Natural Renjia Inn

Loved my stay at this peaceful, simple hotel. This is the perfect place for the traveler wanting hiking, lovely views, and a quiet setting. Each morning I enjoyed tea on the patio with a view of the Mountains overlooking a garden and revine filled with birds! see picture. It was a .25-mile walk down the community stairs and another .25 miles through the community, with a couple of restaurants, to the South entrance of the park. The south gate entrance has NO lines, a nice convenience store, and some of the best hikes in the park- one flat along a river and one straight up, both with amazing views. However, the reason for fewer people is the bus service from this gate is limited. The hotel is more of a homestay. The simple room has all the basic, large bed and on-suite bathroom. The tall ceilings and a window give the room a larger feel. This is not your place if you are planning to ride the bus in the park, want a busy nightlife or western toilets.

For me this place is a big No ! It’s far to expensive for what it is. Cny 78 for a room and chinese squats toilet. It’s winter with close to zero 0 temperatures and the host did not let me use the AC / heater! Walls are dirty and the location is very inconvenient. If you have a backpack it’s easy but with luggage- it was difficult. No direct street access. Walking up many steep stairs with all luggages from the city street and when one is for up to 6 month in China between school location hopping - one has a little more luggage. Big plus. Old couple are very helpful, sweet and friendly and helped with the luggage. But they did not know how to do the check in. They don’t provide water to drink - usually all places provide 2 small bottles. They did not offer any dinner nor breakfast - even for extra charge. No real farm experience where you can taste any farm dishes. All in all. To expensive ! Plus. Bathroom is even sharing with another room. It’s a big no. Got that price !

The room was okay. There's no elevator. I was disappointed that they didn't provide drinking water and suggested that I boil unfiltered tap water.

The host is nice, works at park, self check in available by appointment. Strategic located outside south gate, accept foreigner. Best for hiking lover, book 3 nights to explore all scenic area, without cableway, zero cost as advised by the host, highly recommended.
