Find 3-Star Hotels in Deqin

The room with a view was great! When we arrived in the afternoon, the snow-capped mountains were incredibly clear, and the balcony was perfect for taking photos. There was plenty of closet space for our luggage, and even a thoughtful clothesline. The bread on the first floor was delicious. The front desk staff were all very kind. It would be even more perfect if parking were a bit more convenient.

The view from the room's window was absolutely stunning! It was my first time staying in a room with such a large floor-to-ceiling window, directly facing the snow-capped mountains outside. The two double beds were huge, and the room was so spacious it almost felt a bit empty, hahaha. The cloud conditions outside the window gave a good indication of the cloud cover at Feilai Temple, which was both beautiful and convenient. Traveling to and from the hotel from Shangri-La using Diqing Transportation was very easy, as the hotel is only about 100-200 meters from their bus stop. The owner was incredibly kind. When we left, it was raining, and even though it was a short distance, he still drove us. The hotel also has a restaurant on the first floor. The chef is amazing, hailing from Dujiangyan, Sichuan, with over a decade of experience. The Sichuan cuisine is incredibly authentic and can be made mildly spicy. It was super delicious, perfectly blending local Deqin ingredients like yak meat and ******* pork. The fragrant Sichuan dishes truly relieved my travel fatigue. A big thank you to the chef!

After a 6-hour trek into Yubeng, just when my legs were about to give out, I found the hotel right near the village entrance, saving me from having to walk further in. What a lifesaver! The front desk staff was incredibly attentive during check-in, emphasizing safety concerns. A week before my arrival, they even messaged me via WeChat with itinerary details and various tips. They also checked on my progress when I was delayed getting into the village. Figure 1 shows a cozy corner in the common area, where I sat with the feline 'manager' lounging opposite me. The fresh alpine azaleas arranged daily are a delightful touch, really showing the hotel's thoughtfulness! I was very happy with the rooms as well. Figures 2 and 3 show the two room types I stayed in. The decor is charmingly antique, with wooden furniture and accents that give it an authentic old-house feel, rather than a generic, cookie-cutter look. It felt very comfortable and relaxing. The underfloor heating was exceptionally warm, and the pillows were incredibly comfortable. Figure 4 shows the snow-capped mountains directly visible from my room window, as well as the iconic Yubeng scenery captured from the entrance. Simply stunning!

I traveled thousands of miles to Deqin just to witness the majestic beauty of the snow-capped mountains 🏔. I'm so glad I booked a room with a snow view at this hotel. It was a very cost-effective choice for a solo traveler. When it's time to enjoy life, you should go for it; you only live once. Let this brief freedom be a seasoning for an ordinary life, giving yourself the courage for a better one. The hotel service was excellent; everyone was very attentive to me since I was traveling alone, and they even gave me a small ornament when I left. The room was spacious and elegant, very comfortable to stay in. The diffused oxygen supply also worked well, although I tend to get nervous easily and still went to the hospital to breathe some oxygen for a while. Actually, there's no need to be too afraid of altitude sickness; most symptoms can be relieved at the hospital. Most importantly, the hotel's 5th-floor observation deck is fantastic. You don't need to crowd with people at the Wunongding viewpoint. I left my camera at the hotel to shoot a time-lapse and went to take some portraits. Plus, watching the starry sky and waiting for the sunrise with friends from all corners of the world at the hotel was truly a romantic experience. Finally, regarding the mountain views, this was a completely successful trip. From sunset to high noon, I was honored to witness the diverse charm of Meili Snow Mountain. On the first evening, as the vehicle drove out of National Highway 214, I caught sight of the thirteen peaks of Meili. Clouds drifted slowly, and the sun gradually set. Soon after, the Milky Way hung low above Mt. Miancimu, and Comet Lemmon descended towards Mt. Bawu Bameng, creating a starry night. Under the stars, the Winter Triangle appeared even more captivating, adorned with the Taurus meteor shower, making the night sky seem like a dream. As night deepened and the moon rose, the crescent moon stubbornly illuminated the snow-capped mountains, casting a faint pearly white glow. Until dawn, the sky transformed from blue to pink, heralding the arrival of a new day. At daybreak, the first ray of sunlight illuminated the peak of Kawagarbo, and the legendary 'Sunlight on Golden Mountain' passionately displayed Meili's grandeur. Once the golden light covered all thirteen peaks, the contours of the snow mountain were clearly outlined, and the most beautiful snow mountain finally revealed its perfect form. The mountain doesn't speak, but people have wishes; Meili just stands quietly, inspiring endless imagination. After the crowds receded, the snow mountain returned to its pristine white, and strolling through Wunongding, watching the mountains, listening to the wind, and playing with cats, offered another kind of pleasure. People say that seeing the 'Sunlight on Golden Mountain' brings good luck for the whole year. A year is too long; I only know that at this moment, I have captured the happiness of life.

