Liangxi Xiaozhu Homestay (Dukezong Ancient City Branch)

We were initially worried about travelling to shangrila because of the altitude, but we got lucky with the hotel choice! The couple running the place is absolutely amazing!! The owner picked us up from the train station making us feel so welcomed and help us avoid all the hassle of the unlicensed taxis! Once we reach the hotel, they were also very considerate preparing Chinese desserts for us in case to ease up the discomfort due to the altitude (all FOC)! The room were also very modern with smart home system and heater available in the room! Oxygen supplies also available which makes it so convenient ( we really use it in the middle of the night as we lack of the oxygen)! The owner also prepare us with heat pad and lots of snacks as well! Highly recommended this place!

location is good, near to the east gate, convenient to travel to other attractions outside of dukezong ancient town (such as pudacuo national park) as taxis/buses do not drive into the ancient town. the heating system is only turned on at night and it isn't very good, can feel a bit cold when the weather is around zero degrees. the room is also equipped with an oxygen machine in case one experiences altitude sickness, and a humidifier as the air there is fairly dry. when we arrived on the first day, snacks in the form of local delicacies were provided which tasted nice. the staff are friendly and helpful too.

Near entrance but not the main entrance. The room is nice. The bed is comfortable.
