I had some initial confusion about the address of the hotel. It was not listed on hotels.com and appeared as Lanshan Wangyue Homestay on Google maps. After communicating with staff via WeChat, the address was clarified for our DiDi driver. Despite this, our stay far exceeded expectations. The location sits among beautiful green mountains which you get to view through a wall to wall window from your room. The hotel is privately owned which I think is quite rare in China and has a boutique feel. Owner Mark Ma personally welcomes you and shows you to your room. The details to things like silk robes, choice teas, self flushing bidet, embroidered thick quality white towels made a big impact. My two boys loved asking “xiao du, xiao du” which is the Chinese version of Alexa to open and close the curtains. We watched Skyfall projected on a big screen from our comfy beds. At sunset, the views from the rooftop were amazing. There’s a rooftop pool, props like a moon, infinity mirror and stairway to heaven to get some Instagram worthy photos. The view by itself though was sublime. The hotel is far enough from the road but close enough to downtown to be peaceful and conveniently located. We enjoyed a varied breakfast. I liked the squash, sweet potato and teas. Boys enjoyed the fried meats, noodles and fried rice. I highly recommend this place. Can’t say enough. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. It really felt like a little paradise!
