Homestays in Jiangxi, China

I really loved the simple and elegant decor of the room. The owner, an auntie, was incredibly warm and friendly! I'd give her a perfect 100! I stayed in the 'Xiao Man' room, which was newly renovated and really nice, plus it had smart home features throughout. The cleanliness was spotless, making my stay incredibly reassuring. The air conditioning was cool, and I slept soundly all night. The next day when we were leaving, we forgot something, and the auntie actually reminded us herself. I'll definitely choose this guesthouse again next time!!! This area is also a lot of fun, I highly recommend everyone to come and visit!!

Clean and hygienic, the boss is very enthusiastic, can park, can wash, slippers are generally in the four-star five-star hotel to appear in the proportion of high, the homestay has such hygiene and supplies is very good, the price is so close to the people, it is recommended to stay. Driving to the scenic spot for ten minutes, eating a street at the door.

I want to start by sincerely thanking the uncle who works at this homestay for all his hospitality and attention. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were very well treated and taken care of. I will definitely remember our stay in Wangxian and hopefully come back to see the uncle. My partner and I visited from Canada and I speak very little mandarin. Despite this, the uncle and the other residents of the neighborhood were very patient and helpful when communicating. The check-in process was electronic. You scan the uncle’s QR code with your WeChat and register your information. For foreigners, it would be helpful to have WeChat running before arriving. The check-in was in Chinese, but I just screenshot the page and translated it and had no problems. We stayed in room 301, it was a double room and true to the pictures. The cleanliness was good and it was quite confortable. There are large windows for lots of sun. The water is hot and the AC is functional, no complaints. The homestay is very well located about a 10 minute drive from the Wangxian scenic area, and roughly an hour from Shangrao station. In the vicinity, there are many restaurants and a little supermarket. Since it was quiet the night we checked-in, the uncle took us to visit the town nearby and gave us lots of recommendations for our visit such as going to the scenic area in the afternoon, and staying until the lights come on to see the night view. We had dinner in the neighbour’s restaurant as recommended by the uncle. The food was home-cooked and the quantities were generous. Although we ate at the neighbour’s, the uncle also has some food and beverages you can buy, as well as some tables where you can eat. Later in the evening, the uncle and neighbours invited us to sit with them and we shared some great moments together. The next morning, the uncle had prepared a very typical Chinese breakfast for us to try. We then went up to the scenic area around midday and came back around 7pm. When we came back, we had dinner in the neighbour’s restaurant again and shared some more moments with them. The uncle and neighbours helped us coordinate transportation to our next location and gave us recommendations to better enjoy our next destination which we followed and it turned out great thanks to them. The community is what makes this place charming and I recommend it to anyone.

Advantages The B&B is in the mountains, very quiet, the air is very good, the overall decoration is very warm, the room is quite clean, the courtyard is also very comfortable, there are two small swings, the boiled eggs for breakfast are delicious, tender and fragrant, and the white rice porridge is also well cooked. Disadvantages The room is small, the four pillows are very hard, and it is not easy to sleep. There is no TV in the room, and the sound insulation is very poor. Living on the first floor, you can hear the front desk calling when you close the door. I don’t know if the overall environment is too quiet. The bathroom is very cramped. The water temperature was very low when I took a shower around 10 o’clock. It was estimated to be 37 or 38 degrees. The air conditioning effect was not good when I took a cold shower. Glorious cold😷

The house was clean and tidy, and the landlady was incredibly welcoming. She helped us find a shared ride as soon as we got off the train, and then personally picked us up near the scenic area to take us to our hotel, saving us the trouble of taking the cable car up the mountain. She even helped us with our luggage. Whenever we saw the family, they always greeted us with smiles, which warmed our hearts. I highly recommend their food; it was delicious and inexpensive. They also helped us call a car when we left. Of course, Huangling is also very beautiful. It was a very happy day.

