Exceptional Homestay Experience in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Rating: 5.0 I recently stayed at this homestay in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park with my sister and brother-in-law for 4 nights. As visitors with minimal Mandarin skills, we were delighted by the warm hospitality and personalized services provided by our host. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel at home, serving us homebrew tea and homegrown organic peanuts! They went above and beyond to ensure our trip was enjoyable and stress-free. As DIY visitors, we didn’t book any tours. The host offered great guidance after learning about our wishes. They helped us purchase admission tickets and organized transportation for us every day. This made our daily trips to the national park and other tourist spots incredibly easy and convenient. The place is quiet and absolutely beautiful. We were surrounded by the mountains. The building materials are of superb quality and the insulation is very good, despite the cold weather. The bedding was very comfortable and we all had a good night's sleep. The highlight of our stay was truly these tailor-made services, providing us with recommendations for daily trips, food, and transportation. We enjoyed plenty of delicious healthy food, including a variety of fruits such as grapes, oranges, pomelo, to name but a few! The vegetables and some fruits (like kumquats, figs) were organically grown on the farm. Every meal was homemade and tasty. We even got to try their own specialty tea Mei Cha (莓茶), which was a delightful experience. On a particularly rainy day, the host proactively brought umbrellas to us, ensuring we stayed dry and comfortable. At some of the tourist spots, guides had been arranged to ensure our smooth entry. These thoughtful gestures added a personal touch to our experience, making us feel genuinely cared for. Overall, the owner’s dedication to making our trip enjoyable and successful was evident in every aspect of our stay. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. The personal touch, yummy organic food, and convenient transportation made our trip unforgettable. Thank you to the host for an exceptional experience!

Very friendly

Hunan Hospitality at its best! We had a splendid stay at Shuiyong Jinjiang Hotel. The sweeping mountain views from the terraces, stylish and spotless rooms, gardens full of flowers and hummingbirds, evening walks to pick corn, peanuts, and melons, and delicious homecooked meals (including plenty of fresh veggies and fruit, steaming hot wonton soup and noodles for breakfast) made our stay extremely memorable and relaxing. The staff was extremely kind, generous, and helpful, arranging our pickup from the airport and trips to the various attractions (the “Avatar Mountains” are basically just next door), suggesting different itineraries for each day, informing us of the constantly changing COVID regulations, driving us to do our COVID tests, etc. We REALLY felt like family right away. The whole place is very child-friendly too, and our two young kids loved exploring the area. We can’t wait to go back again!

老闆一家很用心經營的一套民宿，無論是硬件設施和軟件服務都無可挑剔。老闆會幫助規劃張家界遊覽線路，如果在民宿休息也有很多活動，比如採摘、製作莓茶，釣小龍蝦等，大人小孩都超開心。阿姨的菜做的也不錯，有機會會再來。

名宿深藏翠岫邊，柴門犬吠鳥談天。 繞籬瓜豆疑迎客，滿院椿萱似昔年。 炊煙起處親呼飯，土菜香時月墜肩。 醉話桑麻燈影裏，一宵清夢伴雲眠。 嚮往的田園生活，家人的感覺，菜都是老闆家自己種的，衹有簡單的葱姜蒜，吃的食物的本味，沒有科技與狠活，吃完身體都舒暢了。早起的清晨，在大自然面前其他所有都不算事。 鄰居家的大黃狗竟然打不過主人家的貓，我也是服了。
