Qi Great Wall Qingchuan Upper Cave Cliff Hotel
Every year I spend some of my savings to experience a different hotel. But I seldom write travel notes. There are several reasons why I decided to write a travelogue this time:
First of all, I am very grateful to Ctrip and the hotel for giving me a very satisfying and unique trip. The design of this hotel is absolutely stunning.
1 Travel to Zibo during the Spring Festival. If you search for Zibo hotels, Tanxishan Cliff Hotel and Qingchuan Upper Cave Cliff Hotel will not appear in Ctrip's hotel directory. When I arrived in Zibo, because I was not satisfied with the hotels I booked in the city, I found this hotel in the process of looking for hotels, and it was already full. So, I think I will come to this hotel again. That's why this trip happened.
2 I booked the hotel on the Cliff Hotel through Ctrip. Thanks to Ctrip and the hotel for upgrading me from the cliff hotel to the cliff side of the cave on Qingchuan, the Great Wall. The fee here is more expensive than the cliff hotel, and it is cleaner and the scenery is better. The hotel has just opened, and the room I stayed in was Room 402, on the 2nd floor. There is a super large terrace upstairs. I like to read. In the upstairs room, I can sit on the floor, read and enjoy the scenery. There is no bed upstairs, which is suitable for self-cultivation and meditation.
The real reason for writing 3 is because of the meal at this hotel. I have eaten all kinds of food from all over the world. The originality of each dish in this hotel is remarkable. Breakfast and dinner are included in the price. I also ate here for lunch. Local food, Cantonese food, Western food. Very authentic. Mr. Chen, the service manager of the hotel, introduced me to the structure of each dish. From the words, it shows the love for the hotel and reveals that the general manager of the hotel is a gourmet and a super chef who can cook.
4 The service staff of this hotel are like friends, with few service traces. From the two girls at the front desk to Mr. Bian, the driver who picked us up down the mountain, to Mr. Chen and a girl in the restaurant, they are all remarkable.
Let me share some information about this hotel that I think is useful for Ctrip travelers. As the seasons change, the information I say will be out of date and is for informational purposes only.
1 Tanxi Mountain is an hour's drive from Boshan Ceramics Grand View Garden in Zibo City. Passing through the Taihe Reservoir, what a big reservoir. After navigating to Tanxi Villa, stop the car and call the hotel 20 minutes in advance, and the hotel will have a car to pick you up. If there are few tourists and I have excellent driving skills, I can drive the car to the hotel entrance under the leadership of the driver. For those who enjoy driving and those who like to explore, the eighteen bends of the mountain road plus a long curved cave are a good travel experience. The mountain road is in excellent condition, but there are many bends.
2 Qingchuan Upper Cave Cliff Hotel is located higher than the Cliff Hotel, on the top of the cliff. The cliff hotel is connected by a glass bridge, and the cave cliff is more peaceful. The two hotels are about 10 minutes walk apart, and there is a door in the middle, and you can enter and exit freely by showing your room card. But without a room card, it is impossible to enter the cliff side of the cave, which is more private.
3 Catering at the Cave Cliff Hotel is a set meal, with meat and vegetables according to the taste, and the time can be reserved. I think this kind of private customization is more suitable for my own temper.
4 The hotel's book bar is very distinctive, and I almost stayed up all night reading the books in it.
5 Most importantly, let me talk about the scenery and experience: Standing in the room, one side of the wall is the wall of a huge cliff, and the other side is the top of the cliff. Birds fly under my feet, and clouds accompany me. The moon is in the sky in the early morning, and the stars are dotted. Sunrise over the cliff at the breakfast restaurant. It’s something you can’t experience without staying. My room has a bay window platform, and there is a super large terrace upstairs that leads to the restaurant. From the platform terrace, you can see the mountains and mountains outside. You can only experience it by yourself.
There is a helipad on the roof of the hotel. It feels a bit like the Temple of Heaven in Beijing to take a photo.
6 The hotel is located in the Tanxi Mountain Scenic Area. It takes only ten minutes to walk from the hotel to the scenic area, such as Beauty Cave, Glass Bridge, Rafting, and Legend of the Starry Sky. Show the card high-altitude elevator, shuttle bus, etc., you can take it casually, and take the shuttle bus to go back and forth to the 18th bend of the mountain road up the mountain again. Legend of the Starry Sky really made me feel childish and Disney-like. I will post some photos of the Beauty Cave, it’s amazing.
Maybe the hotel in summer will have more singing of birds, waterfalls and cicadas. If the opportunity comes again, it will be a different scene. The hotel is best to travel for three days and two days, arrive at the hotel early and leave later. One day and one night is too rushed. Ctrip's service at the Cliff Hotel is very good. Qingchuanshang currently needs to call the hotel to make a reservation or book through their small program during the trial operation stage.
I hope that the hotel can make the business more detailed, and provide the hotel's service items and Tanxishan travel items to the passengers in more detail. Best served in advance.
Thank you Ctrip and the hotel.
