4-Star Hotels in Tonglu

## Nestled in Tonglu's Painterly Landscape | A Short Account of Yisongshuling, Lucun Village As the outside world receded, the invigorating spirit of the landscape washed over me. Stepping inside, it was immediately clear that the hosts possess a true appreciation for life. It wasn't about ostentatious 'design,' but rather a subtle integration of modern elements into aged wood, pristine white walls, and warm lighting. The room was spacious, and smart home features silently anticipated every need, making it feel like living in a futuristic poem – a poem, nonetheless, that rhymed with the mountains and the moon. My absolute favorite was the window. Mornings brought mist hovering over the river like a delicate veil, while at night, stars seemed to tumble into the deep, inky mountains. Sitting quietly by the window, listening to the wind whisper through the bamboo and watching water birds glide over the emerald ripples, I suddenly understood why ancient scholars always sought to 'steal moments of leisure' – the sublime beauty of nature is, after all, the most priceless of gifts. The home-cooked meals prepared by Auntie carried the warmth of the earth itself. Bamboo shoots, freshly dug from the back mountain that very morning, and fish, caught straight from the river, were simply prepared. Yet, their exquisite freshness transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen in childhood. Each bite felt like a gentle blessing from the mountains and waters. The staff always greeted us with a smile, striking the perfect balance, like old friends. There was no need to ask; they had already quietly anticipated and prepared everything. And if solitude was desired, they would simply leave you with a tranquil, gentle quietude. Departing felt like waking from a beautiful dream. This wasn't merely accommodation; it was unequivocally a few days spent dwelling in a fairyland. I left imbued with its spiritual essence, and I swear I even 'stole' half a window's worth of its magnificent scenery. —Perhaps true luxury never needs to flaunt itself; it simply, gently restores you to being one with nature. ### Tips * **Room types:** Diverse options available; a mountain view room is highly recommended. * **Must-try dishes:** Auntie's local chicken hotpot and stir-fried wild bamboo shoots. My personal favorite was the freshly made dried vegetable and pork patty – incredibly fragrant! * **Activities:** Take a stroll along the ancient path beside the guesthouse, where you can walk alongside the Fuchun River, with distant mountains as your backdrop. * **Nearby attractions:** It's very close to the Mailing Ancient Path, definitely worth a hike. The establishment was incredibly thoughtful. They helped upgrade our room, and when they heard our friend had to rush for a train and would miss breakfast, they kindly packed some fruit for them to eat on the go. Auntie also kept everything impeccably clean. **”When paradise is here, why search elsewhere?”**

A bright window embedded in the yellow mud wall brings the green mountains caressed by the flowing clouds into view. Oh, isn't this lying in the Fuchun Mountain Residence? The architectural body and interior design of Liuyun Country Villa are impeccable, bright and simple but with everything you need, everything you need but just right. The yellow of the yellow mud is the basic color, the color of the earth, the color of the countryside, blending between the green plants and the shelter of the mountains, like the skin color of a beautiful woman showing her clothes. There is a row of narrow windows between the preserved warehouse wall and the wooden beam roof. Through it, you can see the stars at night and the shadows of the clouds reflected by the moon when you lie on the bed. And it is also the morning call to wake you up in the morning. The housekeeper is a self-deprecating boy who is a little fat. He is polite and enthusiastic, and is simply a warm man. He arranged everything very considerately for us who just arrived, and reminded us of things that we may not have noticed, which made us feel like spring breeze. Looking forward to coming again next time.

This is a treasure inn that I have been thinking about for a long time. After I settled in, it really lived up to my expectations (I immediately decided to stay longer 😂). The renovation of the 200-year-old house, whether it is the design style, decoration materials or the business philosophy of the owner, Sister Liang, is my favorite. Sister Liang's love for the old house is reflected everywhere in the inn. The layout, decoration, furnishings, books, bedding, furniture, and colors are all very thoughtful. Breakfast and dinner (dinner must be booked in advance), most of the ingredients are locally sourced, fresh and authentic, Sister Liang and Auntie's cooking skills are down-to-earth, which makes my sister and I have endless aftertaste! The table is exquisitely laid out, and it is comfortable to look at even if you don't eat. The owner, Sister Liang, is humorous and has the demeanor of a hero. Chatting with her is full of positive energy!

100% positive review! The guesthouse's design is romantic and beautiful, truly stunning. There are also two adorable kittens that made my child incredibly happy. The owners are a very warm and friendly couple, and incredibly attentive. They offered free pick-up and drop-off to OMG Park, which only took a few minutes. The breakfast was exquisite and delicious, and the dinner was super tasty. The owner's wife even worried we wouldn't have enough to eat, so she gave us extra portions, and we ended up being completely stuffed! 😂 Before we left, she even braved the rain to come out and give us a souvenir—so thoughtful! 🥰🥰 I will definitely recommend this guesthouse to all my friends.

