Oriental Saltlake Shanju Inn

The inn room was really basic and tiny; there was nowhere to put my luggage, so it just sat on the floor. It's a world apart from Yao Lake Town, which I visited before. I arrived around 3 PM on January 1st, thinking I could explore and enjoy until midnight, but there wasn't much going on, and by 9:30 PM, there was nothing left to do. I returned to this so-called inn for a rather dull New Year's Day, only to find another cramped space with rough, gray walls. For over 700 yuan, it didn't even offer a sense of comfort or a cozy place to rest. I thought staying at a scenic area hotel would save me the trouble of driving late at night, but it turned out to be a complete waste of time. I truly felt ripped off on the very first day of 2026. Oriental Salt Lake City is definitely not worth a visit. In the end, I decided not to stay and just drove home instead.

The environment of Shanju Inn is Taoist and antique. The door leads to the courtyard with carved railings and jade bricks, and the green trees are full of vitality. There are winding paths leading to secluded places, and the Zen room is full of flowers and trees. The front desk beauty Sister Zhou is hospitable and considerate. She helps carry luggage, informs the best tour route, and prepares Tremella soup in the evening, which makes this trip more comfortable and pleasant. Thanks again to Zhou Yanhua, Fang Chao, and Cong Yan for their warm and thoughtful service.

It's nice to stay in this hotel with children. You can go back and rest when you are tired at noon. The flower waterfall is very close. The waiters Yang Cuifang and Ouyang are very enthusiastic. They help us and introduce how to play. They also send us off when we leave. The yard is very quiet and not noisy. I watched the drone show and the fireworks show at night. It was very exciting.

The waiters Xue Ying and Zhang Lan at the Maoshan Bird's Nest in Oriental Salt Lake City provided excellent service and were very enthusiastic. They took us to the second floor to watch the fireworks, and after watching the fireworks, they also prepared Tremella, Red Dates and Wolfberry Soup for us. 👍

Oriental Salt Lake City, Xiangyun Inn waiter Yang Cuidi, the service is very good, and the waiter Xiao Jiang patiently explained the activities and performances in the scenic area, and also helped us reserve breakfast. After watching the fireworks in the evening, there was also hot Tremella soup. In short, it was really good
