Hotels near Eight Outer Temples, Chengde

When planning our trip to Jinshanling Great Wall, we looked at several guesthouses and ultimately chose Wanping Farm Stay. We were not disappointed! The guesthouse is incredibly close to the Great Wall scenic area's ticket office. We could even see the watchtowers from their courtyard – super convenient for an early morning climb. The rooms were surprisingly bright, clean, and modern, exactly as pictured. Breakfast offered local specialties, and for lunch and dinner, you could order dishes. The owner, who is an amazing cook, prepared delicious home-style meals that perfectly suited our Shanghai palates. The whole family was incredibly warm and friendly. The owner is also a Great Wall photography master, full of experiences and tips. We'll definitely choose Wanping Farm Stay again next time!

I cannot recommend this farmhouse enough! If you are visiting the Jinshanling Great Wall, staying here is an absolute must. The location is perfect, featuring a beautiful rooftop terrace where you can sit and look directly at the Great Wall in total peace. The room itself was modern, and clean, with a great AC, but set right in the middle of a charming, authentic farm. But the absolute highlight of my stay was the host family. The hospitality is unmatched. The Owner Lady of the house cooked some of the most delicious, massive, and authentic meals I’ve had in China, and she went completely out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and well-fed. The food was also unbelievably affordable. The Owner truly went above and beyond for me. When I was struggling to find a reasonably priced car back to Beijing, he spent hours late at night helping me on WeChat, making sure I wasn't overcharged by local drivers. He eventually helped me find a cheap, highly scenic train route back to the city and personally drove me to the local station. They treated a solo foreign traveler like absolute family. If you want a genuine, heartwarming, and frictionless experience at the Great Wall, book this place. 太好吃了 and 谢谢 to the amazing hosts!”

Among all the B&Bs I've stayed at, this one easily ranks in the top three. If you factor in the price, it's definitely number one for value for money. The family running the B&B was incredibly welcoming and warm, especially the older folks who were so vibrant. To get from the B&B to the Jinshanling Great Wall hiking entrance, we asked the owner to call a car for us, and it was only 10 yuan per person one way, dropping us off directly. The minivan was much more comfortable than taking the shuttle bus, and it's also a short walk if you prefer. If I had to pick a downside, the toiletries were a bit basic, but considering the room rate, that's easily overlooked.

This is my second time visiting Wulingshan, and I chose Lanye Hotel again~ I've been eating breakfast at Shangu (Valley) restaurant, and I'm very satisfied, having eaten there for two consecutive days. I especially love the wild vegetable buns. The hotel was also incredibly thoughtful; knowing I was pregnant, they prepared an air purifier and a pregnancy pillow for me~ They also arranged for a high-floor room, so it wasn't noisy at all. They really put their heart into it!

Facilities: Very comprehensive, they even have a washing machine and dryer, and the front desk helped with the drying! Hygiene: Very clean Environment: There are small and large supermarkets nearby, and a huge one not far away. We even caught a supermarket sale. Service: Warm and thoughtful

The Hilton Garden Inn Chengde Summer Palace is perfectly located. It's a ten-minute walk to the Summer Palace, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The rooms are clean and tidy, the bedding is comfortable, and there's a gym and self-service laundry room. The hotel is a converted building, so the rooms are a bit small, there are few elevators, and street-facing rooms can be noisy. There's no executive lounge or in-room mini-fridge, and parking can be tight during peak season. It's ideal for travelers primarily visiting the Summer Palace and prioritizing convenience.

Facilities are sufficient for our type of travel; that are trekking and Great Wall viewing. Location is excellent with easy access to different parts of the of the Great Wall. Breakfast and dinner were at the stay and the simple local cuisine of good food suited our taste buds .. Topping all is the extra mile service by the owner 崔老版 and his family. We had a beautiful and memorable time here

Amazing guesthouse and could not ask for better location to the Jinshanling Great Wall (1 minute walk away from the entrance gates). Very kind accommodating owner and staff, great dinners as well, comfortable room, and even pick up and drop off from train station. Perfect place to stay to see the wall, and the Jinshanling wall was absolutely amazing, and fairly quiet with less people. Highly recommend this place.

Location, Location, Location. This is the place to stay if you want to see sunrise and sunset and beat the day trippers to the stunningly scenic Jinshanling wall. Same ticket with facial recognition would let you do that. Come out of the hotel, turn right, about 250 metres and you are at the gate. Then either catch the cable car or walk along a fairly easy and well maintained trail to reach the steps. I have attached a photo of the direction in English, kept at the reception. We came from Gubei town. We had a private car/driver and it was very easy to combine Simatai night view and Jinshanling. Try to enjoy both. We were there in mid May and looked like the hotel was not fully geared up. There was no buffet breakfast. The breakfast was simple but probably not a great value. I had a look at the dinner menu. Expensive ad limited vegetarian options. Did not try at the hotel. The room was fine, clean, decent bed and adequate although the storage space was not enough for us travelling in China for a month. Very unusual ceiling with a wooden ceiling fan. We had the cheapest room overlooking a car park. The lobby had some very nice artefacts. Very little English spoken, manged with translate app. Not much interaction with other staff. Overall, I'd stay here simply because of the unbeatable location.

The hotel boasts a beautiful environment and fresh air, and both the facilities and cleanliness are impeccable. The breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were delicious. Overall, the service was satisfactory. However, I have to complain about a front desk staff member who answered the phone between 7 and 10 PM on the 31st. The first time I reported the washing machine wasn't working, she actually told me it was leaking and advised me not to use it. I ended up fixing and using it myself. The second time I called about the shower water not getting hot, her response was even more ridiculous: she told me to just keep running the water until it got hot. I wasted nearly half an hour, and the water never got warm. In the end, a housekeeping staff member came and simply inserted the gas card, which solved the problem. What's worse is her terrible attitude; she was argumentative and refused to admit her incompetence in handling issues, acting as if she knew everything. She definitely deserves a bad review! On another note, the hotel is very close to Jinshanling Great Wall, which is absolutely worth a visit!
