Staying at Life Homestay in Shangri-La! I cried seeing the Golden Roof of the Big Buddha Temple in the snow

Who understands! Encountering snowfall in Dukezong Ancient Town, I pushed open the door of "Puyun Xuanshan" and directly stepped into Shangri-La from "Lost Horizon"! After staying for 3 days, I didn’t want to check out at all, even the details touched my heart deeply～

• 2-minute walk to the Big Buddha Temple! The guest room’s floor-to-ceiling window directly faces the turning prayer wheels; watching the golden roof reflect in the snow is breathtakingly beautiful

• 5 minutes to Sifang Street, right next to the popular "Snow Mountain Kitchen" and "Pugu Warehouse," where you can eat cured ribs and stewed chicken while enjoying the snow-capped mountains

• Right at the door is the Tea Horse Road Museum; strolling to Grandma’s stall for butter tea is super convenient!

• The moment you enter, there’s a sense of ceremony! Courtyard-style layout + wooden elements, warm fireplace with fabric soft furnishings, as comfortable as being at a friend’s home

• Public area art pieces + distinctive murals, coffee shop and library are perfect for photos, even the hallway frames the ancient town scenery

• On snowy days, open the curtains: snowfall + Big Buddha Temple’s golden roof + prayer wheels, my friends on social media kept asking if I was abroad!

• The "Tongqiu" room I booked is amazing! Large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Big Buddha Temple, waking up to see snow falling on the golden roof is simply divine

• Essential comforts maxed out: whole-house oxygen supply + constant temperature floor heating! As someone sensitive to altitude sickness, I slept without any discomfort, warm even in light clothes

• Detail lovers will adore: L’Occitane toiletries + separate bathroom + bathtub, the bed is so soft it feels like sinking into clouds, happiness overload～

• Breakfast rice noodles made fresh—I even showed off eating two bowls! The broth is so rich it’s mind-blowing, ingredients so fresh they’re dripping with juice

• Free Tibetan-style afternoon tea is a must! Barley with yogurt + dairy products + dried meat, sitting in the heated hall eating, with warm sunshine and prayer flags sounds is perfect

• Rooftop reservation-only restaurant overlooks the ancient town! Eat while watching the distant golden roof, the evening atmosphere wrapped in smoke and wind is super romantic

• Check-in includes direct Maybach business car transfer! Carrying luggage to the ancient town, the butler even drives a shuttle to pick you up, super worry-free

• The owner couple is super friendly! Not only do they draw a "local living map," but they also share must-try Tibetan eateries, details are spot on

• Welcome fruit on arrival, quick responses to any questions, more comfortable than staying at home～
