Simple but delicious breakfast.

The views from our room.

The "elephant" hill

Minsu owner helped us to take a lot of photos

There is a little bamboo forest beside the minsu. Great place for photo taking.

Love my stay at seasonstar. It is a very pretty minsu with friendly owners. It is a good place to just sit back and relax and enjoy the fantastic view without feeling bored.

The minsu owner and taxi driver was not touristy at all.

The itinerary was catered to your needs and they are also friendly and ready to help out.

The food was simple but delicious.
