This was, hands down, one of the most amazing inn/hotel experiences I've ever had in my life. From the stunning property, to the gorgeous surrounding scenery, to the family-like hospitality of the hosts, to the level of culture and beauty packed in the whole experience, it was incredible. The inn is almost like a mini "homemade" version of a boutique hotel property like Aman, and the decor is stunning. One of the highlights for me was simply being able to drink tea in multiple tea ceremonies with the owner and housekeeper, sitting at a beautiful large Chinese Mahogany table and watching the process unfold. The teas grown on the property are simply fantastic. Beyond that, the inn offers not only comfortable accommodations to rest and chill out, but also fun activities such as partaking in the tea-making process, visiting local coffee farms, hiking down the ridge, and dining in local restaurants. Simply put, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended. I miss it already.?
Little gem in the mountains of nannuoshan, just 40 minutes away from linghong! Beautiful rooms, with great views of tea fields in hills. Waking up amidst the clouds. The super friendly host taught us every thing about tea and provided a wonderful breakfast.
I stayed 3 nights and would love to have stayed more! I came for the tea and could not be happier with my experience. I learned a ton about how pu’er tea is made and graded and marketed and sold. My hosts were super-nice - they treated me like family. Special thanks to Abu, whose singing is nothing short of angelic. When she sang during my check-in I was amazed but worried that locals were expected to sing for guests. But a highlight of my stay - of my entire trip to China - was listening to her sing when she was working around the guesthouse and thought no one was listening. A quick piece of advice for new guests: get out and explore the local village/market/mountain. There’s so much to see here, and your hosts are proud of their community and culture and will help you appreciate it.
