Datong Homestays

The "Jinhuang Qi" homestay is named after the meaning of "the elegance of Shanxi and the resting place of the phoenix", integrating the profound cultural heritage of the land of Shanxi with the refined aesthetics of Eastern life. Upon entering, the elaborate carvings and painted beams reveal the grandeur of the Shanxi merchant courtyards, while the dark blue tiles and grey bricks conceal the essence of ancient architecture. The ingenious modern design adds a touch of comfort to this ancient charm. The guest rooms are centered around the concept of "resting", with every detail reflecting a pursuit of tranquility - whether it's the courtyard view from the window or the soft furnishings incorporating elements of Shanxi embroidery. Here, travelers can experience the warmth of time's accumulation while resting. "Jinhuang Qi" is not merely a stopover during a journey, but a condensed representation of Shanxi culture that invites you to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy the serenity and elegance of this land.

Living in ”Xunyou” on the first floor, the overall feeling is very good. Clean and sanitary, the interior environment is very elegant, the tatami room is large enough, with windows on three sides, but the two windows on the outside are not suitable for opening because there is construction outside. The dry area of ​​the bathroom is also large enough to fit two suitcases, but I personally feel that there is not enough space for cosmetics, and the toilet and shower room are not big enough. We were going to the Yungang Grottoes at 7am in the morning, so we didn't have breakfast. It's about one kilometer away from the center of the ancient city, so it's suitable for a slow walk.

Service starts with pre-arrival. I had planned my stay here from 30 May but arrived on 29 May. I was wondering what I should do with all my luggage. Communicated with the owner and they gladly picked up my luggage from the train station on 29 May, allowing me to peacefully enjoy climbing 恒山，roam around 悬空寺 and 应县木塔。On reaching the hotel on 30 May, the luggage was already placed in my room. Facilities were great, and amenities used were really good. Towels were fluffy and soft, which was a luxury usually seen in five star hotels. Located within walking distance of the main sights, the tranquil surroundings together with the courtyard setup really put me into a peaceful state after a busy day. The next day was 端午节, breakfast was an assortment of Shanxi delights, including 粽子. With my stomach filled, set out happily for 云冈石窟。Definitely a gem.

1The two days spent in this B&B were the most unforgettable time of this trip. The room is clean and well-equipped, and the owner's care and taste can be seen in every corner. What impressed me most was the ancient wall of the small courtyard. Drinking a cup of tea and reading a book there in the morning was simply a great enjoyment in life. Highly recommended to all friends who pursue quality and comfort. 2When I first arrived at this B&B, I was deeply attracted by its unique design style. The boss and employees are very enthusiastic. The design style is designed by a Japanese designer and incorporates Chinese thangka art. The boss's collection of thangkas are all hand-painted by Regong, and each thangka is considered to be a high-quality product. Standing in front of thangka, I feel that the whole world has become quiet, and my soul seems to have returned. This is not only a place to stay, but also a good place for people to relax and find their spiritual self. 3 I have always believed that the meaning of travel is not only to see the scenery, but more importantly to experience life. In this B&B, I found such an experience. From the decoration design in the room to the layout of each thangka, every detail makes people feel warm and clean. If you are looking for a place to rest your soul, this is definitely your first choice. This B&B left a deep impression on me. It not only has a beautiful environment, but also feels like home. You can explore the ancient city during the day and enjoy the warmth of home when you return to the B&B at night. In particular, the mattress and pillows were extremely comfortable and ensured a good night's sleep. This is a B&B full of charm and peace of mind. From the moment you check in to the time you leave, every moment feels like you are in a Zen world. Whether it is the internal layout of the room or the design of the external environment, they fully demonstrate the owner's extremely high aesthetic level and intention. If you want to find a spiritual home while traveling, I highly recommend this place.

My family and me were very happy to stay at this hotel. The connection with the owners was very fast. They help us with pick-up and drop-off service, our luggage, light breakfast because of our early wake up and private driver for our trip to different attractions. The room was clean, and the terrace near the room was wonderful with the great view. Service and hospitality were awesome. I highly recommend to stay here. It is only one moment: there isn't any door between bathroom and living room, but it was ok

When continuing the millennium old texture of the Northern Wei Lifang system and injecting a sense of breathing into contemporary life When rooted in the border culture genes of Datong, integrating modern life aesthetics When the naturalistic courtyard of northern Shanxi is infused with the ethereal poetry of wabi sabi aesthetics A relaxed atmosphere like 'old friends returning home', awakening a sense of belonging to the 'spiritual homeland' of the body and mind When the passenger pushed open the old wooden courtyard door, Entering the reception area filled with the fragrance of calligraphy and ink, The butler handed over a cup of hot tea instead of a room card; When the fingertips touch the uneven texture of the rough pottery vessel, Looking up, I saw the ancient city wall hidden behind the tree shadows outside the window There is no standardized hotel service here, Only friends who share stories by the fire, A close friend who meets by chance between the pages of a book, The silence of reconciliation with oneself under the starry sky. In the blank spaces of the beauty of wabi sabi, In the warm light of the bookstore, We will eventually regain the true state of 'returning home' Unload your luggage, and you will return home.
