Romantic Hotels in Tonglu

## Nestled in Tonglu's Painterly Landscape | A Short Account of Yisongshuling, Lucun Village As the outside world receded, the invigorating spirit of the landscape washed over me. Stepping inside, it was immediately clear that the hosts possess a true appreciation for life. It wasn't about ostentatious 'design,' but rather a subtle integration of modern elements into aged wood, pristine white walls, and warm lighting. The room was spacious, and smart home features silently anticipated every need, making it feel like living in a futuristic poem – a poem, nonetheless, that rhymed with the mountains and the moon. My absolute favorite was the window. Mornings brought mist hovering over the river like a delicate veil, while at night, stars seemed to tumble into the deep, inky mountains. Sitting quietly by the window, listening to the wind whisper through the bamboo and watching water birds glide over the emerald ripples, I suddenly understood why ancient scholars always sought to 'steal moments of leisure' – the sublime beauty of nature is, after all, the most priceless of gifts. The home-cooked meals prepared by Auntie carried the warmth of the earth itself. Bamboo shoots, freshly dug from the back mountain that very morning, and fish, caught straight from the river, were simply prepared. Yet, their exquisite freshness transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen in childhood. Each bite felt like a gentle blessing from the mountains and waters. The staff always greeted us with a smile, striking the perfect balance, like old friends. There was no need to ask; they had already quietly anticipated and prepared everything. And if solitude was desired, they would simply leave you with a tranquil, gentle quietude. Departing felt like waking from a beautiful dream. This wasn't merely accommodation; it was unequivocally a few days spent dwelling in a fairyland. I left imbued with its spiritual essence, and I swear I even 'stole' half a window's worth of its magnificent scenery. —Perhaps true luxury never needs to flaunt itself; it simply, gently restores you to being one with nature. ### Tips * **Room types:** Diverse options available; a mountain view room is highly recommended. * **Must-try dishes:** Auntie's local chicken hotpot and stir-fried wild bamboo shoots. My personal favorite was the freshly made dried vegetable and pork patty – incredibly fragrant! * **Activities:** Take a stroll along the ancient path beside the guesthouse, where you can walk alongside the Fuchun River, with distant mountains as your backdrop. * **Nearby attractions:** It's very close to the Mailing Ancient Path, definitely worth a hike. The establishment was incredibly thoughtful. They helped upgrade our room, and when they heard our friend had to rush for a train and would miss breakfast, they kindly packed some fruit for them to eat on the go. Auntie also kept everything impeccably clean. **”When paradise is here, why search elsewhere?”**

The environment and personal experience are much higher than the Trip.com rating. When you come, the puppy you don’t know will quietly guide you here. The green small yard, colorful flowers, the canals flowing down the mountain, cute little goats, kittens, puppies, Sitting on the rattan chair in the grass house will make you forget the stress and noise of the city. The owner of the homestay is a young and energetic little handsome guy who is very enthusiastic, personally, and pays attention to every detail and the needs of the guests, so that you have a relaxing home rather than commercial management. The room was quiet and slept well. You can barbecue at night and you can chat as much as you like. You can paraglide, hike, run, climb mountains, ride a bike, dig rafts, watch the sunrise. Very recommended, will come again!

Surrounded by mountains, there is water in front of the door, between the real landscape. The homestay itself is also very design, took a lot of photos, the service is also thoughtful, responsive

The room type was upgraded. In winter, the indoor heating was turned on and the water was very hot. It is a very good local hotel. The Murata restaurant below the hotel is also great, and the scenery inside and outside Murata is also very comfortable. There are also kittens on the street, which are plump and well-fed by the villagers, but they are very friendly and easy to pet. I'll go again in summer if I have the chance.

Holidays are hidden in the clouds. The room is on the first floor, with an exclusive view of the mountain. There is even a shallow stream that you can wade down from the side door, which is quite a surprise. When working in the city, you look up and see the ceiling and the lights that never go out day or night. In the mountains, there is sunlight and birds singing during the day, and darkness and insects chirping when the sun goes down. The day and night are clearly distinguished, and the perception that had been confused by deadlines and to-do lists is restored. People walk during the day and rest at night. They should have day and night just like flowers, plants and trees. When I first arrived and parked the car, two store owners came down the steps to greet me, just like a cheerful younger brother at home bringing his younger sister out to pick you up. It was very different from the mechanical courtesy hidden behind the front desk of other hotels when checking in. The breakfast was simple but appetizing. I ate it slowly under the tree branches, with the morning sun shining on my neck, feeling leisurely and comfortable. Yesterday's breakfast was still a bagel I grabbed before going out, and I ate a few bites while switching between brakes and accelerators in the traffic jam on Beizhai Elevated Road. Out of habit, I asked the shop owner for a cup of coffee. He made it for me while we were chatting. It was really good. The entire homestay consists of three buildings distributed on two slopes. The public areas are all outdoors, with plenty of lounge chairs, tables and benches, which can be placed anywhere for lying down or sitting. The dinner was clean and refreshing, and I must mention the plates, bowls, cups and dishes of the restaurant. The Nebula pottery was rough and elegant, showing the thoughtfulness of the restaurant. The pity is that the stay was short after all. After we returned to the B&B during the day, the temperature in the mountains dropped as night fell. Otherwise, it would have been so pleasant to drink a pot of black tea in the evening breeze. It is recommended to experience it in person.

