Huangshan Bai Yun Hotel

I stayed overnight at Baiyun Hotel and was thoroughly impressed. The cozy, well-maintained facilities and exceptional service made for a memorable stay. Xiao Yue provided meticulous care, sharing a detailed two-day itinerary via WeChat—including afternoon, sunset, sunrise, and half-day plans that covered most highlights of Huangshan. I adjusted my original plan to visit the Fairy Bridge, and it was absolutely worth it. The next morning, I watched the sunrise, hiked to Xihai, and took the cable car back just before checkout. Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of options. Highly recommended for foreign tourists.

The service was wonderful. They are very attentive. Our account manager Xiao Ye 小叶 was so helpful. She sent us everything we needed to know to have the best chance of seeing sunset and sunrise on HuangShan. We got very lucky with a beautiful sunrise on Bright Summit (GuangMingDing 光明顶). Note: the hike to BaiYun Hotel is hard - 40min from the cable car. Don’t bring anything more than a backpack. Pros: great service, local performance in the evenings, good breakfast. Near 2nd highest peak (guanmingding) for a convenient sunrise location. They provide warm jackets and even vintage old style attire for free for photographs. Near lots of great hiking on both routes to the hotel. Cons: hard hike to the hotel. It’s up hill both ways because it’s in a valley. Hotel is a bit old style, but good. Walls are a bit thin but they can provide you with ear plugs.

The location is excellent, right on the top of the Huangshan summit close to Bright Top Peak. The service was incredible. I booked a the "comfy standard room", and as soon as I got there, they took me around and showed me all the different rooms and asked which one I wanted. I chose the cabin style room and they upgraded me with no upcharge. They actually told me the price for the rooms was the same, regardless of the fact that the trip.com platform listed them as different prices. Just so you know, C-area, which are multi-bed dorms, was not available on trip.com but is available on xiecheng (c-trip, the Chinese version of the app), and is only 300rmb a night versus the 1,200rmb a night I paid for this room. Had I known earlier I would have booked it. Lunch buffet was pretty good though a bit pricey at around 80-90rmb per person, though dinner was outrageous at 160rmb per person, and the food was pretty much the same as lunch. You can get cheaper food at C-area and the quality is about the same. The hotel was extremely generous bringing me snacks, offering free drinks and coffee, giving my friend iodine for his wounds (he was bitten by a monkey on the mountain - no joke, they are fierce here), and even giving me free shoe covers and plastic bags for when it rained. They fully asked for a five star review and even showed me photos of step-by-step what they wanted me to do, but I am more than happy to give a five star review for the level of service. There was even a performance with singing and costumes and dancing in the lobby in the evening, and multiple rounds of free drinks being handed out.

BaiYun Hotel is the most expensive hotel u will find in HuangShan because its situated in the best location of the Front Mountain area. Because of the high attitude , renovation works is not easy , hence the building is old and the rooms are not even as good as those hotel half the price in the cities .But dont get me wrong , i will stay here again if i would to ever visit Huangshan again because of its super location ! The services i received moments after stepping into the hotel haven been wonderful. I was serviced by manager Xinghua ( 星华 ) who have been throwing us with so many goodies / benefits and precious info on sunrise and sunset ! I cannot thank her enough ! Breakfast was disappointing though :( The photo o uploaded is the view from our room . One could even see 云海 ( sea of clouds) right from the room IF LUCKY enough. Unfortunately we are not so lucky as the weather was not perfect.

A very comfortable and relax stay. There's heater in the room and tons of variety of food for both buffet breakfast and dinner. Furthermore, you can add the housekeeper by wechat and contact them at any time. 小叶管家非常贴心，加了微信随时能联系。

We are very pleased with the hotel service especially with our room manager 小叶who has been checking with us regularly if we need any assistance. The hotel location, amenities and buffet dinner, breakfast have been wonderful. They deserve a 6 star rating from us. Definitely 10/10.
