2-Star Hotels in Yan'an

Thanks again to Sister Lian for your sincere hospitality. There were 9 people in our family, including 4 elders and me, who drove from Xi'an to Yulin and booked 5 cave-dwelling double rooms at Sister Lian's house. Unexpectedly, the weather was not good. After arriving at Ganquan, we found that there was a level 7 gale, it was cloudy and rainy, and the temperature dropped to 10 degrees. We suddenly decided to cancel our plan to visit the Grand Canyon that day and drive directly to our next stop, Yan'an. At this time, we had already given up the prepaid deposit (after all, Ctrip indicated that it was non-cancellable, and Lian Jie also sent a WeChat message at noon saying that she had already bought the dishes we had reserved for dinner). Unexpectedly, after learning that we wanted to cancel the reservation, Sister Lian immediately refunded the deposit in full without saying a word; when I was still hesitating whether to receive the refund, Sister Lian called me three times in a row to ”threaten me” that she would continue to harass me until I received the refund. In the end, our whole family decided to stay one night at Sister Lian’s house on the way back to Xi’an. Three days later, on a sunny afternoon, we returned to Ganquan again. When we drove into a slightly barren village and walked into the narrow path leading to her yard, the sanitary conditions and environment of this homestay still made me somewhat uneasy. But when I saw Sister Lian’s brilliant smile and walked into the cave she had carefully prepared, all my worries disappeared in an instant. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the cleanest homestay I have ever seen. The decoration is simple, with two 2-meter beds, clean bedding/bath towels, empty suite, bathroom heater and water heater. What I find most incredible is the marble floor of the B&B. On this loess plateau with flying sand, it can be cleaned spotlessly by Sister Lian (cleaner than the floor of my home in Shanghai). For dinner, we enjoyed 8 dishes and 1 soup specially prepared by Sister Lian according to our taste requirements, plus the big rooster she raised. The whole family was very satisfied with the taste. After dinner, we sat together in Sister Lian’s yard, drinking wine and chatting with Sister Lian about family matters (this night was definitely the happiest night of our trip). The cave was very quiet at night, and we didn’t hear the crowing of the big rooster raised by Sister Lian in the morning (which made us very puzzled). Lian Jie’s family has a total of 6 cave dwellings, one of which is for her own use. It is located in a small village 2 kilometers behind the entrance of Ganquan Grand Canyon Scenic Area. This location is particularly inconspicuous, because most tourists will definitely choose the larger Xia Siwan County 2/3 kilometers before the scenic area or some cave homestays at the entrance of the scenic area. If you want to find a relatively quiet and tidy small homestay and experience the sincerity, simplicity and enthusiasm of the rural people in northern Shaanxi, then Lianjie is definitely your best choice.

The room exceeded my expectations! The linen was pristine white, and both the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. There was absolutely none of the dust or dampness commonly associated with farm stays, making it feel as safe and comfortable as home. Their vegetables are incredibly fresh, harvested right from the garden. I personally watched the owner picking leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes from their own vegetable patch – they were vibrant green and glistening with dew. Once stir-fried, a delightful aroma filled the air. The texture was delightfully crisp and the flavor refreshing and sweet – a genuine, natural taste you simply can't get in the city. Even the kids couldn't get enough of it! For cleanliness, comfort, and amazing fresh farm-to-table food, you can't go wrong choosing this place! It's especially suitable for families, offering healthy meals and a worry-free stay.

It's right next to the Ganquan Grand Canyon bus stop, extremely close. The main gate faces the boarding area, and there's a large courtyard for convenient parking. Restaurants aren't very convenient nearby; you'll have to go to town to eat. They do have a restaurant during peak season, but when we went it was off-season, though they still served breakfast. The rooms are spacious, with a charming cave dwelling style, and they even had lots of succulents. The landlady was incredibly welcoming! The next day, after we finished exploring the Grand Canyon, we came back to pick up our car. The sheets and blankets from the previous night had already been washed and dried – very clean!

The owner was very welcoming and efficient, providing excellent pick-up and drop-off service and even helping with photos. The courtyard was meticulously decorated with modern, fully smart facilities. They also offered unique costumes for tourists to take photos, providing a truly authentic Shaanxi cave dwelling experience. The only downside was the unclear signage at the entrance. The house was located a bit deep inside, and I almost couldn't find it. It would be best to add a sign.

We went to Ganquan Canyon during the autumn holidays. We decided to stay near the entrance. The hospitality of the owners was fantastic. Despite the language barrier, we were able to understand each other easily. They provided entrance tickets on our behalf while we enjoyed an excellent, wholesome breakfast of vegetables from the garden. The room is big and clean. Highly recommended!

We booked the Hanting Hotel for our trip to Hukou Waterfall with our child. The room was clean and bright, the bedding was so comfortable that our child fell asleep immediately, and the heating was so strong it felt like the warm sunshine of northern Shaanxi had been brought into the room. Surprisingly, the hotel had a screen mirroring feature, which was very nice! There's a local food street downstairs, and the hotel breakfast was quite good, with noodles and steamed buns, which our child enjoyed very much. The lobby was spacious and airy, making it a comfortable place for our family to wait for our bus and relax. Our comfortable stay made the view of Hukou Waterfall even more spectacular! Especially considering its proximity to Hukou, it's the perfect hotel for a trip to Hukou.

It's located directly across from Yan'an Train Station and next to the bus terminal, making it convenient for intercity travel. While the accommodations are inexpensive, they don't offer the usual bottled water and require a 100 yuan deposit. I've stayed at dozens of hotels in China, but this was the first time I've been asked for a deposit. Yan'an is the starting point for my trip to the Wucha Grand Canyon.

It's in the outskirt and was restful & quiet when we reached the venue in the evening 8pm. The aircon is good to keep us comfortably warm at nite especially the warm air in the shower area... we don't feel much chill when showering. The Standard Room is a little tight for us but enough to spread our 2 luggages- one Large &1 small. The breakfast is inclusive and they were simple but very nutritious ... 五谷粥 and several veggies and eggs.

The hotel front desk staff has a good attitude. The hotel is located in the center of the county. Parking is convenient and check-in is quick. The room is large, with free mineral water and breakfast. The facilities are complete and the price is relatively affordable. At the same time, there are preferential policies for current and retired military personnel.
