亚东印象大酒店

Tibet Dingri Zhufeng Hotel-1.5 star hotel. Room and bathroom are dimly lit with bedding etc. consistent with star rating. In other words, don't expect much. The room has no closet and the toilet flush did not work for our room. However, there is a pail for manual flush. Hot water and electricity are not reliable. However, the luke warm shower in the morning was appreciated. In cases of loss of power, there are a few candles and a matchbox for your use. This was the first hotel wherein the silk cocoons we bought were put to use. My wife used the 6 hour instant heat packs as there was no heat provided. Mountain House freeze dried food was planned for dinner but the room service (you have to order and pay at the hotel restaurant) of chicken in spicy sauce, fried spinach and chicken fried rice hit the spot for us--whew!!. You will appreciate the thermos of hot water provided. I did not fully appreciate this service (even when we were in Mainland China last year) until this trip. The hotel has a bar/internet area but I did not see anyone using the facility. I saw some Jack Daniels, Budweiser and some local alcohol beverages on the shelf. Here is picture link of the hotel: http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/Html/20063210136-1.Html

这座城市不怎么样。只有3到4家“酒店”——这家还是“最好”的。这里不是很好,但对于无畏的旅游者来说忍受1到2晚还是可以的。来这里的唯一原因是去珠穆朗玛峰(Mount Everest)要经过这个小镇,可能需要过夜。不论你住哪里都很糟糕,而这家是最不那么痛苦的。难伺候的旅客请注意——这里只适合具有冒险精神的人……喜欢《Lonely Planet》的人会比较喜欢住在这里,而《Fordor's 》的人会很痛苦。

For what appeared to be the only hotel in the town, this hotel does a perfectly good job, and seems to cater well for the the number of tour groups going through it. It would appear to exist solely for the purposes of the traffic through to Base Camp and has adapted to suit. There is a small clothing shop inside and outside the hotel as well as a tea shop (a bonus for a place in the middle of nowhere........). The rooms were perfectly functional and the dining room catered well for the volume of people going through - the food was good, plentiful. The bar was quirky - it was cheaper to buy a litre bottle of Baileys (they didn't appear to sell it by the glass) than to buy one of the miniatures. The internet was down, but at least they are trying to cater for their market, which is mainly European/Australian/American. Really have no major problems with this one.

The city is not nice. There one 3 or 4 "hotels" - this is the 'nicest'. This place is not nice but its bearable for a nite or 2 to the intrepid traveler. Only reason to go thru this town is to reach Mount Everest and that may require a nite's stay. Anywhere you stay will be fairly crappy but this is the least painful. High maintenance travelers beware - this is for adventurous folks... Lonely Planet crowd will be more than fine here but Fodder's folks will be hurtin.

1996年暑假青藏高原之旅，由日喀則出發，經薩迦到定日住在這一間西藏定日珠峰賓館，趕了整天車，晚上才到，好像在沙漢中到達一個綠洲。那晚在賓館餐廳吃的晚飯（好像有一碟揚州炒飯）簡直美味無窮，晚上望上天空，有無盡繁星，令人目眩神迷，一生都不會忘記。 賓館住了很多想上珠峰的登山人士，西人較多，想叫司機開車上珠峰登山基地（絨布寺），司機不肯，說上去四驅車肯定報銷了，留下一點遺憾。
