The Symbiosis of Local Culture and Modern Design
Transformed from a century-old granary, it retains rammed earth walls and wooden beam structures, combined with large glass curtain walls and minimalist lines, forming a visual dialogue between tradition and modernity. A large number of local red sandstone, pine wood, and handmade pottery are used. The rooms feature Bai ethnic tie-dye fabrics and caravan bronzeware, reflecting the "new mountain dwelling aesthetics." The hotel emphasizes the interaction between "space blank" and natural light and shadow.
Check-in Privacy and Natural Immersion
The hotel is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Local Yunnan plants are planted in the courtyard. You can hear birds and streams in the morning and see the Milky Way at night. There are a total of 20 rooms? I didn’t ask specifically. Some room types are equipped with infinity pools or hot spring pools.
Comprehensive Sensory Taste Experience
Dining Highlights: Mountain Residence Restaurant specializes in creative Yunnan mountain delicacies, with signature dishes such as black truffle stewed native chicken and rose milk fan ice cream. Each dish is very flavorful, the local ingredients are fresh, and the taste is very authentic. The prices are affordable, much better than those popular restaurants in the ancient town, especially Xibao Shangfan, which must be avoided.
Location and Transportation Advantages
Geographic Coordinates: Located on the northeast side of Shaxi Ancient Town, a 5-minute drive to the core area of the ancient town, avoiding the hustle and bustle of people.
Convenient Transportation: Provides free shuttle bus to the ancient town, or arranges horse-drawn carriage tours (reservation required).
Surrounding Linkage: Rice field cafes and Vanguard Bookstore are within walking distance, and Shibaoshan Scenic Area is a 10-minute drive away.
Other tips:
Some room types require climbing stairs. It is recommended that people with mobility problems choose lower floors. Some room types do not have as good privacy because they are next to the aisle.
Summary: JIXIA MOUNTAIN SAKURA SHANGRI-LA redefines ancient town hotels through "localized design + immersive experience", and is suitable for in-depth travelers who pursue spiritual resonance and aesthetic healing. Its value lies not only in accommodation, but also in building a deep dialogue scene with nature and culture.
