Balagezong Ice Spring Wellness Resort!
đ¨ă180° Ice Spring Terrace Suite Experienceă
The moment you open the door, you'll hold your breath! The 270° floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Gezong Snow Mountain like a painting, with clouds drifting at your feet and golden monkeys leaping through the treetops in the distance (saw it with my own eyes!). The underfloor heating keeps the room at 25°Câsnuggle under a Tibetan blanket while watching the sunset over the snow-capped mountains. Even the bathroom has direct ice spring waterâyour skin will glow after a shower!
đ´ăResort Food Guideă
Must-try for breakfast: Tibetan nine-grid platter + ice spring rice noodles, with butter tea and freshly baked barley breadâheavenly! For lunch, donât miss the Nixi clay pot chicken, stewed with free-range chicken and matsutake mushroomsâso flavorful youâll want three bowls! For dinner, try the mini hotpot, dipped in chili flakes and paired with ice spring beer.
đĄăLocalâs Secret Tipsă
1. The resort includes free tickets to the Balagezong Scenic Areaâremember to collect them at the visitor center before rafting.
2. Visit from June to August for peak water seasonârafting is more thrilling, and youâll see alpine rhododendrons lining the canyon.
3. Wear quick-dry clothes + waterproof shoes for rafting.
This is truly the ultimate escape from the city! Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, ice springs, and forests every day, even the air feels pure. If you want to immerse yourself in this fairy-tale paradise, save this guideâyouâll be the next one healed here!
