About
About this getaway
Songtsam Lodge Tacheng sits among Qibie and Hada villages on a terrace above the Lapu river, in Weixi, Diqing, northwest Yunnan. The official English page places it between the Yangtze and the Mekong, about a three to four hour drive from Shangri-La, at a more comfortable altitude than the high lodges. Rooms in the main building face terraced rice fields and mountains. There are 20 rooms: deluxe rooms of 25 to 33 square metres, and deluxe suites of 40 to 50 square metres.
Meals are cooked by local chefs from the lodge garden and surrounding villages. The page names wild honey, fish, and ham among the valley's produce, with fruit, rice, wheat and grapes in season. Yunnan Golden Monkey National Park, in Xianggujing Forest, is listed as a drive of about 30 minutes, then a walk to look for Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys. Sightings are not guaranteed. Founder Baima Duoji is named on the Songtsam about page. Reservations: info@songtsam.com, phone 400 0000 830.
