Scenic Hotels in Zhenning

"Kaiyuan Mingdu lives up to its reputation as a big-brand hotel chain; the quality is truly guaranteed! It's incredibly close to Huangguoshu Scenic Area, just a 5-minute taxi ride, making getting around super convenient. Upon arrival, they thoughtfully upgraded our room for free. The room was comfortable, and the view was excellent. Traveling with kids means more needs, and the hotel staff were incredibly responsive to every request, providing bed rails and footstools, which made our family stay very reassuring. The breakfast selection was incredibly rich, with dishes adjusted daily, and the taste was spot on. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend this hotel when visiting Huangguoshu!"

"Although the hotel is a bit old, all its facilities are well-maintained, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The hotel's customer service is very responsive. The best part, however, is its incredibly prime location. At 7:00 AM, it only takes 7 minutes to get directly from the hotel's VIP通道 (VIP access) to the Shuiliandong (Water Curtain Cave) face-recognition area. Essentially, apart from hotel guests, the large crowds haven't arrived yet, so the experience is fantastic. After visiting Shuiliandong and the Grand Waterfall, you can take the escalator straight back up to the hotel, have breakfast, rest a bit, and then continue to your next destination. The hotel also offers a 'God's-eye view' panoramic observation deck of the Grand Waterfall, just a 15-minute walk away. You can choose to go in the morning when there are no crowds to enjoy the view. Overall, the sightseeing experience is very relaxed. I stayed for two nights, and both times I chose to see the sights and take photos in the morning when there were hardly any people. Around 5 PM, I used the VIP access to walk down to the Grand Waterfall, strolled to the viewing platform, and even saw a rainbow. By then, the number of tourists had significantly reduced, making for another excellent experience."

"This is one of the larger chain hotels located near Huangguoshu Waterfall. **Location:** It's about 1.5km from the Tourist Center. The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from the Tourist Center every hour on the hour; you can book in advance at the front desk. The hotel is situated on a large uphill slope, with no restaurants or supermarkets nearby. You'll need to eat at the Tourist Center before returning to the hotel. **Breakfast:** It's decent, nothing special. Seating can be very tight when tour groups are present. We had a sour soup hotpot for dinner one night; it was expensive compared to local prices, and the taste was just average. **Pros:** The rooms are quite spacious, the mattress is very comfortable, and the hygiene is good. **Cons:** The hotel does not differentiate between smoking and non-smoking floors. There was a lingering cigarette smell in our room, and for several consecutive nights, there was a smoke smell in the hallway that seeped into our room through the door crack. The trash cans near the elevators always had cigarette butts, which I was very dissatisfied with. There's a lapse in management and a lack of attention to managing smokers; they just tolerate it, using the excuse that they cannot interfere with guests smoking in their rooms. There was noise from vehicles on the street audible in the room, and the air conditioning units and water pumps on the roof of a nearby annex building were also noisy. Additionally, there's a fire station nearby, so you'll hear morning exercises and shouting slogans early in the morning."

"It was my first time staying at Jianglu and I was deeply impressed. First of all, the environment is unique and full of wildness, but the facilities are complete, including a swimming pool, study, Zen room, tea room, coffee bar, laundry room, and many experience activities, such as wax dyeing, boiling tea around the stove, making local specialties, feeding rabbits... In addition, the restaurant service is excellent, the breakfast variety is rich, and the beef rice noodles are so delicious! The prices for ordering food in the store are also very affordable. The most important thing is the meticulous service. There are multiple varieties of fruits, drinks, good night desserts, late night porridge and milk every day, and every staff member is super friendly. It is truly a secluded outdoor paradise. Even though I stayed there for three nights, I still couldn’t bear to leave."

"I stayed in two hotels in Huangguoshu. The two are too good to compare this. It is very new and clean. The hotel is very design. I saw the boss and stayed happily for two nights. The disposable bath towels, towels, bathtubs, toilet sets, etc. are all equipped. The children's slippers and toiletries look very good, not perfunctory, the boss and staff are very enthusiastic, although not far from the scenic spot, a short walk will arrive, but we go to Huangguoshu Scenic Area back and forth to the boss to pick us up, directly to the entrance of the scenic spot, Children like the pool the most. It is very diligent to change water. It is worthy of my choice of hotels. It is highly recommended. Like the boss 👍👍👍👍👍"

"This hotel boasts an excellent location, less than a 5-minute walk from the No. 3 sightseeing bus stop, which is the closest stop to the scenic area. The hotel facilities are very new, and the management style resembles that of a large chain hotel. Room service is handled by robots. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the bed is very comfortable and spacious. The hotel has its own underground parking lot, making it very convenient for those traveling by car. There's a food street right across from the hotel, so dining is super easy. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Huangguoshu. On our first day, we entered the park around 3 PM, avoiding the peak crowds. We visited the Great Waterfall, Doupotang, and even got a bird's-eye view, and there weren't many people around. On the second day, we woke up early and took the sightseeing bus to Tianxingqiao around 6:40 AM. It was very uncrowded, and there was no congestion at all. We had finished our visit and returned to the hotel by 9:30 AM. This off-peak travel strategy was fantastic. Huangguoshu Waterfall is definitely worth a visit; it's truly magnificent. The hotel's excellent location also contributed greatly to our experience."

"After days of research, I'm so glad I chose to stay within the scenic area instead of Anshun city. The ”blue hour” view from the rooftop observation deck was incredibly therapeutic. The hotel offers shuttle service to the visitor center from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and the spacious business van was very comfortable. The driver even proactively asked us where we wanted to go and added us on WeChat for easy communication. Dining was also convenient; there are plenty of eateries just outside the hotel, or you can order in if you prefer. They even have a washing machine and dryer. The room itself was very spacious and excellent!"
