Tibetan Pasture Cute Pet Healing Journey

Spend a few days as a grassland herder in Shangri-La! Here you’ll find snow-capped mountains, adorable pets, and ultra-healing off-the-beaten-path spots—truly an ideal escape from the city☁️ The manor I stayed at this time is now on my lifetime hotel list!

🏕️ Healing experiences in Shangri-La:

📍 Ritzman | Xinsuo·Qionglu Oxygen-Rich Pasture Hotel
🏠 Address: No. 30, Xiayue Group, Jiefang Village Committee, Jiantang Town (Napahai Grassland Scenic Area)

✨ This divine hotel is absolutely amazing!
- 270° floor-to-ceiling windows facing snow mountains and grasslands, every shot is wallpaper-worthy🏞️
- Exclusive pet pasture with super friendly sika deer, alpacas, and ponies
- Room standard: floor heating + oxygen machine + humidifier trio, zero pressure for high-altitude stays
- Butler service delivers hot milk + bird’s nest daily, and electric blankets are laid out by the bed at night!
- Free Tibetan costume travel photography service (the photographer’s shots are heavenly📸)

📍 Shika Snow Mountain
🎫 Ticket: 150 RMB/person (includes cable car)
🕒 Suggestion: Arrive before 8 AM to see the sea of clouds spectacle

⚠️ Special notes:
- At 3300 meters altitude, it’s recommended not to wash your hair on the first day
