The room was very clean, and the host is very friendly, offering to drive us everywhere around the surrounding area. There was even a small tea plantation area in the back of the hotel, so worth having a quick walk. Finally the place also serves authentic local breakfast with ingredients mainly sourced locally and optional dinner (payable separately) with good flavors.

My partner and I spent three wonderful days here and we would come back in an instant. It’s one of the most beautiful hotels we ever stayed at, and the staff is incredibly helpful. We had a huge terrace overlooking the fields, where we could just relax after some hectic days in Shanghai. The location is perfect, just outside the nearby town, but still close enough if you need anything. The hotels offers you a drop off to the main entrance of the Huangshan scenic area, which only takes about 10 minutes, so that you can be there early in the morning. When you visit the mountains, be sure not to miss out on the Western sea grand valley, it has less visitors and views are amazing. On our other day we visited nearby village Bishan, which was great, a cute little village with some artsy little cafes, eateries and shops. You can easily take a didi there. Every evening we had our meals at the hotel, which were delicious, and the breakfast was also outstanding, having both some local and western treats. We couldn’t be happier with our stay here. Many thanks to the staff!

Excellent! This is the best option to stay in the Huangshan area to visit the mountains and surroundings. This boutique hotel is located extremely quietly in the middle of the bamboo forests and tea plantations away from the bustle and hustle, busy streets, people and noisy restaurants- exactly what we needed after a day on the mountain. At the same time it’s only 5-10 minutes away from the South entrance gate, which the hotel will shuttle you to whenever you need. Overall the service and the owners are so so great and helpful with everything.
The hotel overall and the rooms are so tastefully designed, high quality, 1000% clean and everything is tidied up (no messy piles anywhere - unlike in other boutique hotels in China).
You can conveniently get dinner in the hotel, the seating area is beautiful, quiet, designed perfectly and the food was delicious. Breakfast is Chinese breakfast but they are so sweet and offer cereals and toast if you like, however, i brought some other options for my parents which they kindly kept in the fridge.
They also took us to their own tea mountain to watch the sunset and Huangshan Mountain from afar - very special!!! Highly recommend that! The other hiking recommendations (besides than going up Huangshan) were a great addition. I recommend a three night stay, that’s just perfect.
Everything is even nicer than on the pictures, a pleasant and unusual surprise!!
You will not regret to choose this hotel, i stayed in other hotels in Huangshan before and this is the best option with regards to location (!!), design and service.

Our stay here was really amazing, the location is perfect as you can enjoy the quiet surrounding but you are still super close to the South Gate of Mount Huangshan (free shuttle provided). The room was beautiful and perfect for us.

Our homestay is only a five-minute drive from the South Gate Transfer Centre, and provides a free transfer centre [pick-up service].

Would recommend this homestay. They were really helpful right from the start, helping us schedule our trip and buy the tickets. They also offer free transport to the Yellow Mountain bus stop. Super convenient if you haven't made plans or don't know where to go. The front counter ladies are ultra helpful and friendly. The food here is also delicious and the rooms are spacious and clean.

The hotel is a good choice for staying in the Tangkou area of Huangshan. The hotel has a nice vibe and comfortable rooms, even a small pool. In the lobby there is always tea (tasty, from own plantation) and some snacks. The diner at the hotel was also very delicious.
The owners are nice and helpful and give you a ride to the entrance gate of the bus station that takes you up the hill to Huangshan. So all in all a good choice for our stay.

Our stay at Shanyu Life and Huangshan Design was absolutely fantastic! The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our visit especially enjoyable. The entire property was clean and well-maintained, and the peaceful setting provided a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. The pool could use a bit of an update, but that didn’t take away from our overall great experience. We were very satisfied and would love to return!

Shanyu is an amazing stay if you're planning to go up Huangshan mountain. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and very cozy, with open spaces and a peaceful atmosphere.
