banyan tree Ringa

The banyan tree Ringa is located in a local Tibet village, 20 mins outside of shangri la town in yunnan Province, some hotel villas were even coveted from local Tibet home.

The view is stunning, and will be even better in May. the tempture different is huge during the day. I still didn't feel warm enough even after I turned all 7 Air conditions on. since the location is more than 3000 meters above sea level, I kept waking up at night due to highland effect.

Here are some photos from hotel

You can register both NWA and Delta and earn bonus on each, but NWA is harder than delta due to fewer partners.

Some pictures from world tallest hotel-Park Hyatt Shanghai

I stayed in Feb, but I am too busy with many thinsg recently, so no time for me to even organize hundreds of photo for past month trip. Anyway, finally got some time to do it.

The hotel and building are owned by Japanese, so everything is very similar to Park Hyatt Toyko. The highest floor you can go in hotel is 93rd, above that, u need to pay and enter from world financial building.



View from room, but weather was very bad in Shanghai


very comfortable bed, but not as good as Park Hyatt Toyko.

Hilton loyalty makreting is ridiculous

Whenever a hotel chain running system wide promotion, it will clearly note the eligible rate for the promotion.

Hilton are just doing the opposite, they don't tell u the eligible rate for the promotion and try to trick their customer. Like the triple miles promotion they are running now, there is no where saying the eligible rate for the promotion. Someone on flyertalk received a reply from Senior Loyalty Specialist, they are currently more than 100 rate plan don't count for promotion.
