Banshanhai • Xin Yue Residence

位置在空中田園觀光車乘車點步行5分鐘路程，去三岔口車站換乘很方便。老闆阿姨很親切，燒飯很好吃量很足，每天都吃的飽飽的。狗狗很可愛，晚上還可以看到星空。每天旅遊回來可以吃到阿姨燒的菜、和狗狗玩一會兒消除一天疲憊。環境也乾淨，很適合想在山上過夜的遊客選擇。

Эта маленькая гостиница в деревне понадобится вам, если вы решили остаться в национальном парке и утром насладиться видами до того, как приедет толпа туристов. Вы найдете в этой гостинице добрую гостеприимную хозяйку, очень вкусную местную еду, которую хозяйка вам приготовит, деревенскую тишину и возможность увидеть закат и рассвет в горах. Здесь простые условия, но все, что нужно для минимального комфорта, есть: чистые постели (в холодный сезон есть электрические простыни), горячую воду в душе, хорошие кровати, фен, розетки для зарядки гаджетов. Не ждите большего, но этого достаточно, чтобы переночевать в национальном парке. Я останавливалась здесь уже два раза. И каждый раз оставалось теплое чувство от гостеприимства и домашней обстановки. Я приеду снова)

There are basically no B&Bs in the mountains of Zhangjiajie. Dingxiangrong Village is one of the few places with B&Bs. It is very close to the Sky Garden and the Gathering of Divine Soldiers. In the morning, the landlady helps charter a car to watch the sunrise. The transportation cost on the mountain is high and the conditions are not the same as down the mountain. Comparison, but the food cooked by the landlady is great (all chickens, ducks, eggs, vegetables, etc. raised by her own family), the people are very enthusiastic, very talkative, and knowledgeable. I look forward to staying here again next time I travel to Zhangjiajie. The painting on the wall is A resident artist helped paint the painting, which is a great painting!

Living on the mountain is indeed a very different experience

老闆娘熱情

We highly recommend this B&B. After making a reservation online, you can see the owner's phone number. After speaking with the owner he answered many of our questions. 1) After getting off the Zhangjiajie High-speed Railway, the shopkeeper will help arrange checked luggage to the hotel (20 to 30 yuan/piece). We were told to take the line bus opposite the high-speed rail station for 12 yuan and go directly to the park. We could easily carry the backpack and start the first day of play. 2) Enter the park before it closes. Take the eco-car and get off at Sanchakou Station. Walk 300 meters to the B&B. If you call the shopkeeper, she will drive to Sanchakou Station to pick up the customer. 3) Watch the sunrise in the morning and the colorful sunset in the evening. Guests staying outside the park gate cannot see it (the park is open from 7 to 17). 4) There are only three or four B&Bs in the park. Don’t miss the opportunity while they are still available. 5) When leaving, the owner will help arrange checked luggage to the train station. On the morning of our departure, we went to Shentang Bay, Dianjiang Terrace, Grand View Terrace, and took the Bailong Ladder down the mountain (no queue). Take the Golden Whip Creek all the way to the south gate (it’s so beautiful). Take the bus to Tianmen Mountain for 12 yuan. Behind the Xiatianmenshan Cableway Station is the taxi station. After taking a taxi to Zhangjiajie High-speed Railway Station to pick up our luggage (the luggage was left at Sister Chen’s store in the hotel at the high-speed railway station), we took the high-speed train to Furong Town to see the night view. 6) Staying in a B&B and having close interactions with the Aboriginal shopkeepers and their families is an extremely valuable life experience in itself. Drink the real Wulingyuan mountain spring water, eat freshly harvested bamboo shoots from the mountains, fresh wild vegetables, home-made Xiangxi bacon, and chat with the shopkeepers. Poems and distant places are all here! 7) We like to listen to the birds and roosters in the morning and watch the stars at night. We are nearly 70 years old, and these days of being close to nature and spending time with simple shopkeepers are a gift from fate. We cherish it. 8) This B&B is too cheap. Please do not compare with expensive hotels in terms of material requirements. 9) While tourists living outside the park were still queuing up in the morning to wait for the elevator or ropeway to go up the mountain, we already had the entire viewing platform to ourselves at the scenic spot on the mountain. 10) We saw many short video anchors arriving at the viewing platform in the morning light at the same time as us. By the way, the anchors on WeChat scared us so much that we almost didn’t come to Zhangjiajie. They showed us the long queue of people waiting for 2-3 hours for the elevator etc. Maybe the footage of the anchors at that time was real, so that people could be persuaded to use their travel services. Based on our experience, as long as we stay at this B&B, we don’t worry about how long the queue at the bottom of the mountain is. Because all the good scenery is on the mountain, we started to see the beautiful scenery early in the morning, rubbing shoulders with people queuing up the mountain. 11) There is no need for a tour guide in the forest park. The senior discount ticket is 33 yuan including insurance and can be used for four consecutive days. It's cheap to stay in this B&B for three nights. The owner had lots of route suggestions based on our preferences. Each line is connected by eco-cars, and the elevator ropeway goes down the mountain (just opposite to the main passenger flow peak direction, so there is no queue). The road signs on the scenic trails are clear and repeated many times and show XX meters. The advantage of not using a tour guide is not only to save money, but more importantly, you can stay as long as you want to see. Don’t go if you don’t want to see it. When you are tired or hungry, you decide where to rest and for how long. Especially for seniors like us, it’s great to be free. We are near 70 now. If we did it and had a great time at XiRiu Milano inn, so will you. We wish you have a lifetime great experience as we did.
