Look up to see the Gongga Snow Mountain! This homestay is all about beautiful views! The towering Gongga Snow Mountain stands like a dignified and elegant giant, proudly standing between heaven and earth. The mountain top is covered with white snow, like a pure white crown, shining brightly; the mountain waist is uneven, like unfolded wings, gently brushing the clouds. Sometimes it is surrounded by white clouds, like a fairy dancer in a wonderland; sometimes it is illuminated by the glow of dawn, like a beautiful lady in the morning light. The hotel is located on a hillside with a nearly hundred-meter drop from the village. It is surrounded by vast rural valleys, and you can also see the streams flowing through them and the distant snow mountains. Here, herds of cattle and sheep roam, and colorful wildflowers bloom, as if it's a natural painting that only appears in dreams. The hotel consists of three ancient stone buildings of the Kangba style, one of which has a history of nearly a thousand years. Every brick and tile is a sediment of history. The buildings are arranged in a scattered and orderly manner, and they also have an awesome angle for viewing the Gongga Snow Mountain, just like a cultural castle with ethnic characteristics. Every guest room in the hotel has a super magnificent and beautiful view of the snow mountain outside the window. The walls are painted in bright yellow, symbolizing wealth, power, and auspiciousness in Tibetan tradition. It also implies the hotel's emphasis on the guest experience. The ceiling and door frames and other details are added with wooden structures, retaining a rustic and original feel, allowing guests to feel connected to nature even inside the room. The rooms are equipped with oxygen generators, humidifiers, heaters, and dryers to ensure a comfortable stay on the plateau. The food here is also super delicious! Professional Tibetan chefs use seasonal local ingredients to cook special delicacies. For breakfast, there is butter tea, Tibetan milk tea, and a super awesome yak meat hotpot!
