Stay in the hidden gem of Western Sichuan, where you can breathe alongside snow-capped mountains, colorful forests, and villages. Located at No. 23, He Ba Group, Luzhua Village, Heishui County, Aba Prefecture, the Blackwater Norskey Guesthouse is nestled in a valley surrounded by colorful forests. It is adjacent to breathtaking natural wonders such as Dagu Glacier, Karong Gorge, and Sanao Snow Mountain. It is an ideal place to explore “the land of colorful forests” – Heishui. The guesthouse is situated at an altitude of around 2,800 meters, surrounded by mountains, with streams flowing gently. Style wooden cottages are built according to the terrain, blending traditional Qiang and architectural styles with modern comforts. Each room is crafted from natural wood and features panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to see the reflection of the snow-capped mountains when you open the window in the morning and to sleep with the stars above you at night. The owner is a genuine who is warm and genuine, eager to share local culture and cuisine with you. A cup of butter tea, a song in these are all warm memories from your journey.
「Arrived on 18 January around 8.30 pm. We were greeted by friendly gantlemen and assisted us with the luggage direct to the room. Even we not speak with the same langguage but they still helping us by using translator.
The room come with big screen + projector.
This hotel location very strategic just 10-15 mins to go Dagu Glacier. However if hotel provides a iron & iron board each floor for hotel guest will be more wonderfull.」
「The hotel is nicely decorated and clean. We loved the big windows and view. Beds are comfortable and the owners are nice. It's located up a hill, and they don't have a restaurant, so if you don't have a car and want to eat dinner, it's difficult to walk back up. I booked this hotel because they have a room with a big hot tub. But it was a big disappointment. The water source for this tub is a kitchen type faucet, which does not work for a big tub. It took hours just to fill one-fourth of it, and water coming out was not hot enough. And even if it were hot enough, the hours that it will take to fill the tub would eventually make the water cold. It was too late that we realized this so we ended up not using it. There were a lot of things wrong with this tub. When you want to soak in a hot tub, it would only take a few minutes before the water turns cold, so you would want to drain some water, and refill with hot water several times. But clearly with the type of faucet they put there, that was impossible.
Another thing, when we were eating our breakfast, the owner was smoking in the next table.」

「This place is a one of a kind stay, if you've never been to China, this stay will put you in awe. This stay is more if a homestay owned by families. Rich with ******* heritage and hospitality. We were quite surprised that they said to just go upstairs and choose any room we liked 🤣. We really enjoyed our stay although the amenities were quite lacking but just enough. At night we were asking the owner if there is any nearby convenience store to buy some snacks but all stores were closed at the time. But the very kind uncle (owner) invited us to walk with him to his friend's store in the village. The store was closed but he called his friend to open the shop just for us ♥️. Overall a once in a lifetime memorable experience. 👍」
