Yunlanli Mid-Mountain Homestay

I appreciate the efforts the host made to resolve the issue we encountered. They were trying their best. The hotel is well renovated with good taste.

This lodging is situated 10 minutes walk away from Dukezong ancient town on a quiet hill. There is no lift but the lodging is 3 stories high and does not require a lift (in my opinion). There is oxygen facilities as Shangri-La is situated 3000m above sea level. They even have free pick up and drop off services. However, do inquire early as the host is a married couple who are running the hostel by themselves, this means that they drive and pick up their guests personally. The host of this lodging is helpful, kind and patient. We did not have any issues navigating Shangri-La with their help. Whenever we left the lodging, the host would recommend us to bring an umbrella or to bring some UV protection (UV jackets, umbrella or sunblock) based on the weather. On some days there were fresh oranges which they offered to us before we left the hostel too, it was certainly a nice touch. On the days when we did not know where to go and what to eat, they helped to recommend us other sights to see and food places which catered to our palate. The restaurants which they recommend were what they had eaten before which catered to our taste and palate and most importantly, the restaurants they recommend are not tourist traps.

Contacted owner a night before arrival and he waited for our arrival at the train station 10 minutes even before our arrival. We were greeted warmly at the reception with hot tea and lucky us, early check in was available. Owner carried our 25kg-heavy luggage to the room and introduced us the usages of moisturiser, oxygen supply, controllers etc. Room was spacious, clean and neat, comfortable for the two of us, overlooking the temples just from the window. Plus points were definitely the comfy bed, pillows, LED projectors with variety of shows and clothes hangers! Toiletries, bath towels, face towels were all disposable, ensuring tip-top hygiene. Daily room cleaning with unlimited water bottles supply. There are washing machine and drying machine that the staff were so helpful to help us with laundry- all we needed to do is just pass them our dirty clothes and waited to be returned. One evening we came back in cold, the reception staff immediately offered us hot ginger tea. Location is merely just 5 mins walk away from the busy streets. Eateries are all around. Regardless, all these do not affect the calm and quiet within the homestay. Perfect homestay with superb hospitality. All you gotta do is enjoy the stay and be rest assured that this homestay management will take good care of you. This is definitely the right homestay for anyone!

Perfect Location – Just steps from Dukezong Old Town’s iconic Giant Prayer Wheel, this cozy homestay offers easy access to shops, cafes, and the serene Guishan Temple. Stunning Views – Perched on a hillside, many rooms and the terrace provide breathtaking panoramas of the ancient town and surrounding mountains—especially magical at sunrise. Friendly Hosts – The staff go above and beyond, offering travel tips, helping with luggage.

Very quiet and pretty homestay. Owner also have free pickup/send off service to railway station/airport. Room was big and comfortable. Will return to stay :)
