Lesser-Known Plateau Experience Recommendations

Day 1️⃣ First Plateau Experience】
🛬 I was moved to tears by the hotel's thoughtful service as soon as I landed!
📍 Ten-Mile Snow Mountain Wild Luxury Hotel (Shangri-La Branch)
🚗 Address: No. 13, Xiàxué Group, Jiefang Village Committee, Jiantang Town
💝 The butler prepared oxygen tanks and a Tibetan khata welcome gift in advance, certified as a plateau lifesaver! 🥹

🛏️ The 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling window room is truly stunning!
Outside the window, a leisurely herd of yaks is grazing~
The room is equipped with floor heating, a humidifier, and an oxygen generator—plateau comfort maxed out!

In the afternoon, spend time petting alpacas 🦙
You must try the butter tea latte at the Black Bean Coffee House
A unique plateau flavor that amazed me from the first sip!

【Day 2️⃣ Grassland + Snow Mountain One-Day Tour】
🌿 Horseback riding on Yila Grassland | only 15 minutes from the hotel!
💰 280 RMB/person for an hour of unlimited riding (off-season price)
📸 The horsemen are great photographers; wearing bright clothes is a must!

🏔️ Light hiking on Shika Snow Mountain
🚡 Cable car directly to the 4500-meter viewing platform
Wildflowers cover the mountain in July and August—super romantic 💐
⚠️ Be sure to bring a windbreaker! The fierce wind at the summit can blow you away!

【Day 3️⃣ Tibetan Culture Day】
Sleep in and enjoy a Tibetan breakfast
Barley cakes with yak yogurt are incredibly delicious! 😋

📸 The hotel offers free Tibetan costume photo shoots
Stroll through the grassland and encounter a flock of sheep
Instantly transported to a fairy tale world—who can understand!

【✨ Wild Luxury Hidden Activities】
• At 4 PM, pet the lambs (feeding with a milk bottle is super healing) 🍼
• The butler will take you stargazing at night 🌌 and provide hot milk
• The room drawer contains a hand-drawn animal guidebook—super cute

【🍴 Must-Try List】
✔️ Matsutake mushroom chicken stew (the hotel grows its own matsutake!)
✔️ Butter tea Basque cheesecake (a café in a corner of the old town)
✔️ Minzhu Lam’s yak meat buns (bursting with juice in one bite)

⚠️ Plateau Survival Guide:
1️⃣ Absolutely no washing your hair on the first day! It causes altitude sickness!
2️⃣ The three-piece sun protection kit must be glued to your face!
3️⃣ Feel free to use the oxygen canisters! The hotel offers free refills 💨

This is probably the closest vacation I've ever had to heaven 💙
Chasing clouds by day, counting stars by night
Even when an alpaca spits at me, I find it adorable—what’s going on!
