly kind, the room is clean and tidy, and they have a comprehensive oxygen supply system, along with a blood oxygen saturation monitor. The breakfast is abundant, healthy, and filling, and the lunch and dinner are delicious too. The room's location is directly across from the snack street and observation deck, offering fantastic views. The photo attached was taken from the room's balcony, and the view is even better than from the street. After a lot of comparison and staying at other hotels, this is by far the best value for money accommodation in Feilai Temple! Had a great experience. Wishing the owner prosperous business and all the best!

This hotel is perfectly situated on the first row of Feilai Temple's observation deck, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Upon check-in, the front desk staff proactively informed us of the exact time and best viewing spots for the 'Golden Mountain in the Sun' phenomenon the following morning. The room itself was excellent, with a direct, stunning view of Meili Snow Mountain right from the balcony. Thoughtful amenities like nuts, ginger tea, and milk were provided, along with heating, an oxygen machine, and a humidifier, ensuring a warm and comfortable night's sleep. The next morning, we watched the 'Golden Mountain in the Sun' from the hotel's terrace, followed by a delicious Western-style breakfast. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money and a very satisfying stay experience. Highly recommended!

The hotel's location is excellent; you can see the Meili Snow Mountain from your room and the rooftop, so there's no need to go to an observation deck. Breakfast is included in the room rate, and they also offer free afternoon tea and an oxygen concentrator.
