Hongcun Yunshan mountain scenery house

This is a gorgeous hotel in a 300 year old house with a lovely courtyard garden. At the edge of the larger of Hongcun’s lake it was easy to wander through the town but slightly quieter than some of the other streets. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice Chinese breakfast.

Hongcun Yushan mountain scenery house is convenienly located near the South Gate of Hongcun Scenic area. We booked courtyard B which is located outside and behind the main hotel complex with breakfast included. The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable, and had a small courtyard, but unfortunately no garden chairs or table to sit outside. In hindsight we woud book another room in the main complex next time. It has a lovely open garden and plenty of outdoor seating. I contacted the hotel before our stay and managed by using a voice translator to connect with the staff on Wechat. A friendly staff member met us at the entrance to the scenic area and entry is free of charge when you stay at the hotel. The hotel staff don't speak any English, but they were very helpful and friendly and we got along fine using Wechat and other translators. I won't recommend eating dinner at the hotel as there are many local Chinese restaurants in the ancient village. The hotel offers a coffee shop in the lobby and has a number of options, like Americano, Latte etc. The coffee is very good, but I felt it was a bit pricey for the cup size. The hotel breakfast is Chinese with no Western options, and it is served in unique way in a tray. I enjoyed the breakfast, but my husband would have liked more western options. On our arrival the room was already pre-heated and the beds in the room were comfortable. It was snowing lightly when we arrived and there were umbrellas available in the room. They also provide vanity items. We visited just before the Chinese New Year tourist rush at the beginning of the holiday and this was a very good location and time to visit despite the cold weather. The ancient village was not too crowded and it was nice to walk around in the evenings and daytime with the hotel is situated conveniently right next to the South lake. Drone flying is allowed which can give drone flyers an aerial view of the village. Depending on your iterinary a one night stay is sufficient to visit Hongcun and the nearby Xidi ancient village then move on to another hotel at the foot or top of the mountain or Tunxi village. We enjoyed our stay and can recommend this hotel to travelers wanting a good hotel experience in Hongcun.

Truly great place. Very friendly and well trained staff, wonderful Huizhou house tastefully renovated and decorated. Everything is clean and tidy. Feels like a home. The garden is an oasis of peace when you need to get away from the crowds.

Great stay!

清晨被窗外的鳥鳴喚醒，推開門就是南湖晨霧，坐在庭院石桌邊喝着茶，看管家在池塘邊餵魚，時間都慢了下來。房間裏的老物件帶着歲月温度，連香薰都是定製的徽派竹香。這種與自然共生的生活美學，徹底撫平了我緊綳的神經。才知道什麼叫真正的療愈旅行！

這裏不僅是一個住宿的地方，更是一個體驗徽州文化的好去處。院子裏和房間裏都擺放了很多古徽州傢俱、古牌匾、古石雕等藝術品，讓人彷彿置身於一個小型的博物館之中。書吧裏也存放了大量關於徽州建築、徽州三雕、徽州風情的書籍，可以讓我們深入瞭解徽州的歷史文化。在這裏，感受古老文化的魅力。晚上，坐在院子裏，聽着老闆講述宏村的故事，看着周圍的徽派建築，這種文化體驗真的是太珍貴了，讓我對宏村和徽州文化有了更深的熱愛。
