Xishuangbanna Gaozhuang personally tested! Oasis resort hotel a 5-minute walk to the night market

Just finished my Xishuangbanna trip and I have to recommend this treasure hotel that is full of tropical relaxation—Xishuangbanna Jinghong Hepu Li Yue Resort Hotel (Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market Branch)! As a travel expert who has visited Gaozhuang many times, I was really attracted by its "precise experience" this time. From the location to the service, it can be called "zero pitfalls" ✨ 🌟 Location: A "lazy person's paradise" within walking distance of the night market The best thing about staying in Gaozhuang is the convenience of "going downstairs to the carnival"! It is tested that it takes 350 meters (about 5 minutes) to walk from the side door of the hotel directly to Exit 3 of the Starlight Night Market. Every night at 7 o'clock, you can stroll into the night market just in time for the opening of the Dai Di. You can stroll around under the neon lights to eat Dai-flavored barbecue and buy handmade Dai paper lanterns. It is so healing to not have to rush to catch a car. In the early morning, you can also stagger the peak period and walk 8 minutes to the Great Golden Pagoda Temple. When the sun penetrates the eaves of the pagoda, take a group of "Dai costumes under the golden dome" without anyone in the picture. The original picture has its own cinematic filter 📸 Transportation is also very friendly to lazy people: free airport pick-up (reservation required 12 hours in advance), 20 minutes by taxi from the airport; free parking for self-driving, but it is more recommended to take the sightseeing bus cooperated by the hotel, which shuttles through the core area of Gaozhuang in 5 minutes, completely saying goodbye to traffic jams 🚗 🌵 Design: Soak in the Moroccan oasis and watch the stars As soon as you enter the hotel, you will be captured by the "desert oasis" themed courtyard! The 2-meter-high Euphorbia cactus, white beach chairs, cobalt blue swimming pool and earth-yellow rammed earth walls are intertwined. Take a picture on the hammock by the swimming pool, and it will be a popular "pretending to be in Tunisia" blockbuster in your Moments. Highly recommend **"Half Sugar · Plunge Pool Terrace Room"**! The 40㎡ space has an independent outdoor plunge pool. The butler will put 38℃ warm water and sprinkle rose petals half an hour in advance. When you soak in the pool at night, you can see the stars and the faint light of the Great Golden Pagoda in the distance. With the open-air movie every night in the swimming pool area, the atmosphere is directly full 🌌 The details of the public area are amazing: the garden restaurant on the first floor provides free Pu'er tea tasting from 14:00-16:00 every day, and the rooftop on the third floor has a "sunset observation point" where you can overlook the Lancang River. The shallow water area of the swimming pool also has a children's water slide, so families with children can easily play all day long~ 💁‍♀️ Service details: "Dai-style care" that is more considerate than a girlfriend When checking in, the butler handed over iced tamarind juice and disinfecting wipes, and also gave a hand-painted "Gaozhuang Hidden Play Map", which marked the barbecue stalls, rainforest hiking starting points and even the reflector positions for taking pictures that are privately hidden by the locals 📒 The 24-hour front desk response speed is amazing: one night, I called because of the noise of the air conditioner, and within 10 minutes, I was assisted to change to a courtyard room with better sound insulation; the next day, I also received lemon honey water made by the butler himself. This kind of "proactive prediction of needs" service is really heartwarming~ Breakfast is served in the garden restaurant. You must try the freshly cooked Yunnan local chicken rice noodles. The soup is rich and paired with tamarind juice and unlimited tropical fruits (pineapple/mango/papaya are super sweet). Families with children can borrow children's bathrobes and swimming rings for free. There are also free power banks by the swimming pool, so parents can lie down and watch their children play in the water 👨👩👧 🍽️ Surrounding Raiders: "Eat, drink and have fun red and black list" led by locals ✔️ Laos Ice Coffee Stall (180 meters walk): The alley on the left side of the night market entrance, 2 yuan/bag of bagged coffee with condensed milk, ice-cold and thirst-quenching, must be stocked every day! ✔️ Manxiang Guangmu Dai Flavor Barbecue (5 minutes by taxi): A 20-year-old shop, the grilled three-line meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the tofu with dipping sauce is amazing, the tamarind juice is served by the bucket, and the per capita is 45 yuan to eat until you are full 🍢 ❌ Avoid pitfalls reminder: Reject the "199 yuan all-inclusive" travel photography on the roadside of the night market! Choose a certified photographer who cooperates with the hotel (you can check the customer photos on Trip.com). The 299 yuan package includes 3 sets of clothing + makeup + 5 retouched photos, without hidden consumption and more photogenic; it is recommended to go to the Manhe Naha wholesale market 3 kilometers away to buy fruits. The price of mangosteen is 40% lower than that of the night market. Remember to scan the code to check the official average price~ 💰 Price reference: Cost-effective for both students and petty bourgeois The basic room type is 500-700 yuan/night on weekdays (including double breakfast + airport pick-up). It is recommended to add 120 yuan to upgrade to the plunge pool room, and the experience will be doubled! Trip.com has a "3-night stay + travel photography package" for 1099 yuan, including daily afternoon tea (Laos ice coffee + mango sticky rice) and 1 hour of swimming pool photography, which is equivalent to 366 yuan per night. Students can easily team up or couples can travel~ It is recommended to book 2 weeks in advance during the peak season (November-February). The price may increase by 100-200 yuan on weekdays and weekends. It is more cost-effective to check in from Monday to Thursday~ ✨ Summary: Who should lock this hotel into their itinerary? ✔️ Efficiency-oriented players who pursue "a 5-minute walk to the night market" ✔️ "Appearance party" and "dressing bloggers" who love to take atmospheric photos ✔️ Families who need "worry-free service" when traveling with children ✔️ "Exquisite travelers" who pay attention to detail experience During the 3 days and 2 nights in Xishuangbanna this time, I explored Gaozhuang with the hotel as the center every day. When I was tired, I went back to the "oasis" to soak in the pool and watch movies. This kind of "immersive vacation" experience really healed the anxiety of urban people~ Next time I come, I also want to try the hotel's "ancient tea mountain tea picking + tea making experience". I look forward to unlocking more surprises in this tropical secret place~
