Wuyuan Qiye Yanxiang Guesthouse

This may be my favorurite hotel of all my travels so far. It’s set in an authentic Qing Dynasty building in a beautiful, quiet village. In the evening, the hostess picked us up at the village gate with a lantern, and when we arrived there was tea and a fireplace waiting in the lobby. The rooms are beautifully designed, and the hotel is full of cozy sitting areas, tea tables, and small corners to relax, you really feel immersed in old China. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, as were their house-distilled rice wines. The next morning, the hostess gave us a guided walk through the village and then arranged a driver who turned out to be more of a guide. He took us to several villages and stunning viewpoints for the rest of the day and again the following morning. January is a wonderful time to visit if you come well before Chinese New Year: the area is very quiet, and you get a real sense of everyday local life. It is cold, so dress warmly. The rooms have heaters and heated blankets, but the other areas of the hotel—and in the villages themselves—are unheated. We will definitely come back.

It was really nice, they Served good food and were really friendly!

Fantastic experience. I wanted to see rural China and this is a beautiful spot. The history of the house is incredible dating from the 1800s, Qing dynasty. The couple running the homestay are very helpful and gentle .The food they prepared was very nice (breakfast included in the price). I had only a vegetarian Chinese dinner at the end of the day. They offered local tea and homemade liquor. I spent two days visiting the surrounding villages arranged by the homestay which was a great choice, I believe. on my own I'd have been very difficult and inefficient. The third day I took the bicycle (they've got a few) and explored it on my own. Really, really recommended.

I went to Wuyuan on December and stop by coincidence at this place while walking in Sixi. It was beautiful. I came back again to Wuyuan and planned to stay here now in Winter. It was great! Sixi es a good base if you plan to wander around the north line, which is less touristy. The hotel es really beautifully designed, the staff was lovely and helpful and the food was delicious. A lot of the stuff we ate was homemade: soymilk, furu (fermented soybean curd), preserved vegetables, rice liquor.

We arrived in Wuyuan on April 3rd only to find out that the rapeseed flowers had already fallen. At first, we thought our trip had ended before it even started. Fortunately, a young lady at the hotel went out of her way to help us find a solution. Following her advice, instead of going to the popular Huangling village, we chose the northern route, where several villages on the hills, likely due to the cooler climate, still had the flowers in full bloom and the fields were vibrant with bright yellow. Had we not stayed here, we would have returned home disappointed. Another impressive aspect was the food, which was delicious at every meal. Honestly, the Chinese food at other stops on our trip wasn't to our liking, but here it was exceptional. We didn’t even need to specify the menu items; the hotel simply asked what we could eat, such as chicken, pork, beef, etc., and then prepared various dishes accordingly. This approach is quite convenient, allowing us to enjoy great meals without any hassle.
