"I visited Zhenyuan Ancient Town in Guizhou this May, and before arriving, I compared several B&Bs and hotels. I ended up blindly choosing 'Fanyun Shanshe' and it felt like striking gold! Here's what I'd like to share with anyone planning a trip:
After booking, the host proactively called me early to confirm directions and even drove to the parking lot to pick us up and drop us off at the hotel entrance. When we left, the lovely owner also helped us transport our luggage to the street – so thoughtful and kind.
The entire room features floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the Wuyang River. From the room, you can see both Qinglong Cave and Zhusheng Bridge. Zhenyuan evenings in May are incredibly cool and pleasant. Sitting by the window and watching the myriad lights illuminate on the opposite bank felt like a 'real-life Spirited Away.' The view alone makes the room price worth it!
The B&B's cleanliness standards are top-notch. The overall room style is a vintage wabi-sabi aesthetic with beige tones. The bedding is soft and clean, and I particularly loved how spacious and separate the shower room was, with hot water coming on very quickly. All the bathroom fixtures are from well-known brands.
The B&B offers both the tranquility of a secluded retreat and is super close to the main scenic spots! You can walk to Zhusheng Bridge, Qinglong Cave, and Shiping Mountain in just 3-5 minutes. The next morning, I climbed Shiping Mountain and gazed at the entire city from above – the 'Bagua City' truly lives up to its reputation!"
