Guest UserI had an absolutely wonderful stay at Baibale and would recommend it without hesitation to anyone visiting the Lancang area.
The facilities were excellent—everything was clean, comfortable, modern, and thoughtfully maintained. After long days of cycling, it was the perfect place to rest and recover. One detail I especially appreciated was the generous standard checkout time of 2:00 PM, which made departure much more relaxed than at most hotels.
The included breakfast and lunch were both fantastic. The food was fresh, delicious, and gave me a great opportunity to enjoy local flavors without having to rush out to find a meal.
What truly sets Baibale apart, however, is the staff. I was bikepacking across China and later flying onward, and they went far above and beyond to help me throughout my stay. Whether it was assisting with logistics, answering questions, or simply taking the time to make sure everything was going smoothly, they consistently showed genuine kindness and hospitality.
One of my favorite parts of my stay was spending time talking with the staff about the different local teas. They were incredibly knowledgeable and happy to share their passion, making the experience feel much more personal than just staying at a hotel. Those conversations, along with all of their other thoughtful help, made my time in Lancang especially memorable.
If you’re staying in the Lancang area, Baibale is a place you shouldn’t miss. Between the excellent facilities, great food, generous checkout time, and some of the warmest, most attentive hospitality I’ve experienced anywhere, it was easily one of the highlights of my trip across China.

AstrxdThe environment was very comfortable and relaxing. Beautiful view whwre you can see some of the sea of clouds. They give you disposable coverings for you to put on top of the fresh pillow bedding and mattress for extra hygiene which is a nice touch I haven't seen before. Bathroom is very clean, though there are only two toilets and two showers and two sinks, so do note that for busy season, but it wasn't an issue at all during my stay. They provided breakfast too, fresh milk the boss heated for me when I got up, and red sugar glutinous rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves (babas), and it was fun to get ready for the day with new friends on the balcony overlooking the village. I think the environment is very good for meeting new friends and other solo travelers- I arrived at the hostel randomly at the same time as three other girls, and we explored Manghong togetjer on the boss's recommendations for itinerary and sightseeing. And the next day the boss dropped us off at a tea roasting experience, and just as we were heading to Nuogan another girl from the hostel finished her tea roasting session, so we all went to Nuogan togetjer to play. The boss even helped load my luggage onto the shuttle bus so that it could pick me up at a sightseeing spot further down the mountain!

Guest UserThe rooftop garden at Shanhao Garden Hotel in Ning'er is absolutely stunning! The design is breathtaking, the rooms are spacious and airy, and the smart home features enhance the overall experience. Complimentary coffee and tea are available, and you can swim directly in the heated pool. The receptionist is incredibly friendly and helpful, even assisting with your luggage and recommending fun places to visit nearby. She's also very pretty. The location is convenient, making it a must-stay in Ning'er!

The hotel is located right in the center of the village.
Pros: the room was spacious, with large beds and plenty of space in the bathroom. All essential amenities were provided. There was air conditioning, which was a big plus given the heat. The reception staff were very helpful — they helped us organize a transfer for only 400 yuan.
Cons: the view from the room was not great, which is a pity. However, the balcony was very cozy and had a tea table with everything needed for a tea ceremony. It’s just unfortunate that the tea produced at the hotel itself was not provided in the room. It’s also important to know Chinese or have a good translator. Otherwise, no major downsides.

Guest UserI was extremely satisfied with my stay at this hotel. The facilities are very new, clean, hygienic, and quiet. The service attitude was excellent, and they even offered late-night snacks. There was also complimentary tea available for tasting. The hotel has a swimming pool, and the laundry room on the rooftop terrace was very comfortable. There's also a gym for workouts. Overall, a very satisfying stay. The breakfast was rich and featured local specialties, plenty of fruit, and a wide variety of options. I was very pleased.

