Due to the epidemic situation, domestic travel destinations have attracted more and more attention. Friends around me have been discussing how to plan May Day recently. Some plan to take a drive around, while others say they want to find a resort hotel to stay.
Then I thought of the Banyan Tree Tengchong Mayugu, where I lived before. It was quite suitable for married with children to spend a holiday, so my Report came.
Although Tengchong is located a little far away from Myanmar, there are three luxury hotels in this small town: Stone Story, Shun Bailian and Banyan Tree.
The Stone Story was selected by Hyatt, and Kengo Kuma was invited to design it. The stunt is not small, but it is a little far from the scenic spot.
Bailian is next to Heshun ancient town, and staying in the hotel is like sitting on the scenery of the whole ancient town.
Banyan Tree is located in Mayugu Hot Spring Town. Most scenic spots in Tengchong can be reached by half an hour's drive, and it is also convenient to go to Heshun Ancient Town.
Banyan Tree has always been a very recognizable hotel. It presents the traditional classical charm of China in an advanced way, and there is also a saying in the street to describe Banyan Tree: wherever you drive, it is like where you go. This is because they have their own exclusive design department, so that each hotel in Banyan Tree can properly integrate into local characteristics while maintaining tonality.
For example, Banyan Tree Huangshan is a Huizhou-style building with white walls and tiles; Jiuzhaigou brings in the elements of Qiang and Tibetan villages; The Banyan Tree in Xixi, Hangzhou is the charm of the south of the Yangtze River with small bridges and flowing water ... The structure of this Banyan Tree in Tengchong refers to the residential characteristics of the Bai people's "three squares and one wall". You can feel the local customs when staying in a hotel, which is one of the reasons why I chose Banyan Tree at that time.
The location of Banyan Tree has its own set of principles, which are generally far away from the bustling areas and in the places where you can see the nature yourself. The Banyan Tree Tengchong Mayugu should be the most expensive and smallest one in China, and its good environment and hot springs are the foundation of its high price. Small is good, and there is an illusion that the whole garden is its own private courtyard.
The Banyan Tree in Mayugu is like an ancient courtyard, with no grandiose design, only white walls, black tiles, wood, bricks and other very natural elements.
Walking along the winding path, birds are heard from time to time. In this atmosphere, you will calm down and begin to enjoy this rare peace and comfort.
Hotel One * * * has 37 rooms, including soup house and villa, which are located on both sides with the lobby as the center.
I live in a hot spring garden villa this time. I was deeply impressed by the bamboo forest leading to the villa area, and I felt the artistic conception in the poem "my path has wound, through a sheltered hollow, of boughs and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat".
The hotel doesn't have a public swimming pool area, so you can choose a spa pool villa if you need it. Two adjacent villas can be opened, and this design is very good if two families come to live.
Push the door and go in. The flowers and grass in the yard are interesting. The overall design of the room is simple and elegant, and the classical Chinese style also extends to the room, making people feel comfortable and relaxed wherever they look.
I used to eat casual welcome fruit on the table, but here it has become my obsession. The fruit in Yunnan is really memorable, especially sweet and fresh.
There are also some books about Tengchong architecture on the desk, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of the human history of this treasure land.
Yunnan is a big tea-producing province. Of course, Pu 'er tea is the most famous among the eight famous teas in the province. You can see shops selling Pu 'er tea cakes in scenic spots in various cities in Yunnan.
Banyan Tree has also moved this Yunnan specialty into the room. On the windowsill of the sofa, there is a simple tea set and three kinds of tea locally produced in Yunnan. In the afternoon when the sun is shining, it is also very fun to lie on the sofa and make yourself a pot of tea.
The bathroom is spacious as a whole, with double sinks. The toiletries are put in Banyan Tree's own accompanying bag, and the contents are free to use, but the bag needs extra purchase to take away.
Next to it is a storage area, which is more than enough for two people.
All the spare parts are packed in pottery jars printed with the LOGO of Banyan Tree. It smells delicious, but it won't go in a big jar.
here is a small background: Tengchong has a long history of pottery making, and the local earthenware is one of China's intangible cultural heritages. If you are interested in this traditional skill, you can go to Wanyao Natural Village to see the pottery-making skills handed down from generation to generation by the villagers, or you can buy some souvenirs to take home.
There is a snack on the bed, which can be used as a reward for yourself before going to sleep. Pillows have a variety of pillow cores, and I really like this intimate detail. It is always a very pleasant thing for people to have a choice.
Every room type of the villa will bring an outdoor private soup, and all the water pipes flow out of Tengchong's fluorinated metasilicate hot springs, which has a calming effect on the human body. If you live in a soup house, then Tang Chi is indoors.
