Siguniangshan Xuema Yunjian Homestay

This place was absolutely magical, because I woke up each day to the gorgeous views of the mountains and valley. Because the hotel is in the mountains, you will have to take a taxi down to the center of town. The hotel arranged the taxi service for us (50 RMB). I knew I would need a taxi before booking the hotel, but I believed the extra cost of the taxi was worth the location, and I was right. It was nice being in a serene location and having a chance to connect with nature. The room was extremely clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. Breakfast was provided at no additional cost at 8:30 a.m.- 9:30 a.m. and was a great way to warm up during those cold mornings. There is a dinner menu available. We ordered a few simple things from the dinner menu, because we packed snacks. However, the things we did buy from the dinner menu were delicious.

The place is in Shuangdiao Village, far from the bus station and attractions, so you can't walk there, and there's no walking path. The owner arranged a driver, and each trip cost RMB 50 — a bit expensive (minus point) . However, it's great for mountain views and quiet time. Bring light luggage, as there are stairs to your room. The room even has a projector for movies. The food was nice. I loved the fresh veggies, and they let me add more for free. Breakfast was filling, lunch was noodles, and dinner was a tasty herbal chicken soup pot. The warm and friendly service made the stay comfortable.
