Hotels in Taxia Tulou Scenic Area, Nanjing

It was a very special and wonderful 2-night stay. We loved everything about the property, especially the breakfast and tea gifts. The staff, from the reception to the kitchen, and the owner, whom we ran into and had a little chat, were all so friendly, and that made you feel very much welcome. We highly recommend this property to anyone planning to stay in Taxia Village.

Our little one wanted to see 'A Yuan's Home,' so we brought the picture book and came to stay. This guesthouse is located within the Tianluokeng Tulou Scenic Area in Nanjing. It's easy to find if you're driving, and personally, I found it even better than the Yunshuiyao Scenic Area – fewer crowds and stunning scenery. It's also very close to Taxia Village, which you can reach by cycling or walking. There, you can visit the 700-year-old Yuchang Lou, famously standing 'crooked but firm,' and grab a meal at the Xiaogqiao Liushui Restaurant. Just a heads-up if you're driving, be mindful of parking restrictions. Getting to Tianluokeng's iconic 'Four Dishes and One Soup' cluster is also super convenient, just a ten-minute drive. The Tulou are truly magnificent! The guesthouse hostess is incredibly nice, and they have a lovely Golden Retriever named Xiao Chai, who is very friendly and well-behaved. We booked a duplex room with a living area downstairs and the sleeping area upstairs. It even came with a projector, which was a huge bonus! But the real highlight was the in-room washer-dryer combo – such a thoughtful and convenient amenity!

The B&B is located in Taxia Village, Tianluokeng Tulou Scenic Area, beside a small bridge and flowing water. It is owned by the same owner as Su Sanqiu next door. Parking is available at the door, and meals are 10% off. It is quiet and comfortable with few people in the off-season. The B&B room has been upgraded to a garden room. The room is spacious and bright, very quiet at night, and will be woken up by small animals in the morning! Highly recommended! In addition: The hotel + Yunshuiyao ticket package is not a B&B package, but a Ctrip package. The B&B is in Tianluokeng Scenic Area. If you don't go to Yunshuiyao, don't choose this package, because Tianluokeng and Yunshuiyao are 2 scenic spots! The B&B is very good, the whole house is smart, and it is worth staying!

I would like to thank all staffs for making our 2 nights stay so comfortable and amazing. They are all very helpful and their services are really wonderful. The place is very neat and clean. I brought my 16 months old girl to the retreat. They have specifically prepared her dinner based on my requirement and I must say that their food are really very delicious. Highly recommend for this retreat! Will definitely come back to this place again when I am here again.

Beyond the official Tulou attractions, the proprietress also took us to a private spot (Pic 3). It was a lovely place where adults could enjoy tea and conversation, while children could play in the water and even try catching fish. It was absolutely wonderful! It truly felt like an escape to a secluded paradise – incredibly quiet, and there wasn't even any phone signal. A perfect opportunity to completely relax and unwind. Pictures 1 and 2 showcase the collection of old furniture and farming tools the proprietress has curated on the guesthouse's rooftop. It's a very thoughtful touch, and city kids found them particularly fascinating.

The lady boss was very nice. Since there weren't many people there, she upgraded us to a suite. The room was very clean, the viewing platform was first-class, and it was a very distinctive homestay. The quietness at night made you feel very comfortable. When you go out, you will reach Tasha Village, a very distinctive village.

The host Ah Wei is a gem . He always greet you with a smile and accommodate our meal request . He will suggest certain local harvested vegetables which were so delicious , cooked by him. Knowing what we wish to eat for dinner, he ensured that the ingredients were prepared ahead as they needed a certain amount of time to season them. He gave us good explanation of the various items we saw in the hall as we were both quite curious what they were. There was never an attempt to sell it. He also gave us a good history lesson on the origin of their village, and the various tulos. Finally, we requested his help for a transfer and because of his connections, it was well arranged. Thank you Ah Wei for welcoming us to your home and the 6 meals in your place were very very good.

Fun experience staying in a tulou! As the listing says, it's a shared bathroom outside the tulou structure and a plastic bucket outside your room if you need to pee in the middle of the night and don't want to go out far. Bring your own toilet paper and soap just in case they've run out in the shared bathrooms. The room itself was nice and ours on the top floor had a window. Power and wifi worked great. The hostess was super kind and brought us to our room, made sure we could find our way back, and offered us tea. I'd recommend for the unique experience!

What an amazing experience to live in the “chopsticks” buildings of the four dishes and one soup! This was a small and beautiful village and the family who ran the inn helped us carry our luggage up to the inn and later down to the inn. When we arrived they cooked a dinner which was reasonable in price based on a local menu. And then during dinner, they told us that one of the family members will be running a free tour of the Tulous of four dishes one soup for us in which they explained the history of the building of the tulous, especially the oval shaped tulou. Our guide was very funny with his stories (he spoke in Chinese) and it was a lovely time seeing the artists and candy makers in the Tulous. I would highly recommend this place. We did have to bring our own towels (or at least we brought our own and they didn’t supply one), so maybe best to check.

The hotel is in Tianluokeng Tulou Group (Ruiyun Building), deeply experience the real life of Tulou residents, very comfortable experience! The overall sanitation facilities are good, and the boss is very enthusiastic. He introduced the relevant situation of Tulou and gave a lot of suggestions. The overall trip experience is very good! Recommend recommended!
