Shuixieshanshe Homestay is a relatively new lodging started by a young couple. The room we stayed in was clean and bright. The room's temperature can be adjusted accordingly, and there is a warm shower that is strong even when 3-4 people use it consecutively.
The lodging is value for money and the young couple managing it goes out of the way to make the place homely and comfortable for the guests. The owner provides complimentary pick-up and drop-off at the Hengshan West Railway station. My elderly mom was ill during the trip and the owner went out of the way to send us to the TCM clinic. We extended our stay for another day due to the kindness and courtesy of the owners.
Shuixieshanshe Homestay is within 5 minutes of walking distance to the Grand Temple of Mount Heng ( Nányuè Dàmiào) which makes it an excellent base from which to explore Mount Heng (衡山)

__
Service:
- The hotel owner himself picked me up and dropped me off at the local Hengshan West high speed rail station.
- The owner was very friendly and invited me to try some extremely high end tea. As I was a solo traveller, he also invited me to eat with him - trying some local dishes and sharing a few beers after.
- The owner offered to do a guided tour of some local attractions.
- The service is very personalised as there are only 12 rooms, with the owner himself personally serving guests and explaining the history of the local area.
__
Property:
- The construction is extremely high quality, with Tang-style aesthetic in the rooms, but a modern, western style common area and cafe. Having visited many boutique hotels in more remote areas, emphasis must be placed on the materials, polish and finish - giving a very sleek feel.
- There is a good balance of water features, with a fishpond where you can feed fish.
- The valley facing rooms have very good framing of the scenery including river and mountains in differing depth peripherals.
- The layout, location and surrounding mountainside adds a strong sense of privacy compared to the city.
__
Room:
- The rooms have high-end Toto bidet toilets.
- Rooms are very clean.
- The front-desk has different scented candles that can be used in your room.
- The furniture and amenities within the room are all brand new and at or above the standard as every 5-star city hotel.
__
Food:
- The owner kindly covered all 3 meals, of which lunch and dinner were more local, as I was joined by the owner and some staff. All meals are a-la-carte made to order by an in-house chef.
- The beef rice noodles with soup was an exceptional breakfast, especially for me who cannot eat very spicy food. (The local cuisine is generally very spicy preference.)
- You can pick fresh oranges in the orchard immediately adjacent to the hotel.
__
Local Area:
- The local area is not as popular for tourism as compared to places like the nearby Zhangjiajie Avatar Mountains. Many attractions are mainly Buddhism related such as temples or a purported 1000 year old Gingko Tree.
- The local Mount Heng can be hiked in under 4 hours.
- The local city is small and the hotel location is somewhat far from the city centre.
__
Overall this hotel provides a very tranquil environment to meditate and destress over tea, while looking at beautiful scenery. For the price point given, it offers a much better value compared to attempting to get the same conditions in the more popular, crowded scenic areas nearby.
If visiting the local city or adjacent Hengyang, this hotel is by far the most unique experience, as almost all other high end hotels are just the high-rise business hotel type.

I came here to know what it is to be at home. The lobby is clean and bright, and there is a dining area. I heard that there is milk tea drink after I heard that there is a meal service. Now the noodles and dishes made by grandparents are really delicious! I will come to live in the future for this meal! Speaking of the room, the quality of the room is far beyond the price. When I went upstairs, the automatic sensor light on the wall of the stairs was on along with my progress. I booked 301 on the third floor. The door said welcome home. The stairs to the fourth floor were still attached to the head. Seeing joy, the details are really super much. It can be seen that the boss's intentions are decorated. After the room was immediately bright, the sensor lights in the whole house were lit one by one. What came into view was a transparent layout, spacious and bright, clean and tidy. A room with a Zen design and a warm feeling of logs was really amazing. 🍵 There are short and scorpion in the area. It’s so cool to sit here and drink tea and eat snacks and play with your mobile phone! 1.5 The twin bed is very comfortable and clean, and there is even a fascia gun at the bedside. Those who come to climb the mountain can use it! All electrical appliances can be awakened or turned off through the smart housekeeper of the whole house, which saves effort. The toilet and shower are separated from wet and dry, the corners are clean and there are no dead ends, the toilet and blue cleaning liquid make people feel very clean, the toilet has small windows, and the ventilation is very good and there is no smell. In addition, there are TVs, small tables, sinks, lamp mirrors, the equipment is very complete and full of details, just as comfortable as in your own home. The location of the homestay is also super convenient. It is just behind the temple. If you want to burn incense and worship Buddha, you can go to the first floor to find your grandmother to buy incense. The price is really convenient. Because there is a short distance from the main road, the noise is very small, the view outside the window is good, if you come by car, you can contact the boss to reserve a parking space. This price is really the best homestay I have ever stayed in! If I insist on the shortcomings, I can live for a day, and I will have the opportunity to come with my friends in the future, and I will stay here!

Guest UserThis hotel really surprised me! First of all, the location is very, very convenient. Wanda Plaza is downstairs. It is great. It is very close to the high-speed rail station. Secondly, the price is very touching. The price is in the early 100s. There are everything, washing machine water heater refrigerator, especially this air conditioner, The effect is great 👍 The projector also comes with its own iQiyi members, and you can watch any movie you want. There is a lake next to the hotel where you live. You can watch the lake view in the evening. It is not too much filming. In short, it is a great trip. Next time you come to Hengyang, you will choose here. Like 👍👍👍.

This store was recommended by a friend, and it really did not disappoint. The lady boss is super nice. She even picked us up from the high-speed rail station for free when we came here. I didn’t understand it when I came here to burn incense for the first time. She even took the initiative to explain the process of ordering incense to us and brought it to us personally. We entered the temple and the explanation was very detailed. The room we stayed in was really clean and had a separate bathroom. It was hard not to like the style, especially. The transportation here is very convenient. It is only a 5-minute walk from Nanyue Temple. There is a food street next to it. I have come to Wanshou Plaza to watch the Olympics together in the evenings and enjoy the cool air. The atmosphere is super good. I really think it is good. I will come again next time.

The room was very good, the service was warm, especially the two receptionists No. 7046 and 7050 at the front desk who took the initiative to upgrade us to a deluxe room in the main building because we were elderly and regular customers. I would like to express my special thanks!

The hotel is great! The location is very close to the temple and also to the mountain! The staff are fantastic! They are very friendly and helpful! They can pick you up and drop you off from the railway station and the bus station! I had to change my travel plans last minute, and they helped me change the drop off time and location! The room is very clean and the amenities are great! The roof has a lovely terrace with a great view of the mountains! The food at the hotel is also great! I ate all of my meals at the hotel, and everything was delicious! If I ever return to hike the mountain, I will definitely stay here!

The hotel is in a very good location. There is a river in front of the hotel. It is very comfortable to walk along the river after dinner. The decoration of the hotel is quite comfortable, and the front desk service is also very warm and thoughtful. The hotel breakfast is also OK, and the rice noodles are delicious.
