Mulan Tea Lodge: A Poetic Retreat Blending Orchid Elegance and Pu'er Charm in Menghai
Nestled in Shahe Town, Menghai County of Yunnan Province—renowned as "China's Pu'er Tea County"—lies Mulan Tea Lodge, a poetic retreat where "orchid" is the soul and "Pu'er tea" is the essence. Only a 50-minute drive from the downtown area of Jinghong, its advantageous geographical location perfectly combines convenient transportation with the tranquility of the mountains.
Stepping into the lodge, you enter an elegant world where "orchids and tea coexist". Lush green trees surround the area, dotted with ancient flame trees that cast dappled light across the courtyard. A serene atmosphere washes over you, as if you have stepped into a secluded paradise far from the hustle and bustle. We have carefully crafted 6 types of distinctive rooms, ranging from simple Mulan Premium King/Twin Rooms and cozy Plain Comfort Rooms, to "Flowing Sand Scenic View Rooms" (with wide-open vistas of the surrounding landscape), family-friendly Premium Family Rooms, and stylish Premium Suites. Each room is fully equipped with amenities, ensuring you find the perfect fit whether you're traveling alone, on a couple's getaway, or with family.
Beyond accommodation, the joys of Mulan Tea Lodge lie in "tea" and "leisure". The public tea-tasting area is filled with the fragrance of tea, ideal for sitting quietly and savoring the afternoon. In the comfortable lounge area, you can gather with relatives and friends to chat, their laughter drifting through the windows. The rooftop viewing terrace is the lodge's "hidden gem"—here, you can host a casual party with a few friends, or stand alone in the breeze, sipping tea and admiring flowers, letting the mountain wind carry away all your worries.
The handmade tea experience is one of the lodge's unique features. The immersive one-stop experience takes you through every step: first, picking fresh and tender tea leaves in the on-site tea garden; then, learning to stir-fry the leaves over low heat to lock in their aroma; next, rolling the fried leaves by hand to shape them into classic tea forms; and finally, brewing and tasting the tea you made yourself. Every step lets you feel the dedication and craftsmanship behind Pu'er tea. The transformation of each tea leaf and the rising aroma of every cup vividly interpret Menghai's tea culture. What's more, we have established in-depth cooperation with the "Laotongzhi" Direct Store of Haiwan Tea Industry Co., Ltd. Here, you can taste authentic high-quality Pu'er tea and feel the profound cultural heritage accumulated along the ancient Tea Horse Road.
At Mulan Tea Lodge, there's no need to rush—just slow down. Neighboring orchids and accompanied by tea, you'll encounter a beautiful time of tranquility and craftsmanship amid the green mountains and clear waters of Menghai.
"民宿就在流沙河邊的星光夜市上,房內的設計風格與房內所有物品傢俬都得出老闆的用心之處。另有2個建議,建議1:房內安裝有電視,因為入住的客人不一定都是會玩手機的年輕客人,有可能是有看電視習慣的老年人。2.到夏天會很熱,建議配個小冰箱,其它都很贊~前台小哥和做衞生的服務員都很熱情禮貌,會禮貌的打招呼,衞生間的五金件都無水印,衞生很棒,有機會再來勐海會優先考慮入住。"
