This is a fantastic hotel, and it's my second time staying here.
After arriving at the high-speed rail station, we took a taxi to Zhuangyuanfang. The hotel butler contacted us in advance and came with a camping cart to help us with our luggage. We could just sit back and relax. It’s a pleasant 5-10 minute walk to the hotel. The same goes for departures, which is great.
First, let's talk about the hardware. Although this hotel is located in the ancient city, not far from Zhongtian Tower, it offers a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. It's rich in ancient charm, with several courtyards, all tastefully decorated. It gives off the vibe of a grand scholarly estate, truly living up to its four-hundred-year history as a cultural heritage building.
While the room entrance isn't large, the interior is brighter and more spacious than other ancient town hotels. The decor is simple yet elegant, and it makes for great photos. I especially loved the mattress and pillows; I slept incredibly comfortably.
Now, for the software. Both the staff and the owner are very gentle and enthusiastic, almost always fulfilling our requests.
I particularly enjoyed their breakfast. You can have as much as you want. The congee, brewed by the owner, has a lovely rice aroma, and the black tea leaves a lasting fragrance. Highly recommended.
Pet lovers will be thrilled! There's one dog and three cats, all very friendly and happy to be petted. After breakfast, you can play with them. There are also huskies and quiet beagles that drop by occasionally. We even preferred to stay in the hotel, enjoying tea, reading, and playing with the cats and dogs.
There are also plenty of delicious food options nearby. Next door is a stylish cafe called 'He Shiyi,' worth checking out. A short walk away, you'll find Nan Street Beef Noodles and Ancient City Spicy Hot Pot. Right across from the hotel is a foot spa. After a day of exploring, when your feet are sore, a foot soak here makes you feel ready to walk a thousand miles again the next day.
I cheekily managed to try the proprietress's private stash: her homemade osmanthus wine and plum wine. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, chatting with her in the courtyard, raising a glass to the moon – it was a truly delightful and unforgettable experience, even without a shadow, it felt like three of us celebrating.
Her osmanthus wine is absolutely delicious. It felt like tasting the autumn of 2025, and also the longing from 2022 to 2025.
From now on, this will be the only hotel I stay at when I visit Langzhong. I'm curious about all four seasons here. Moreover, it's not just a place to stay; it's a place where my heart feels at home.
