Stay in the wilderness of Baizhang Gorge and tuck the scenery of Zhangjiajie into your daily life

Choosing the right accommodation in Zhangjiajie is really important! I discovered the hidden gem Qique Mountain Villa and stayed for 3 days without wanting to check out. Let me tell you all about the location, rooms, and food~ Location & Environment: The guesthouse is tucked inside the popular Baizhang Gorge, with the iconic Zhangjiajie mountain views right above. The air is filled with the scent of grass and trees, ten times more comfortable than the city! You can drive there directly with navigation, and the parking lot is very spacious, so self-driving travelers have no worries. The best part is how close it is to the scenic area, making it convenient to access all the ticket stations of the National Forest Park, saving a lot of travel time. Rooms: We booked a room with a scenic balcony; opening the curtains reveals distant mountains, and you can watch the sunrise while lying in bed! The room is decorated with solid wood and has a bit of Tujia ethnic style, giving it a warm and gentle feel. Special praise for the bedding—the mattress is soft like Hilton’s, and not damp at all, without the common musty smell found in mountain guesthouses. As someone with cleanliness concerns, I was very satisfied. The common area is the most relaxing spot. The courtyard is lush with greenery, and just a few steps away are stone benches for resting. In the afternoon, you can brew a pot of tea in the tea room and watch sunlight filtering through the leaves, instantly melting away fatigue. If you want to be active, you can grab the badminton rackets provided by the guesthouse and play in the yard. The owner said there are plenty of parking spaces, so self-driving guests don’t have to worry about parking—every detail shows thoughtful care. The food definitely deserves praise! The guesthouse breakfast is freshly made by a local auntie, featuring Tujia smoked pork porridge paired with freshly steamed corn and refreshing pickled sour beans. It’s super filling and keeps you full for an afternoon of hiking. Dinner can be pre-ordered at the guesthouse. I tried the “Tujia Three Pot Stew” and “Smoked Pork Stir-fried with Ferns.” The ingredients are all fresh and local, the taste is much more authentic than the restaurants in the scenic area, and the price is affordable—two people ate until full for just over 100 yuan! No worries about nearby activities! Besides the ridiculously close National Forest Park, the guesthouse owner will also provide you with a personalized travel plan: if you want to visit Yuanjiajie to see the floating mountains, it’s a 10-minute walk to the scenic area’s eco-shuttle station; if you want to explore Tianzi Mountain, they help you plan the best times to avoid crowds; and if you want to experience local nightlife, Wulingyuan Food Street is a 15-minute walk away, where you can enjoy a bowl of cold noodles and buy some kudzu root powder as souvenirs—super convenient! Half of the joy of this Zhangjiajie trip came from this guesthouse! No rushing schedules, no crowded places, just comfortable and free living in the mountains. I really didn’t want to leave. Next time I come to Zhangjiajie, I will definitely choose this place again! 🏠 Mushanjian | Qique Mountain Villa [RoundNails] No. 058, Xiagang Group, Chaqiyu Community, Xiehe Township, Wulingyuan District, Zhangjiajie
