【The Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic Under Meili Snow Mountain | Jixia Mountain · Meili Hotel】

💫 At 3,600 meters above sea level in Wunongding Village, there is a magical hotel where you can admire the Meili Thirteen Peaks in 360°—Jixia Mountain · Meili! This is the closest window to heaven and the dream viewing spot for countless people to see the golden sunlight on the mountain.

🏔️ The hotel was designed by architect Zhao Yang, a disciple of Kazuyo Sejima, perfectly blending Tibetan rammed earth architecture with wabi-sabi aesthetics. Gold leaf domes, earth-tone colors, and natural wood furniture—every detail exudes ethereality and tranquility. The room windows are natural picture frames; open the window to see snowy peaks, and enjoy the mountain view even from the bathtub!

🌟 Must-experience: ▫️ Rooftop 360° viewing platform: free ginger tea + phone stand, unlocking the best angle to see the golden sunlight on the mountain ▫️ Tibetan cultural experience: hike the alpine flowing stone beach, visit herders’ homes, stargaze at night ▫️ Warm services: goodnight sweet soup, high-altitude emergency supplies, thoughtful butler group pre-arranged

🍴 Food exceeds expectations! Yak hotpot warms and heals, breakfast rice noodles are incredibly fresh, and afternoon tea with snow mountain views maximizes happiness.
