[2025 Changsha Stay] Travel Guide for No. 5 Valley (Updated Apr)

Valley No. 5, a complex reconstructed from century-old Xiangxi homes, infuses the wild spirit of Xiangxi stilted buildings into contemporary design, creating a zen space where urban life converses with nature. The hotel founder spent years collecting century-old houses on the verge of collapse from the Xiangxi region, carefully numbering and dismantling the time-weathered beams, carved doors, windows, and gray tiles. These were transported to Changsha where local master craftsmen rebuilt them using traditional mortise and tenon techniques. The guest rooms here reject the coldness of standardized hotels, with each room possessing its own unique soul. Copper pipes cleverly embedded in the walls bring the sound of flowing streams indoors, creating the most natural lullaby. The exquisite lighting design transforms the swaying shadows of bamboo groves outside into dynamic ink paintings on the walls at dusk. The bedding is meticulously selected 60-thread count organic cotton. The restaurant at Valley No. 5 adheres to the "food mileage" concept, with seasonal produce from within a 30-kilometer radius taking center stage on the menu. Spring's wild fern salad with thunder bamboo shoots is so crisp and tender you can taste the mountain rain, while autumn's smoke-cured bacon with local red-skinned potatoes exudes rich nostalgia. Three kilometers east of Valley No. 5 lies an abandoned quarry that has formed a stunning azure mineral lake, perfect for meditative swimming; five kilometers northwest, an ancient papermaking workshop still maintains Ming Dynasty crafting processes, where visitors can personally make xuan paper embedded with flower petals.

Check in at Changsha's number one internet celebrity homestay – No.5 Valley||The tail end of September, Checked in at Changsha's number one internet celebrity homestay, No.5 Valley. Travel: Self-driving. Public transportation seems inconvenient, it is recommended that friends drive there, it took me about 1 hour to drive from the vicinity of the Broadcasting and Television Station. Convenient parking is available inside the hotel. Stay: The overall feel of the homestay's decoration style is simple yet comfortable, the rooms are large, and most of the facilities in the room are made of wood and bamboo materials, surrounded by large glass windows, allowing you to see the outside scenery at any time, giving a feeling of being integrated with nature. The hardware conditions in the room are relatively high-end compared to other homestays, with a large bathtub in the bathroom, comfortable bedding, and a projector and screen in the bedroom, which is a good choice for watching a movie at night. After all, the price is also beyond five-star, and everything you eat and use in the room is free of charge. Food: Breakfast is included in the room rate, quite rich, with Chinese-style corn, sweet potatoes, shumai noodles, as well as Western-style milk, soy milk, bread, and coffee. Quite satisfying. Lunch and dinner can be ordered separately, 150 yuan per person, with more than 20 kinds of farmhouse dishes, each person can choose 2-3 dishes. Personally, I find the price a bit expensive, the taste of the dishes is okay, but not amazing. Fun: The most distinctive feature of the hotel is probably the infinity pool, which is great for taking photos and checking in, with different scenery in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Additionally, there is an activity to feed small animals at 10 o'clock, which is probably a good choice for those with children. However, there seem to be few small animals. There are ducks, peacocks, and pigeons. Furthermore, the hotel is located in a village, where you can enjoy the quiet of nature, suitable for zoning out and recuperation. About 5 kilometers from the hotel is Tongguan Kiln Ancient Town, which is said to have nice night views, and is also a good choice for those who like lively places. Overall, it is still worth a stay, somewhat similar to Beijing's Mountain Retreat, but on a smaller scale. However, personally, I think it's somewhat exaggerated compared to the promotional claim of being 'on par with Naked Stables'. The cost-performance ratio is also slightly low, around 1000 yuan would be more appropriate, 1600-1800 yuan is a bit expensive.
