bonbon518The room was very clean, decorated in a Muji style, warm and comfortable. The guesthouse is located below the Jiuhua Mountain archway, costing around 100 yuan, and is very close to the visitor center (less than 500 meters). It's about 1.3 km from the Dayuan Cultural Park. I highly recommend staying at the foot of the mountain! The host even gave us some travel tips, haha, but we didn't listen to him and ended up walking around the front of the mountain twice! Before leaving, the host even gave us blessed amulets—such a warm family! Also, their breakfast was delicious! May Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva bless us 🙏

KamiThe hygiene was excellent.
**Environment:** Very good. It's located above a supermarket, requiring about twenty to thirty steps to climb. There's no private parking available. A frustrating point was that the water supply to Jiuhua Mountain was cut off both at night and during the day. However, it's very close to the main entrance.
**Service:** The owner and staff were both very enthusiastic and wonderful. They even gave me a string of prayer beads when I left, which I really appreciate. I wish the business prosperity!

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.

Guest UserThe staff (小谢)was very friendly and helpful. She picked us up at the entrance to Jiuhuashan scenic area 迎仙桥站. Our room was on level one near to the main door, very convenient for elderly couple like us. We asked the host to prepare dinner for us for 2 nights at reasonable price. On the last day, they even helped us to book a private car hire to fetch us all the way to Jiuhuashan station, saving us the hassle of queuing for the bus with heavy luggage cases. Kudos to the staff and highly recommended.

Guest UserThe guesthouse boasts a fantastic location, with an artificial lake right outside. I stayed in a mountain view room, and the view from my window was breathtaking. The windows were also very soundproof, making it quiet at night. While the room's decor was simple, it had everything you needed. For this price, what more could you ask for? Excellent value for money! Oh, and the owner was incredibly kind, helping me solve many problems. When I left my hat in the room at check-out, he even mailed it back to me. Thumbs up! 👍

Guest UserI highly recommend Baofojiao Youth Hostel for solo travelers to Jiuhua Mountain. The rooms are very clean and odor-free. The bathroom has a smart toilet, and the cleaning staff keeps it spotless. There's a very friendly cat at the hostel; I heard it was a stray cat adopted by previous volunteers, and it's incredibly cute. The staff are also very friendly and patiently explain the Jiuhua Mountain itinerary. Sitting on the bench outside the hostel and just relaxing is especially comfortable.

I forgot to take pictures. It was a guesthouse I booked the night before my trip to Jiuhua Mountain, located near the high-speed rail station. It was a converted restaurant/farmhouse. The family of three had a very well-behaved little daughter. The room was large and clean, the air conditioning worked well, and the hot water came quickly. It rained that night, and my quick-drying overalls dried in less than two hours. The owners were very welcoming and offered to pick me up from the high-speed rail station. Because there were few other residents nearby, it was incredibly quiet at night. The only downside was that it was inconvenient to buy things; I was startled by several dogs, and oh, I also killed three mosquitoes. The owners even asked the uncle who was dropping me off at the station to help me buy some snacks at a small shop along the way. They were a very kind family. I wish their little shop continued success under the protection of Buddha.

Anonymous UserConveniently located, only 500 meters from the visitor center and close to Dayuan Cultural Park. Rooms are fully equipped.
Cleanliness: Very clean, no unpleasant odors.
Environment: Many shops nearby, convenient for dining, but sometimes they can be noisy. It doesn't disturb normal rest at night.
Towels are stiff; it's recommended to bring your own toiletries.
Overall, a good experience. Recommended for those who don't want to live too far from the visitor center.

Guest UserIt happened to be in the vicinity of this demand. I didn't expect that the conditions in our homestay were very good. All aspects of the sanitary conditions were actually very good around the same place, so it completely exceeded expectations, and then the proprietress service was also very good. Overall, the stay experience is very good, I hope I will come again if I have the opportunity.
Service: The boss's service is well received.

YaoqugengguangkuodeshijieyaThe owner was very welcoming, and the house was nicely decorated, though the pictures don't quite do it justice. I'm not sure how to write this review, but the room was definitely a bit noisy. It got extremely noisy at night with the air conditioning on. The car horns on the street were very noticeable throughout the night in our room. But thankfully, since we were visiting a temple, we all woke up early, so the room was basically an automatic wake-up call; we didn't need an alarm clock at all.
