Songtsam Lodge Cizhong
Songtsam’s winery lodge in Cizhong village, reopened 25 August 2025 after renovation with 26 rooms facing the Lancang River and opposite vineyards near Cizhong Catholic Church. The property adds Songtsam Cizhong Winery tastings, spa facilities and Chinese-Western dining built around walnut oil and local produce; TIME listed it among World’s Greatest Places 2026. Introductory rates have been published around USD 330 per night with meal inclusions that vary by package. Book through songtsam.com, confirm transfers from Shangri-La or Deqin, and verify meal and wine inclusions before paying third-party markups.

While you're there
Stay for the church, village vines, and lodge wine before adding mountain mileage. Cizhong Catholic Church is the essential walk; Nanjiluo lakes need a clear-weather day and a driver. Confirm meal inclusions and road conditions from Shangri-La or Deqin when you book transfers.
Pro Tip: Book the Shangri-La or Deqin transfer with the lodge, not as a same-day hire; mountain timing into Cizhong is where DIY plans fail, usually after dark.
