Who would understand!!! Taking my parents to stay at Songtsam Hotel in Nyingchi was totally worth it! My parents went crazy saying "So good!" and laughed at themselves🤣
Before departure:
👨👩: "Why spend so much money on a hotel! Just stay anywhere!"
After check-in:
👩🦰: "This isn’t a hotel! This must be where immortals live!" (Taking tons of photos)
Sleeping in naturally every day🌞 Opening the window to snow-capped mountains and forests! If lucky, you can even see the golden sunlight on the peaks🌈 This feeling is just so chill~
