An ink-wash scenery resides in the bend of Qiupu River, while egrets glide gracefully past Huizhou-style verandas.
Nestled in the serene river bend of Qiupu River in Shitai, Julong Bailuwan Resort Hotel is embraced by rolling green mountains and rippling clear waters, recreating an elegant mountain retreat in southern Anhui. Inheriting the design philosophy of Cheng Jiyue, a national master of Huizhou ancient architecture and classical gardens, the hotel perfectly integrates the classic charm of Huizhou architecture with the minimalist aesthetics of modern Neo-Chinese style.
Laid out in staggered layers along the natural terrain of the river valley, the hotel takes distant mountains as its backdrop and the gentle river as its companion. The soft curved outlines of the buildings echo the undulating mountain ranges, while expansive floor-to-ceiling glass windows dissolve the boundary between indoor spaces and natural landscapes, allowing refreshing mountain winds and graceful egret silhouettes to flow into every corner of the hotel.
The hotel enjoys convenient access to renowned scenic spots including Guniujiang Scenic Area, Zuishanye Scenic Resort and Qiupu River Rafting. It offers a peaceful retreat away from worldly hustle and bustle, while keeping all the splendid landscapes of southern Anhui within easy reach. Rooted in the picturesque charm of Qiupu River and Bailu Bay, the hotel sincerely welcomes guests from all over the world to settle in this Huizhou-style mountain resort and indulge in an unforgettable poetic dwelling experience.
"The room was decent, nothing special. The elevators were a bit slow and took a while. I noticed other guests were escorted to their rooms by a bellboy who helped with their luggage, but I didn't get that service, maybe because I only booked for one night? It took me a while to find my room as it's in a different building from the lobby. My child was too tired to wake up for breakfast by 10 AM. I asked the butler for two takeout boxes so we could eat in the room, but they said it wasn't allowed and we had to eat on-site, so we ended up wasting two breakfast vouchers. I've stayed in many hotels, big and small, but this is the first time I've encountered such an inflexible policy; it felt a bit impersonal. However, the hotel's view was nice, and it's not far from the county town."
