🏔️ Jixia Mountain · Meili — Wabi-Sabi Aesthetics in Dialogue with the Sacred Mountain  
"The Devout Gaze at the Foremost of the Eight Great Sacred Mountains in Tibet"  
▪️ Design Overload: Rammed earth Tibetan houses + wabi-sabi style, natural wood tones echoing the snow mountain, every window a natural picture frame.  
▪️ Must Experience:  
· Top-floor 360° panoramic terrace, lie down and watch the thirteen peaks of Meili bathed in golden sunlight (best time 7:30-8:15 AM).  
· Only 19 rooms, recommended "Muyun Room" facing the snow mountain, bathtub stargazing + free minibar.  
· Tibetan cultural details: wallpaper with Buddha elements, goodnight sweet soup, handmade nougat.  
▪️ Suitable for: photography enthusiasts, design lovers, those seeking secluded tranquility.  
📍 Address: Wunongding Village, Deqin, Yunnan (3-hour drive from Shangri-La)

🌄 Bodu · Meili — A Healing Sanctuary at the Foot of the Snow Mountain  
"Relaxed Vacation + Plateau Warmth Service"  
▪️ Atmosphere Maxed Out:  
· Direct view of the snow mountain range, rooms equipped with floor heating + scenic bathtubs, open the window to the snow mountain.  
· Thoughtful plateau services: free glucose for altitude sickness, nighttime oxygen supply + Tibetan medicine foot soak bucket.  
▪️ Must Experience:  
· Wait quietly for the golden sunlight on the mountain from your room in the early morning, no need to endure the cold outdoor wind.  
· Tibetan hotpot afternoon tea + stove-side movie nights, winter happiness overload.  
▪️ Suitable for: families with children, lazy vacationers, those who value detailed service.

📌 Buying Guide  
· Choose Jixia Mountain: obsessed with architectural design, want exclusive photography spots, can accept simple dining.  
· Choose Bodu: want complete facilities + plateau care, traveling with elders/kids, prefer one-stop vacation.  
· Common point: book 1-2 months in advance! Autumn and winter are prone to altitude sickness, prepare oxygen bottles~
