The Most Beautiful Cloud-Top Hideaway Hotel - Songzan Stone Moon Mountain Residence

Some landscapes are destined to be reached through arduous treks and long journeys. I would never have come to Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture if it weren't for Songzan. Nestled between canyons and secluded from the hustle and bustle, perched atop cliffs with the Nu River at its feet, the Songzan Stone Moon Mountain Residence is the latest in the Songzan series of hotels I've unlocked after the Nanga Bawa Mountain Residence. To get to the hotel, I recommend flying directly to Baoshan Airport from other regions and arranging a hotel transfer. Those who drive themselves from Tibet and like the Songzan brand can consider staying for a day. Songzan - Stone Moon - Mountain Residence. Upon arrival, the staff invites you to sit down and welcomes you with papaya honey water, biscuits, and a warm towel. The holiday atmosphere is strong, and in addition to the check-in area, the lobby has a reception area and a boutique shop with many carefully selected items. I recommend the essential oil soap, geranium essential oil soap, with a very healthy ingredient list consisting of geranium oil, coconut oil, and olive oil, which doesn't dry out the skin when used for washing the face or bathing. The Most Beautiful Cloud-Top Hideaway Hotel, where the houses are built on the cliffs, offers a stunning visual effect. The ecological vegetation is very good, and the climate is also suitable for living. The hotel has an infinity pool. In the morning, the entire hotel is usually shrouded in clouds. When the weather is good, sitting outside reading, looking at the local village opposite, listening to the birds and smelling the faint scent of plants, every breath of air is very sweet. There are huge walnut trees. The distant Gaoligong Mountains. I stayed in a deluxe room with an area of 62 square meters, with a balcony view that is very direct, facing the Nu River and Stone Moon. Every Songzan guest room has a book called 'The Secret Door' on the desk. The room is equipped with a B&O Bluetooth speaker, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and there are two fans on the bed. The mineral water used is 5100, and a special goodnight drink is delivered during the night bed service, with rice wine on the first day and silver ear red dates wolfberry on the second day. The kettle used is Delonghi, the room fridge is free, and the tea bags are a co-branded version of Songzan and chali. The bathroom is very spacious, with double sinks and a large round bathtub, with a separate dry and wet area. The bath salt for soaking is Himalayan salt. The bath products are from the Thai brand Erb, and the soap is geranium essential oil soap, which I really like. The staff turns on the aromatherapy humidifier every day. There is a heating rod on the washstand, a small detail that guests like, so there's no need to worry about washed clothes not drying. At night, looking out from the room, the village outside twinkles like fireflies. If the weather is good, you can see the sky full of stars. The restaurant is on the second floor, and breakfast is also served here. You can order a la carte, and the dishes are consistently good in taste and presentation. The black truffle dumplings are delicious, the hand-grabbed rice is special, and the stinky tofu with cured meat is the most recommended dish, with the chef's understanding of it being spot-on. The desserts and ice cream are good, consistently performing well. The hotel has a SPA and wellness center on the third floor, and Songzan seems to be in deep cooperation with La Mer. The view from the spa room is good, but I feel the prices for facial and body SPA are a bit high. Staying at Songzan, each room comes with a double afternoon tea, which is served at the bar on the first floor. The overall experience is still very good, and there is room for improvement in service. Some staff members are very enthusiastic, and choosing this place is more about the scenery and environment.