I came here specifically for Da Le Zhi Ye, and the butler service was indeed excellent; they replied to messages instantly even at 9 or 10 pm. However, the facilities are completely inadequate, making it particularly unsuitable for bringing children; it's okay for adults to come and play together. Firstly, the children's playground basically lacks any facilities for toddlers, and there are no washing machines or dryers. The restaurant is also currently closed. For nearby restaurants, you can order via WeChat and the butler can help you pick up your order. The food is tasty, but the restaurants are too busy, and replying to messages is incredibly slow; you're lucky if you can get a meal after saying 200 sentences.

A spring getaway soothed by rapeseed flowers and gentle warmth! 🌼 A trip to Da Le Zhi Ye in Tonglu in March was pure bliss! The rapeseed flowers were in full bloom, a golden expanse that was incredibly soothing. Every snapshot was a masterpiece of springtime beauty, the air filled with the fresh scent of flowers, completely opening up both the eyes and the soul. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the common areas were cozy and stylish, and the rooms offered stunning views. You could see the spring scenery of the mountains and fields right from your bed. The overall atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. A special shout-out to the manager, Xiao Fang! Her service was warm and attentive, providing meticulous care from check-in to check-out. Any problems were resolved promptly; her professionalism and warmth made for a very comfortable and reassuring stay. And the adorable little dog at the front desk, Blueberry 🐶, was so cute and affectionate, playing with us throughout the trip. Its cuteness instantly won us over, making every moment with it extra warm. Spring flower viewing + heartwarming service + adorable pet companionship – the experience was simply amazing! Definitely the top choice for a vacation in Tonglu, I'll definitely come back again! Highly recommended!

After having dinner at Baiyunyuan in the evening, we drove around for a long time and finally arrived at the Yunxi Shang boutique design B&B that we had booked. The butler was very enthusiastic. I told him on WeChat that I had arrived at the parking lot, and he quickly drove a shuttle to pick us up. He also enthusiastically helped us with our luggage. The children were very enthusiastic about the shuttle and were very excited to take it. In fact, the parking lot is only 50 meters away from the B&B. I walked there slowly. Although the temperature was very high during the day in midsummer, it was still very comfortable in the mountains at night. After walking up a gentle slope of 30 meters, the view in front of you suddenly opens up. First, there is a beautiful infinity pool, followed by 2 or 3 chic white villas. The butler service was very thoughtful. They had already put our luggage in the room and turned on the air conditioner in the room in advance, which was a very comfortable temperature. The room is very big, and although the decoration is in the currently popular minimalist style, it feels very comfortable. The washing room is also separated into dry and wet areas, with a large shower room. The night view on the mountain is very beautiful. After tidying up, I left the room and enjoyed the night view of Tonglu Mountain in the gentle breeze. This homestay is more than 500 meters above sea level. The view in front of the room is very broad. You can see the mountains in the distance and the villages and towns below the mountain. You can also see the brilliant sea of ​​stars when you look up. It has been a long time since I saw such a beautiful night sky. (You can see the photos I took) I slept soundly amid the chirping of cicadas, the crisp calls of crickets, and the husky calls of katydids. I woke up at around 5 o'clock in the morning and had a very sound sleep. Their bedding is really good, the Simmons mattress is just the right softness and hardness, and the pillows are also very comfortable. By the way, all of their bath products are from Herborist, and they also have Herborist body lotion. By this time the sky was already bright and the sounds of various birds singing were so comfortable. Draw open the curtains, and the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to have a clear view of the scenery outside. The green mountains nearby, the foggy mountains in the distance, and the small town at the foot of the mountain are slowly covered with a layer of gold as the sun rises (Figure 1). After washing up, I went out for a short walk in the morning while it wasn't too hot. The air in the mountains was so fresh. The breakfast is also very rich, with sticky white rice porridge, steamed dumplings, diced meat dumplings, egg fried rice, sweet potatoes, corn, eggs, and steamed cakes. Their pickles are really delicious and go great with the porridge (Picture 15). After breakfast, we continued with the plan we made yesterday and drove out for fun. Before leaving, I told the housekeeper on WeChat to help me clean the room. When I came back, the room was brand new and all the missing items were provided. For dinner, you can find a place to eat at the foot of Tonglu Mountain or go to his own restaurant, Yunshan (the dishes photographed individually are from Yunshan). The butler will arrange a shuttle bus to pick you up, which is really nice. The 3-day, 2-night trip was a great experience and the stay was comfortable. The children said they would come again next year.

We had a fantastic stay at the big house at Nine Cloud Homestead Resort, traveling with 6 adults and 4 children. The house is beautifully located at the foot of the mountain, with a huge garden full of lovely trees and flowers, making it peaceful and perfect for families. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent — special thanks to our dedicated housekeeper Aline, who was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The shuttle service between the hall and the house was very convenient, and guests can enjoy many free amenities including the swimming pool, gym, table tennis, and badminton courts. A wonderful, relaxing stay — highly recommended for families and groups!

very nice hotel in a small town. The hotel is renovated, very clean and beautiful, super nice small swiming pool and helpful staff. They cooked for us a nice dinner and we had great breakfast. I definetely recomend it!
