Shanyu Life and Huangshan Design

Our weekend stay here was incredible! The staff were so pleasant and constantly made us feel welcome with fresh fruit and friendly greetings. We really enjoyed the free shuttles to the park entrance, delicious food at the hotel, and of course the free room upgrade (谢谢！）. The hotel also has an excursion to a nearby family tea plantation, meaning you can see the most beautiful views of the surrounding mountains ALL TO YOURSELF. The view from the tea plantation was better than any sight we saw in Huangshan Park, and one of the most beautiful views I have seen in my life. We will be back!

We had a relaxing stay here at 山语! The accommodation was a 10-minute drive to the entrance of Huangshan. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food, while not the cheapest, was so delicious that we ended up having two dinners here during our three-night stay. The accommodation is aesthetically on point, with modern and stylish decor. Since we visited in November, we did note that there was only heating available, but this was not a major issue for us since it a little chilly outside. Overall, it was a cosy escape for us and we will be back if we visit Huangshan again! Bonus: They have an adorable kitten that we absolutely adored!!

Amazing snacks and service! There’s also a little cat at the entrance :) note that the tea mountain service will cost you but it’s so worth it for the views and vibes!!

My favourite stay out of all of the accomodations I've stayed in China thus far. Serene yet convenient location close to everything you need. Owners will arrange drives to anywhere you need to go. The food at this homestay is better than anything you could find in town and the portions are generous. During the time that I was there, they coordinated my drives to and from Huangshan, took care of my drive to and from the train station, and coordinated my daytrip to and from Hongcun. The front staff are absolutely lovely and provided me with a lot of fresh fruit and snacks. The rooms are simply gorgeous and there was no better way to unwind after a long hike at Huangshan than to take a dip in their bathtub with the complimentary bath salts. There's even a cute little kitten out front. Don't even hesitate to book this place and be sure to not only try their tea, but also try their mijiu (rice wine).

We are tourists from Indonesia with very little Mandarin speaking ability. And we travel with a 5 years old. We choose this place to stay during our Huangshan hike trip with little expectation. Turns out, even with language barrier they managed to assist us beyond 5 stars! The communication started before our arrival, they checked on us and making sure we have easy journey to their hotel. They offer very reasonable price for pick up & drop off service to Huangshanbei Railway Station with a comfortable Tesla. I had a really pleasant stay at their hotel. I have travelled few places before but my stay at Shanyu is something very memorable to us, especially for my daughter. Their warmth welcome, smile, hospitality, and kindness are communicated through the beautiful bedroom (they upgraded our room!), environment (they have tea plantation at the back), and their cuisines are amazing!! We had dinner at their restaurants each night and we like it so much (including my picky eater daughter). On my hiking day, they caringly prepared us raincoat, climbing stick, and takeaway snacks. They even drop and pick us up on the Huangshan tourist center. The only regret we have is we stay for 2 nights only.
