DAIAO RESORT

The hotel, newly opened this year, boasts fresh facilities. Unfortunately, despite closing windows and doors, there was an unavoidable scent of new renovation. Opening the windows brought in insects, as there were no screens installed, though the hotel did provide an air purifier we could run. Our suite was on the top floor, with high ceilings that made it feel very spacious and bright. The room decor followed the popular modern, minimalist style. However, the sink design was flawed – aesthetically pleasing but impractical – leading to poor drainage and water constantly pooling in the basin. Furthermore, our room faced a rural road, and across the road, a local villager kept over a dozen chickens and geese. Starting at 3 AM, roosters crowed intermittently, disrupting our sleep. For nearly 2,000 yuan, not being able to guarantee a peaceful night's rest certainly dampened the overall experience. The hotel's proximity to Daiao Mountain Scenic Area's main entrance, just a few minutes' walk, was a major plus. Even during the National Day holiday, compared to other popular attractions, this scenic area had very few visitors. For those of us who prefer quiet, dislike crowds, and want to avoid peak holiday traffic, staying here was an excellent choice. Besides its closeness to the scenic area, dining options were also convenient. The hotel itself offers dining, though at a premium price. About 700 meters before reaching the hotel, on the left side of the road, there's a family-run restaurant called Daiao Mountain Eatery. We chose to dine there, and after several lunches and dinners, found the food to be delicious and good value for money, so dining was not an issue. The hotel organized many activities for guests, such as morning Baduanjin exercises and handmade sachet workshops, showing the hotel's thoughtful efforts. There's also a swimming pool, which guests were still using even in early autumn. The hotel is well-managed, and the staff are all proactive and enthusiastic. Upon checkout, they thoughtfully presented us with a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake gift box. Lujiang boasts beautiful lake and mountain scenery and rich tourism resources. High-end hotels and guesthouses have developed rapidly in recent years, especially after being integrated into Hefei's urban area. We sincerely hope Lujiang's tourism and hospitality industries flourish and that Lujiang becomes a beloved retreat for Hefei residents.

The room was very clean and the environment was great. It felt quite new, probably opened this year. The hotel food was really delicious! We also got to experience making sachets and bracelets by hand, and the kids had a lot of fun!

The front desk staff, especially Xiao Xiang, provided excellent service; she was incredibly warm and friendly. The new hotel is very clean. I'll definitely be back next time.

This was a spontaneous trip, just an hour's drive from Hefei. The environment is exactly as advertised, truly the best hotel in the Daiao Mountain scenic area. The most pleasant surprise was the service; someone came to help with our luggage as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, and welcome fruits were already set up in our room. Our two days at the hotel were quiet and relaxing. We even made traditional Chinese medicine sachets, which had a very healing scent, and enjoyed a singing bowl session. The distant sound of the bells 🔔 was quite memorable. A special shout-out to Buyun Restaurant – we ate there two days in a row! The breakfast had a wide variety and beautiful presentation, and the specialty dishes for lunch and dinner were delicious. There was a 30-minute wait for food, which just showed that everything was freshly cooked to order. On the second day, we hiked up Daiao Mountain, reaching the summit in 30 minutes – the perfect amount of exercise.

The rooms were exceptionally clean, with high ceilings and spacious layouts. The food selection was extensive, and the front desk staff and servers were all friendly and provided excellent service. The kids absolutely loved it, and we'll definitely be back!

My parents, my partner, and I came from Hefei city to Lujiang for a weekend staycation. Our top priority was finding a place that met everyone's needs. [Facility and Service Needs] - Accommodation 🏠 My husband and I work hard, so for our vacation, we just wanted a place with good air, excellent service, and convenient facilities where we could relax. We chose the Guanshanfang, which has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking green hills and a pond. When we opened the windows, the sounds of birds and insects, along with a gentle breeze, filled the room – it was incredibly soothing. - Dining 🍽️ The hotel has an in-house restaurant that serves three meals a day. Breakfast is complimentary, while other meals are self-paid, costing around 100+ RMB per person. The menu offers a good variety, and considering we didn't have to leave the hotel, the food quality and price were acceptable. - Service The staff throughout the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Anything we needed could be delivered to our room, and they patiently answered our questions and offered guidance regarding travel advice and everyday queries. On busy weekends, things occasionally felt a bit rushed, likely because the hotel is relatively new and still finding its rhythm. - Getting Around For those who enjoy hiking and sightseeing, there's a mountain about 500m from the hotel suitable for trekking, with a temple at the summit. Additionally, about 10 kilometers away, you can access the Lunan Chuanzang Scenic Route for a scenic drive up to Zhaiji Mountain for some breathtaking views. My parents thoroughly enjoyed it. If you plan on exploring, driving is recommended. - Other Amenities The hotel features a swimming pool, gym, and laundry room. They also offer sound healing and handmade sachet workshops. Even if you don't venture out, there's enough to keep you occupied and entertained for at least a day within the hotel. I hope they'll add sports facilities like a badminton court in the future, which would surely attract even more guests. Overall, we were very happy we chose Daiaoshanju for this trip; it's definitely worth a visit.

The hotel staff were very welcoming, and the hygiene was excellent, clean and tidy. The hotel's decor has a great style, and the environment is superb. The front desk lady was also very enthusiastic, and the room offered great value for money! It was a very comfortable and pleasant stay, and I would come again if I have the chance.

This is a beautiful and thoughtful hotel. From the front desk service to the butler and the quality of the restaurant's food, you can feel the systematic training and careful attention to detail. It's considered a high-standard new hotel in Hefei. When checking out, I wrote a blessing on a red ribbon, wishing them continued success.
