MoYe | Snow Mountain Cliff Hotel (Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge Hotel)

There's not much to say, as one of the hottest hotels online these past two years, it truly stands out. With just over forty rooms, its comprehensive amenities including Chinese and Western restaurants and a café are impressive. The stunning cliff-top infinity pool, unique cliffside floor-to-ceiling window café, and grotto-like design all contribute to its potential for popularity. The hotel is perched on a cliff, directly facing the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, with snow-capped peaks visible from the rooms. Below the cliff lies the middle section of Tiger Leaping Gorge. The hotel offers a guided hiking experience along a very safe, short trail, yet the scenery is breathtaking, and the guide even helps take photos. The hotel offers a wide variety of room types, and the one I booked was truly beautifully designed. The incredible floor-to-ceiling windows provide panoramic views of the cliffs. The design seamlessly incorporates cliff elements, creating a cool yet highly sophisticated mineral-like aesthetic. The massive private hot tub on the terrace is absolutely perfect for Instagram-worthy shots. The hotel's Chinese restaurant serves excellent food, a fusion of local and Cantonese cuisine, and the prices are quite reasonable. The Western restaurant has a fantastic ambiance, with a large window on the right offering beautiful tree views—perfect for a date. Overall, it's a new landmark for luxury wilderness resorts in China, and its design is uniquely stunning. If you're visiting Tiger Leaping Gorge, I highly recommend it.

I’ve wanted to visit this place ever since I passed through Shangri-La before. Unfortunately, my previous trip was too rushed. This time, I specifically set aside time, finally making up for that little regret. The massive floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed, breathtaking view of the majestic Tiger Leaping Gorge. Walking on the glass skywalk that extends out from the building genuinely made my palms sweat, but I captured some incredible photos! Both the rooms and public areas are designed to perfection, brimming with a sense of style. The loft-style room allows you to take aerial shots of the private plunge pool inside the room and the rushing water beneath the cliff – quite wild! Initially, I didn't have high expectations for the hotel's food, but the cliffside Western restaurant, Songye, surprisingly impressed me! Perched on the cliff, both the view and the flavors were outstanding. Eating such delicious food truly brought an explosion of happiness. It's a truly unique place! Niche yet memorable.

Stepping into a movie scene on a cliff! 🎬 I was absolutely stunned the moment I opened the door. The entire floor-to-ceiling window offered breathtaking views of the cliff. Lying in bed felt like I was floating above the valley. The bathroom was well-designed with a separate wet and dry area, and it even came with a Dyson hairdryer. Even the hand soap was LOEWE! The room also had its own private hot spring pool. Who can understand the feeling of soaking in a hot tub while gazing at a majestic cliff? The hotel has its own restaurant and coffee shop, and the one-on-one butler service was incredibly attentive. In the morning, I went hiking with the butler, and every photo I took looked like it came straight out of a movie. This quiet yet sophisticated place is truly worth experiencing at least once. 📍 Monova Snow Mountain Cliff Hotel #TigerLeapingGorge #MonovaSnowMountainCliffHotel #ShangriLa #Yunnan #StayInTheScenery

【Cliffside Serenity】Afternoon Tea: The afternoon tea was quite good, and the apple cinnamon tea was delicious. 【Homeward Bound Souvenir】Departure Gift: The two insulated mugs seemed to be of good quality, not cheap items. Hygiene: The cleaning and disinfection were very thorough. Environment: We got an upgraded room with a fantastic view. There was even a light show at night! You could really feel the majestic grandeur of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and we were backed by Haba Snow Mountain 🏔️. The location was perfect, right in the middle section of the Jinsha River Tiger Leaping Gorge, with excellent feng shui, truly a prime spot for attracting wealth 👍. The restaurant food was also good, and parking was convenient 🅿️. The service was genuinely excellent; the staff were patient, enthusiastic, and attentive even though we bothered them a lot!!! 👌 We'll definitely be back next time.

The rooms were clean and tidy, and the location was fantastic, right in the middle of Tiger Leaping Gorge. The service was warm and attentive, and the facilities were well-equipped. The hotel also arranged hiking tours, making it a great choice for couples or families.

