4-Star Hotels in Ankang

My mother, daughter, and I drove over Goupaliang Ridge, gazing at the towering mountains before descending to a secluded spot in Caiziping. The guesthouse resembled a stone fortress, and the manager was like an old friend; we had a delightful conversation. Though called a guesthouse, its quality rivaled that of a five-star establishment. The dining in this secluded spot was exquisite, offering both hot pot and Western cuisine. After a satisfying meal, we sat by the pool, listening to the rain and watching the mountains, deciding to climb the ridge the next day. Light rain, mist, deep forests, a sea of ​​clouds, pheasants, pine cones—though we didn't see takins or golden monkeys, judging from the animal trails and droppings, we must have just missed a takin herd. Unfortunately, a landslide blocked the path not far from the trailhead, preventing us from climbing the ridge. However, we gained valuable experience from the trip, and before leaving, we made a promise with the manager to return another day. On the return journey, we took the highway to Tongchewan. The scenery along the way was also excellent. We passed several stilt bridges, chose one to walk across, and unexpectedly encountered a bamboo forest. The depths of the Qinling Mountains truly offer surprises at every turn. Sitting at home now, savoring the mountain honey gifted by my housekeeper, I reminisce about the journey and the delicious food, and feel grateful for the people I met along the way and the beautiful scenery created by nature. ”Altitude 1499”, we will definitely meet again soon.

A Weekend Road Trip to Shiquan for a Springtime Retreat to Zuoshouxiang, a Secluded Countryside Destination Long confined by the hustle and bustle of the city, a longing for rural retreat has always lingered in my heart. This weekend, I packed my bags and drove to Shiquan, Ankang, to find that hidden paradise deep in the mountains—Zuoshouxiang Folk Resort—embarking on a short escape to heal my body and soul. After exiting the highway at Shiquan, I entered a winding mountain road. The journey wasn't smooth; nearly an hour's drive, the road was somewhat bumpy, and the car wound its way through the mountains. With each turn, the scenery changed constantly, and the restlessness and fatigue of the city were gradually blown away by the bumps and mountain winds. As far as the eye could see, there were rolling green hills, and the grass and trees were gradually sprouting new buds. The vitality of spring was quietly spreading through the mountains and fields, making my anticipation for my destination even stronger. After countless turns, the scenery suddenly opened up before me, revealing a magnificent mansion nestled gently in the embrace of mountains. It appeared out of nowhere, instantly healing all the weariness of the journey. This was Zuo Shou Xiang, a pure white courtyard elegantly U-shaped, quietly nestled in a mountain valley. A clear stream flowed gently around the courtyard, its babbling mingling with the birdsong of the forest. At the foot of the mountain, fields of yellow rapeseed flowers bloomed quietly, the golden sea of ​​flowers contrasting beautifully with the new green of the mountains. A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the flowers, fresh and intoxicating, filling the air with the essence of spring. A breathtakingly beautiful scene of secluded rural life unfolded before my eyes, so beautiful that I couldn't look away, unable to tear myself away from its beauty. Zuoshouxiang is a stylish and comfortable hotel-style resort. Every design detail showcases meticulous craftsmanship, resembling a finely crafted work of art that blends perfectly with the surrounding green mountains and clear waters. Fashionable, elegant, and grand, it invites you to linger and appreciate its beauty. The public spaces are exceptionally spacious, with a bright and airy lobby featuring simple yet sophisticated decor, complemented by natural light and shadow, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The distinctive restaurant, built into the mountainside, caters to dining needs while offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. There's also a stunning viewing terrace where you can enjoy a quiet cup of tea or gaze at the distant mountains, savoring the slow pace of rural life. Stepping into the guest rooms reveals an even more thoughtful and attentive experience. The rooms are fully equipped and comfortable, with oversized windows framing the surrounding green mountains, flower fields, and streams into a natural painting, allowing you to embrace nature from your bed. Every detail is carefully considered, ensuring a safe and comfortable stay, allowing you to completely unwind from the fatigue of travel and daily life. A perfect vacation wouldn't be complete without the comfort of delicious food. Zuoshouxiang understands its diners' desires, meticulously preparing local specialties. Most ingredients are sourced from the mountains and fields, fresh and natural, carrying the unique smoky flavor and aroma of southern Shaanxi. Whether it's the rich and flavorful Qinling cured pork, the succulent Shiquan fresh fish, or the refreshing mountain vegetables, each dish is bursting with flavor, precisely captivating the taste buds and embarking on a delightful rural journey for the palate. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the verdant mountains and clear waters of Zuoshouxiang. Behold the rolling green hills, inhale the fragrant flowers, listen to the babbling brooks, enjoy comfortable accommodations, and savor the finest flavors. Everything here is just right, perfectly fulfilling my longing to escape the city and retreat to the countryside. Without a rushed itinerary or complicated chores, only the slow pace of time and the beauty of healing the soul, this weekend, at Zuoshouxiang in Shiquan, I finally found the poetry and distant places I had longed for, and also gained an unforgettable springtime countryside experience.

