Pet Friendly Hotels in Shimian

The cost of commuting almost equaled the accommodation fee. After entering the mountain, the road frequently had collapsing sections and was very narrow. After leaving Shimian County, we often encountered muddy roads that had been dug up. At 7km from the hotel, the road narrowed to allow only one car to pass, and at 3.8km, half the road had collapsed, making it extremely dangerous. Closer to the hotel, road conditions improved, but there were livestock blocking the path everywhere and droppings all over the place. The mountain roads had many sharp turns, but the guardrails had been destroyed by rolling rocks and were not maintained. I usually don't get car sick, but this time I really did. **Hygiene:** A lot of wood was used to build the housing, such as balconies, entrance steps, the pier, the fire pit bar, and the hot springs. However, there were many insects, so every crevice was full of unknown bugs. The toiletries and bedding were in good hygienic condition. **Environment:** I was attracted by the hotel's宣传, and after repeatedly checking review photos and related notes, I finally decided to travel here with my wife. However, what we saw upon arrival were signs of what could only be described as dereliction. The metal on the main gate was severely corroded, half of the golden hotel name had even been chipped off, the entrance was completely blocked by debris, and no security guard was in sight. The gate groaned as it opened, as if I wasn't coming for a vacation but for an adventure in an ancient castle. The description of 'lush greenery by the shore' was completely unrelated; the lakeside only had countless weeds and uneven, unidentifiable vegetation. Perhaps fishermen would like such an environment, but I saw a mess full of camping traces with no place to step, and thick vegetation that would snag you if you passed by, so I reluctantly left. Who would have thought that people once barbecued, ate, and drank by this shore, or that countless couples tied the knot here? The road around the lake hadn't been maintained for a long time and was covered in livestock droppings. If anyone maintained this road, it must be the flies and butterflies. The streetlights were corroded and pushed up by plants growing from underground; the road surface was covered by vegetation, hiding any past traces. Even the gaps in the hot spring wooden boards were filled with black, unknown grime, which made my wife and I give up on the idea of soaking in the hot springs. The chapel in the water had discolored in parts from exposure to wind and sun, and people were renovating it from morning till night during our two-day stay. **Dining:** Only beef hotpot and lamb hotpot were available, priced at 380 per pot. Having read the reviews, I chose not to eat them. For breakfast, I selected noodles, dessert, watermelon, and milk. My review is that even my own cooking is better than this. The chef was very attentive; when we found an insect in the noodles, they immediately made us a new bowl. The restaurant's decor was also very thoughtful, but there were no signs of maintenance. The exterior wall had been scratched with large metallic marks, presumably by unruly children or something else. However, the menu was clearly not very thoughtful, though perhaps it once offered a rich variety of food. **Overall:** Perhaps I came at the wrong time, or maybe it was indeed great when it first opened, but for reasons I cannot ascertain, this is how the hotel appeared before my eyes. In fact, my wife and I initially wanted to have a destination wedding here, but we gave up on that idea after witnessing the deplorable state of the place. It's very exquisitely designed, achieving quite impressive results with limited resources, so much so that even in its current state, the photo opportunities are still good. A small stream that used to wind from the mountains through the sea-view rooms and into the lake is now dried up. The fire pit bar still has piled firewood, and the central stove still bears witness to people gathering around the fire to eat and laugh joyfully at dusk, but now there's only metal eroded by moss, and insects crawling out of the wood to patrol their territory. Perhaps it's precisely because of limited resources that maintenance is impossible. I was truly touched by the remaining hotel staff who are still striving to operate, but my beautiful dream has truly been shattered.

The traffic is very convenient. In the middle of Yele Lake and Menghuo City. It is also very quiet and the boss is enthusiastic. You can also eat barbecue.

The internal facilities are very complete, the health is very good, the boss service is warm is central air conditioning. But the location is next to the road, there are often large trucks passing by, the sound is a bit noisy. It may have a little impact on friends with high sleep conditions.
