Tonglu Hotels with Balcony

## Nestled in Tonglu's Painterly Landscape | A Short Account of Yisongshuling, Lucun Village As the outside world receded, the invigorating spirit of the landscape washed over me. Stepping inside, it was immediately clear that the hosts possess a true appreciation for life. It wasn't about ostentatious 'design,' but rather a subtle integration of modern elements into aged wood, pristine white walls, and warm lighting. The room was spacious, and smart home features silently anticipated every need, making it feel like living in a futuristic poem – a poem, nonetheless, that rhymed with the mountains and the moon. My absolute favorite was the window. Mornings brought mist hovering over the river like a delicate veil, while at night, stars seemed to tumble into the deep, inky mountains. Sitting quietly by the window, listening to the wind whisper through the bamboo and watching water birds glide over the emerald ripples, I suddenly understood why ancient scholars always sought to 'steal moments of leisure' – the sublime beauty of nature is, after all, the most priceless of gifts. The home-cooked meals prepared by Auntie carried the warmth of the earth itself. Bamboo shoots, freshly dug from the back mountain that very morning, and fish, caught straight from the river, were simply prepared. Yet, their exquisite freshness transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen in childhood. Each bite felt like a gentle blessing from the mountains and waters. The staff always greeted us with a smile, striking the perfect balance, like old friends. There was no need to ask; they had already quietly anticipated and prepared everything. And if solitude was desired, they would simply leave you with a tranquil, gentle quietude. Departing felt like waking from a beautiful dream. This wasn't merely accommodation; it was unequivocally a few days spent dwelling in a fairyland. I left imbued with its spiritual essence, and I swear I even 'stole' half a window's worth of its magnificent scenery. —Perhaps true luxury never needs to flaunt itself; it simply, gently restores you to being one with nature. ### Tips * **Room types:** Diverse options available; a mountain view room is highly recommended. * **Must-try dishes:** Auntie's local chicken hotpot and stir-fried wild bamboo shoots. My personal favorite was the freshly made dried vegetable and pork patty – incredibly fragrant! * **Activities:** Take a stroll along the ancient path beside the guesthouse, where you can walk alongside the Fuchun River, with distant mountains as your backdrop. * **Nearby attractions:** It's very close to the Mailing Ancient Path, definitely worth a hike. The establishment was incredibly thoughtful. They helped upgrade our room, and when they heard our friend had to rush for a train and would miss breakfast, they kindly packed some fruit for them to eat on the go. Auntie also kept everything impeccably clean. **”When paradise is here, why search elsewhere?”**

A bright window embedded in the yellow mud wall brings the green mountains caressed by the flowing clouds into view. Oh, isn't this lying in the Fuchun Mountain Residence? The architectural body and interior design of Liuyun Country Villa are impeccable, bright and simple but with everything you need, everything you need but just right. The yellow of the yellow mud is the basic color, the color of the earth, the color of the countryside, blending between the green plants and the shelter of the mountains, like the skin color of a beautiful woman showing her clothes. There is a row of narrow windows between the preserved warehouse wall and the wooden beam roof. Through it, you can see the stars at night and the shadows of the clouds reflected by the moon when you lie on the bed. And it is also the morning call to wake you up in the morning. The housekeeper is a self-deprecating boy who is a little fat. He is polite and enthusiastic, and is simply a warm man. He arranged everything very considerately for us who just arrived, and reminded us of things that we may not have noticed, which made us feel like spring breeze. Looking forward to coming again next time.

The view from the room is superb, especially the balcony, facing the Fuchun River, with mountains, trees and roads in the distance. The boss is very considerate and will prepare fruits, snacks and tea when you go back (ps: the tea is better than outside), which makes you feel like you are home. There are few shops around, so it is not easy to order takeout at night, but it is convenient to have drinks downstairs. There are many people in the scenic area during the holidays, so it is also nice to stay downstairs in the homestay and chat with the boss.

The room was great, and the bathtub was a nice touch. The flowers outside the entrance were the prettiest on the whole street, making for a lovely spot to relax. The reception area had a big projector that played cartoons, which instantly quieted the kids down. Breakfast was delicious, and they even offered sweet or savory zongzi depending on whether guests were from the north or south, which was incredibly thoughtful! The owners were so welcoming and enthusiastic. They gave us excellent directions, offered great tips on where to go and what to see, and recommended fantastic places to eat. All their suggestions felt genuine and helpful, with no ulterior motives. Highly recommend!

