Yunnan locals, the wildly popular Shangri-La wild luxury hotel is finally ready for family check-ins! The Ten-Mile Snow Mountain Wild Luxury Hotel is absolutely amazing~ 🌿 After checking in, we realized we missed out big time! 🏡
✨Step outside the door to Napa Hai Yila Grassland and Shika Snow Mountain🏔. Standing in the yard, you can see cows, sheep, and alpacas strolling and grazing right by your feet~ When night falls, lying in bed you can gaze at a sky full of stars, as beautiful as a dream✨
🏠Fairy-tale wooden cabins are scattered across the lush meadows. The large floor-to-ceiling windows in the rooms act like natural picture frames, turning the snow mountain grassland into a seasonal oil painting. In summer, everything is green🌱. Lying in bed watching the scenery outside is so healing! Even my 6-year-old son couldn’t help but exclaim, "Being from Yunnan is so lucky!"
🐑🐕🐴 The kids’ favorite animal interaction time is here! Gentle horses and adorable alpacas graze right at the door, a few friendly dogs play on the lawn and come running with wagging tails when called~ The cutest part is a group of little lambs that aren’t shy at all, often coming in groups to "visit." The sight of the lead lamb followed by a bunch of "little brothers" running after the kids will make your child laugh all day!
🌌 The real highlight is the night! The starry sky on the plateau is especially brilliant. The whole family snuggles under blankets in the cozy cabin, watching the star-filled sky✨. This peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle is truly what life is all about~
☕️ The food here is also amazing: breakfast and afternoon tea are exquisitely prepared and delicious. Right in the yard is Shangri-La’s super popular black bean coffee shop. Drinking coffee facing the snow mountain is simply fantastic!
📍Address: No. 13, Xiàxué Group, Jiefang Village Committee, Jiantang Town, Shangri-La City (20 minutes by car to Dukezong Ancient Town)
📸 Nearby attractions recommended:
✅ Dukezong Ancient Town: stroll the stone paths, check in at Guishan Park, and work together as a family to spin the world’s largest prayer wheel
✅ Songzanlin Monastery: the "Little Potala Palace," magnificent and perfect for photos
✅ Napa Hai Yila Grassland: right in front of the hotel, drive around the lake to experience the picturesque wetland scenery
✅ Pudacuo National Park: hike the Shudu Lake boardwalk, with crystal-clear waters
🍴 Must-try foods:
✅ Tibetan Yak Meat Hotpot: certified by locals as the most authentic, the thick yak meat in the copper pot is so satisfying
✅ Yunnan Barbecue: no misses at Kong Panzi, Lao Jianshui, and Xiaopengyou—delicious beef and lamb skewers you can’t stop eating!
During our three days and two nights here, it felt like living in a fairy tale~ Step outside to see the snow mountain grassland🌄, befriend the animals, count stars at night✨—this is the life we long for~ Moms wanting to bring their kids, be sure to save this!
