Homestays in Xinglong

First of all, the location: the house is situated just inside the Zhangjiajie Forest National Park, by the West Gate. If you plan to really see the Park, this is the best place to stay for sure since it does take a good hour from Zhangjiajie City to reach. Instead of getting up super early every day, we could easily just walk outside the house and wave for the bus to stop and let us on, then we’d drive maybe 5 minutes (if at all) and arrive at the cable car station. The facilities are amazing, too. The room was beautiful and nicely renovated and it even had one of those neat automatic toilets. The house had multiple seating areas outside, like a terrace and a pool (which was closed since it was the low season), but our absolute favorite was the patio by the river. It’s so peaceful and idyllic and really lets you appreciate the natural scenery. Secondly: the food! Delicious breakfast and dinner! Most importantly: our hosts! These people are the warmest, kindest, most gracious hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Especially Nihong. Our time in Zhangjiajie would not have been the same without her. She was our tour guide for the first two full days, showing us so much of the park we would have never seen otherwise. She took time out of her day for us for three straight days just to make sure we had the best possible experience. We learned so much about Tujia culture as well, which was so interesting. Her English is so good and she was always interested in learning more, and in turn she helped us learn a few Chinese words and phrases. And her husband drove us to the Railway Station when we had a very early train to catch, which was such a big help. We could not have been more lucky with these kind people! All in all, if you’re thinking of staying here, please do! You won’t regret it. We certainly hope we can return one day! Xiexie! Wo ai ni Zhangjiajie!

Carol is absolutely fantastic, super helpful and kind- I really owe my amazing experience to her! Her mum in the attached restaurant is also lovely, food there was great, room was spacious and clean and comfortable. Perfect location for the national park with the avatar mountains and Carol was great at giving the best tips and route which meant no queuing! She was also wonderful at organising transport etc and was always there to help. Such a great stay- I want to come back!

Very big and stunning bedrooms with open sink. Also beautiful and easthetically pleasing lobby.

The room was perfectly clean, the beds so comfortable, and the staff there is amazingly nice and helpful!

The staff is fluent in English and very supportive. She did the all the orders for attracts and very kind to help everything. Also the location is near to the attracts than the Zhangjiajie city centre.

I think the thing i liked the most was the kindness and support i got from Miss Xei (i don't know if its correctly written sorry 😂) she was 200% helpful, kind, always thoughtful and helped a lot building my plan in the park! Even helped me find so really good typical restaurants! Thank you so very much! I couldn't do it without you! I'm just so sorry i could not say goodbye personally!

We really like the hotel and its position near the national park. The family the runs it is very kind and helped a lot during our stay, booking all the tickets to the park. Big thank you to Rebecca and her family ❤️

It was so lovely and cozy place to stay!! The host is awesome and he helped us plan to visit the national park and explained everything to the detail. Also the best thing about it is that it is right next to the entrance to national park, only 5 minutes walk!! We manage to go very early and we have been first up by cable car and had time enjoy it all before all the crowds came in!! The host also helped us with early taxi booking to go to train station. Also good for dog lovers as they have one lovely dog downstairs 👍

Beautiful view from the balcony, unique bathtub at the balcony, extremely nice host, who was very helpful and tried to plan our itinerary in the park in the best way. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable. Nice breakfast to start every day. Great stay!

I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the hotel staff, especially Mr. Chen and his assistants, for their help. Very good hotel in the city center, very convenient to get to the entrance to the park, good transfer from and to the airport. Thank you so much
