KristymaomaoStaying at Xieshan Jingshe, nestled at the foot of Fanjing Mountain, felt just like going back to my grandma's house when I was a child.
Stepping off the car, crossing a small bridge, and entering the courtyard, there was an immediate sense of familiarity and peace. A babbling stream flowed in front, while silent mountains loomed behind. The courtyard was lush with greenery, exuding the scent of damp earth and the passage of time. Moss slowly spread along the flagstone path, and bamboo shadows swayed gently. Koi fish glided serenely in the pond, and the bell by the entrance chimed softly in the breeze, making you instinctively lighten your steps. This wasn't some contrived 'Chinese style,' but a place truly lived in.
Their attentiveness was subtle but profound. Knowing roughly when we'd arrive, they'd already warmed the room, even the comforter was toasty. A wisp of sandalwood incense was slowly burning, and the tea set was neatly arranged, as if awaiting its owner's return. The moment I opened the door, my heart felt at ease.
The furnishings inside reflected a restrained and tasteful Chinese aesthetic. Carved wooden window lattices, soaring double-leaf Chinese doors, and soft, warm lighting – each item seemed to have stepped out of an earlier time. The collected artifacts and calligraphies were not flashy, yet each quietly told its own story.
For dinner, we decided to stay in rather than venture out, opting for a 'home-cooked meal.' Upon hearing our request, the auntie immediately sprang into action – she went to another part of the property, caught a chicken, and stewed a fresh pot of chicken soup. Then she dug fresh fiddlehead ferns from the vegetable patch, still carrying the aroma of earth. There were also her homemade salted duck eggs, not overly salty, yet oily with just one bite.
The firewood slowly burned, the soup in the pot gently simmered, and the aroma of the food gradually filled the air. That scent wasn't the refined fragrance of a restaurant, but the long-missed, comforting taste of home.
This isn't just a 'chic' guesthouse; it’s far more touching than many of them. It's like a well-preserved slice of life – quiet, authentic, and full of warmth.
This is a place one will remember and want to return to for another short stay.

Guest UserI highly recommend this hotel! The facilities are brand new and modern, featuring smart toilets and HD movie channels, showing great attention to detail. The breakfast selection is incredibly rich, offering both Chinese and Western options, and everything tasted delicious. What's more, the soundproofing is exceptional, guaranteeing a peaceful stay undisturbed by external noise. Waking up and opening the window, the view that greeted me was simply breathtakingly serene. My stay was absolutely perfect, and I've already recommended it to my friends!

Hotel location was not favourable. It cost around 2hrs car-ride to get there from The Mountain Fanjing.
However hot-spring was wonderful at the hotel. I stayed there for 6nights, I saw my skin quality improved.
Breakfast was delicious. And service was good at the breakfast section . But the service was not pleasant at the hotel front reception. I asked them to help booking a return taxi to Tongren south station but they were not trying help at the first time ; I kept asking them to help doing so, few days later, it was finally setting down.
I felt very tired to do such arrangement …….Normally hotels are having taxi booking services , and getting down only by informing the date of leaving , and the budge of cost . That’s all! Then you can have a peaceful of mind to enjoying the stay.

DuoduoduoqianI chose Chuan Shang Yu Homestay because it's close to Fanjing Mountain. The service here is excellent; they proactively help with any issues, and they even offer transportation. I rarely write reviews, but after checking out today, I just had to praise this homestay. The food was also delicious and really hit the spot. The spicy numbing fish was fantastic, with no muddy taste, and the other dishes were generous and flavorful. The only minor downside was that the floor-to-ceiling window was a bit blurry. The staff tried to clean it, but it might just be an issue with the glass itself. The manager was also very polite and even gave us a souvenir when we checked out. The staff are all very high-quality. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Fanjing Mountain!

I looked at many hotels before finally choosing this one for my trip to Fanjingshan. The hotel is a little over an hour's drive from Tongren Railway Station, which was very convenient as I took a taxi from Tongren. It's a ten-minute walk from Fanjingshan, and the hotel offers a shuttle service. It's a garden-style hotel with a nice environment. Since it wasn't peak season, the hotel proactively upgraded my room upon arrival. The room was spacious, and the bedding was comfortable. The room I stayed in the second night had a bathtub, which was very relaxing after hiking. Perfect for a vacation. The hotel also thoughtfully provided us with hiking gloves and offered to bring raincoats when the weather was bad – very considerate! Overall, I highly recommend it and give it a thumbs up!
