Guest UserThe most stunning encounter of this Menghai tea tour was undoubtedly the Nanben Mountain Retreat Homestay, nestled in Nanben Old Village, Mengsong Township. Nestled amidst the sea of clouds and tea mountains of Nanben Old Village in Menghai, Xishuangbanna, the white-walled, glass-walled building blends seamlessly with the ancient tea gardens and the Lahu ethnic village, offering views of tea plantations and clouds – a truly poetic retreat. Approximately an hour's drive from Jinghong city, the road conditions are excellent. Advance booking of four rooms includes one free round-trip shuttle service, and there is also dedicated parking available for those driving. Despite its secluded location in the mountains, it is easily accessible.
The rooms blend Lahu elements with modern minimalist aesthetics. Wooden furniture paired with cotton and linen fabrics exudes a natural and rustic warmth. The spacious 40+ square meter rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the morning mist and sunset over the tea mountains, creating a flowing panorama. Lying in bed, one can immerse oneself in the ecological beauty of ”tea in the forest, forest in tea.” The apartment boasts intelligent voice control, a fully equipped bathroom with separate wet and dry areas, thoughtful details like branded toiletries and aromatherapy-infused wardrobes, soft and skin-friendly bedding, and impeccable cleanliness throughout, ensuring an exceptional living experience.
The most captivating aspect is the immersive tea-themed travel experience. In the complimentary tea space, the host brews refreshing and mellow Mengsong ancient tree tea, its aroma blending with the scents of herbs and plants to create a rustic, mountain-like ambiance. In the morning, hike through the ancient tea gardens with tea farmers, breathing in the negative ions, picking fresh leaves by hand, and experiencing the traditional tea-making process of withering, rolling, and drying – a truly rewarding experience (seasonal only). In the evening, relax under the outdoor canopy, enjoy a hearty meal of Lahu-style roasted meat over a fireplace, savoring fresh ingredients and authentic flavors – a truly therapeutic experience for both the palate and the soul.
The warm hospitality adds to the overall experience. Before check-in, the host sent a detailed guide covering sightseeing routes, optimal times for viewing the sea of clouds, and sunset times. The third-floor terrace is a perfect spot for watching the sea of clouds and stargazing. Fall asleep to the sounds of insects and the aroma of tea at night, and wake up to birdsong in the morning – truly a blissful experience.
This place serves as a link between the natural beauty of the tea mountains and the local ethnic culture. Menghai Nanben Mountain Retreat, with its stunning scenery, unique experiences, and heartwarming service, perfectly embodies the aesthetics of a tea-tourism fusion resort. It's undoubtedly the best choice for a trip to Menghai, and I'll definitely return for this mountain retreat next time.

Finding a place to stay in Menghai, Xinwo Homestay surprised me far beyond my expectations! It's more than just a place to stay; it feels like a warm ”home away from home.”
The homestay boasts a cozy and comfortable environment, brimming with the local charm of ethnic minorities. Activities like mushroom picking, nighttime excursions, and lure fishing showcase the owner's thoughtful touches. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and warmly decorated. Surrounded by pristine forests, waking up to the homestay's chickens in the morning was simply wonderful. The most unforgettable aspect was the owner's hospitality. He was like a friend, enthusiastically introducing local customs and activities, and sharing fragrant Pu'er tea. His sincerity was incredibly heartwarming. The common areas are stylishly designed, perfect for relaxing, enjoying tea, and chatting. At night, stargazing on the rooftop while listening to the chirping of insects completely melted away all my fatigue.
While located a 1.5-hour drive from Jinghong city center, Xinwo Homestay is a bit far from the city center. If you also yearn for the tranquility and aroma of tea in Menghai and crave a warm and welcoming travel experience, Xinwo Homestay is definitely the perfect choice! Highly recommended for every traveler seeking nature and warmth; it deserves five stars! I will definitely come again!

In December, two rooms were set in advance. I arrived at around 2:40 in the afternoon. There was no prompt sign at all. Later, the waiter came out to pick us up, otherwise I couldn't find it at all.
When I arrived upstairs, I was told that the room was not cleaned up. We said that we could wait. As soon as we entered the room that had not been cleaned, we smelled a smell. The waiter said that the previous guests brought cats and dogs so it was very stinky, but the smell was really unbearable. Later, the waiter went to get the disinfectant to mop the floor, and then the smell was mixed with the disinfectant, and the taste was even more indescribable.
We asked for a room change, because the other room was normal, and the hygiene was not done. The administrator said that all rooms were booked and could not be exchanged. Request a normal accommodation room, this request is too much? We are paying for a normal reservation, not free accommodation.
Later, after the contact number of the homestay on Ctrip, I agreed to give the exchange. That is to say, the room is there, the feeling is particularly bad, and the people will emphasize that there are many people during the Spring Festival. This is not a reason for giving guests a smelly room!

