Anonymous UserThis place has its own dedicated parking, conveniently located right behind Xinzhou Ancient City, making it super easy to get around. Charging and fueling your car is a breeze. You can bring back anything you buy in the ancient city and enjoy it at your leisure in your room. The private hot spring in the courtyard was a great experience – perfect for soaking while munching on snacks and sipping tea. It even has a retractable roof with lights, so you can enjoy it at night too. The service was top-notch; they provided a pet gift package and a welcome gift, which our dog loved! The staff were incredibly responsive, charming, and generous. We'll definitely be back!

Guest UserFor accommodation in Pingyao Ancient City, seriously, just book Chengfu JinYuan!
It's a courtyard transformed from an old Jin merchant's mansion, full of ancient charm yet not outdated. The courtyard scenery is absolutely picturesque, offering tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, guaranteeing a super peaceful night's sleep.
The location is truly unbeatable – very close to the main street, making it easy to go out and explore, yet far enough from the noise when you return to the courtyard. The rooms are spotless, the bedding is soft, and the bathroom facilities are clean and functional, ensuring maximum comfort.
I have to specifically praise the service; it was attentive and considerate throughout, without being intrusive. When guests were dining, they would proactively offer appropriate utensils and even brought warm millet porridge – these small details truly warmed my heart. They also provided travel routes for outings and offered pickup/drop-off services upon arrival.
It's not overly commercialized, full of human warmth. Staying here in Pingyao is an absolute no-brainer; I'll definitely choose this place for my next trip! The beef noodles are incredibly delicious.

Guest UserThe room was clean, tidy, and modern, fully equipped with everything you could need. It offered excellent value for money and a great location. There's a dedicated shuttle service for both check-in and check-out that takes you directly to the hotel. After a 5-minute walk down a small alley, you're right on the bustling South Street, making it a perfectly quiet retreat amidst the action. The hotel is very high-class, the bedding is incredibly comfortable, and they even offered a clothing experience. The front desk staff and all the other employees were incredibly friendly. Plus, there was free afternoon tea, fruit, and a complimentary souvenir. Overall, it's the most satisfying hotel we've stayed at recently 😊😊.

Guest UserI randomly picked this courtyard hotel while visiting Datong Volcanoes, and it turned out to be an absolute hidden gem! Here's my honest review.
I planned to stay two nights in Datong, and owner Sister Wang was incredibly responsive to all my questions beforehand, usually replying within two minutes – communication was a breeze. The entire Chinese-style courtyard is exceptionally elegant. At night, the string lights under the eaves create a fantastic ambiance. Surrounded by fields and distant mountains, it's peaceful and quiet, a welcome escape from city noise, allowing me to completely relax.
What impressed me most was the private hot spring in the room. It's natural live water drawn from under the volcano, available 24/7. You get to enjoy it all to yourself, guaranteeing maximum privacy. After a long drive, my body was sore and stiff, but soaking in the hot spring brought warmth to my limbs, and my skin felt smooth. All the fatigue from the road instantly melted away. A short soak before bed led to a wonderfully deep sleep.
The fact that we could barbecue in the courtyard was a delightful surprise. We didn't bring a grill or charcoal, but the hosts had everything prepared, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. In the evening, sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the mountain breeze while grilling, we didn't want to go back inside until it was dark. The experience was truly top-notch.
The stay included two breakfasts, and I must praise the local daylily dish served. It was fragrant, flavorful, refreshing, and not greasy – a perfect appetizing start to the day, full of local flavor. The guesthouse also has its own dining hall, so if you don't feel like going out to a restaurant, you can just order food there, which is convenient and practical.
The room facilities are also comprehensive. The TV supports screen mirroring from your phone, so watching shows in bed was no problem at all. The attention to detail is truly thoughtful.
This B&B is right at the foot of the volcano, and it's a short drive to explore the volcanic clusters and Haotian Temple. During the day, you can enjoy the mountain scenery and watch the sunset; in the evening, you can return to the courtyard for a private hot spring soak and barbecue. The pace is slow and unhurried. There's free parking at the entrance, so no worries about spaces if you're driving. The entire place was spotlessly clean, and all bedding and toiletries were provided. It's clear the owner genuinely puts a lot of heart into running this place.
These two nights were comfortable and relaxing, with the private hot spring, courtyard barbecue, and authentic breakfast all covered. It's perfect whether you're traveling solo for some peace or gathering with friends. Next time I'm in the Datong Volcano area, I'll definitely choose Lanting again!

Guest UserI'm an overseas Chinese from Australia. This time, coming to Datong, I truly experienced the culture of Chinese quadrangle courtyards. Also, in this homestay, I enjoyed the massage service, which was really wonderful. The courtyard design of this homestay is excellent, and the service staff are very enthusiastic. I love it here so much. If it weren't for the rush to go back to Australia, I really would like to stay here for a long time.

This hotel is located within the ancient city scenic area, close to an underground parking lot, and not far from Xiurong Academy. There's a bar nearby, which can be a bit noisy, but it didn't bother my sleep. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to check with the hotel in advance. For late-night snacks, they offer congee and pre-packaged snacks like Daliyuan mini breads and biscuits. The breakfast spread is quite comprehensive, though there aren't many hot dishes. The hotel staff are all very polite and provide excellent service, and they even gave me a small souvenir when I checked out. Overall, I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10.

SudashuiquanquanWe stayed at the Xinzhou Anyin Hot Spring Resort with our two 70-year-old parents for two nights. Our entire family was delighted with our experience. The service, ambiance, and dining all exceeded our expectations.
From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism. They checked us in quickly and attentively, proactively inquiring about our needs and providing a detailed introduction to the hotel's amenities. The bellhops were also very welcoming, helping with our luggage and putting our elderly parents at ease. This attentive service made us feel right at home the moment we arrived.
Overall, our stay was a perfect one. Whether you're taking your parents on vacation or simply relaxing yourself, Anyin Hot Spring Resort is an excellent choice. With its attentive service, elegant ambiance, and delicious food, our family is already planning a return visit! We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality stay in the ancient city of Xinzhou!

Guest UserAfter several days of travel, staying here was perfect for a hot spring soak to wash away the fatigue. The night view is absolutely stunning, and the architecture is just like the Wang Family Compound. You can even walk along the city wall, which is very pleasant. I slept incredibly well – the bedding was comfortable, and the environment was quiet, so I slept right through until morning. Waking up to the sound of birds was a lovely experience. No need to worry about meals; the in-house Chinese restaurant charges the same prices as outside establishments, and the service is warm. The Wang family started with tofu, and here you can enjoy authentic Wang Family tofu with a very unique flavor. For parking or taxis, head directly to the underground parking lot. You can ask the concierge to help with your luggage. Since it's an ancient building, elevators cannot be installed, so expect to use stairs.
