Klaus HornetzA truly exceptional stay on Jiuhuashan
I have stayed in many guesthouses across China, but this one stands out in a very special way. From the very first moment, the communication via WeChat was friendly, quick, and reliable – even though my Chinese is limited and the staff’s English is not extensive. Still, everything worked beautifully. Warm, patient, uncomplicated. It already gives you the feeling that you are in good hands.
I stayed for two days, and throughout my entire time there, everything was perfectly organized. I was picked up right on time upon arrival – an invaluable service in a mountain area that can be a little confusing for newcomers. The guesthouse itself is extremely comfortable: warm, well-designed rooms with excellent facilities, a huge screen, electric curtains, cozy bedding, and all the small details that make travel easier. I immediately felt welcomed and well taken care of.
During my stay, the staff assisted me with everything I needed, always with kindness and without any complications. When it was time to leave, they also arranged transport back to my bus at exactly the time I requested. Truly flawless service.
But the most extraordinary highlight was something I did not expect at all: the free guided tour that the homestay organizes for all their guests. They drove us to the starting point, and then we spent the day walking through the misty mountain paths, visiting nine of the most important temples on Jiuhuashan. It was magical – quiet, mysterious, deeply atmospheric. Our guide took wonderful care of everyone, explained so much about the temples, the mountain, the history, and the spirit of Dizang Bodhisattva, and created a sense of depth that went far beyond sightseeing.
This was not a tourist activity.
It was a spiritual and cultural experience – something you can only receive from people who truly love their mountain and want to share it with others. In the fog, among ancient stones, incense smoke, and the sound of footsteps on wet leaves, one begins to understand why Jiuhuashan has been a sacred place for centuries.
My conclusion:
This homestay offers not only comfort, warmth, and excellent service, but also a genuine connection to the spiritual heart of Jiuhuashan. I can recommend Tanxiangyuan Homestay without any hesitation. For pilgrims, travelers, lovers of nature, or anyone seeking a meaningful experience, this place is simply perfect. I am grateful for every moment I spent there.

Environment: The hotel's decoration design is aesthetically pleasing. Whether it is the small courtyard or the flower arrangement in the restaurant, it is artistic and worth appreciating. The overall design is relatively new and very clean and tidy.
Service: Every boss in the store (I think they are all bosses) is very friendly, especially the tall lady who serves tea in the evening. Her smile is very contagious.
Food: The focus is on afternoon tea. The appearance and taste are both online. I like osmanthus black tea and tangerine peel melon seeds very much. I also order meals here. Although the price is higher than that of restaurants outside, the environment and hygiene are friendly. I have to say that Jiuhua bamboo shoots fried meat and the small cold dishes of snow vegetables and fresh bamboo shoots in the morning are really delicious😋

Guest UserAll the facilities and small details in the room are perfect. It’s so friendly with children. The proprietress thought of preparing bed rails to be very friendly to families with children. The room will also be covered with anti-collision strips. The whole room is spacious and bright, and the bed is comfortable. It’s a parent-child paradise. Heguanshanping is suitable for children to discharge their energy. The scenery in front of the door is also very beautiful. Even the private rooms and table decorations for dining are beautiful. After praying to Buddha, it feels like a holiday. I can sleep until dawn. The boss lady has a lot of customers. Keeping it in mind, all the east lines and items are placed so that people can easily reach them, which is very comfortable!

囧木This is probably the most upscale hotel in Jiuhua Mountain. I noticed they also host various large-scale corporate events. It's not located on the mountain within the scenic area, so it's more suitable for guests with a car.
The hot spring experience was decent; the outdoor pools were more comfortable than the indoor ones, and the sauna got me a good sweat. My only minor complaint is that for a two-night stay, they didn't provide fresh bathrobes on the second day.
The restaurant food was quite good, better than what you find outside, especially the noodle soup – I was very satisfied. The ambiance is also great, and the garden and lawn at the entrance are perfect for relaxing. Recommended!

xycqAfter visiting Jiuhua Mountain, we chose to stay in the county town, and this is probably the best hotel there. The location is very convenient, with a food street right behind the hotel. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade, and our room's balcony offered a view of the lake across the way. There were even fireworks nearby at night 🎆. For breakfast, they had a local specialty, chicken soup with crispy rice, which I highly recommend. Definitely a great place to stay!

I chose this hotel randomly during my trip to Jiuhua Mountain to worship Buddha, but I was quite satisfied with my stay! The hotel has an excellent location, right in the heart of the scenic area, making it very convenient. It's within walking distance of Jiuhua Street and all the major temples and attractions nearby, making it easy to go hiking, praying, shopping, or dining without having to go out of your way. The room was also very clean, refreshing, tidy, and odor-free. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the blankets were dry and clean. The bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, and toiletries were provided. The floor and corners were spotless, showing excellent attention to hygiene. I felt safe and comfortable staying there. The service was especially commendable. The front desk staff were gentle, patient, and incredibly welcoming. Check-in and check-out were efficient and quick, and they even provided helpful explanations of the scenic area's routes and prayer tips. They responded promptly to any questions. Overall, it's excellent value for money, and the experience was fantastic. I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Jiuhua Mountain. I highly recommend it!

The room is great. The duplex room has three beds and can accommodate four people or more.
The boss is also very enthusiastic and provides transportation to and from Jiuhua Street or places to eat every day, which is very convenient. Since the folk custom is in a relatively secluded place, you don't have to worry about people or cars disturbing your peace early in the morning.
There is also a swimming pool in the B&B, but it cannot be used in winter. It should be good in summer.
Breakfast is simple but delicious. The eldest sister is very enthusiastic and cooks noodles and omelettes for us every day, which is delicious. There are also corn, steamed buns, tea eggs, steamed buns, etc. Although there are not many choices, they are all delicious. And the eldest sister is also very enthusiastic!

What a perfect weekend getaway! A five-star hotel with excellent facilities at a reasonable price. You can soak in the hot springs in the afternoon and have chicken soup in the evening. The next day, we went hiking, and they even gave us tickets to Jiuziyan (Nine Sons Rock), which we could drive up in – fantastic! The hotel receptionists, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, were incredibly helpful and provided many helpful tips for our visit. Excellent!