The family came to Nanxun Mountain for the New Year, and chose Guanyun Mansion after comparison. Very cost-effective! First, the location of the homestay is high, the view is very good, the big floor-to-ceiling windows, lying in bed in the morning to watch the sunrise, very pleasant; second, the homestay is newly built, the facilities are new and clean; third, the boss is hospitable, invite us to have a barbecue on New Year's Eve, the bonfire party dances and sings, and the ceremony is full. Enjoyable travel experience!

Staying with friends, the experience is great! Raising your eyes is a continuous distant mountain, with a blue-top building, and blue sky and white clouds, with a wide view, and the whole person is relaxed and happy. The kitchen space of the homestay is spacious, very suitable for cooking with your own ingredients. Everyone cooperates in division of labor. Girls catch ducks and ducks, boys wash dishes and choose dishes. In the evening, I had a beautiful homemade meal ~ The next day, the hotel also arranged a scenic sightseeing car for free, and took us to visit the Dushuchenglin Scenic Area (excluding tour guides). In the park, you can punch in the Shwedagon Pagoda of China-Myanmar Friendship, the site of the Anti-Japanese War of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, and step on the two countries and the China-Myanmar No. 220 boundary monument (others can guide **Xiaohongshu). One-stop experience of eating, lodging and playing, worry-free and fun, I really recommend it to everyone, come here to play first choice ~

Guest UserIt is still quite a long way from Menghai to Zhanglang Ancient Village. The proprietress specially drove to pick us up and also saw us off when leaving, which was very considerate.
After checking in, we received one-stop service for food, drink, and entertainment, which felt very good.
Eat: Breakfast is wood-fired hanging pot bean porridge, which is very delicious. I drank three large bowls around the stove and was satisfied. Lunch is mushrooms picked in the mountains. The bright red mushrooms are like elves in the mountains, so beautiful and spiritual. Simple mountain spring water stews into a mushroom soup with a strong aroma of fungus. Dinner is wild vegetables and pumpkin sprouts picked randomly by the roadside, which are also very delicious when stir-fried. By pounding bitter eggplant, pounding river bamboo shoots, and pounding tomatoes, you can taste the unique flavor of the mountains. I also ate their own wild honey, which was sweet to my heart.
Drink: The landlady brought out various kinds of ancient tree tea and Pu'er tea for us to taste. With the sound of rain outside the tearoom and the faint fragrance of tea in the tearoom, we chatted about home affairs in an understated way. I felt that although the landlady is young, she has a sense of self-reliance. The sense of self-reliance and strength brings respect.
Wan: Even though the lady boss is young, she got on her motorcycle and took the two of us on the muddy road in the mountains. She was very cool and comfortable. We were taken up the mountain to pick mushrooms, tea in the ecological tea garden, and ancient tea trees in the primeval forest. We also encountered wild Ganoderma lucidum on the way.
Le: The Baixiang Temple in Zhanglang Ancient Village is particularly beautiful, and the thousand-year-old trees are particularly divine. I like the air, spring water, wild vegetables, ancient temples, sacred trees, and the simple and enthusiastic landlady here.
Accommodation: A quaint wooden house. When you open the window, you can see the unique scenery in the mountains in different weather conditions. The mountains shrouded in clouds and mist after the rain, the sunset glow over the mountains and plains after the sky clears, the lush forests, and the clear air.
Zhang Lang, your beauty, your purity, your tranquility remain in my memory. Thank you for meeting me!

I have lived in so many hotels, this one really makes people feel at home. As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by the tea cultural elements in the atmospheric lobby. The staff took the initiative to receive guidance, check-in was efficient, and the service was warm and thoughtful. The rooms are warmly furnished, the facilities are all available, the beds are moderately soft and hard, the bathroom layout is simple and clean, the bath water is large, and the fatigue of the whole day is relaxed. The well-known chain brand mattresses used by the hotel are really good, and I sleep until dawn. There is a food street nearby, especially the local specialty snacks nearby, which tastes very special. The price is super high, completely exceeding expectations, and I will choose here for future travel!