No matter what room type, the number of times you go to the hot spring will not be limited. So soak it before going to bed at night, and then soak it again before checking out the next day, and leave with a whole body comfortable.
There is also a separate outdoor space in the yard, which is very suitable for sitting down and having breakfast on a sunny morning.
My little sister will bring you rich food with a basket, and you can eat some snacks with Yunnan characteristics. For example, Tengchong thin bean powder, and my favorite crispy buns.
Let's talk about the public area of the hotel. SPA is a trump card of Banyan Tree, and it has become a very important part of the brand of Banyan Tree. There are two Banyan Tree SPA colleges in the world, one in Lijiang and the other in Phuket, and their standards have been officially certified by Thailand. Therefore, opening a hotel may be the sideline of Banyan Tree.
after the massage in the SPA, you can buy all kinds of Banyan Tree's toiletries, aromatherapy and peripheral products in the lobby, almost thinking that you are shopping in the mall.
If you don't want to go out for a SPA, you can ask the technicians in the museum to serve you in your room. There are two massage beds in the courtyard of the villa. It must be more enjoyable to lie in the outdoor sunshine and do SPA.
The gym in the hotel is not big, but it has basic equipment. And the scenery outside the window is beautiful, which will make me want to soak on the treadmill for a while.
The hotel also has some entertainment facilities and public outdoor hot springs, but when I went there, because the epidemic was not open yet, I could only show you the net map.
The advantage of soaking in Gong * * * hot springs is that there are many kinds, and you can soak in different pools.
As for the food, the full-time restaurant in the hotel is called Mingyue, and the names of private rooms are Listening to Rain, Singing Wind and Drunken Moon, which are poetic and picturesque.
I had a dinner in the restaurant. Although I didn't order the most famous mushroom hot pot, I ordered the stewed chicken soup with boletus. Eating more mushrooms in Yunnan can't be wrong. You can eat fresh in your mouth and learn a lot.
The dishes in the restaurant are set with great care, even the cold dishes make people shine. After eating a whole plate, I didn't understand how the intertwined cucumber rolls were cut out, and the ribs with sauce were simply a painting.
Two hot dishes didn't disappoint people either. The stir-fried shrimp looks like a chef saying: I'm just a porter of nature.
Opposite the restaurant is the lobby bar. Although it is a bar, it still maintains a Chinese style. I always feel that I should have some tea. You can also choose to sit outdoors, and the wisteria in full bloom is showing off its beauty to you.
The Banyan Tree in Mayu Valley and Yuechun Hot Spring Village belong to the same park. In fact, this area was originally Yuechun, and later the accommodation part was upgraded to Banyan Tree. At present, Yuechun Hot Spring Village is preparing to build its own housing area. After completion, it is still worth choosing. After all, it can enjoy facilities and environment with Banyan Tree, and the price is relatively cheap.
Yuechun Hot Spring Village is a ticketing system. There are 39 outdoor hot springs, large and small, each with its own functions. In order to let you soak in it for a day, the hot spring village also provides buffet service. It was closed when I went, but it is open now.
As for when it is suitable to live in Banyan Tree Tengchong, I want to say that it is all good. The average annual temperature in Tengchong is around 11-22 degrees, and the climate is very pleasant except for the relatively large sun.
In spring, you can go to Jietou to see 11,111 mu of rape flowers, or go to Taohua Valley to meet all loves. In early summer, it is a good place to eat fresh mushrooms and heat Tengchong a little more.
In autumn, Ginkgo Village near Banyan Tree is covered with golden yellow, which is beautiful. In winter, it is natural to avoid the cold and soak in hot springs to have a pleasant warm winter.
In addition, beihai wetland, Volcano Park and Heshun Ancient Town, which is a must-see for Tengchong, are not far from the hotel, so you don't have to worry about staying in the hotel and having nowhere to play.
Last but not least, I was deeply impressed by the service of this Banyan Tree. When waiting for the formalities at the hotel, the front desk sent tea, snacks, hot towels and wreaths. The fatigue of the journey was appeased by such a warm move, and there was a feeling of "home" at last.
and when I left for the airport, I stamped my feet at the door because I forgot to tell the hotel to call a taxi in advance. The front desk helped us coordinate the vehicles and served two cups of tea. Well, don't worry about anything. Taking your time is the essence of life in Tengchong.
People in this small town live their own lives in no hurry, and the happiness of enjoying themselves is very easy here. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, please come to the Banyan Tree in Tengchong Mayu Valley, visit the ancient town, and occasionally press a pause button for yourself.
I see that there seems to be a promotion in the hotel recently. Two-night villas in 3999 will be given two breakfasts. If you are interested, you can go to the official WeChat mall of Banyan Tree in Mayu Valley.
