Unique snowing experience
We booked a Family Deluxe Room for three nights at Club Med Lijiang, which included meals, drinks, activities, and nightly performances.
We were “fortunate” enough to experience a winter wonderland during our stay, but this also meant that the outdoor activities were closed/moved indoors eg trapeze, adult pool.
• Room: Having two toilets in the room was a game changer! It also came with a laundry rack useful for some light laundry washing. Amenities and housekeeping were basic.
• Meals: Loved the lunch and dinner spread! A wide variety of China cuisine (which I absolutely enjoyed!), plus some Western delights like Beef Wellington, foie gras, and steak. The biggest surprise? Singapore/Malaysia dishes like Hainanese chicken rice, nasi lemak, and bak kut teh! Kids had their usual pasta, nuggets, and fries, and daily dose of 米线。
• Activities: A bit of a letdown that the pool was only open on alternate days, so we only got to use the pool once. Most kids’ club activities were scheduled during the day, when we were out. Luckily we still managed to participate in cookie-making and trapeze on the last morning before check out. The kids night activity was trivia and team challenges, kids only got the groove in the last night.
• Performances: Family-friendly but not Broadway-level like Royal Caribbean. The kids enjoyed it, and I was just happy to have one hour where I didn’t have to entertain them!
