It's a 5-minute walk to key scenic spots like Qingyun Bridge, and you can catch a stunning sunset from the rooftop in the evening. The breakfast at Baihe Restaurant is delicious. You can also visit the百年围楼 (Centennial Enclosed Building) to enjoy freshly prepared Qianshan noodles while watching Gan Opera, making for a truly memorable experience. Smart Hardware: As a newer phase, the rooms have upgraded hardware, generally featuring floor heating, smart toilets, and voice-controlled central systems. Stay Benefits: Typically includes two 2-day valid scenic area tickets, free parking, and complimentary shuttle service within the scenic area.

This resort, built into the mountains within a scenic area, boasts unique architectural styles and is definitely worth experiencing. For guests arriving by car, there's a dedicated parking area. You'll need to show your booking confirmation to enter, and staff are on hand to guide you every step of the way. The reception area is divided into sections for check-in, luggage arrangements (where staff will take your bags to your room), and a waiting area. During holidays, you might need to queue for check-in. After completing the check-in process, my room wasn't ready yet, so the front desk suggested I get a butler. This allowed me to explore the scenic area first and wait for the butler to notify me when my room key was ready. My butler, Xiaoxiong, was excellent, providing tour routes, dining and transportation information, and show schedules. I could ask about room details or anything else at any time, and she always responded promptly. The room was very comfortable, with cozy bedding. More pillow choices would be a nice addition. The bathroom had a dry/wet separation, and the automatic toilet seat sensor was very responsive. The only minor drawback was the lack of a place to put clothes while showering. Performances within the scenic area only start after 4 PM, and that's when the number of visitors gradually increases. Although snacks and restaurants are open all day and are well-planned with a variety of options without cutthroat competition, the food tastes even better when there's a lively atmosphere. The shows are performed multiple times in different areas, allowing for flexible scheduling. However, the evening light-up ceremony and bonfire performance happen only once and are definitely worth seeing. It gets crowded, so it's best to plan your viewing spot in advance. Important note: Bites from the small black insects in the scenic area took several days to subside and stop itching, so be sure to take preventative measures. Also, the scenic area is full of slopes and stairs, which can be tough on the legs. Guests with mobility issues should plan their itinerary carefully.

The front desk upgraded our room, and considering my elderly parents' mobility issues, they arranged a very convenient room for us. After entering the visitor center, someone helped us with our luggage the entire time. I'm so satisfied!

Choosing to stay inside the scenic area was a wise decision. The hotel offered great value for money; the room was very spacious and comfortable, the surroundings were beautiful, and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We really enjoyed the beauty of the area in the evenings and early mornings when there were no other tourists around.
