penglai manshe homestays

If you are in Penglai you definitely must stay at the Penglai Manshe Homestays. I can vouch that those stories you read about the amazing lady owner & her concern for her guests are indeed all true. In our case when we contacted her after booking she immediately responded. Then when we initially couldn’t place our Didi order to her place she offered to pick us up. It wasn’t necessary in the end but we were very moved by her thoughtfulness. Plus she was a ready fount of information regarding the attractions in the area. She also welcomes us to keep close contact with her on WeChat. So, if you stay here you are assured that you will be safe in her capable hands, something to consider for clueless foreign visitors! The room itself was another wonder. She upgraded us to a ground floor room with smart facilities. The bright & airy room was indeed lovely. Everything was carefully planned and in smooth working order. The bedsheets & towels were good quality stuff. We absolutely love them. And don’t get me started on the location! It is walking distance to the Eight Immortals attraction and a short ride to Penglai Pavilion. The seafood restaurant around the corner offers cheap but delicious seafood with huge portions. So this place definitely has a lot going for it!

The room was spacious and comfortable, with a nice sitting area by the window. We could walk to the sea in less than 10 minutes. The curtains were controlled by a smart speaker (Xiaomi) so if you can't speak Chinese it might be hard to open the curtains 😂.
