Qingming Festival Thousand Island Lake Trip | Zhi Ya Art Hotel: Lake View is Heavenly, but Hardware and Surcharges are a Reality Check Qingming Festival mini-break · 2-day/1-night genuine experience · Combined with real feedback from Dianping over the past month 🌤️ Qingming Weather and First Impressions: Intermittent Sun and Rain on the Lake My trip to Thousand Island Lake during Qingming was perfectly timed with the weather – warm and sunny during the day (12-25℃), slightly cool in the mornings and evenings, with occasional mist and light rain. The air was humid, the plants were green, and the lake was often shrouded in a light haze, giving it a distinct spring江南 (Jiangnan) charm. The hotel is on Wenxin Island, an independent island in the middle of the lake, surrounded by water on all sides. You park your car at the pier and take a shuttle bus to the island. I was immediately struck by the scenery upon arrival: a 270° lake view, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a spacious balcony. The sunset in the evening painted the lake in shades of orange and pink. There's no need to jostle with crowds at scenic spots; you can capture stunning photos right from the hotel terrace. The art-style lobby, old movie theme, spiral staircase, and art installations create a strong ambiance and are very photogenic. 🛏️ Rooms and Hardware: Views are Top-Notch, Facilities are a Bit Old • Pros: The room was spacious, the bedding was soft, and there was a large bathtub on the balcony. Opening the window revealed the lake, and on rainy days, snuggling in the room to watch the misty Thousand Island Lake was peaceful and therapeutic. The service attitude was good, the shuttle bus was available on call, and basic requests were quickly addressed. • Cons: 1. Facilities are noticeably old: The decor, furniture, door locks, bathroom fixtures, and TV all show their age. There are clear signs of wear and tear, and some details look quite dated. 2. Heavy dampness: Being on an island and with frequent rain during Qingming, the room, hallway, and carpet all had a musty smell. Clothes didn't dry, and the duvet felt a bit damp to the touch. 3. Gym is practically useless: The space is small, the equipment is severely aged, chipped, and makes loud noises, making it virtually impossible to get a proper workout. 💰 Price Complaint: Severe Holiday Surcharge The Qingming holiday surcharge was outrageously high, nearly 500 RMB more per night than on weekdays. The price doesn't match the hardware, and the value for money plummets. Recent reviews over the past month also frequently complain about the steep price hikes on weekends/holidays, suggesting that only off-peak prices are reasonable. 🍽️ Dining and Surroundings Breakfast was decent and filling. The Thousand Island Lake fish head and river shrimp at the lakeside restaurant were fresh. There's a Neverland Cafe on the island, offering a great ambiance for lakeside afternoon tea, but the prices are on the higher side. Once on the island, it's inconvenient to go out, so activities are mostly confined to the hotel. ✅ Summary and Recommendations (Genuine and Objective) Pros: Excellent lake views, stunning sunsets, quiet environment, strong artistic atmosphere, good service attitude. Cons: Old facilities, noticeable dampness, aged gym, severe holiday surcharge. Suitable for: Those who only want to take photos, enjoy the lake view, don't exercise, and prefer off-peak, lower-priced stays. Not recommended for: Friends with high demands for facilities, who want to exercise, or have a limited budget during holidays. 📝 Travel Tips 1. Thousand Island Lake has a large temperature difference between day and night during Qingming (10-25℃), so bring a light jacket. 2. Spring is rainy, and the island is humid, so bring dehumidifier packets and quick-drying clothes. 3. Be sure to choose a lake view room when checking in; the scenery is vastly different. 4. Strongly recommend going off-peak; the value for money is much better on weekdays.

Sunset at Xianshan Peninsula: It feels like an island with a single hotel. First day minibar experience: Plenty of Nongfu Spring water! First day welcome fruit: Peaches were hard. Haha. Service: The hotel has a shuttle bus to the high-speed rail station, which is great. It's about 50 meters straight out from the exit. The schedule is fixed, so you need to plan ahead. It's still more suitable for self-driving. Surroundings: It's very convenient to get to Pixiu Town. There are hot air balloons, go-karts, and water activities. There's also a beer museum to visit with many activities inside, the VR is quite good. However, it's inconvenient to go to other places. Suitable for a vacation if you don't want a crowded experience. Facilities: Both indoor and outdoor swimming pools are available. Cleanliness: Relatively clean. Special Feature: There's an instant noodle bar from 9 PM to 11:30 PM. It gets so crowded it makes you question your life choices.