Oh my goodness I have never stayed in a place like this! We live in a noisy city and come here felt like being in heaven. So peaceful and quiet. Our kids loved trying to catch fireflies in the night. We took a walk quite a distance from our cabin towards the hills and came back whrn it was pretty dark. We were able to see the milky way galaxy across the sky and so many stars that the only other place we ever saw tjat many stars was back in my country in the village with no light pollution.
Words cannot describe the tranquility of this placed the magnificence of nature and the peace and quite. The nights are so dark and quiet, felt like being somewhere in wild savanna. I heard some sounds of animals I had never heard before.
We will seriously make this place our frequent holiday detination for peace and quiet, nature and mental healing.
There were quite a number of activities for the kids but our kids were too young to participate. We were just quite happy going for walks and watching the stars at night. The grass looked so inviting and we wanted to roll down the hills hahaha but it was all fenced, which makes sense for safety. We heard there was a heard of elephants nearby.
We also loved in when it rained, the sound of raindrops on the leaves outside and on our leaves.
It’s definitely a place for poets and writers, artists and creative people. I was truly inspired and I mostly sat outside when the babies were napping, and read my Lord of the rings book that I took with me, as that place reminded me of hobbit-land and magic.
Coffee lovers must go, we had as many cups of coffee as we liked.
They also offered us hotpot for dinner and lunch.

Posted onJul 25, 2026|Smart King Bed Room (bathtub+oxygen Bar+call Xiaodu If You Need Anything)
Guest UserThe room was spacious, and the shower was incredibly comfortable. Both breakfast and the late-night snack were delicious. They even offer free popsicles – I highly recommend the white soup glutinous rice one, it's so good! They provide disposable towels and regular towels, and the amenity kit was a huge plus. It included standard white cotton swabs, black ear-pick shaped cotton swabs, and surprisingly, even mouthwash and disposable wet wipes. I was very satisfied with this hotel during my trip to Puer.

Posted onOct 5, 2026|Forest Detached Panoramic View Villa (Deluxe Suite)
Guest UserStaying at the Little Panda Hotel truly feels like being in a forest. We booked a family suite, and the room was incredibly spacious with an unobstructed view of the quiet forest ahead. It also had a huge bathtub and a sofa area, which made us very happy. Even though the price was high during the National Day holiday, it was still worth it.
Furthermore, among all the forest hotels I've stayed in, this one had the best hygiene – definitely a thumbs up! 👍
The hotel's children's activity center is large, and there are also areas for adults to drink tea, roast tea, and simply relax. The hotel offered two complimentary experiences, and the kids had a blast, allowing the adults to get some good rest too.
On the downside, service could be improved, especially during peak season. It would be better if various experience activities adopted an advance reservation system to manage crowds. The hotel was fully booked during our stay, and all the activities were packed with people. We originally wanted to join the night insect watching tour, but we had to give up because of the large crowd.

XiangyunshibaliI accidentally followed the celebrity Yu Qiuyu to stay at the Yuanyuan Inn. It has a cultural atmosphere and a convenient transportation. The boss and his wife are very good. They help you guide Jingmai Mountain and easily play and punch in. It is worth it.

All the reviews are true, but it’s not the wooden building that causes it.
Yes, it is very loud and you hear everyone. We’ve stayed in other fully wooden places, it’s worse here. Maybe not the wood but the guests are the problem. Loud Chinese people, walking the stairs with the heaviest pace you can imagine. Maybe help the other guests by hanging some warnings on the stairs: please be mindful for the other guests when walking to your room.
Also loud Chinese tourist on the square below. Not only while eating they scream all over the place, also with the tea ceremony nobody asks them to please stop talking after 23:00/24:00. We were up till 02:00AM because of tea drinking Chinese people at the fire. We stayed in the suite, which is located above the fire pit. Maybe the other rooms are less noisy. At 7AM each morning, somebody ran down the stairs. We think it’s the staff. It wakes you up through your earplugs.
The staff is OK. They are very shy, not rude. They could be more pro active though as we didn’t feel like they wanted to do something.. which is different to rude but also not very friendly.
The other villages around are way bigger and less cozy than Wengji. Also, with this guesthouse being just next to the town, it was perfect to escape the tourists most of the time. We didn’t find other accommodations in Wengji with the same aesthetics as Shishi guesthouse so we can’t recommend other places better than this.
Maybe if the guesthouse would invest in trying to keep the noise down under the various guests, with text signs or with clearer house rules (fire pit), the noise problem wouldn’t be as bad.
Maybe if they tried to enthusiast their staff more and keep them from watching Chinese drama shows on their phones all day, they would be a bit more welcoming.
We’ve met a lot of amazing people in Wengji, it’s definitely not the locals that have this behaviour.
Lastly, the suite has a cubicle bathroom in the room, they really don’t clean this well. It smells very bad and just feels dirty all over.
For comfort this place is too expensive, for the location and aesthetics you won’t find better options nearby.
