We traveled from Shangri-La Green Valley, Linka, Benzilan to the most anticipated Meili Songtsan. Let me start with the environment. The view of Meili Snow Mountain was very nice. We saw the golden mountain in the sun. The service of Songtsan was also online. However, the food in Meili was really bad. The restaurant management was very good. They kept changing the dishes and waived the meal fee in the end. However, as a hotel at this price, it should be improved. There were also bugs in the food. When we checked out in the morning, the front desk service was always on the phone. We waited for 10 minutes at the door with two luggages. It was hard to describe.

It was my first time staying at Songtsam. Benzilan is the smallest one. It is in a small village and has its own characteristics. The decoration is of good quality. The room is comfortable and clean, which is in line with the low-key luxury positioning of Songtsam. The barbecue dinner is 350 per person. The ingredients are good and all are fresh local specialties. The portion size and dishes are arranged reasonably. The breakfast is very ordinary, and there is no decent coffee.
In general, the experience is good but the price-performance ratio is average, especially in winter when there is no scenery. The nearby LUXE Benzilan is only half the price. If you really want to experience the Songtsam culture, you might as well spend the remaining money here to live in a more distinctive location.

Environment: Very good, at the highest point in Zzhong, overlooking the city. It is a pity that the buildings here lack planning, and the cultural point Zzhong Church is buried in a piece of modern reinforced concrete. The hotel has instead become one of the few characteristic buildings.
Facilities: Very comfortable and modern. The fly in the ointment is that the big table can't find a place to plug in, and I pity people like me who have to work with a laptop for travel. 😂
Service: Very, very good ～ I like you.

Everything exceeded my expectations.
Every detail revealed the ******* culture.

Religion, humanities, nature.
Inheritance, dissemination, trend.
All were perfectly achieved.

Songtsam Linka Shangri-La, you did it.
I hope you continue to thrive.

Staying at the hotel, what caught my eye was Yunnan's largest ******* Buddhist monastery, Ganden Sumtseling Monastery.

When the sun rose,
I opened the window.
The first ray of morning sun shone upon Sumtseling Monastery.
Sacred and pure,
it cleansed the heart of every beholder.

Songtsam Linka has many treasures: a museum, a ******* spa, a ******* carpet museum, three distinct restaurants (Chinese, *******, and Western – all tried and all delicious), an Arc'teryx and % Arabica joint store, and a ******* art boutique.

The entire architecture of Songtsam Linka is a brilliant fusion of ******* culture and modern design.
Every night here, I was amazed by the architectural design of the room, which perfectly balanced culture, aesthetics, and comfort.

Here are some of the moving moments from these past few days:

What first left a particularly deep impression on us, indeed, it amazed us,
was the lecture on Sumtseling Monastery by the ******* guide, Pin Chu.
It was incredibly insightful and profound – a true ******* Buddhist lesson.

Founder Baima Dorjee's museum.
The ******* guide who explained it to us, Zhou,
gave a brilliant presentation – a cultural lesson.

The simple and genuine ******* and Lisu staff are the soul of the hotel.
Xiao Yu, the Lisu girl at the spa (the butter spa was excellent, and the girl was kind and lovely; she brought medicine for my comrade when she felt unwell).
Our butler, Zhima Lamu (who answered every question we had).
The ******* waiter in the restaurant (who gave us local chestnuts).

Every single one of these moments is a vivid memory from Shangri-La,
concrete manifestations of religion and culture.

(Postscript: Full of emotion. At the same time, because Songtsam Linka is in such a sacred place, a treasure trove of natural environment, as a proponent of ESG, I observed a small flaw at Songtsam Linka, and I hope Songtsam Linka can do even better in the future. That is, the vehicles used in the hotel, including the shuttle buses, always emit a huge smell of exhaust fumes when I sit in them, burning a lot of oil. I hope that in the future, electric vehicles can be considered to replace fuel-powered vehicles as transportation for hotel guests, to reduce environmental pollution. Thank you.)

Location was brilliant however it was abit dusty due to the renovation.
It was convenient to not drive up to visit the temple as we can just walk there with tickets provided.
- breakfast was good
- front desk service can be improved but driver and those who worked at the restaurant was brilliant.
- we wanted to order dinner at 8pm from the western restaurant but was told that it’s closed even though we were told that the last orders is at 9pm. 
- not really worth the money. But it is teh founder’s house and we had a lot of fun looking at the antiques in teh hotel.

It has been a long time since I stayed in such a favorite hotel. I just regretted staying for only one night. The moment I entered Songtsen, all the fatigue and discomfort during the journey were swept away. The hardware and software are good. There is an oxygen concentrator in the room and the scenery is pleasant. There is a lake in the hotel, and there are various activities to experience. There is also an Arc'teryx. The hotel's own boutique is also good. There are various souvenirs suitable for giving, as well as yak wool scarves, clothing, etc., which are all very exquisite. Breakfast and dinner are solved in the hotel, and the taste and price are good. Songtsen is really the biggest surprise of this trip to Tibet.