We stayed in a twin room, and it was quite spacious. The hotel is very well-maintained, living up to its reputation as a family-friendly hotel; we didn't even need to leave all day. In the morning, before it got too hot, we went to the non-powered playground, then to the pet park to feed the animals. We also happened to catch a clown show, which the kids loved! Afterward, we went swimming in the pool; there's both an indoor and outdoor one, catering to both younger and older children. The lobby had various welcome balloons, and they even gave us little gifts like mosquito repellent bracelets. We'll definitely be back!

Traveling with family, I booked one standard room and one king room, on different floors. Both were originally balcony rooms, but the front desk said they upgraded us. However, the standard room was changed to one without a balcony, only adding a bathtub, and it was still on a different floor. I felt it wasn't worth the change. The king room with a balcony had a great view, where you could see the beautiful scenery of Qiandao Lake. The hotel breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and the staff were very friendly. Our butler, Zhang, was also very enthusiastic and responsive to our needs. I would recommend this hotel to my friends!

First off, let's talk about the location. The hotel is in an extremely remote area, to the point where you can't even get a taxi. Several times, drivers asked for an additional fee for the return trip, and later a driver told me that no one wants to go there because they'll definitely have to return empty. Delivery services can't reach it either, so if you're craving bubble tea, coffee, or any other drinks, you're out of luck and can only rely on what the hotel offers. If you absolutely have to go, it's only suitable for self-driving, but even then, it's a 20km drive to the city center, which is very inconvenient. Plus, if it rains, the roads leading there are prone to falling rocks, making it a bit dangerous. Now, regarding the hotel's pool. For such a large pool, there are only 6 chairs in the adult section and just 2 in the kids' section, so most people end up standing. After someone uses a chair by the pool, no cleaning staff immediately comes to tidy up, so cigarette butts and water bottles are left on the ground. Also, for some reason, there's a persistent, unpleasant smell near the adult section of the pool. The only positive point is that the overall service attitude of the room service staff was quite good.

Loved our family room—amazing lake and island views, quiet, with a great balcony. Big towels, clean bedding, and a fridge were nice touches. The lakeside dock, restaurant and picnic areas were perfect for swimming, eating and relaxing. Downsides: The pool (filled with cloudy slimy lake water) and its rundown messy area weren’t appealing. Hallway carpets and elevator had mold, needing deep cleaning. Still, great value for the location. Don’t really need the pool with the lake so close. We’d return but hope they address the maintenance issues.

My overall stay exceeded expectations. The hotel's location is excellent, making travel very convenient. The room was clean and tidy, with soft and comfortable bedding, and good soundproofing. All the bathroom amenities were provided, hot water was consistent, and the WiFi was smooth. The front desk staff were very welcoming and even helped upgrade my room. Housekeeping was prompt and thorough, and the common areas were neat and orderly. It offers great value for money, suitable for both business trips and leisure travel.

My stay at the Qiandao Lake Cozy Island Resort was a fantastic experience. The hotel facilities are well-equipped overall, and the guest rooms are clean and tidy, with housekeeping doing an excellent job. The staff were thoughtful, warm, and very friendly and attentive. I even received a complimentary fruit platter, which was a lovely touch. The in-house dining was delicious; the Chinese-style fish head soup I tried was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The daily amenities are also extensive, with a wide variety of free breakfast options in the morning and a pleasant outdoor BBQ experience available in the evening. The hotel is located on an island, offering a tranquil and peaceful environment away from the hustle and bustle. The overall atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxing, making it an ideal choice for a leisure vacation.

The price they offered on the second-to-last day of the National Day holiday was excellent, and they even upgraded my room for free to a non-street-facing room with a balcony. The experience exceeded my expectations for the price. The room and bed were comfortable and spacious. There was a small to medium-sized underground parking lot with easy access. The hotel is located in a bustling area, making it convenient to drive anywhere, including restaurants and shopping. It's also lakeside, making it easy to visit the neighboring Greentown Sheraton Hotel for scenic photos. The breakfast was average, but filling enough. They also offered freshly made chicken rice noodles, which weren't very good; you had to season it yourself.

This hotel's location is absolutely amazing! It's right by the central lake, so you can just step out and start exploring – incredibly convenient. The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was so soft and comfy; I felt completely refreshed after a good night's sleep. Standing on the balcony, enjoying the lake breeze and the view, was incredibly relaxing. The front desk staff, especially the lady, was super nice and patient, always helping me with my questions – truly thoughtful service!
