Mushan Yingxue · Sky Domain ISLAND VILLAGE (Xinduqiao Town)

Just got back from Xinduqiao, and while the memory's still fresh, I absolutely have to rave about this unexpected gem we stumbled upon. Honestly, by the time we reached Xinduqiao, I was pretty tired and didn't have high expectations for accommodation; I just wanted a decent night's sleep. But this place gave me quite a few pleasant surprises. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the room was how 'un-highland-like warm' it was. The underfloor heating was cranked up, and walking barefoot felt incredibly comfortable. There was a free oxygen diffuser running, almost silently, and indeed, it was the soundest sleep I'd had since arriving at altitude. No headaches, and I woke up feeling completely refreshed. My room had a window with an excellent view, and the scenery was truly breathtaking – nestled by mountains and a river. In the evening, I just curled up on the sofa in my room, doing nothing but watching the mountains and clouds outside slowly change colors, from golden to pinkish-purple, eventually darkening as stars began to twinkle one by one. In that moment, all the driving I'd done that day felt absolutely worth it. The hotel's common areas were also quite interesting. The coffee bar and screening area were connected and designed with an open feel. I ordered a drink here one evening and chatted with some fellow travelers I'd met on the road; the atmosphere was very relaxed. I only realized it was pet-friendly when I saw other guests with their dogs – one dog was quietly lounging on the terrace, enjoying the view, which was quite heartwarming. The staff didn't feel like 'hotel employees'; they were more like friends helping you out. I casually asked where the best spot for sunrise was, and the guy not only gave detailed directions but also showed me photos he'd taken on his phone and offered time recommendations. If I had to pick a flaw, since the hotel is newly opened, you can still see a few signs of it being fresh and not fully 'broken in,' but it's nothing major. Breakfast is a simple set menu, but a steaming bowl of rice noodles hit the spot perfectly. For those driving, parking is very convenient. Overall, it doesn't feel like a cold, impersonal hotel; it's more like a warm haven that understands both the plateau and its travelers. If you're passing through Xinduqiao and looking for a comfortable and good-value place to stay, this one is definitely worth considering.

The hotel staff were very welcoming and the room was very clean!

Environment & Location 🌳 The location is excellent; there's a small river right outside the hotel, which I really liked. I stayed for three days and two nights and saw some unique scenery. It snowed early on the third day. The soundproofing was excellent, and I slept very soundly at night. The view from the window was expansive, and the natural light was superb. 🛏️ The room was even more spacious than it looked in the pictures, with a well-designed layout. Even with my suitcase spread out, it didn't block the way at all. The mattress was just the right firmness, and there were different pillow heights to choose from. The comforter was light yet warm. The underfloor heating was very effective, with excellent diffusion. Hot water was instant and the water pressure was stable. The details were a big plus: plenty of USB charging ports, well-designed lighting zones, and curtains with excellent blackout capabilities. Cleanliness 🧹 Visibly clean. There wasn't a single hair on the floor, the sheets and duvet covers were perfectly ironed, and there were no water stains in the corners of the bathroom. The provided toiletries weren't cheap bulk products; they smelled wonderful. 🤝 From check-in to check-out, the entire experience was warm and courteous. The front desk processing was very quick. We had a child with us, and later extended our stay to other room types. They were very considerate in arranging adjacent rooms or rooms with better views. 💟 💎The quality at this price point is truly a pleasant surprise.

The hotel's location is very convenient for dining out and visiting nearby mountain passes. The receptionist was very welcoming, chatting with us, introducing attractions, helping us bring our things to the room, and explaining the precautions for the underfloor heating and oxygen machine. She even turned on the underfloor heating in advance – a very thoughtful touch overall. The room itself looked exactly like the photos, clean, tidy, and comfortable. The room was well-equipped and relatively new, with a nice style without any unnecessary frills. The hotel's decor was also quite beautiful and suitable for taking photos. Actually, this isn't my first time in Xinduqiao; there are many hotels here, but most are quite old. This one in Mushan is quite new, and the overall experience was much better. I recommend it to my friends! It's easy to see the golden sunrise over the mountains.

Highly recommended! The front desk staff were very welcoming. The breakfast was excellent, and the location was very convenient. The atmosphere was wonderful. The hotel was beautiful, the rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, the underfloor heating was very warm, and the facilities were complete. Truly a very nice hotel. The location is close to the national highway, but it's also very quiet. The hotel's decor is quite beautiful, with a great atmosphere and perfect for photos. The fireplace was also particularly interesting; I absolutely loved it. The front desk staff were very kind! Haha, they even helped us watch the laundry and dry our clothes. To be honest, in other hotels I've stayed in, I always had to watch over the laundry and drying myself, so this was a really great experience!

Honestly, this hotel is really great! It has a fantastic feel, very comfortable and relaxing. There's a huge Gongga Snow Mountain display on the first floor, which is quite unique. The public areas and lounge area are spacious, although the reception is on the third floor, which took us a little while to find, haha! The third floor is also beautiful, perfect for taking photos, having a cocktail or coffee, and relaxing. The fourth floor also has a great public area for photos, and the pictures turn out especially beautiful. The spiral staircase is very distinctive. Overall, the first impression of the hotel is excellent, and the service is truly outstanding. They patiently helped solve any problems. The receptionists were all very kind and welcoming, but not in an uncomfortable way; instead, they made us feel very comfortable. The hotel's facilities for guests are also very complete. The hot water was warm, and they turned on the underfloor heating in advance, making the room temperature very comfortable. The bedding was also very comfortable; the latex pillows are much more comfortable than cotton pillows. The hotel was also very clean.
