LLangduozhaosheWhile the price isn't cheap, it's absolutely worth every penny. We checked in on June 21st, and the front desk even upgraded our room. The hotel environment is lovely, and there's a forest boardwalk nearby, perfect for a stroll.
The hotel's location is excellent, right by the Old Mountain Gate of Changbai Mountain's North Gate. It's just a stone's throw away from the entrance, allowing guests to use the North Gate VIP lane and the Tianchi shuttle VIP lane, saving a significant amount of time waiting in lines.
Dining options are a bit pricey. Other than a nearby Crowne Plaza hotel, there are no other dining establishments in the vicinity. For example, an egg fried rice costs 38 RMB, pork and cabbage dumplings 48 RMB, and the taste was just mediocre. The 'Liu Rou Duan' (sautéed sliced pork) was a bit tough at 99 RMB per serving, 'Di San Xian' (stir-fried potato, eggplant, and bell pepper) was 48 RMB, and a bowl of rice was 5 RMB. Breakfast, however, was quite plentiful, offering items like noodles, tofu pudding, and more. The hot springs are great, with multiple indoor and outdoor pools, each offering different temperatures.
Finally, regarding Tianchi Lake on June 22nd: After waiting all day, the fog only cleared around 4 PM, but it was well worth our day-long wait in the cold wind.
