This is definitely the best hotel on the mountain! The amenities, tea sets, and activities are all fantastic. The bonfire host tells amazing stories for 100 minutes every night – we even saw the elder high priest and three old maiden sisters. Our room was excellent, and we loved the daily morning hikes and complimentary afternoon tea. Plus, visiting the Bulang girls for tea-making and enjoying afternoon tea at the Grand Village really made us feel like two nights wasn't enough; three would have been perfect! It's a shame we missed the sunrise, though.

Let's start with the positives: I got to see biodiversity, with insects in the room and snakes at the entrance. Let's move on to the negatives: the wait staff lacked a sense of service, the breakfast was poor, and the facilities were awful. Brown Traditional Roasted Tea Experience: Awkward conversation. Very awkward. Don't make up stories if you don't have any topics. Brown Feast Stir-fried Vegetable Set or Special Soup Pot Set (choose one): I waited a long time in the restaurant before a waiter even came to ask.

I was very satisfied with my overall stay. It's arguably the best hotel in the mountains. A large portion of fresh fruit was delivered daily, and drinks were replenished the next day after they ran out. In the evening, the hotel organized a "fire pit" activity, sharing Bulang ethnic culture and traditional singing and playing, which was very interesting. Every morning, they also organized a brief walking tour to Wengji Ancient Village, which really showed the hotel's dedication. If I had to point out any shortcomings, it would probably be the somewhat frequent mosquitoes and yellowish water quality that are unavoidable in mountain hotels. However, these are simply due to the limitations of the natural environment and are unavoidable due to the hardware conditions.
