Jiangchu Tai Reception Station

We stayed for two nights and the view from the room is stunning. The tibetan-styled decoration is amazing and makes all the difference, but there were also a few downsides which I have to mention. - For someone that does not speak Chinese, it is very hard to find. So we will write here how we did: from Tagong we took a shared vehicle to Bamei. From there, we took another shared vechicle to Danba, and from Danba, there are rural shared vehicles that will take you to Jiaju. I attach the image of the road sign where you need to get off. There is an entry fee to Jiaju town. - Regarding this rural vehicle, comes the biggest disappointment of our stay, as we asked the owner of the hotel to call a vehicle for us (there is no other way to leave) and he replied “you can look for yourself and if you cannot find one, I will help you”… without a Chinese phone number and without speaking Chinese, it is impossible to call a local driver. So we mentioned this, and he called one driver. When we asked how much we should pay, he say 50 yuan for two people, same as he told us to pay on the way here, but his wife was there and got very angry at him because the real price was 15 yuan per person, and he was part of the rip off. The lady was very friendly and helpful, on the other side, so we want to thank her for her help as she tried to help us. Despite this, we still reccommend you to come as it is a beautiful place and there are walking paths that you can use to walk everywhere in town. The shared toilet was not a problem, hot water works well.

Loved everything about this place! I even extended my stay because the food was good and I slept like a baby in the beautiful room they provided.

What an incredible surprise. The place is colorful, totally surrounded by stunning landscape. The couple who run the place is so friendly, welcoming, warm, and my partner and I enjoyed staying with them so much, and had fun. The food they offer is spectacular and authentic. The rooms are comfortable and spotless clean. Highly recommended!

Stayed there and took some rest for a couple days. Very quiet, view on the mountains, and the owners are adorable. I couldn’t more recommend, you should also stay for dinner.

Beautiful homestay with marvelous views, a wonderful roof terrace and warm owners. It was very cold when we stayed there, but the heated blankets and a hot shower made up for that. They do accept foreigners!

Un petit coin de paradis ! Nous avions réservé la chambre panoramique et nous avions une vue magnifique. Le soleil entre dans la chambre le matin c'est très agréable. Nous avons très bien dormi. Les draps étaient parfaitement propres. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et accueillants. La cuisine est également très bonne ! Le village est touristique mais on peut randonner sur les hauteurs du village et c'est plus tranquille. Merci pour tout :) Quelques informations pour l'accès : il faut payer 30Y/personne pour entrer dans la ville. Des taxis collectifs (jaune) peuvent vous monter pour 10Y/personne depuis Danba. Ils sont au niveau du pont de Danba. Sinon un taxi privatif coûte 50Y.