The overall stay experience of this hotel is very good, the location is super plus points, close to the Han River, the view outside the window is particularly good. The hotel is newly opened, the overall facilities are very new, the hygiene is particularly in place, the towels are thick and clean, and the texture is very good. The room configuration is also very intimate, equipped with a high-speed hair dryer, daily care of the shape is particularly convenient, too understand the needs of modern people; also equipped with a smart toilet, really is the gospel of travel accommodation. The bath water pressure is sufficient, the bath experience is full, and the room is equipped with a system-level sunshade, which has a special shading effect. The fly in the ointment is that the sound insulation effect of the hotel is average, and the landline failure in the room is encountered when checking in, and the small problem of not being able to contact the front desk. However, after feedback with the lobby manager, the response was particularly timely and the processing efficiency was very high. Although it is not an international hotel, you can feel the full humanistic care everywhere. The lobby manager and the guests communicate efficiently and smoothly. The overall price/performance ratio and service are worth recommending.

I was very happy with the room type; the front desk upgraded me to a suite. I think anyone visiting Xunyang for the first time and unsure where to stay should definitely choose this place. It was incredibly comfortable, especially being a river-view room!!! Plus, it's great value for money – you definitely won't regret it. The breakfast even included Xunyang's special pickled vegetable noodle soup, which was delicious! Thumbs up 👍 I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in town for business. Preferably for two nights, haha.

The biggest flaw: The building I booked didn't have central air conditioning! It was incredibly hot in the summer, so we paid the difference to move to a different building. Pros: The hotel is located in the Youran Mountain Scenic Area. It was very quiet on Sundays and almost completely empty on Mondays. The rooms were well-maintained and clean, the bedding was comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the shuttle was always available. The pizza and pasta were delicious, and the breakfast was also good. It was very quiet and perfect for a relaxing retreat. Cons: The children found the outdoor playground a bit boring. The outdoor playground was overgrown with weeds and looked poorly maintained. The petting zoo, which had sika deer and chickens, ducks, and geese, was a bit smelly. The indoor playground required a shuttle at the main entrance, which was inconvenient.

The stay experience exceeded expectations. The hotel is in a great location. It is a business district to go out. It is very convenient to travel and eat. The front desk staff was gentle, the check-in speed was very fast, and they also intimately informed the surrounding play routes. The rooms are clean and tidy, the bedding is soft and comfortable, the toiletries are complete, and the bathroom is dry and wet without smell. The room has good lighting and ventilation, sound insulation effect is good, and the rest is very stable at night. The supporting facilities are perfect, the hot water supply is stable, and the air conditioning is cool. The cleaning aunt cleaned meticulously and the service was intimate. The price is very high, the overall environment is quiet and elegant, I will choose this one next time I come here, I highly recommend it to friends who stay.

This time I stayed at the Green Papaya Resort for two nights. I first lived in a river view room and then changed to a tree house. The experience was particularly different! The No. 11 tree house I lived in was hidden in the deepest part of the forest, surrounded by dense trees. The room has a large 270° window, as soon as you walk in, the wooden floor is soft under your feet, the ears are full of birds, and you can reach the hairy chestnuts on the branches. At night, just in time for the thunderstorm, I opened all the curtains, watching the rain flow down the roof, lightning, like a circle of shiny rain curtains, especially shocking. In the morning, I don’t need to set an alarm clock, and I am naturally awakened by the sound of birds. This feeling is too comfortable! The facilities in the tree house are very complete, the beds are neatly laid, the sheets are soft to the touch, and the bathroom is clean. What I like most is the small terrace outside. I move the lounge chair there, blow the hair, drink tea, and the whole person is relaxed. Unfortunately, the terrace can't see the Han River. If you can see the river view, it will be more perfect. The hotel staff was particularly enthusiastic, helped with luggage, and patiently recommended fun places around. The tree house is a bit far from the restaurant, and it is not convenient to eat back and forth. But overall, the experience of living in the tree house this time is great! If you want to find a quiet place to relax and close to nature, you can really try it!

Arrived at 1am and left after staying for only one night. The bathroom has no window, and there is a smell of sewage when the door is opened. The light is sensor-activated, which is a bit unacceptable. This hotel should have opened not long ago, but the overall maintenance and hygiene are average. It is invested by a local enterprise, and the hotel management needs to be improved. However, some food and fruits are prepared in the room, which can resolve many dissatisfactions. I sincerely hope that local enterprises investing in hotels will not only use their names but also work hard to improve the quality of details.

I stayed for a day, and I really can't bear the beautiful scenery here. The whole village is quiet and comfortable, with natural greenery full of eyes, fresh and healing air, and it is too pleasant to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Just in case of rainy and sunny days two kinds of scenery, the misty rain and clear sky and mountains have their charm, each eye is a different scenery. The atmosphere of the homestay itself is superb and the experience is very good. There are a lot of tourists who found the treasure homestay on May 1st. Everyone has opened a long mountain road to come here. It can be seen that many people are attracted by the scenery here. I feel that the staff in the store is slightly insufficient, and the check-out time is relatively loose, which makes it a bit busy when I check in, which is a pity. But the housekeeper and the boss are very enthusiastic. I sincerely hope that more local young people will participate in the management and management of the good, keep this beauty, and bring more intimate and perfect services to tourists from afar.

Very good stay experience, the environment is superb, the front desk lady is warm and welcoming, the fruit is delivered, the air conditioning in the room is super powerful, there is a gym laundry room, the breakfast is also very rich, and the free parking is available. I will go again next time.
