The hotel within the scenic area is relatively easy to find. However, first-time visitors will still need some time to navigate and get their bearings. I chose to stay inside the scenic area because I was worried about wasting time commuting and not having enough time to explore. I was traveling independently: high-speed train + bus + walking. Staying inside allowed me more time to play and enjoy the night view. The 3-yuan ferry had incredibly long lines, and several times I missed the boat because it was already full. But how could I not get on a boat when staying inside the scenic area? This hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the ferry and ticket office. I went early in the morning to queue for the first boat, and not only did I get on, but after disembarking at the East Gate, I bought another 3-yuan ticket and took a round trip. It definitely made staying inside the scenic area worthwhile. The hotel's decor and environment are quite good. The owner is a tea merchant who runs the hotel as a sideline and is very busy. I had read previous reviews and assumed the owner was trying hard to control their impatience, being as polite and friendly as possible to guests, and answering all questions. Anyway, I was only staying for one day, so I didn't care much about the owner's enthusiasm. However, I have a suggestion for the owner: if there's only one cleaning staff member, they could simplify their work by making things easier. Toiletries, towels, bath towels, cups, toilet seat covers, etc., could all be replaced with disposable items. This would significantly reduce the amount of washing and changing work, and they would only need to clean the room and change the bedding after guests check out.
