Homestays in Jiangxi, China

this is gonna be a full review and honest opinion based on my experience while i was here. im a female hijabi from malaysia. as someone who came here alone, i felt very very safe and comfortable while im staying here. 1. let’s start with the owner first. fyi this stay is run by a mother and daughter. the owner is so sweet and very helpful 😭 couldn’t thank her enough. 🙏🏻 before i came here, i prayed to so hard that Allah will sent me good people to ease my journey in China, and He listened. for some reason, my Alipay and Wechatpay got problems to make payment. so i was really really hungry for the whole day because i couldn’t buy any food and i don’t have any cash. thankfully I still have my instant noodle, so i asked the owner if i could have a plastic bowl, that alone would be enough so i can eat. soon she came upstairs with 2 plastic bowl and 2 chopsticks. after that, i was trying to charge my phone but apparently my universal charger wasn’t universal-ing?? 💀 so i asked the owner again if she got any charger for me to borrow. and yes she even offered to sent it to my room. mind you my room was at the highest level of that building (lvl 5 if im not mistaken )😭 i feel bad but thankful at the same time. the next day, i finally solved my problems by using Touch n Go. thankfully that worked. since then i had trust issues with online payment, so i decided to exchange some RMB cash with the owner. fast forward she did helped me, and she found out that i was hungry 😭😭 look at the picture that i included if you wanna see. she gave me A BOX of food and some water 😭 . i don’t think you could get this kind of hospitality elsewhere 🥹 that’s how you know the owner actually cared for people who are staying with her. very thankful for that!! (forgot to include at the beginning, when i arrived there, the owner helped me to carry my luggage all the way to my room. no lift btw. she strong 💀🙏🏻) 2. now let’s talk about the room. basically it’s a 5 star hotel room that is located far from shanghai with cheeeeaper price. amazing!! comfy bed, pretty lights, soft and high quality toothbrush, clean toilet with warm seats (very comfortable!!!), clean shower with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided in big sized bottle. there are steam iron for you to iron your clothes as well (can ask it from the owner, she’ll help you with that.) honestly i have nothing to complain. even the curtains are automatic. just come here and experience it yourself. i wish i could stay a little longer because of the bathtub 😞 and yeah don’t worry about *****. at first i was worried if the room was cheap because it’s ******* but nahh, i had fun!! 3. transportation. they offer transfer service from train station to their hotel for 35 yuan/person. 140 yuan if you don’t want to share with others. if you’re heading back to the train station, the fare will depends on what time you’ll be going from the hotel. in my case, i have to check-out at 7:30AM since my train will depart at 09:50AM. its very early so fare costed me 60 yuan. so yeah if your train departs early then you should take note on this one. on the other hand, the owner will take you to wangxian valley for free (and return as well) which is very convenient. 4. food don’t worry about food because there’s so many food you can get just by walking. i also saw some white tourists walking around and eat there. but a little heads up to muslim brothers/sisters, the only halal restaurant here is located inside the wangxian valley. so do yourselves a little favor, make sure you have enough food before you come here. as for drinks, you can get auntea jenny there by walking 🫶🏻🫶🏻 10/10!! it was really worth it!!

Clean and hygienic, the boss is very enthusiastic, can park, can wash, slippers are generally in the four-star five-star hotel to appear in the proportion of high, the homestay has such hygiene and supplies is very good, the price is so close to the people, it is recommended to stay. Driving to the scenic spot for ten minutes, eating a street at the door.

We were very welcomed by the boss here in this place! The hotel is very clean and the breakfast is delicious. They provide free shuttle to the valley and also serve dinner and lunch for a very good price. We had dinner there when we arrived and the food was very tasty. The boss and her family are very nice and friendly. They also help us get a shared car back to the train station. I highly recommend this place!

We were traveling with our dog, so we had to book a pet-friendly hotel on the way. By chance, we stayed in this B&B. This is a hotel like a paradise. We drove a long mountain road to get in, which was thrilling. When we arrived at the hotel, we were amazed. It was very beautiful! It is backed by mountains and faces the lake, with beautiful scenery. Especially when we woke up early the next morning, the air quality was super good, with insects and birds singing, and returning to nature was great. I hope I can come again in the future if I have the chance👍👍👍

The house was clean and tidy, and the landlady was incredibly welcoming. She helped us find a shared ride as soon as we got off the train, and then personally picked us up near the scenic area to take us to our hotel, saving us the trouble of taking the cable car up the mountain. She even helped us with our luggage. Whenever we saw the family, they always greeted us with smiles, which warmed our hearts. I highly recommend their food; it was delicious and inexpensive. They also helped us call a car when we left. Of course, Huangling is also very beautiful. It was a very happy day.

Shuttle service from Wangxian Valley Scenic Area entrance to the guesthouse: The owner offers convenient pick-up and drop-off. Service: Great. The breakfast was delicious, and there are many restaurants nearby. It's very close to the scenic area, the property is brand new and spotless, and the room is quite spacious, making it easy to store luggage.

We stayed for 3 days in this lovely hotel, the lady running the place was really nice and helped us organising trips in the Wuyuan area. From the terrace you have a great view of the village and can take great photos. The rooms are spacious and offer everything you need. The lobby/ breakfast area has a lot of charme, since all the furniture is from another era and so the place just feels very original and homey. Even though on 2 of 3 days we were the only guests, we got a full buffet of delicious Chinese food for breakfast, including a good coffee. The organised trips with Mister Yu were such a pleasure, he showed us the best spots in the area and was a really good driver.

The place is super clean and tidy, and the owner is really welcoming and helpful. They even offer shuttle services to and from the scenic spots. The guesthouse itself is perfectly located – it's quiet despite being central, not directly on a busy street, which is fantastic. Seriously, great value for money!

The room was very nice and clean, and the accommodation is just a few minutes' drive from the entrance to the scenic area. There are plenty of restaurants along the same street as the property. The only downside was that from 5:00 AM on there was a lot of noise and people talking in the stairwell and at the reception.

We came for a biking holiday. We stayed 4 nights. We left every morning on a different biking route. Lots of roads and villages. We each had a guest room. I was disappointed that I had the smallest room but they thought I wanted to be on the same floor as my friends. They moved me to the 2nd floor and now I had the same HUGE place as my friends. In the sitting room, is an L-shaped couch. It pulls out as a bed. So I guess this room could fit up to 4 people. The shower is huge. There is plenty of space to wash our bikes. The sauna/hot air thing was great for drying our clothes too! Had we been more people, we probably would have rented one of the bigger places and shared instead of getting our own guest rooms. It's fairly quiet. Breakfast was served in a separate traditional building. Normal Chinese breakfast, but asked for the noodles with the fried eggs! The kitchen staff were very accommodating when we asked if we could have breakfast at 7 am. Also, we asked for a late check-out because we wanted to shower after our ride. They let each of us have our rooms till 4pm at no charge. It would be great if the stone tiles could be power washed as it was quite slippery when it rained. I didn't have my driver's license but I needed to go pick up my friend and his broken bike. So I went back to ask the manager if he could drive our car 35 km to pick up my friend. He was happy to drive me! The sign to the guest house was not installed but if you look for the castle-like building, you'll find it. It was tricky getting to the hotel because we arrived late and it was absolutely chucking down with rain. This is a great, gorgeous place if you want peace and quiet. My room had a river view. Great for relaxation. Highly recommend this place.
