Hongcun Tachuan Academy · daotingxi zhumeisu

The room was very clean, and the service was excellent. When we arrived, a staff member came out to help us with our luggage. The guesthouse has amazing views, and the food was delicious. It also includes one round-trip transfer to Hongcun, which made our trip much more convenient. I'll definitely book here again next time I visit Huangshan.

Facilities: Very comprehensive, with a parking lot and a washing machine that also dries clothes. Cleanliness: Very clean, and the bedding was excellent, so I slept very comfortably. Environment: The natural scenery is fantastic; beautiful views are right outside the door.

The resort environment is first-class, and the service is attentive. Coming here allows for true relaxation and a pleasant May Day holiday.

The room is quite spacious, and the surrounding environment is also very pleasant. I spent a long time researching before choosing this place; it should be even more beautiful in spring. Plus, there's a study in the attic, which is very elegant. When we checked in, a female staff member helped us with our luggage. She looked very tired, and our bags were quite heavy. I asked her why a male staff member wasn't helping, and she said they were busy. But then, when we went to check in, we saw two male staff members just standing there (felt bad for the girl!). The only thing I wasn't happy with was the hotel's curtains. The white sheer curtain was lovely, but the dark curtain was old and lacked quality; it looked like it had been there for many years. Also, the bathroom felt a bit dated and lacked quality. However, these minor flaws don't detract from the overall experience. All in all, it's a very good guesthouse among those in Huangshan. On New Year's Eve, the guesthouse even prepared a BBQ and fireworks, which was very festive. The female owner is also very beautiful – even as a girl, I found her charming, haha. I hope to come back after the New Year, in spring! It's also a great spot for photos!

Highly recommended B&B! The location is wonderfully secluded, and the rooms are cozy and tastefully decorated in a Japanese style. The courtyard is very thoughtfully designed; every photo you take turns out beautifully. Most of the staff are *******, and they are incredibly warm and welcoming. Having just returned from a trip to Tibet this year, I felt an instant connection 🥰. I especially have to mention the B&B's dinner. We originally planned to eat in Hongcun but couldn't find a restaurant we liked, so we decided to head back to the B&B (they even offer shuttle service to Hongcun!). We pre-ordered our meal with the manager, so it was ready when we got back. We ordered stinky mandarin fish, free-range chicken soup, and stir-fried eggs with stone ear fungus. Every dish was made with super fresh ingredients and tasted absolutely amazing, especially the chicken soup. It was definitely made with free-range chicken, something you just can't find in Shanghai – so delicious! The portions were generous too; we couldn't finish it all. The manager even suggested saving the rest for chicken noodle soup the next morning. Wow, such thoughtful service! They also gave us a parting gift when we left. I love the atmosphere here and every single staff member. If you're coming to Tachuan, choose to stay here – you definitely won't regret it!

Settling into Tachuan Academy in Hongcun is like stepping into the idyllic, secluded paradise described by Tao Yuanming. The academy is rooted in a culture of reclusive farming and scholarship, with the natural texture of wood complementing the Hui-style courtyard scenery, exuding a simple and elegant Zen-like tranquility. The moment you step inside, the hustle and bustle of the world is instantly shut out, replaced by a sense of relaxed seclusion. Here, there is no excessive commercial noise, far from the crowds of the main Hongcun scenic area, offering a serene and pure escape. It is precisely this rare tranquility that attracts painters who come to sketch and paint; every mountain, every field, every courtyard, every tree is a scene of beauty, creating a serene and beautiful atmosphere. The academy's ecology is serene and healing. Gentle cats and rabbits roam freely, surrounded by lush vegetation and a peaceful atmosphere. The vibrant natural air envelops you, gently soothing all the fatigue of your journey. The academy's scenic café boasts a stunning view, with rolling fields and mountains visible from the windows. Finding a quiet corner to sit and daydream, the gentle breeze and calming clouds allow your mind to settle, completely emptying your senses – a truly liberating and healing experience. The staff are gentle, friendly, and attentive, always attentive to guests' needs. Even though the place was busy that day, they kindly extended my check-out time to 3 PM. This consideration and thoughtfulness is a rare warmth and kindness on a journey. Overall, the stay was very pleasant, with only one small suggestion: The guesthouse is adjacent to the countryside and mountains, with a rich natural ecosystem, so there are bound to be some mosquitoes in the rooms. Those accustomed to city life might find it a little unusual at first. I hope the owner can be more meticulous in mosquito prevention, providing electric mosquito repellents in advance. Improving these details would make the overall stay even more thoughtful and perfect. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, falling asleep to the gentle breeze of the countryside, surrounded by the tranquility of the mountains and the soft touch of nature. Here, there's no need to rush; simply slow down and feel the flow of time. Immerse yourself in the pastoral poetry and tranquility unique to Tachuan Academy, away from the hustle and bustle, to find peace of mind and body, and experience exceptional healing.
