Our stay at Lexi Shanya Homestay (Heaven’s Gate) was just amazing!! I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, and I also could not have asked for a better host. Issac (the owner) and his parents were charming. Issac speaks wonderful English, which made planning for the trip a lot smoother. He called me a day before we arrived to arrange to pick us up at the airport. Once we got to the homestay, he gave us a dinner menu and informed us that the food would be ready in an hour. He helped plan out two days in Zhangjiajie, booking the tickets for us in advance! He got us the entry tickets (both for TianMen and The National Forrest) as well as tickets for the cable cars/escalators/etc. He took us up to the TianMen mountain gates and gave us routes that the tourists usually do not go! I couldn’t believe it. He is a native to Zhangjiajie which made everything all the better.
If you are a foreigner traveling to Zhangjiajie, I really recommend staying here. Not only is this homestay cozy and quiet, but Issac is also knowledgable and will help you with all the small details of your trip!!
10/10! I wish I could give this place higher than 5 stars! If I come back to Zhangjiajie again, I will stay here! Recommending this place to all my friends traveling! :)
