Yunnan Deep Tour | Discovered a Hidden Gem Hotel Next to Gaozhuang Night Market

During my deep tour of Yunnan, I discovered an amazing resort hotel—Xishuangbanna Jinghong Hepuliyue Resort Hotel—right next to the Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market in Xishuangbanna. It served as a warm haven during my journey, greatly enhancing my deep travel experience. The hotel's location is truly exceptional. It's only about a 5-minute walk to the Starlight Night Market. When night falls, a stroll to the market immerses you in the rich Dai culture with its dazzling lights, lively atmosphere, and impressive array of goods and delicious food. During the day, nearby attractions are conveniently accessible from the hotel. Whether you're visiting the mysterious Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden or the historic Manting Park, they're both just about a 30-minute drive away, perfect for a deep exploration itinerary. Upon entering the hotel, I was captivated by its unique Thai-Dai style design. The courtyard is surrounded by greenery, with various unnamed tropical flowers in full bloom, and the gentle sound of flowing water resembling a soothing melody. The exterior architecture blends elements from Dai and Thai building traditions, with exquisite carvings and vibrant decorations that transport you to mysterious Southeast Asia. The front desk staff, dressed in ethnic costumes, greeted me with warm smiles and thoughtfully offered iced juice and towels during check-in, instantly relieving my travel fatigue. I stayed in a Deluxe king room, which was spacious and decorated with both warmth and elegance. Opening the window revealed the beautiful courtyard view, with sunlight filtering through the curtains creating a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring quality sleep every night. The room was well-equipped with a smart toilet, large LCD TV, and a mini-bar with complimentary drinks and snacks. My favorite feature was the large balcony where I could sit in the evening breeze, enjoying snacks purchased from the night market while experiencing Xishuangbanna's leisurely pace. The hotel breakfast was also a pleasant surprise. It offered a wide variety of options, including local specialties like Dai rice noodles and pineapple rice, as well as Western choices such as bread, milk, and fried eggs. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, especially the Dai rice noodles with their rich broth and abundant toppings—one taste and I fell in love with Yunnan flavors. The restaurant environment was comfortable, spacious, and bright, with soft ethnic music playing in the background, creating an excellent dining experience. The hotel's recreational facilities are also outstanding. There's an outdoor swimming pool with crystal-clear water surrounded by palm trees, making you feel like you're on a tropical island when swimming in the sunshine. There's also a comfortable book bar and tea room where you can read books and drink tea during your leisure time, enjoying rare moments of tranquility. The hotel provides free airport pickup and tourism consulting services. The staff will recommend suitable deep tour routes and attractions based on your needs, making your journey smoother and more exciting. My stay at the Xishuangbanna Jinghong Hepuliyue Resort Hotel gave me a profound experience of Yunnan's warmth and beauty. It not only has an excellent location, comfortable environment, and attentive service, but also provided me with a cozy place to relax and experience local culture during my deep tour.
