Taxia Shouwang Inn

We stayed there for 2 days. The place is very cozy and authentic. The landlord was very kind and helpful. She helped us to arrange a driver to get around the villages and treated us with a local tea that was very tasty. Also there lives a very cute and playful cat))) if you are not a tea lover you can order a cup of delicious coffee there. There is a good restaurant nearby where you can have a meal. We highly recommend this place.

Amazing experience. Manager helped make everything perfect. Hotel courtyard by night is gorgeous. Stone street outside lining narrow river is full of rushing waterfalls and magical at sunset, and after dark. Make sure to eat in hotel restaurant—sitting in the tea shop is best. Delicious tofu, eggplant, and potato “silk” dishes. Best of all is the cauliflower! Also, iced passion fruit-lime juice…I drank two glasses after every run. Manager also will serve endless cups of tea from her father’s tea farm up the mountain. As local as local gets here. Hekang village only 4-5 km down mountain road, while it’s about 8km up to a famous tulou village. But tulous are everywhere around, including several inside Taxia. Unbelievable place. 3 nights should be the absolute minimum stay. Oh, and the cats are friendly and at least one wants to meet you!
