We planned to spend a day and a half in Daocheng Yading, so staying in Yading Village saved us a lot of time. The lovely owner contacted us the night before, added us on WeChat, and explained how they handle luggage transfer. This meant we didn't have to worry about our bags and could fully enjoy the scenic area. For those concerned about the high altitude in Yading Village, if you only experience mild altitude sickness, they offer free oxygen concentrators. There's also a cost-effective (paid) bedside oxygen supply available. It was very quiet at night, and the oxygen purity was sufficient for two people. The guesthouse even upgraded us to a room facing the snow-capped mountains, and we had a very peaceful night's sleep. The room itself was quite spacious, decorated in a traditional ******* style. The breakfast was filling, and the owner was incredibly enthusiastic throughout our stay. All the ******* young men working there were friendly locals with beaming smiles.

This hotel truly excels in all four aspects: location, amenities, views, and service. 1. **Location**: Situated at Yading Village Station 3, it's perfect for those planning a two-day trip. You won't have to endure the 40-minute one-way shuttle ride back and forth. The hotel is only a 12-minute drive from the shuttle bus terminal and is right at the entrance of Station 3. You don't need to walk an extra step. You can even wait for the shuttle while taking photos on a swing chair in the lobby or the small courtyard, as you can see the snow-capped mountains from anywhere in the hotel (see photo 1, taken this morning). 2. **Amenities**: They provide a Dyson hairdryer, 'Black Sister' toothpaste, a large jar of freshly cut kumquat and lemon fruit tea, and four separate fruit platters. Each room comes with a small wooden table, a vintage tea set, and two packets of tea. There's also a private balcony where you can step out. You can brew tea and take your wooden tray tea set out to take pictures. 3. **Oxygen Supply**: Oxygen is supplied 24 hours a day, unlike many hotels that only offer it from 7 PM to 7 AM. It's a diffused oxygen supply with 24% oxygen concentration. Hotels in Litang typically only reach 21%. If you have an oxygen bag, you can even refill it in your room as the interface is compatible. 4. **Service**: Around 8 PM, I felt cold and asked the front desk to check if the air conditioning was working correctly. Without a word, the front desk brought up a massive heater that could reach a maximum temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. You'll sleep soundly and won't get cold, and it's completely silent. 5. **Luggage Service**: If you're staying at the hotel with luggage and find it inconvenient to carry to the attractions the next day, you can store it at the front desk. You also won't have to worry about wasting time and queuing for another shuttle to pick up your luggage at the station on your return journey. A front desk staff member will wait for you at the station with your luggage after your return bus departs. You don't even need to get off; they'll load your luggage directly onto the shuttle bus. Nice! 6. **Convenience Store**: If you're short on food, there's a small supermarket about 50 meters from the hotel. A bowl of braised beef noodles costs only 7 yuan – grab it! This is inside a scenic area; at the visitor center, it would start at 20 yuan.

This hotel is highly recommended. Located within the Daocheng Yading Scenic Area, it's just a few minutes' walk from the visitor center. It has its own large parking lot in front, convenient for those traveling by car. The rooms are spacious, bright, and clean, and even have underfloor heating. They also provide oxygen concentrators to help with altitude sickness. Special praise goes to the hotel owner, who is not only beautiful but also incredibly gentle and kind. She is extremely considerate of guests, treating them like family and valued guests. She even personally explains the scenic routes and highlights to guests; this heartwarming service deserves high praise. I would definitely stay here again next time.

Regarding transportation, my navigation couldn't lead me directly to the hotel's courtyard. I ended up calling the front desk, and a staff member came out to guide me. The route is: follow the main road to the alley next to the 'Snack Youming' store, and go all the way to the end. The room and facilities were great; I even got a free upgrade to a suite. The shower pressure and water temperature were perfect, and the bed's firmness was just right. There's also a laundry room in the hotel. Overall, the facilities and environment met my expectations. However, there were two minor drawbacks. The toilet flush button was blocked by the vanity, making it a bit inconvenient to use. Also, there was no place to hang clothes in the room. The front desk also offers oxygen top-up services.

This guesthouse is a hidden gem in Yading Village. Its location at Station 3 is convenient yet quiet. It faces the majestic Xiannairi peak, perfect for photography enthusiasts who can capture the sunrise over Xiannairi and the golden sunset over Chanadorje from the rooftop. For friends traveling together or families with children, you can relax on the lounge chairs outside the guesthouse's restaurant, facing the snow-capped mountains, and purify your soul. The rooms are equipped with oxygen supply, ensuring a comfortable stay at high altitudes. For families with children, you can head out for a short hike after checking in. The lake is calmer in the afternoon, and the reflections are clearer due to the angle of the light. For those who love hiking, I highly recommend staying a night in Yading Village. This allows ample time for the long trail and helps you acclimatize better to the high altitude, ensuring you're in top form for hiking the next day. The guesthouse also provides complimentary hiking poles, which is a thoughtful touch. Overall, the experience was incredibly comfortable and offered excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

The bed in our room was incredibly comfortable, and we had a direct view of the snow-capped mountains from our window. We booked a special offer room, and the price was truly amazing for the value. When we arrived in Daocheng, a lovely lady personally picked us up, helped with our bags, and took us to the hotel. She even offered us warm ginger tea. The next day, after our hike, we were greeted with a comforting bowl of chicken soup – that moment felt like pure salvation! The people in the village were also very friendly and would greet us proactively. The hotel's service was impeccable; they answered every question and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!

The owner is very welcoming. If you're going to Daocheng, it's a good idea to contact them in advance. You can drop off your luggage at stop #1, and someone will transport it to the hotel. When you're heading back, it's just about a 100m walk from stop #2. The room has a rustic, wood-themed decor and comes with floor heating, plus free oxygen supply. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and the shower has good water pressure with hot water. The room layout is comfortable, and the decor is quite new. When you open the curtains, you get a fantastic view of the snow-capped mountains – truly a top-notch experience in such a setting. Since there aren't many restaurants nearby, we just ordered food directly from the hotel, and guests get a 12% discount. The ingredients were very fresh, but it's tough to keep food piping hot in high-altitude areas, so there was a bit of a wait for our order, and it cooled down pretty quickly. Reheating it also took some time. 🥲

The room was very clean and hygienic! The curtains were also a pleasant color, blocked out light perfectly, and were great for sleeping. The front desk staff was very friendly; if I needed anything, I just told them and they arranged it. Next time I'm in town, it's definitely worth staying here again!

It was a great place for a Westerner to stay. The staff were very helpful. The location was great and there were plenty of food and drink options.Very close by

The room is super cozy, the quality of the bed linen and towels is excellent and it’s located very close to the park entrance. The only observation is in relation to the view, which says it has a mountain view when we booked the Boutique 2-bed Room, but they gave us a room on the ground floor, after insisting, they gave us a room on the third floor, still the view was not that good.
