Xiayubeng Village

After visiting Lijiang and witnessing the majesty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain After going to Shaxi and witnessing the traces of the ancient Tea Horse Road I once again embarked on a journey to Yubeng Outside the car window is the snow-covered Napahai A fleeting glimpse of the Songzanlin Monastery Further ahead is the surging Lancang River winding through the canyons Entering the Baima Snow Mountain, it becomes a vast expanse of endless white - To the east of Meili, at the foot of the sacred mountain Lies the destination of this trip, Yubeng Village In the winter, the village houses are neatly arranged With the morning smoke curling up and the sound of cowbells From the morning's sunlight on the Golden Mountain to the arrival of the blues The golden roof of the temple appears tranquil and mysterious - Staying at the Wildtalk has been the long-awaited expectation of this trip Outside is the icy world, with the snow mountain appearing and disappearing in the clouds Inside the room, the warmth remains, and the comfortable temperature relaxes one The thoughtful service is a sincere gesture to the guests No need to get up too early in the morning, waking up at 8 am allows for Enjoying breakfast in the lobby while admiring the sunlight on the Golden Mountain - 📠 Yubeng Travel Tips ① You can fly directly to Diqing Shangri-La/Lijiang ② Lijiang has opened a direct high-speed train to Shangri-La taking 1.5h ③ You can stay one night in Shangri-La, as you might miss The car to Yubeng, just stay in the city for one night, and set off early the next day ④ Take a business car from Shangri-La to Xidang Village parking lot for 4-5h Usually a 7-seater business car, 600-700 yuan/car, can be chartered or shared ⑤ Yubeng scenic area ticket is 55 yuan/person, you can take an off-road vehicle or hike in (hiking one way is about 8h) ⑥ The ticket to Lower Yubeng Village is 260 yuan/person, and the return trip is 200 yuan/person (In case of snow and extreme weather, the off-road vehicles will stop operating, and you can only hike in) ⑦ Yubeng scenic area stops selling tickets at 17:00 every day ⑧ Wildtalk breakfast starts at 8:00, and you can enjoy breakfast while watching the sunlight on the Golden Mountain (the sunlight on the Golden Mountain is also around 8:00)

🔼Upper Yubeng Shanyu Guesthouse (Photos 2~10) A very new guesthouse, located at a higher position. The interior is spacious and bright, very clean, with large glass windows offering great views. Pulling back the curtains reveals an unobstructed view of the snow-capped mountains. On a winter morning, watching the sunlit golden mountains from the room is truly comfortable. The bathroom is divided into three separate areas, and the toiletries are also quite good. My favorite feature is the guesthouse's own heating system, which starts every evening at 6 o'clock. Although it doesn't get overly warm, it's enough to not feel cold. The lobby on the first floor is very spacious, with ethnic costumes available for borrowing, a supermarket, and also a restaurant where you can have a full meal. Breakfast includes rice noodles and some self-service snacks, which taste very average. You can go to the opposite Chuanwei Food Tribe, which opens very early. 🙅If I had to point out a downside, it would be the steep slope in front of the door. After climbing the mountain all day, the last stretch of road is really the last straw, too hard . However, the guesthouse offers foot soaking, which is quite comfortable. 🚪: 98 guest rooms 💰: 510+ There are also cheaper bunk beds 🔽Lower Yubeng Muchen Mountain House (Photos 11~17) Located further inside the lower village of Yubeng, it has a very artistic log style. The owners seem to be a couple, very enthusiastic, and you can borrow trekking poles for free. There's a small courtyard with many cats running around. The guesthouse faces the snow mountains, but unfortunately, the view is somewhat obstructed by other guesthouses in front 🤷‍♀️. The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms are clean. You can have breakfast, and the presentation looks quite nice, but due to an early start for hiking, I didn't have the chance to eat. 🙅I wouldn't recommend staying here in winter, although it might be a comfortable guesthouse in other seasons. There is underfloor heating, but it requires inserting a power card to operate, and it heats up very slowly. After returning from trekking, turning on the underfloor heating, it doesn't warm up all night, too cold to dare to take a shower. There's a gap under the door, and the room is even colder the next morning than it was at night... The value for money is too low. 🚪: 20 guest rooms 💰: 610+ The last photo was taken from the rooftop terrace of the Yubeng Holiday Hotel, with a nice view.
