Shiyan Hotels with Breakfast

The mountain retreat after a heavy snowfall perfectly captured the essence of the place! The owners were incredibly welcoming, running around busily, providing transportation and even offering hot Huangjing water as soon as we arrived. The next morning, they delivered it directly to the cable car station! The children had a blast playing in the snow; the snow was plentiful, and we happened to arrive at sunset. The owner quickly called us over to look, and the breathtaking beauty of nature truly left no room for words. I must say it three times: the food was delicious! The food was delicious! The food was delicious! The big yellow dog at the restaurant was so friendly! I'd recommend installing underfloor heating; it would be perfect!

This hotel/retreat is an incredibly special place, and I feel so grateful to have come across it in my travels, as it will hold a special place in my memory! I have a strong feeling that I will be back (possibly many times!) in the future. I cannot say enough good things about it, whether it be the beautiful architectural design of the buildings and landscaping of the property, the gorgeous cafe, the zen-like room aesthetic, the calm and nourishing atmosphere of the whole place, the incredibly kind staff, and the nourishing and delicious food (which is made with great attention and care paid to the ingredients (most of which are grown on the farm), and their healing principles according to the elements and Chinese medicine nutrition)). There are free evening healing offerings too, including sound healing, card reading, and other thing, which bring guests together to experience collectively as well, in a beautiful retreat center room. The cafe/lobby building is such a pretty and welcoming space, one could easily spend hours enjoying a conversation or reading a book, or petting one of the many adorable cats that roam the property. Even walking along the meandering path to the hotel from the main road is a beautiful experience, winding through tea fields in this magical valley at the base of steep mountains surrounding it. I have stayed at a number of hotels in China during my travels, but this place is by far my favorite of all of them, for its authentic feel and heartfelt warmth. It truly is a uniquely powerful place for healing and restoration, nestled in such a picturesque, quiet hillside of Wudang mountain!!

The most rare surprise of this trip to Wudang was to visit this homestay, which is quiet in the parking lot of Nanyan Palace, but 200 meters away, but like another place to return to the heart. The environment is elegant, the service is micro-level, and the location is just right. You can explore the golden ceiling cloud smoke on the top and visit the Nanyan Palace under the bottom. What is even more rare is the butler service here, not in a hurry, but considerate everywhere. On the second day, I was rained down the mountain, plus motion sickness, and my body was a little tired. Back to the residence, I prepared a bowl of warm millet porridge. At that moment, the warmth not only rose from the stomach, but also entered the heart. The chef's craftsmanship is also a must, the dishes are simple but ingenious, the weight is practical, and the taste is home. Between one spoonful and one spoonful, they are the warmest hospitality in the mountains.

The owner was very warm and friendly, helping us upgrade our room and providing hiking poles. The hotel's food service seems to be outsourced, but the quality and portion sizes are definitely worth it. Breakfast can be delivered to your room. The hotel's location is excellent, right opposite the bus stop down the mountain. There's a swing terrace at the entrance where you can watch the sunrise. It was my child's first time seeing a sunrise, and we also got to see a sky full of stars, which was wonderful.

Finally got to Wudang Mountain for some much-needed relaxation! This hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The hotel's ambiance is fantastic, especially the large terrace – the view is breathtaking. On a clear day, seeing the distant mountains and sea of clouds instantly brings a sense of peace. The room itself is designed in a new Chinese style, with thoughtful details, and the bathroom looks very high-quality; it was a really comfortable stay. Beyond the beautiful scenery, the overall experience was top-notch! In the afternoon, there's complimentary Shenshi tea, perfect for sitting down, sipping tea, and chatting – so pleasant. Breakfast was also delicious, with a rich variety of fresh options that left me feeling energized. You can also catch the sunset over at Nanyan Palace. The biggest surprise was the free Tai Chi class! Practicing Tai Chi with the instructor on the terrace in the evening, with the sky above and mountain breeze, was incredibly therapeutic. The instructor was very professional and responsible, correcting postures hand-in-hand and patiently guiding us, so even beginners could quickly pick it up. The service throughout was superb, making us feel completely at home. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit to Wudang Mountain!

The location is fantastic, just a one-minute walk to the right from the cable car's upper exit. It's incredibly convenient for watching the sunrise. You can easily catch it from the hotel, next to the tea house, or from the viewing platform which is just a 10-minute walk away. The hotel even provides the sunrise times and recommended departure times. Breakfast and lunch are both available, so you'll have something to eat when you get back. The front desk staff are meticulous, providing timely tips and quickly resolving any issues. The owner is incredibly warm and thoughtful, both practical and meticulous, yet so welcoming 🌹. They even gave us a souvenir when we checked out. Thank you! Wishing them a prosperous business and all the best.

The room is simple and cozy, clean and comfortable, with soft bedding that makes you feel relaxed. It's very quiet at night. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and the local food is delicious. The hotel front desk helped us plan a very practical travel itinerary, saving us from taking too many unnecessary detours. They even thoughtfully reminded us to bring motion sickness patches and medicine, as the winding roads up Shiwangwan Mountain are particularly challenging for those prone to motion sickness.

The overall stay experience exceeded expectations! The high-rise room type booked is really the right choice. The room has a great lighting, and the whole floor-to-ceiling windows directly frame the city panoramic picture. During the day, overlooking the traffic of the entire city building, the evening sunset into the room is full of atmosphere, and the lights are panoramic at night, and there is no need for filters to shoot. The room is spacious and clean, with complete facilities, floor-to-ceiling windows and unobstructed views. Sitting by the window to see the scenery is particularly healing. It is suitable for both travel and photo punching. It is highly recommended that friends who want to view the scenery should choose the high-rise room first!

The environment is fantastic, perfect for a family trip. The butler service is excellent, and the food is incredibly delicious, they even deliver it to your room, which is a big plus. The cleanliness is top-notch, making for a very comfortable stay. Plus, it's pet-friendly, which is awesome!

The location is good. The hotel parking lot is a one-way street, so those coming from the main road should follow the parking lot signs. There is a square and a museum on the side of the hotel. Those who sleep lightly at night should tell the customer service in advance (there are exercises in the morning and amusement facilities in the evening).