The hotel is located in Upper Yubeng Village, making it very convenient to access the Ice Lake trail. You can even see the 'Sunlight on Golden Mountain' from your bed. The room has an open-air balcony, which is perfect for enjoying the views. I had read some reviews mentioning construction noise, but during our stay from May 8th to 10th, we didn't experience any noise or see any construction work below our room or outside the window. Sometimes, we'd see calves and ponies walking by downstairs, which added a nice, natural touch.

Had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful. The front desk even upgraded our room and included breakfast. The owner personally brought an oxygen tube to our room. We had a great view of the snow-capped mountains, and there's a restaurant and shops conveniently located downstairs.

The room was clean and tidy, with new and complete facilities, making for a very comfortable stay. The service was warm and attentive, always meeting our needs. The location is great, with convenient transportation, and it offers excellent value for money. Overall, I'm very satisfied and recommend it to friends who are traveling.

The room was cozy, clean, and comfortable, with a tasteful decor throughout. The underfloor heating and diffused oxygen supply meant we didn't have to worry about altitude sickness at all. The staff were warm and friendly! There's also a cafe and an observation deck on the top floor where you can see Baima Snow Mountain and Feilai Temple. The afternoon sun was perfect for photos, and the scenery was absolutely stunning! The hotel's location isn't far from the Meili Snow Mountain observation deck, so transportation is very convenient. There's a snack street near the Feilai Temple observation deck, and watching the snow-capped mountains in the evening is beautiful—highly recommended! The hotel's restaurant is on the first floor, which is super convenient if you don't feel like going out in the cold.

Getting to the hotel requires turning off National Highway 214 onto a village road, which was completely dark at night. At that moment, I regretted booking this place. However, after driving down that small road for about 5 minutes, we finally arrived, and I immediately felt that my choice was actually a good one. Once we entered the room, my worries completely disappeared! The room felt like a 4-star standard and, thankfully, was smoke-free. Even better, each room had a copy of the 'Brief Introduction to Diqing Prefecture,' a very professional, detailed, and comprehensive book that helps you quickly and systematically understand the area. The hotel restaurant's food was good (though a bit salty for us southerners). The prices weren't cheap, around 50 RMB per person, but given the generous portions, I wouldn't say it was expensive. The main benefit was not having to go out to eat, which saved time and effort. The hotel's environment and ambiance were perfect; it truly felt like a manor. I heard it used to be a vineyard that later upgraded to tourism services. Because it's far from the town and main road, it's incredibly quiet, and you can even see the peak of Meili Snow Mountain directly from here.

We spent an excellent time at ShanYu hotel , excellent location, majestic mountain views, very friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable. The only upgrades we would have liked are air conditioning (it's pretty hot in August here, notwithstanding the 3200m altitude) and maybe a swimming pool / sauna? That would really help with the recovery after a day of tracking the nearby mountains. Thank you. I definitely recommend it! 👌
