Shuiyong Jinjiang Hotel

Exceptional Homestay Experience in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Rating: 5.0 I recently stayed at this homestay in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park with my sister and brother-in-law for 4 nights. As visitors with minimal Mandarin skills, we were delighted by the warm hospitality and personalized services provided by our host. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel at home, serving us homebrew tea and homegrown organic peanuts! They went above and beyond to ensure our trip was enjoyable and stress-free. As DIY visitors, we didn’t book any tours. The host offered great guidance after learning about our wishes. They helped us purchase admission tickets and organized transportation for us every day. This made our daily trips to the national park and other tourist spots incredibly easy and convenient. The place is quiet and absolutely beautiful. We were surrounded by the mountains. The building materials are of superb quality and the insulation is very good, despite the cold weather. The bedding was very comfortable and we all had a good night's sleep. The highlight of our stay was truly these tailor-made services, providing us with recommendations for daily trips, food, and transportation. We enjoyed plenty of delicious healthy food, including a variety of fruits such as grapes, oranges, pomelo, to name but a few! The vegetables and some fruits (like kumquats, figs) were organically grown on the farm. Every meal was homemade and tasty. We even got to try their own specialty tea Mei Cha (莓茶), which was a delightful experience. On a particularly rainy day, the host proactively brought umbrellas to us, ensuring we stayed dry and comfortable. At some of the tourist spots, guides had been arranged to ensure our smooth entry. These thoughtful gestures added a personal touch to our experience, making us feel genuinely cared for. Overall, the owner’s dedication to making our trip enjoyable and successful was evident in every aspect of our stay. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. The personal touch, yummy organic food, and convenient transportation made our trip unforgettable. Thank you to the host for an exceptional experience!

Really wonderful experience. Super homely.

Hunan Hospitality at its best! We had a splendid stay at Shuiyong Jinjiang Hotel. The sweeping mountain views from the terraces, stylish and spotless rooms, gardens full of flowers and hummingbirds, evening walks to pick corn, peanuts, and melons, and delicious homecooked meals (including plenty of fresh veggies and fruit, steaming hot wonton soup and noodles for breakfast) made our stay extremely memorable and relaxing. The staff was extremely kind, generous, and helpful, arranging our pickup from the airport and trips to the various attractions (the “Avatar Mountains” are basically just next door), suggesting different itineraries for each day, informing us of the constantly changing COVID regulations, driving us to do our COVID tests, etc. We REALLY felt like family right away. The whole place is very child-friendly too, and our two young kids loved exploring the area. We can’t wait to go back again!

非常幸運能夠選擇水湧金江民宿，覺得自己眼光特別好。 民宿主人大氣慷慨，民宿管家熱情有禮，他們為我們安排好出行的所有門票，交通，省心省力。 民宿位於安靜的小村莊裡，面對羣山，周圍都是農田，景色絕美。兩天時間裏，我坐在西廂露台，看到了山間日出，夕陽晚霞，細雨濛濛，繁星滿天，美景滋潤心田。更有好客的主人帶着我們釣小龍蝦，采無花果，挖涼薯，盡享垂釣採摘之樂，小小滿足了我的田園夢。 另外值得介紹的是民宿養的土烏雞太好吃了，田地裏當日收穫的蔬菜太好吃了，主人自釀的米酒太好喝了，以至於天天爬山的我一點也沒瘦。 感謝你們的款待！來日我會攜友來多住些時日，哪哪都不去，就坐在露台喝茶，聊天，品美食，看美景。

名宿深藏翠岫邊，柴門犬吠鳥談天。 繞籬瓜豆疑迎客，滿院椿萱似昔年。 炊煙起處親呼飯，土菜香時月墜肩。 醉話桑麻燈影裏，一宵清夢伴雲眠。 嚮往的田園生活，家人的感覺，菜都是老闆家自己種的，衹有簡單的葱姜蒜，吃的食物的本味，沒有科技與狠活，吃完身體都舒暢了。早起的清晨，在大自然面前其他所有都不算事。 鄰居家的大黃狗竟然打不過主人家的貓，我也是服了。

這是我住過最舒服貼心的民宿。首先環境非常的原生態，周圍都是景。另外吃的都是來自周圍的山上，池塘裏，田裡。對我這樣有田園飲食強迫症的人實在太適合不過。孩子們在這裏可以體驗釣龍蝦，採茶，采玉米，摘花生等等，這些贈送的項目對孩子們太友好！住了三天，還是覺得不夠，可惜最後一天因為車票改簽而匆匆返程，沒有來得及吃到正宗的燉烏雞。留下一點小遺憾吧，下次再來。對了，最好的是這裏的老闆老闆娘和員工都很真誠，完全不強迫消費，真的很難得
