The closest hotel to the scenic area with great food

【Hotel】Handan Xiangtang Mountain Retreat (Xiangtang Mountain Scenic Area Branch) 【Address】Xiangtang Mountain Scenic Area, Hecun Town, Fengfeng Mining District, Handan Choosing this hotel for my Xiangtang Mountain trip was the best bandwagon decision ever—totally locking it in! *The main reason? Ultimate convenience. A dream for independent travelers, this hotel is super close to the scenic area's side gate ticket office. Just enter through the iron gate below the hotel, and you're right in the scenic zone—plus, it's a shuttle bus stop, making exploration effortless. The hotel even includes free scenic area tickets; you only need to buy a shuttle bus pass. *The sightseeing shuttle (¥40/person) drops you directly at the main gate's uphill stop. For the return trip, just tell the driver "Xiangtang Mountain Retreat," and they'll take you back to the South Gate pickup point. *Drivers needn’t worry about parking—the hotel has its own lot. *Staff are super friendly and quick to resolve any room issues. *Facilities are a bit dated but fully functional. Bedside lighting controls are super handy. *While the area lacks commercial spots, the hotel restaurant serves delicious meals.
