Okay, this review was written while staying at another hotel but desperately missing Taohuać (hahaha). This time, I came to Lijiang without any prior planning and only booked this hotel upon arrival. It truly exceeded my expectations! I initially booked for only one night but ended up extending for two more (because it was the off-season, and they even upgraded our room, hee hee).
đLocation & Scenery: It's located right within the Yulong Snow Mountain scenic area. There's a mountain road, but the entire journey is picturesque, and the snow-capped mountains are stunning. The scenery is definitely among the top 3 in Lijiang, absolutely beautiful! With cows, sheep, horses, meadows, lakes, and snow mountains, it gives off a total Swiss vibe.
đ Room Facilities & Hygiene: With air conditioning and underfloor heating, you don't have to worry about feeling cold â it's very comfortable. I'm extremely particular about hygiene, and during my stay, I experienced three different room types, all of which were impeccably clean. I must particularly praise the shower and hot water; the water pressure was incredibly strong! Anyone who's particular about shower pressure will understand how amazing this is; I can't praise it enough!!!
đŽRestaurant: This is the taste I miss most since leaving the hotel and going elsewhere. All the dishes are specialties and absolutely delicious. Shout out to Chef Wang!
đ©Service: This is the main highlight I want to talk about. Chen Guanxi, Li Ronghao, Liang Bo, Cai Xukun, Jiancai Ma Ge, Old A, Zi Chen, the 1.9-meter tall barista... they come from different ethnic groups: *******, Naxi, Yi, Lisu, Pumi, Mosuo... Each person is so unique, and we truly became like friends. They taught me so much about various minority cultures, and I even learned how to churn butter tea (I heard that if you're good at making butter tea in ******* culture, you can marry two wives, hahaha~). In the evenings, you can request any song, and the butler will sing it for you. Everyone is full of life and passion. The most touching small detail was that I had a bit of a cold on the day I checked in. From the front desk to the butlers, everyone showed genuine concern, asking how I was, making me medicine, and the first thing any staff member I encountered the next day would ask was if my cold was better. It was like family-level care. At that moment, I thought to myself, 'Am I really just staying in a hotel?' It was incredibly thoughtful đ„č. (Here I'll omit 200 words of gushy writing, it's just too sentimental...)
Summary: If there's one place I'd want to visit countless times, it's Taohuać, not just for the scenery, but also for all the 'family' there~
