Yuanyang twelve manors Xiangdian hotel is located in Yuanyang Terrace Scenic Spot, Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It has earthy yellow walls and thatched huts, which are integrated into the village of Hani village. Xiangdian is just located in the middle of Qingkou to bada. It is the preferred route for walking terraces. Passing by Xiangdian, metropolis will stop, have a cup of coffee, have a snack, have an iced beer, and chat with foreigners who come to China to explore their secrets.The vision of the incense classic is full of Hani elements, and the folk flavor is strong and attractive. Each room is equipped with floor glass windows facing the terraces. Large terraces are framed in the glass, which is the most natural picture of the circulation of the four seasons in the room. Occasionally, swallows fly low in front of the window, and the whole picture moves.Xiangdian features four seasons medicine bath (spring tea, summer flowers, autumn leaves and winter wine), Hani characteristic picnic, authentic bamboo tube roast chicken, and a long street banquet of more than 20 meters when it comes to festivals. Hani villagers fill the yard and speak incomprehensible Hani Language, which does not prevent us from having fun together.On a winter night when you don't want to sleep, sit around the fire pond, eat some baked tofu, roast Ciba, drink some wine, eat baked "potato", clap the hand drum, the fire shines on everyone's face, talk about the past, talk about the future, tell stories, talk about you and me, and the sleepless night is so short.
"The terraced fields outside the window, with mist swirling through the valleys, were a stunning sight. With the floor heating on, I could just recline on the sofa and truly relax. If only I had more vacation days, I'd happily stay for ten days or even half a month.
One honest detail I appreciated was that the branded tissues in the room were brand new and sealed. The bath products were from AFU, and they were both effective and smelled great; I'm planning to buy some for myself.
The room seemed to have been renovated some time ago; the shower head in our room was loose and couldn't be hung securely. There's a pool/hot tub in the courtyard, but it wasn't open, probably due to the cold weather.
I really enjoyed both the Chinese and Western breakfast options. However, I think authentic Yunnan locals might find the Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles a bit bland.
The front desk lady was not only beautiful but also gentle and polite. She contacted us in advance with important information and helped with our luggage pick-up and drop-off.
Who knew the May Day holiday would be so cold? The rice paddy fishing activity was canceled. But my child managed to catch a fish in the irrigation ditch and finally got to see a water buffalo plowing the field, which was a highlight of the trip. Oh, and I met 'Black Cat Detective' (a famous cartoon character) in the village, I definitely have to share a picture, haha!
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!"
