Zhangjiajie celestial Vally

The view from the hotel is breathtaking. They provide driver to go around for free (careful, some areas like Grand Canyon will incur some fee) Booked a room that says can accommodate 4 adults (1 king bed & 1 queen bed). In reality it’s 1 king bed & 1 single bed. I was asked to then pay for an extra bed for 300RMB. After some argument, they waived the fee. You can also ask to have meals cooked from their menu. Be careful to read the menu properly. I was charged 490RMB for the chicken, because the menu says 98RMB for every 500g, and they apparently cooked 2.5kg chicken without letting us know in advance. The amenities were fine. Bathroom & toilet were clean, but not very well designed (no hanger in toilet etc). They can also help you with laundry for free.

Just completed our 4-day, 3-night trip to the magnificent Zhangjiajie, staying at the equally—if not more—beautiful and serene Zhangjiajie Celestial Valley Minsu. Without the crowds, this place truly feels like a hidden gem. Of all the accommodations we stayed at during our first trip to China, Celestial Valley felt more like a home, nestled in a location with out-of-this-world scenery. After spending a full day in the bustling Zhangjiajie National Park, returning here to enjoy an outdoor dinner with breathtaking views—followed by a “celestial wonder” of millions of stars—was an unbelievably magnificent experience. From our 4 days with driver Mr. 孫, to the warm hospitality of front desk staff 小蔣 and 小范, and the kind assistance of 小鄭, everyone treated us like family. They arranged every detail of our trip, ensuring we made the most of our short stay in Zhangjiajie. From booking tickets in advance (so we didn’t have to fight the crowds), to planning our meals, and providing detailed information about the best spots in the National Park, Grand Canyon, and Tianmen Mountain, we felt utterly pampered. Leaving Zhangjiajie—and especially our “new family”—was the hardest part. Our spacious, fully equipped, and spotlessly clean room offered a magnificent panoramic view of the gorgeous mountains. Outside, there were plenty of seating areas to enjoy their organic farms, vibrant flowers, and blossoming trees. Oh, and I must mention the cutest dogs and cats who greeted us daily—they added such charm to our stay! It was so hard to leave, and we’re already counting the days until we can return. Next time, we’ll stay longer—please save our room for us!
