good nights in yunnan

right...let's talk about the places i stayed in during my one week in china. we stayed in 4 different hotels in our 7 nights there and every night was a good night. all the hotels were comfortable and spacious and provided all the amenities needed by guests....well, except for wi-fi service. only one hotel had that.

the most important to me when i am travelling is to get a good night's sleep so you will be rejuvenated and refreshed for the next day's activities. i was glad that i had it and i was fit as a fiddle to explore and behold all the beauties before me.

this is a resort where all the rooms are in terraced houses. it is li jiang's guan fang hotel, on shangri-la road. there are four rooms in this unit you see in the photo. on the ground level are living room, kitchen and dining room. this is the most comfortable of all and it was just like home sweet home. few ladies from the other houses even came over one night and they played cards at the round dining table. it was so merry.

some other units on some other rows. the surrounding area is really peaceful and natural with lots of blossoming flowers and green trees.

the dining area and kitchen.

the computer table with internet connection.

asia star hotel- 5 star(chinese rating) in dali. this is the hotel with wi-fi connection. it only has 6 storeys.

view from my room. that is the lake- er hai way beyond.

another view from the room opposite. can you see snow on the mountain?

shi lin- stone forest area. this is the best hotel in the area (3 star). i have forgotten its name. the hotel was the lousiest and it was just a small area. luckily the room was all right and i got my rest.

wei long hotel, kunming (4 star). stayed here for 3 nights, first, third and last night. situated right in the midst of the city and right behind the shopping district....but without internet service for guests. chaik!!!

the room.

all the beds that i slept on were not too hard. all the rooms were clean. duvets were comfy. rooms were not too hot or cold even though there was no air-conditioning. hot water in the bathrooms were easily adjustable and available. i was satisfied.
