There are three hotels in Huangguoshu Scenic Area, namely Bailian, Yaojia Waterfall Village and Qianshouju.
.
Qianshouju was once the state guesthouse: Huangguoshu Hotel, but because of its age and insufficient reception capacity, it has been renamed and retired. The former "Tunbu Hotel" located in the tourist center and managed by the same group has inherited the mantle and changed its name to "Huangguoshu Guest House". The renovation of the villa area has begun, and the scale should be quite good in the future.
.
Bailian and Yaojia Waterfall Village are separated by a wall. The two are actually in the valley and the waterfall cannot be seen. The Bailian Mid-mountain Tea House, which can see the waterfall, needs to be hiked or taken a car. The minimum tea seat fee starts at 1,000. It is indeed the best waterfall viewing point outside the scenic area, but it is indeed not cheap. The upper floor of the Mid-mountain Tea House is Bailian's most expensive "Waterfall Viewing Suite", which costs 50,000+ per night.
.
It's not that Bailian can't afford it. Instead, Qianshouju is more cost-effective. Qianshouju also has the only suite with a view of the waterfall. It only costs about 1,400 in the off-season. I was lucky enough to stay there this time. It is located at the end of the corridor, next to the observation deck. In fact, the angle in the room is better than that of the observation deck. At night, you can also see the light show of Huangguoshu Night Tour. It can be said that the cost-effectiveness is very high.
.
As a former state guesthouse, the location is also the best. There is a VIP entrance to the park next to the lobby. When you enter by face recognition, there is a large escalator on the left. Generally, the basic operation of staying in this hotel is to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning to enter the park, go down the escalator to take pictures of the unmanned waterfall, walk to the unmanned Water Curtain Cave, and then come back to have breakfast. After eating, go to other points of the scenic spot slowly.
.
For the Water Curtain Cave, which requires a queue of 4 hours in the peak season, this is undoubtedly worth the room fee.
.
The waterfall-viewing suite is nominally 76 square meters, and the layout is quite peculiar. There is a corridor at the entrance, a wardrobe and luggage rack on the right, and a mini bar on the right, with loose tea and Wuyi Mountain Spring. Then the first door is the main bathroom, and you turn right to the living room. The large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room has a waterfall on the left and a viewing platform on the right. The Chinese tea table is pulled in front of the window to take pictures with the waterfall, which is also very good (it is recommended to use a telephoto lens to make the waterfall look bigger).
.
On the other side, there is a sofa set against the wall, a round table and a desk, welcome drinks are provided, and there are handwritten and thoughtful small cards by the cleaning lady in various places in the room, which feels very warm.
.
There is another corridor turning into the living room, and then to the guest bathroom.
.
The bedroom is super spacious, with a bedside bench and a sofa by the window, but there are trees outside the window, the lighting is average, and the mattress is really a hard model suitable for old cadres.
.
The main bathroom has a single basin and a bathtub. The cleaning is done very well. No hygiene problems were found in the whole house. The spare Herborist is also good.
.
Overall, the location is convenient, the first choice for entering the scenic area, and the cost performance is still very good.
