Hot spring Hotels in Daocheng

Snow Garden Hotel is almost a ******* Museum: on almost every wall is something of cultural interest. As is so often the case in China the group of young women on reception duties band together to help the linguistically challenged foreign tourist. The hotel is situated in Jinzhu Town, which is about half way between Daocheng Airport and Yading Scenic Area, helpful for acclimatisation. It is on one of the main streets, with easy access to shops and eateries.

The hotel is very upscale and classy. The waitresses and ladies are very enthusiastic! As soon as we parked the car, he helped us with our luggage. He was so enthusiastic. The room was nice, clean and spacious. What surprised me most was that this cost-effective hotel room also came with mineral water and coffee for free. The breakfast was very good, very good, and very suitable to our taste.

📍Location: The hotel is about 30 minutes' drive from Daocheng Yading Scenic Area. The whole road is easy to walk. It is near the snow mountain, with an altitude of nearly 3,600 meters (don't worry about hypoxia, the hotel provides oxygen concentrators for free), and it is very quiet at night. 🥘Food: There are relatively few restaurants around. You can order food at the hotel. Dinner is served until 9 pm, so I ordered food in advance on WeChat and informed the arrival time. The recommended beef blanket (should be this name) is a bit like boiled beef covered with a piece of dough. It tastes very good and the portion is large. I also ordered a plateau potato twice-cooked pork. The potato is thin and crispy. My wife likes it very much. However, because it is in Sichuan, the dishes are spicy. Friends who can't eat spicy food should make notes in advance. 🧑🏻💼Service: The staff are polite and kind. The boy who met me is tall and thin. He pays attention to service details and is very considerate. When we checked out the next day, we met a gentleman who looked like the boss. He chatted with us and introduced the history of the hotel. It turned out that the hotel has been around for 20 years. It was demolished and rebuilt in 2018, and it took 4 years to build. 🛏️Guest room: clean, warm and detail-oriented, Toshiba smart toilet, IKEA cups, humidifiers, what I found particularly magical was that the combs provided were not plastic disposables, but small wooden combs, which were so cute that I took them away haha. The water volume was sufficient and the hot water came out quickly. The bedding was clean and hygienic. 💖Highlight: Of course it was the hot springs. After the hell hike in Aden, soaking in the hot springs was so relaxing. There are many pools, including high-temperature and low-temperature areas, and wooden barrel areas that local *******s prefer. There is also an infinity pool. At night, you can watch cars passing by on the road below from time to time. The a**osphere is so good. It is said that there is also a ”wild pool” surrounded by stones under construction. If you have the opportunity to come again, you must experience it. (ps. I am a photography enthusiast. Don’t think I am a shill just because the photos I take are so serious. Hahahahahaha)
