Taohuawu Lijiang Snow Mountain Secret Realm Luxury Resort Hotel

A truly delightful and surprising experience! Nestled in an idyllic paradise beside Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, this hotel boasts pastures, waterfalls, lakes, vast grasslands, and the stunning Thirteen Peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. I highly recommend it for anyone hoping to witness the 'Golden Summit' sunrise – it's incredibly therapeutic. The butlers are wonderfully attentive and always ready to guide you through activities. The activities themselves are fantastic: horseback riding, tie-dying, and mushroom foraging hikes. And the breakfast? Absolutely delicious and incredibly generous. To top it all off, the hotel even gave us a complimentary room upgrade, which was a lovely unexpected bonus. This stay far exceeded my expectations, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

A truly beautiful place with incredibly enthusiastic staff. We thoroughly enjoyed almost all the activities: archery, boating, and mushroom foraging were all great fun. We picked a lot of matsutake mushrooms, which were then prepared and tasted delicious. The afternoon tea and breakfast were also very rich. The cafe for afternoon tea is located higher up the mountain with fantastic views, and the coffee was excellent too. Overall, a wonderful experience!

This hotel is nestled in a pasture at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, featuring a large lake and beautiful natural scenery. There are many fun activities available, along with adorable cats and dogs. We arrived in the evening, so unfortunately, we missed the mushroom foraging. However, the bonfire party and butter tea experience in the evening were fantastic! My friend and I also tried tie-dyeing and making pinecone crafts the next morning. The hotel staff were all incredibly kind and enthusiastic, feeling more like friends than employees. I highly recommend staying here for two days, dedicating a full day just to enjoy the hotel's activities. Plus, the breakfast is very generous, and the yak meat is incredibly tender and delicious – I loved it!

The scenery is beautiful, even more stunning in person than in pictures. There are also many activities; horse riding was great fun. Most of the staff are from ethnic minority groups, and their hospitality is genuine. Absolutely recommended for a vacation.

I brought my parents here, and even now, the three of us are still reminiscing. It felt like we were in the Swiss mountains, with every scene of the fields and pastures looking like a painting. This is true 'wild luxury' and a perfect escape. Just sitting in the wilderness and zoning out was incredibly healing. Oh, and the toiletries were a full set of Acqua di Parma's Colonia range, which I absolutely loved. No need to worry about the villas being far apart; they offer shuttle service that gets you to your room in three minutes, and they respond incredibly quickly. The ranch has many retired million-dollar racehorses running freely without saddles. They'd walk right up to you, and seeing them graze outside the window felt sacred and awe-inspiring. The restaurant food was superb; we had their Dai-style stir-fried chicken four times, and it was absolutely divine! The butlers were all very genuine and fun; with 14 butlers looking after just you, I felt like a kid again. We stayed in Lijiang for six days, at Banyan Tree, Taohuawu, and Qianshanji, but this 'wild luxury' hotel was by far the most memorable and stunning. It's true that experiencing such an amazing hotel too early raises your expectations, as everything from the environment to the service here is top-notch. It even made our subsequent stay at Lugu Lake feel less impressive. Next time, I'm definitely staying for a whole week; two days was just too short!

A super healing and secluded getaway at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain✨ The standalone starlit cabins offer a fantastic experience, with floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the snow-capped mountains. At night, you can lie in bed and gaze at the starry sky. A dedicated butler provides private car transfers for all activities, including horseback riding, boating, mushroom picking, and DIY crafts – there's a rich array of family-friendly activities. The alpine pasture boasts expansive views, fully immersing you in a wild, natural atmosphere. The service is attentive and thoughtful, making it perfect for families looking to escape the city and enjoy a slow-paced vacation. It's definitely worth staying here when you visit Lijiang 🌿

I'd give this place a 6-star rating! 🌟 The environment is absolutely amazing, surrounded by mountains on all sides – it immediately puts you at ease. We booked a wooden cabin, and being able to park right next to it was a huge plus, especially since we were on a road trip with a lot of luggage. The facilities are top-notch, 5-star standard, complete with Dyson amenities and Parma toiletries. We had dinner at the hotel, and the prices were reasonable, the ingredients fresh and delicious. Plus, the beer was complimentary – incredible value for money! The bonfire party started at 8 PM and the atmosphere was fantastic; everyone was dancing and having a great time. At 9:30 PM, there was a butter tea tasting. The tea master was humorous and engaging. I honestly thought I wouldn't like it, but after one sip, I was hooked – it was surprisingly good! The staff were mostly locals, simple, friendly, and very enthusiastic.

The rooms were clean, bright, quiet, and comfortable, and the hygiene was excellent. Our overall stay exceeded expectations. What our kids loved most were the two dogs, Duo Le and Duo Duo, at the guesthouse. They were gentle, friendly, and not at all shy. As soon as we put down our luggage, the two little ones came wagging their tails, which made the kids incredibly happy. They even followed us when we went mushroom picking. The butler service was also very thoughtful; we hardly needed to leave the room. Anything we wanted, the butler would bring to us. A pleasant surprise was that we had brought our own fruit, thinking it would be inconvenient to buy in the mountains, but we found out that the guesthouse offers a wide variety of fruits for free! The chef's dishes were also delicious; our kids repeatedly asked for several of them. I even asked for the recipes to try making them at home. All in all, this is definitely a hidden gem of a guesthouse, highly recommended with five stars.

Perfect for kids! There are dogs, cats, and horses, and the children can run around freely. There are also plenty of activities like skipping stones, mushroom picking, and boating. As soon as we left, my child asked when we could come back!
