Guest User✨ An absolutely amazing stay, I have to rave about it!
This guesthouse I chose in Jiuhua Mountain was a real hidden gem. From check-in to dining, the entire experience was incredibly pleasant.
• The owner and staff were warm and attentive. Whether it was pre-trip inquiries, a pick-up before check-in, or asking for local sightseeing recommendations after arriving, they answered every question with immense patience. It felt just like visiting a friend's home, so comfortable.
The biggest surprise was the homemade food! The pickled vegetable and pork intestine, stir-fried dried bamboo shoots, and tomato and egg soup – every dish hit the spot, tasting exactly like home cooking. The portions were generous, and the flavors were fresh. Even my friend who doesn't like offal praised how clean and flavorful the intestines were. Enjoying such a delicious, hot meal after praying was pure bliss!
• The room also completely exceeded expectations. It was clean and tidy overall, with very new facilities. The bedding was soft and incredibly comfortable to sleep in. The 'Zizai' (meaning 'at ease') sign on the door added a lovely touch, and I had a wonderfully peaceful night's sleep.
The small courtyard was elegantly designed and very relaxing. Sitting there in my free time, feeling the breeze and sipping tea, was incredibly rejuvenating.

Klaus HornetzA truly exceptional stay on Jiuhuashan
I have stayed in many guesthouses across China, but this one stands out in a very special way. From the very first moment, the communication via WeChat was friendly, quick, and reliable – even though my Chinese is limited and the staff’s English is not extensive. Still, everything worked beautifully. Warm, patient, uncomplicated. It already gives you the feeling that you are in good hands.
I stayed for two days, and throughout my entire time there, everything was perfectly organized. I was picked up right on time upon arrival – an invaluable service in a mountain area that can be a little confusing for newcomers. The guesthouse itself is extremely comfortable: warm, well-designed rooms with excellent facilities, a huge screen, electric curtains, cozy bedding, and all the small details that make travel easier. I immediately felt welcomed and well taken care of.
During my stay, the staff assisted me with everything I needed, always with kindness and without any complications. When it was time to leave, they also arranged transport back to my bus at exactly the time I requested. Truly flawless service.
But the most extraordinary highlight was something I did not expect at all: the free guided tour that the homestay organizes for all their guests. They drove us to the starting point, and then we spent the day walking through the misty mountain paths, visiting nine of the most important temples on Jiuhuashan. It was magical – quiet, mysterious, deeply atmospheric. Our guide took wonderful care of everyone, explained so much about the temples, the mountain, the history, and the spirit of Dizang Bodhisattva, and created a sense of depth that went far beyond sightseeing.
This was not a tourist activity.
It was a spiritual and cultural experience – something you can only receive from people who truly love their mountain and want to share it with others. In the fog, among ancient stones, incense smoke, and the sound of footsteps on wet leaves, one begins to understand why Jiuhuashan has been a sacred place for centuries.
My conclusion:
This homestay offers not only comfort, warmth, and excellent service, but also a genuine connection to the spiritual heart of Jiuhuashan. I can recommend Tanxiangyuan Homestay without any hesitation. For pilgrims, travelers, lovers of nature, or anyone seeking a meaningful experience, this place is simply perfect. I am grateful for every moment I spent there.

Had a fantastic stay! The guesthouse is well-equipped and feels really upscale. The room was spacious, stylish, and impeccably clean, with five-star quality toiletries. The mattress was incredibly comfortable. It's just a few minutes from the scenic area, and the owner is super nice. Plus, breakfast was delicious and plentiful!

Facilities: Absolutely pleasant surprise, smart experience
Sanitation: Quiet and warm
Environment: Surrounded by mountains, you can get fresh air from the balcony

No worse than a 4-star hotel, only 2 kilometers to the tourist center, there is a car directly to it. There is a courtyard, billiards, chess and cards, treadmills, teahouses, everything you need. The balcony is really comfortable. No need to say more! You will not be disappointed

Bringing a daughter to Jiuhua Mountain to make a wish, the most comfortable hotel to live in, the bed is oversized, the bathtub has a disposable bath cover. It’s so comfortable to climb Jiuhua Mountain to take a bath! The bed is very big and soft, much more comfortable than the expensive one on the mountain! I also got involved in the Tibetan Bodhisattva's original wish.

Guest UserLocation: Walking distance from the gate entrance for free and easy travellers like us. Not far from all the main attractions in the town area. one of the cable car stations is just 2 minutes away and the bus to the other cable car station (to TianTai temple) is 5-10 minutes walk away.
The hotel also has a small restaurant. convenient if you just want to stay at the hotel at night.
The hotel next door offers great lunch and dinner buffet. We loved the spread.
Only thing that you need to take note is the hotel is located slight higher up the hill, need to walk up/down staircases to get there.

The hotel is located a stone throw away after alighting from the tourist bus at the entrance to scenic area (50RMB to n fro the foot of the mountain). Had already chatted with owner on WeChat n he fetched me after I alighted .
Room is clean and functional .
Am an easy traveller and very satisfied with the hotel. Of course you can walk around and look for a hotel (there are many many hotels !!!!!!) but I think if u pre book u will make your life easier especially if u have a luggage.
He planned the itinerary for me. and it was a very fulfilling walking trip in nature visiting temples and paying respects to 地藏菩萨 .
So many restaurants too!!!!!!!!
He even sent me to the bus station . Thank u
He is a kind soul . He quickly called me when he see me walking in “wrong direction” when actually i wanted to visit the temple next to bus stop .

The Jiuhua Mountains Julong Hotel, which is conveniently located right at the entrance of the Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area. It was very convenient to venture around the mountain by foot. As for food, we didn’t quite get accustomed to the flavors, especially with the spices. The breakfast at Julong Hotel was good, but it can get crowded before 8 am. There is no gym in the hotel. It snowed on the 3rd day and it was chilly. The room was equiped with heater so it was ok. The walkway outside the hotel room can be very noisy, especially with kids running and adults talking. Otherwise, the overall experience was good.

The accommodation was great, and if you're driving, parking is incredibly convenient. We arrived by high-speed train, and the hotel arranged a pick-up for us directly from the scenic area's entrance. On our departure day, we could leave our luggage at the front desk. Later, after we came down from the mountain, a simple call to the hotel was enough, and they sent staff to deliver our luggage to us. Highly recommended.

The boss drove to the ticket office to pick me up. The boss and his family were very friendly. They also brought me a thin blanket at my request. The service was excellent. The room was as shown in the picture. Objectively speaking, it was in line with its price. After all, it was not expensive. It was clean and tidy. The only problem was that the shower door in the bathroom was not closed tightly and the water leaked outside. The water temperature was sometimes hot and sometimes cold.
