Dingxia Island: The Forest Tea House Hidden in the Mountain Night, the Biggest Surprise of This Trip Beyond the beautiful lakes and mountains of Lugu Lake, Dingxia Island offered an experience that far exceeded my expectations. While the gorgeous lake-view rooms were a highlight, it was the forest tea house, meticulously crafted within the resort, that truly captivated me. The entire resort is built harmoniously with the mountain slopes, featuring staggered old wooden cabins, thatched roofs, and scattered tent accommodations nestled amongst the pine trees. As night falls, warm string lights illuminate the pathways, blending seamlessly with the evening, the pines, and the vegetation, creating an incredibly enchanting atmosphere. Strolling along the stone steps, each turn reveals a new picturesque scene—be it a triangular tent or an independent wooden tea room—each space possessing its own unique charm. I particularly loved the forest tea house. These independent wooden tea structures, set amidst the woods, with paper lanterns, low tea tables, and futon cushions, perfectly encapsulate the essence of the wilderness and tea culture. Sitting here brewing a pot of Pu'er, with the deep mountains visible through the window and the evening breeze rustling through the pine branches, all urban anxiety and fatigue simply melt away. It's an ideal spot for a quiet tea gathering for two, or a small salon-style meeting with friends, offering an unparalleled ambiance. The LOFT duplex lake-view room we stayed in was equally impressive. With its two-story layout, the space felt expansive and comfortable. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered direct views of the entire Lugu Lake, and the tatami tea table by the window was perfect for enjoying the lake and mountain sunset at leisure. All the hardware was brand new, the lighting was soft and sophisticated, and the heating was ample. Parking for self-drivers was convenient, making our travels worry-free. The staff provided genuine and thoughtful service, offering practical local recommendations without being overly polite. This place offers not only prime, front-row views of Lugu Lake but also a unique mountain forest tea space. It's more than just accommodation; it's a destination where you can immerse yourself in tea and unwind. Whether you're traveling with family or with fellow tea enthusiasts, Dingxia Island is well worth a special trip to Lugu Lake. Pros: ✔ The forest tea house boasts an exquisite Oriental aesthetic and an exceptional tea-brewing experience. ✔ The LOFT duplex room is spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering direct views of Lugu Lake. ✔ The nighttime lighting creates a stunning landscape, with diverse scenes featuring cabins and tents. ✔ New hardware, excellent heating, and convenient parking for self-drivers. ✔ Practical and attentive service, providing useful local travel advice.

Some hotels give you a five-star experience from the moment you check in, while others start off just okay and then gradually earn their five stars. Qi Man belongs to the latter. To be honest, Qi Man wasn't the hotel I was looking for. Initially, I just wanted to find a highly-rated, clean, and pet-friendly hotel in Lijiang. When I saw Qi Man had the highest rating and best reviews, I booked it. It was only when I was driving there that I realized it wasn't near Lijiang city but rather in Lugu Lake. To my surprise, there was even an entrance fee to stay in Lugu Lake, and I almost turned back. Upon arrival, we couldn't park directly in front of the hotel. Although the hotel provided shuttle service back and forth, it was still quite inconvenient. Also, when I entered the room, there was a smell of smoke from the headboard. However, the hotel staff's service attitude eased my anxiety and frustration, making me willing to stay for one night. If I had left the next day, I probably would have given Qi Man a quite low rating. But on the second day, seeing the scenery of Lugu Lake, the backyard of Qi Man, and the swaying tree shadows, I suddenly felt much better. The staff were friendly, there were many kittens in the backyard, and also fruit trees. The entire hotel design was also thoughtfully done. Because of this, I didn't regret staying for a few days as planned and even extended my stay for a few more days. If I had left on the third day, I would have definitely given Qi Man a five-star rating. Unfortunately, on the fourth day, someone was smoking on the balcony. Qi Man's design is excellent, and the lake views are fantastic. Sitting on the balcony with a coffee, enjoying the cool breeze and the lake and mountain scenery, is pure bliss – but not when you're inhaling second-hand smoke, which also drifts into the room. So, I can't give five stars for hygiene.

The environment here is fantastic, and they even upgraded us to a suite! The location is right by the lake, just a short walk to Langfang Pier, so you don't have to rush to catch a boat for sunrise or morning mist. Dining is also super convenient; there are plenty of restaurants and BBQ places just a 5-7 minute walk away. In the evenings, you can stargaze by the lake, and there's even someone dedicated to explaining the constellations and teaching photography. The service is excellent too, everyone is so enthusiastic.

The hotel boasts a stylish and modern design; drawing back the curtains reveals a breathtaking view of Lugu Lake, like a painting unfolding before your eyes! All the front desk staff were fantastic, with a special shout-out to Mr. Fu from Guangdong, who patiently explained everything about the hotel to us and demonstrated exceptional adaptability! They were incredibly considerate and thoughtful towards their guests! Five-star review!

I didn’t expect that the family suite was so convenient. Kids can stay on the loft, and parents are still within their sight thanks to the open space design. This is very unique and truly family friendly. The amenities are modern with built-in smart technologies. Buffet breakfast is a proper combination of carbs, proteins and fruits, and they taste good. The staffs are polite and helpful. One could tell the hotel is thoughtfully designed and carefully maintained. A big thumbs up for this hotel. Will definitely stay here again if we visit Lugu lake next time.

The hotel boasts smart devices – just say 'Xiao Du, Xiao Du' to turn on the lights or TV! The toilet seat can be automatically replaced, which is a nice touch. Breakfast is quite good, and the rice noodles are especially delicious. They also offer afternoon tea. The owner and the butler are both very welcoming. Perched on a higher elevation, the hotel offers fantastic views of Lugu Lake. Overall, it's a pretty good place, and I particularly enjoyed the smart amenities.