Shuttle service from Wangxian Valley Scenic Area entrance to the guesthouse: The owner offers convenient pick-up and drop-off. Service: Great. The breakfast was delicious, and there are many restaurants nearby. It's very close to the scenic area, the property is brand new and spotless, and the room is quite spacious, making it easy to store luggage.

I think I’m pretty good at finding hotels. All the way out here in the U.S., I actually managed to find this traditional-style guesthouse that you can’t even see from the road 😄. It’s wheat harvest season right now, so the owners had given their staff time off, but because we were coming, one of the owners traveled all the way from Shanghai just to host us. 🌹 Her name is Ms. Peng—she’s a university graduate from 1981 and a professional architectural designer. She designed the entire guesthouse herself. Every corner here is beautiful, and I can’t even take photos fast enough to capture it all.

The place is super clean and tidy, and the owner is really welcoming and helpful. They even offer shuttle services to and from the scenic spots. The guesthouse itself is perfectly located – it's quiet despite being central, not directly on a busy street, which is fantastic. Seriously, great value for money!

An unforgettable stay in a truly unique room. The space was crazy in the best way, super big, spacious, and incredibly comfy. The bathtub right in the middle of the room was such a bold and luxurious touch, and having a projector in the bedroom made evenings feel like a private cinema. Everything felt open, airy, and thoughtfully designed for relaxation. The room also featured a beautiful balcony, which would be perfect to enjoy in warmer weather. Unfortunately, due to the cold temperatures during our stay, we didn’t get the chance to fully enjoy it, but it is definitely a lovely addition to the space. The owner was exceptionally kind and helpful. He offered to carry our luggage up to the top floor, which we really appreciated. He also dropped us off at Wangxian Valley for free and picked us up again when we finished, a gesture that made our visit incredibly smooth and stress free. A few very minor notes, mentioned only for completeness in an otherwise excellent stay: the room is on the 4th floor and accessed by stairs, which may be something to keep in mind for older guests or anyone with limited mobility, although the owner is more than willing to assist. We slightly missed having basic breakfast or tea and coffee utensils. We only had a water heater and paper cups available. We also stayed during a cold wave with temperatures between -2 and 4°C, and while the AC worked, it struggled a bit to fully heat such a large space. Lastly, we only had disposable towels and one face towel, and would have appreciated standard bath towels. Overall, these small details did not take away from the experience. A beautiful, memorable stay with outstanding hospitality, highly recommended for travelers looking for something unique, spacious, and comfortable

We came for a biking holiday. We stayed 4 nights. We left every morning on a different biking route. Lots of roads and villages. We each had a guest room. I was disappointed that I had the smallest room but they thought I wanted to be on the same floor as my friends. They moved me to the 2nd floor and now I had the same HUGE place as my friends. In the sitting room, is an L-shaped couch. It pulls out as a bed. So I guess this room could fit up to 4 people. The shower is huge. There is plenty of space to wash our bikes. The sauna/hot air thing was great for drying our clothes too! Had we been more people, we probably would have rented one of the bigger places and shared instead of getting our own guest rooms. It's fairly quiet. Breakfast was served in a separate traditional building. Normal Chinese breakfast, but asked for the noodles with the fried eggs! The kitchen staff were very accommodating when we asked if we could have breakfast at 7 am. Also, we asked for a late check-out because we wanted to shower after our ride. They let each of us have our rooms till 4pm at no charge. It would be great if the stone tiles could be power washed as it was quite slippery when it rained. I didn't have my driver's license but I needed to go pick up my friend and his broken bike. So I went back to ask the manager if he could drive our car 35 km to pick up my friend. He was happy to drive me! The sign to the guest house was not installed but if you look for the castle-like building, you'll find it. It was tricky getting to the hotel because we arrived late and it was absolutely chucking down with rain. This is a great, gorgeous place if you want peace and quiet. My room had a river view. Great for relaxation. Highly recommend this place.
