AaaaaaaaliOur stay at this hotel was the most wonderful experience of our trip to China. ❤️✨ I recommend staying multiple nights, as it allows you to relax in nature and experience Chinese culture!
The friendly staff, the beautiful grounds that evoke Chinese tradition and nature, the wide range of interactive activities like hot springs and calligraphy, and the very friendly cats all made our stay extremely comfortable and enjoyable.
Transportation
While many people use their cars, we took a taxi from Shangrao Station using a ride-hailing app! The trip took just under an hour and cost 102.21 CNY (approximately 2,200 JPY). On the way back, taxis were hard to come by, so we scheduled one in advance using the app.
Room
Waking up to the view of the mountains and autumn leaves, I felt like I was in the happiest place on earth. The bed was large, and there was a tea set, kettle, mini-fridge, and speaker.
If we had any questions or concerns about the room, we were always able to communicate with the staff via WeChat, and they were always very helpful.
・Hotel Experiences
There's a hot spring bath on-site, which you can use once during your stay. The bathtub is huge and has a fantastic atmosphere! At first, the water was too hot, so I had them adjust it, but the cold water came from below, so the temperature at the top didn't change easily. I thought it would have been convenient to have a board or stick to stir the water. We also had the opportunity to try calligraphy and afternoon tea! The calligraphy session was held in a room with an open, Chinese-inspired atmosphere, which was very relaxing.
・Food
Breakfast was included, and we were able to enjoy a variety of Chinese-style dishes! We were very satisfied with the noodles, bread, vegetables, fruit, dim sum, and more. Dinner was also available to order separately. The flavors were mild and delicious! It was so big I couldn't finish it, so I took it back to my room for a late-night snack. 😌
・Sightseeing in the Area
On the second day, we went to Wangxian Valley! I couldn't get a ride-hailing app to work, so the staff called a taxi for us both ways. It was just under an hour's drive, and we were thrilled to enjoy the spectacular views and delicious food. We had planned to take other walks and hikes in the area, but the hotel was so good we couldn't resist. ❤️
Once again, this hostel was truly amazing—the facilities, the nature, and, most of all, the staff! Thank you so much for being so kind to us, even though we don't speak Chinese. I'd love to come back here again for another relaxing trip surrounded by nature. 🇨🇳