A Chinese-style beauty hotel with a sense of design and comfort. The architectural lines are simple and atmospheric, with white walls, logs, and large floor-to-ceiling windows, which combine Chinese style charm with modern comfort. The rooms are spacious, the layout is reasonable, the viewing terrace is excellent, and the mountain view streams are panoramic. The facilities are new and easy to use, the bathroom is dry and wet, the hot water is stable, and the bedding is skin-friendly and breathable. The whole house is clean and odorless, and the public areas are exquisitely maintained. It can be seen that the main person is aesthetically and attentively.

The room was great, and the bathtub was a nice touch. The flowers outside the entrance were the prettiest on the whole street, making for a lovely spot to relax. The reception area had a big projector that played cartoons, which instantly quieted the kids down. Breakfast was delicious, and they even offered sweet or savory zongzi depending on whether guests were from the north or south, which was incredibly thoughtful! The owners were so welcoming and enthusiastic. They gave us excellent directions, offered great tips on where to go and what to see, and recommended fantastic places to eat. All their suggestions felt genuine and helpful, with no ulterior motives. Highly recommend!

Peace and Quiet in the Mountains. This Hotel is a short drive to the south of Tonglu and into the hills. A superb spot for a quiet break away from the noise and busy city life of Hangzhou. The room was spacious and well presented with a huge bed, very large seating area, Mini bar, fridge, air purifer and even a projector with movies. The bathroom was well appointed with a rain shower and huge bath which was amazing for a soak after a day outside. Hot water with good pressure was always available. The towels and toiletries were of excellent quality. Because the Hotel is in the mountains it is advised to pre order food if you plan on eating there as the staff have to go to the market to pick up supplies. We had dinner on our first night and I enjoyed it. The food was plentiful and full of flavour. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks downstairs at the lobby. Breakfast is local style with rice porrige, pickles, egg and some fruit as well as steamed items. You can take a walk nearby though I didn't find any path through the bamboos to the hills which would have been nice. On the second night we took a car to the nearby village for dinner and a walk along the main river.

Beyond the flat plains lie spring mountains, and the grassy path is nestled within them. An hour and a half after departing from Yuhang, the car stopped in front of a shop sign. A small gate, hidden by a grassy path, opened to reveal a vast expanse of lush green lawn, like a thick, verdant carpet. On the lawn stood a five-story industrial-style building—the Grassy Path Guesthouse. The guesthouse's pets were all adorable and friendly: the dogs were domesticated, the cats wild. Dinner at the guesthouse featured a fragrant and sweet hot pot of free-range chicken and vegetables, and flavorful grilled beef and shrimp. Reading, sipping tea, and drinking coffee in the tatami study and tea room—a few relaxing days were truly delightful. As dawn and dusk passed, every step was met with verdant greenery and the sounds of birds and insects. At sunrise, golden rays pierced the clouds and pierced the forests and mountains; at dusk, countless stars shone brightly against the indigo sky. The tranquility of the mountains and fields could cleanse the dust of the world and soothe the soul. I would definitely come back to stay.

The weather has been very good recently. I took advantage of the end of the holiday to bring my family to Tonglu. The hotel environment is great with mountains and water, and the view from the room is also top-notch. The hotel's public area is very large, occupying a hilltop. The children had a lot of fun playing on the lawn. There are also cafes, gyms and swimming pools so they won't be bored. The next day I went to OMG Heartbeat Park, which is not far from the hotel by car for about 20 minutes. I recommend it.

A spring getaway soothed by rapeseed flowers and gentle warmth! 🌼 A trip to Da Le Zhi Ye in Tonglu in March was pure bliss! The rapeseed flowers were in full bloom, a golden expanse that was incredibly soothing. Every snapshot was a masterpiece of springtime beauty, the air filled with the fresh scent of flowers, completely opening up both the eyes and the soul. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the common areas were cozy and stylish, and the rooms offered stunning views. You could see the spring scenery of the mountains and fields right from your bed. The overall atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. A special shout-out to the manager, Xiao Fang! Her service was warm and attentive, providing meticulous care from check-in to check-out. Any problems were resolved promptly; her professionalism and warmth made for a very comfortable and reassuring stay. And the adorable little dog at the front desk, Blueberry 🐶, was so cute and affectionate, playing with us throughout the trip. Its cuteness instantly won us over, making every moment with it extra warm. Spring flower viewing + heartwarming service + adorable pet companionship – the experience was simply amazing! Definitely the top choice for a vacation in Tonglu, I'll definitely come back again! Highly recommended!