Facilities: Duravit basin, Hansgrohe showerhead, Westinghouse smart toilet, and sanitary ware brands are all very good. The bedding is quite comfortable, and the hotel has a strong sense of design and concept. Hygiene: Very clean and overall good. Environment: The internal environment of the B&B is very good. The Chuyang room type is on the second floor. It is the only room type in the B&B with an east balcony. Facing the Internet celebrity study room, it is wonderful to sit and drink tea and watch people coming and going. Unfortunately, I didn’t check in until 9pm that night, so I didn’t see the Internet celebrity bookstore with lights on. Also, there was no cyclorama movie at 9pm, and the small string lights in the cyclorama movie area were not lit. If they were lit, it would be very atmospheric. I wonder if it is not turned on or broken? I was pleasantly surprised to see a kitten. I heard from the boss that this kitten is a little stray. It goes wherever it is fed. It is fat and cute. Service: After the reservation is successful, the butler immediately joins the group. There are 6 people in the group. Messages will be replied in seconds and the answer is very fast. Checked in at 10.6, and happened to grab a room that was temporarily canceled by a customer of this store. I was very lucky! Qinglongwu is full of B&Bs, and there are no street lights at night. Maybe it’s because it’s late, so we don’t encounter the problem of passing cars, but the small road is really narrow, and it will be very troublesome if we encounter passing cars. Qinglongwu is basically a B&B. There are no entertainment activities around. Remember to come here after eating and drinking, otherwise it will be a bit boring at night. Warm reminder: Chuyang is not suitable for couples or people other than couples. The shower and toilet rooms are made of transparent glass. You can clearly see someone taking a shower or going to the toilet while sleeping on the bed.

The weather has been very good recently. I took advantage of the end of the holiday to bring my family to Tonglu. The hotel environment is great with mountains and water, and the view from the room is also top-notch. The hotel's public area is very large, occupying a hilltop. The children had a lot of fun playing on the lawn. There are also cafes, gyms and swimming pools so they won't be bored. The next day I went to OMG Heartbeat Park, which is not far from the hotel by car for about 20 minutes. I recommend it.

Taking the kids to OMG Paradise, we booked a guesthouse that exceeded our expectations. Cleanliness: I used to dislike guesthouses because of hygiene issues, but this completely changed my mind. The room was super clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Facilities: The room provided disposable face towels and bath towels, which was super convenient. There was also a fire escape rope; kudos to the owner for their safety awareness! Service: The owner called in advance to confirm our arrival time, and even though we arrived late at night, the owner was waiting for us and even upgraded our room for free.

Surrounding environment: The homestay is close to the creek, you can play in the water at the door, and it is a good place to bring children to play in summer. The current season is spring blossoming and the scenery is not bad. Dining: The hotel has breakfast, and you need to order Chinese dinner. The stone pot fish and local chicken at the proprietress’s house are delicious and delicious. Hygienic: Although the room is not well decorated 7, the health is still very good, the bed is latex cushion, it is very comfortable to sleep. Sleeping here at night is very quiet!

On our way to Tonglu Heartbeat Park, we found the Yuefeng Jiajing Hotel, and it was a pleasant surprise—the hotel was tranquil, elegant, and comfortable, and not crowded, perhaps because it's the off-season! The staff member, Ms. Jiang, was incredibly attentive, asking about our preferences and guiding us beforehand… Even after check-in, they made sure to arrange our breakfast for the next day, taking into consideration our preferences! Next time we're in Tonglu, this hotel will be our first choice! Thank you! 🤝🤝

Bought room voucher on Double Eleven Took the kids out to play during the off-season The hotel is very quiet, with Daqi Mountain behind it, and you can go to the restaurant near Fuchun River for dinner in more than ten minutes The overall facilities of the hotel are good, and the front desk service also took the initiative to help me upgrade the balcony room, and gave me a discount voucher for dining in the Chinese restaurant, as well as tickets to Daqi Mountain. The hotel environment is well greened, which makes people feel relaxed and happy The housekeeper service is also quite fast, praise Zhu Yiyun
