Scenic Hotels in Nanping

"Returning to Zhejiang from Fujian, I chose to rest here for a while, but I didn't expect a surprise. The hotel is on the edge of the city, very quiet and has a good environment. Although it is small but exquisite, the facilities are quite new, and it can indeed be called a boutique hotel. The parent-child room is large and has a balcony, which is relatively breathable. Milk and bread were also delivered in the evening. Parking is convenient, there is an underground garage, and the signs are very clear, so it is not difficult to find at all. It's very close to Wanda and convenient for eating. The bedding is also soft and comfortable. The bathroom shower is huge. All in all, very satisfied and recommended."

"This place makes me wish there was an option for six stars. I study Asian art for a living, and I travelled to Jianyang to visit the home of Jian ware, classic tea bowls of the Song dynasty (960 to 1279 CE), distinguished by their black and brown glazes. Over the last few decades, firing Jian ware in the Song tradition has been revived in the area. I chose Nanping Colourful Village Homestay because it was in Jianyang, affordable, and accepted international guests. What I found was a luxury resort with all the warmth and personal attention of a homestay. I asked the front desk about an excavated Song kiln site in a nearby village, and the receptionist brought me the manager, who arranged for someone to take me the next day. My driver was Ms. Huang, an employee of the resort whose job involves buying and selling contemporary pieces. She knew everything about Jian ware! The kiln site isn’t run as a tourist site, so I was only able to view it because Ms. Huang arranged for it to be opened for me. I had told them I was vegetarian, so for lunch they took me to lunch at a vegetarian buffet. Then we visited the town’s Jian ware museum, where they have exhibits on the history of tea and Jian ware, historical pieces, and the work of contemporary Jianyang potters. To my delight, Mr. Gao, the potter-in-residence at the resort, uses a Song-style wood-fired dragon kiln, built right on the grounds! His pieces that range from beautiful but quite affordable to exquisite and appropriately expensive. They include both iridescent silvery oil spot and orange-to-black hare’s fur pieces. I am still thrilled that I was able to purchase wood-fired pieces on my limited budget. For dinner, the resort’s restaurant prepared vegetarian versions of Fujian cuisine for me. The food was all delicious, featuring classic Fujianese mountain ingredients like local bamboo and mushrooms. Then we visited Mr. Gao’s dragon kiln, and later his studio, where he experiments with different local clays and glaze recipes. The rich colours and iridescence of Jian ware are the result of the iron-rich local material fired at high temperature, and the results are as unpredictable as they are beautiful. The next day, they drove me to Mr. Chen’s family tea plantation in the mountains, where they grow famous northern Fujian teas. These fine teas were all wonderful, smooth and rich with a touch of smoke, and sometimes fruity in flavour. We strolled through mountainsides of tea bushes and visited groves of centuries-old tea trees. This is a perfect place for an immersive experience in China that is also very comfortable and convenient. I often find tourist experiences in China claustrophobic due to the press of people, but the resort was spacious and airy, and they took me to places where there was no one else but us and the occasional local going about their business. Everyone was very patient with my limited Chinese language skills. They were also happy to work with translator apps on our phones, so if you don’t speak any Chinese, you will be fine. This would be a great place to come as a family. There are gardens and rides for kids right next to the resort. You can learn how to whip Song-style tea and carve your name into the base of your own Jian ware cup. Not far away is a historical theme park with a collection of real architecture from the Ming (1368 to 1644 CE) and Qing (1636 to 1912 CE) dynasties. The employees wear period dress and there are performances and activities. Nearby there are hiking trails, historical sites, and lovely villages to visit. It’s also very close to Wuyi Mountain National Park, so it would be a perfect place to stay if the mountains are your destination. If you ask, they could arrange for you to visit famous sites or take you to breathtaking places that only locals know, whatever you want. They can also arrange transport to and from the train station or airport."

"The facilities in the room are relatively simple. It is enough to use. After all, it is Hanting, and there is nothing to blame. The front desk service attitude is not good, and it should not be called. Breakfast is very poor, poor, poor. The breakfast buffet is very small, the worst review point, I don’t know what to eat in the morning, if I don’t have to add breakfast here in a hurry, go out and eat. There is no main control of the lights, there is an old-fashioned switch. There is no separation of wet and dry. The layout of the bathroom is unreasonable, the bathroom glass door and the bathroom door conflict, and it is very troublesome to enter and exit. To sum up, it is very Hanting, there is no new Hanting living in a small all-season feeling."

"First, they offer one of the largest and finest buffets I've seen. The facilities are clean and first class. This hotel appears to be used for many conferences. It's quiet and conveniently located. I would definitely go there again."

"The hotel is clean and sanitary overall, the lobby environment is comfortable, there is a light aromatherapy smell that is very nice, the room type is comfortable, the bed is soft and comfortable, the rest at night is very comfortable, the sound insulation effect is good, I will come again next time! !"

"The first time I stayed at this hotel, I was really surprised! From the beginning of entering the lobby, every staff member smiled and made people feel very warm. We booked a deluxe double room, the room was very clean and tidy, the mattress and pillows were moderately firm, and I slept until dawn, and the view outside the window was very wide."

"The room isn't big, but it's very clean and odor-free. The mattress and pillows are super comfortable. The location is quiet yet central, perfect for relaxing. There's convenient parking right at the entrance. Plus, there are lots of great food options nearby, easily accessible by foot or shared e-bike. Highly recommended!"

"The location of the hotel is not bad, the room space is quite large, the breakfast buffet is OK, the room equipment voice control is very convenient. The view outside the window is good. There is its own parking lot, that is, the parking lot is not big."

"There are all handsome guys and beauties at the front desk, and the service is attentive. I like that handsome guy with big eyes, I wonder if he has a girlfriend❤️ The hotel is in a good location, just opposite Lin Vocational College. The room is very spacious and the decoration should be the best in the neighborhood besides the Accord Hotel. Confession, little brother, I want to be your girlfriend! It rained that night and you took the initiative to lend me your umbrella. I will always remember it~"

"The room was good, the sanitation was quite clean, there was a dirty quilt in the cabinet, I don't know if it was used by the last guest. The roll paper in the bathroom was not added in time, and it was added by calling the front desk. The phone may have been used for too long and no one used it, and it fell gray. Overall, it is quite good, very close to the city center."