I was incredibly lucky to book Moye through Trip.com – it was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all my expectations! The unique design, the stunning outdoor views, the warm and attentive service, and the thoughtfully prepared afternoon tea all made me want to linger longer. The room's rock-integrated layout made it feel like being in a cave, yet it was perfectly equipped with modern amenities. The tea bar on the outdoor balcony, the comfortable lounge chairs, and the warm sunshine all contributed to a wonderful experience. From the hotel's glass viewing platform, I was incredibly fortunate to capture a photo of the 'Golden Mountain Bathed in Sunlight,' truly experiencing the magic and charm of nature firsthand! Thanks to the hotel's arrangements, we had a complimentary car and guide for a hike in Tiger Leaping Gorge, leaving our footprints and beautiful photos by the Jinsha River at the bottom of the cliffs. Before leaving, I even received a thoughtfully crafted souvenir from the hotel: two stainless steel cups with mini electronic screens, symbolizing a beautiful journey that stays with you. From its distinctive design to its meticulous and attentive service, executed flawlessly, I wonder which other establishment could possibly surpass this?! I hope Moye continues to thrive and grow!

The room wasn't particularly impressive, just average. Although I booked this room type, the amenities felt a bit outdated. Our balcony faced the coffee shop, and it got quite noisy in the mornings with all the tourists checking in. The hotel staff were very friendly and provided excellent service, making sure to communicate with us beforehand. Regarding the restaurant, we were told it wasn't affiliated with the hotel, which became clear during the holiday rush. If you went for breakfast a little late, you'd find a long queue for tables, and they couldn't keep up with the demand. Later, during afternoon tea, the restaurant staff seemed a bit disorganized, even though there were only a few tables of guests. Service was slow, so you definitely needed patience.

1. There was absolutely no service. After we were seated, I called for a long time, and no one came to help us. Then, when the food was served, the teapot's spout was broken, but the waiter still brought it over. When we poured the tea, it spilled all over us! How could they not notice such a big chip in the spout? They must not be washing the dishes thoroughly; just a quick rinse and then serving them to the next table! 2. I wanted to get a glass of milk and was told the glasses were still being washed, so I should wait. Then, they just picked up a used glass from a recently cleared table nearby, washed it under the tap, and wiped it with a towel from beside them to give me milk! 3. The lock for the restroom door next to the restaurant was on the doorknob, and it was on the back of the handle – a truly inconvenient design! I searched for a long time and couldn't find the lock… 4. After checking in at the front desk, there were two very high steps on the way to the afternoon tea area, but there were absolutely no 'watch your step' signs. I was traveling with two elderly people, and they almost tripped! If they had fallen and broken a bone, that would be a very serious problem. Furthermore, the hotel has steps everywhere, and only some of them have warning signs, which is very unfriendly to elderly people with mobility issues and those with poor eyesight. 5. The hotel elevators also don't indicate 'guest rooms' on each floor, and the room numbers to the left and right after exiting the elevator are confusing. It made us think it wasn't a guest room elevator, and after getting in, we thought we had made a mistake and couldn't get to our room! After checking in, I happened to see a girl at the front desk asking where the elevator to the rooms was. 6. I booked the room before February 10th for a check-in on February 19th, but I wasn't contacted until the morning before check-in. I then proactively called the hotel, and the front desk told me not to worry, that they would contact me in the afternoon (I couldn't understand why, since I had already called, they still wanted me to wait until the afternoon). I didn't check my phone in the afternoon. Later, when I called again this morning, they said they had contacted me. I checked my records, and there was indeed a call, but I might not have noticed it. Why didn't they try contacting me again? Making another call wouldn't take much time, would it? 7. On the morning of check-in, I proactively contacted the hotel again and added their customer service on WeChat. I clearly stated over the phone that I was driving there, but they never informed me about the traffic control. I checked the navigation in the morning, and it showed about two hours of travel time, but to my surprise, traffic control started at 2 PM. A ten-minute drive ended up taking an hour. The key point is that I asked the traffic police, and they said this has been the situation for the past two days. I think, since you are a hotel within a scenic area, you should definitely notify customers in advance about such situations. Otherwise, if I had left before 11 AM, I would have arrived long ago and wouldn't have had to wait for traffic control. In conclusion: The surrounding natural scenery is beautiful! However, it's enough to just visit the cafe for a photo op. There's really no need to stay here. There are many other hotels in the area with great views! This was the worst experience of our family's trip, bar none!
