Furong Town Jiujiu Inn

To be objective, Jiujiu Inn is frankly just an average guesthouse. We were influenced by the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Ctrip when we made our booking. The bed was quite spacious at 1.5 meters wide, but the bathroom facilities were quite disappointing. The owner also recommended a restaurant she thought was good, and we trusted her. However, the restaurant she recommended was about a third more expensive than others. Honestly, at best, it only warrants an average rating.

I booked a room on [booking platform] on August 12th, and extended my stay for another night via Ctrip on the 13th. I spent three days exploring Furong Town, staying for two nights. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which is why I specifically wanted to leave this positive review. 1. The guesthouse is very close to the scenic area, just a short walk away. This is very convenient for visitors who explore the ancient town entirely on foot. 2. On the first day, I explored Furong Town. (The owner kindly helped me book tickets, which saved me about 20 yuan compared to purchasing them directly at the scenic spot's ticket booth.) 3. On the second day, I went white-water rafting on Mengdong River. (Again, the owner helped me book tickets, and I received a discount, making it definitely cheaper than purchasing them directly.) 4. On the second night, I suddenly came down with a bad cold, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. It was already midnight, and being from out of town, I had no idea where the nearest hospital was. I called the owner, who immediately drove me to the hospital. After receiving my injection, it was already 2:30 AM. I really didn't want to trouble the owner due to the late hour, but I couldn't find a taxi. So, I had no choice but to call them again, and they promptly came to pick me up. I was truly touched and incredibly grateful for their assistance. 5. On the third day, I rested at the guesthouse for most of the morning. After checking out at noon, I drove back home. 6. The guesthouse was tidy and clean, and the room looked exactly as depicted in the promotional photos. Guests also have the option of using either a squat or a Western-style toilet. Finally, I wish the owner a thriving business and abundant prosperity!
