Hotel Lancang dengan Tempat Letak Kereta

My favourite hostel in China so far! Located in a beautiful, quiet village with the tea forest right behind, the hostel was so welcoming and cozy. The owner was very friendly, helping me buy tickets, inviting me for drinks, snacks, even taking me and some of the other girls out for a village dance. There was a wonderful feeling of community and female companionship, if I ever return to Jingmaishan, I'll be sure to come here!

The location had great views over the valley, including the early morning sea of cloud. The property has a rooftop lookout that our group could get together to enjoy the view. It helped that our taxi could drive through the narrow road of Mengben village and deposit us and our luggage on the doorstep of the homestay. This is unlike Wengji & Nuogang villages, where cars are not allowed to enter the village but deposit visitors at the village carpark. The hospitality of the owner/hostess was remarkable. She had a Pu'er tea table and made us endless cups of different tea all grown in her farm, explaining their differences and virtues. She did not charge us a cent for the whole experience. Neither did she try to hard sell the tea leaves although we did buy a small amount off her because we enjoyed the tea. She is a good cook and whipped up breakfast and lunch for us.

Amazing stay! The house is located just outside the village on a quiet road. The rooms are super clean, well equipped, and have air conditioning, which is important in winter. But beyond the house itself, the real highlight is the owner. We shared several tea-drinking sessions where he explained the secrets of Pu’er tea and Bulang traditions and history. Despite the language barrier (we don’t speak Chinese and he doesn’t speak English), he made a huge effort using translator apps, and communication was easy and fun. He is incredibly knowledgeable and kind, we highly recommend spending time drinking tea with him. He also created a WeChat mini-app with guides and information about the area, which we used a lot and found very helpful. Our stay was unforgettable: the Jingmai mountains were the highlight of our trip to China, and we went home with some amazing Pu’er tea and great memories. Looking forward to coming back!

考慮到回程方便，在景邁最後一晚選擇了這家，觀景，非常好，老闆和老闆娘都很熱情，大堂的佈局很有品味，各種植物和擺設都讓人很放鬆舒適，隨便一張躺椅或沙發，都能慵懶地躺下欣賞窗外的美景，房間裏有很多小零食，泡澡浴缸，投影以及泡茶的茶台茶具，連茶葉老闆都貼心準備了。每間房間拉開窗簾就能看雲海，可惜我們到的那天雲海有些清淡，留着下次再去。

Review: Eterna Venue Hotel (Liu Shi) - A Tea Mountain Retreat As a self-proclaimed “well-travelled” individual, I never expected Jingmai Mountain to take my breath away again—but it truly did. The journey here is a testament to Yunnan’s untouched beauty, with rolling emerald tea fields, ancient forests, and villages where ethnic tribes have lived for generations. We decided to stay at Eterna Venue Hotel (Liu Shi) instead of the many BnBs on the mountain, having often found those overpriced and lacking in cleanliness. What a pleasant surprise this hotel turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the staff made it feel like home. Many of the team members come from nearby tea-farming communities, and their passion for the land was palpable. They didn’t just serve tea—they shared stories of the heritage behind it, offering insights into the different tea varieties and local traditions. The room was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with high-quality linens. I loved waking up to the sound of roosters and the first rays of sunshine streaming through the window. If you’re like me and prefer to leave the window open at night, the fresh mountain air is the perfect way to start your day. For breakfast, don’t miss the fresh rice noodles and seafood congee—so flavorful! The fruit selection was also fresh and changed daily. A pleasant surprise was finding Cha Ling (a premium LVMH brand) as the hotel’s amenity. Made with tea extract, it added a luxurious touch to my stay. One of my favorite experiences was the traditional tea baking session, Wei Lu Kao Cha. We gathered around a carbon stove, sipped Pu’er tea, ate locally harvested fruit and nuts, and learned to bake our own tea leaves under the guidance of tea masters. The staff’s pride in their cultural heritage shone through in every interaction, making what could have been a simple stay feel like an immersive cultural journey. For anyone looking to experience the authentic soul of Yunnan’s tea mountains, Eterna Venue Hotel offers more than just a place to stay—it provides a meaningful connection to this beautiful region.

出行很方便，到北歸咖倉看日出步行過去也就10分鐘左右，樓頂平台視野特別好，美景一覽無餘，老闆娘每天做的米線都是前一天熬的高湯作為底料，非常好吃。

This hotel exceeded my expectations in the best way possible. The owner and his team are incredibly welcoming, making you feel right at home. The breakfast spread is simply outstanding! Our room was spacious and thoughtfully equipped with tea, coffee, bottled water, a kettle, delicious snacks, and fresh fruit. The sandals, bathrobe, and towels were impeccably clean and individually wrapped, which was a nice touch. We arose early to embark on a quick 15-minute hike to catch the sunrise, and the view was absolutely breathtaking—totally worth the early start (check out the photos!). I wholeheartedly recommend this place to my friends and look forward to staying here again on my next visit.

Erg lieve familie! We werden meteen uitgenodigd voor thee, en ik heb zelfs zelfgemaakte dragonfruitwijn gedronken. Ontbijt en avondeten zijn heerlijk, goed klaargemaakt én wij vonden het ook nog eens goedkoop. Ze zijn bijna altijd in de buurt om te helpen, maar hebben tegelijk duidelijk hun eigen bezigheden — fijne balans. De accommodatie voelt een beetje als een kleine boerderij: er zijn meerdere dieren aanwezig. Ook zij en de buren hebben superlieve, aanhankelijke hondjes en een kat. Ze stoeien en spelen de hele dag met elkaar en komen graag bij je kijken. Ik werd echt verliefd op de pup van de buren. Qua prijs is deze plek, vergeleken met andere accommodaties in de omgeving, echt goedkoop. De kamer is prima: niet heel groot, maar groot genoeg (en je bent toch meestal buiten). Het bed is hard, wat wij juist fijn vonden. Het toilet is een squattoilet en er is heet water. Het gezamenlijke terras is een hoogtepunt: een prachtig uitzicht over de bergen en de vallei, en je kijkt uit op de “sea of clouds” — magisch, vooral in de ochtend. Wij hadden geen auto, maar konden hier een scooter huren voor 50 yuan per dag. Dat was zó leuk en maakte ons verblijf beter dan we hadden kunnen dromen: we hebben met z’n tweeën het hele gebied verkend. De bus stopt op ongeveer 1 km afstand, en voor de terugweg naar Pu’er hebben ze ons geholpen met een shared ride. Het is echt een warme familie die met je meedenkt over je reis en die altijd wil helpen. Als we terugkomen, zouden we weer hierheen gaan. Dankjulliewel! Ps: vlakbij de accommodatie is ook een gezin dat zelfgemaakte theesets verkoopt met speciale klei. Een aanrader!

Reasons to stay here: Great location with walking distance to Manjing and Wenji (there's a great coffee place here btw) Owners are super friendly and helpful. The views. Delicious tea. Hot and strong shower Big beds with puffy pillows.

Highly recommend this place! I stayed for 3 weeks, and they took such good care of me! We went tea picking, and drank much tea together! Their breakfast noodles are the best! They have been so accommodating even when language was a challenge, and awesome at translating, and really making me feel at home! Hai ge also speaks English! I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! It’s a bit off the beaten path, but I loved being in between the bigger villages, and it feels like a perfect balance between tourist area and local area! The other family’s and village people around were amazing as well! If you get a chance definitely come and stay! 10/10!
