Tonglu Hotels with Pools

## 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?”**

The room was spacious and very clean, easily accommodating three people without feeling cramped. It also had a large bathtub and a great projector. Downstairs, there's a big lawn, perfect for dogs to run around. Since it was winter, we didn't use the pool. Upstairs from the restaurant, you can play mahjong and billiards, so the entertainment facilities are quite comprehensive. Before we left, they even prepared a souvenir for us. The sweet potatoes at breakfast were delicious, and when I asked the owner if I could buy some, she gave me a whole bag for free – we're very grateful!

I really chose this homestay with my children out to play! The environment is quiet and comfortable, the room is clean and tidy, the layout is warm, the daily necessities are complete, and the living is particularly safe. The key point must be to praise the boss, the people are super kind and enthusiastic, especially take care of the family with the baby, and are on call if necessary. They also intimately recommend places and local food suitable for children to play. Be sincere and easy-going, get along with people is particularly comfortable, just like family. The overall experience is full, the price is very high, the travel is also convenient, the children live very happily, the next trip will give priority to this, I really recommend it to all my mothers!

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.

Facilities: Although it's an older hotel, I think the facilities are very well-maintained. Hygiene: The hygiene is quite good overall. It's inevitable to have some bugs when staying in the mountains, but the room was well-equipped with mosquito repellent. Environment: The environment is outstanding. The entire hotel area is very large, nestled by mountains and water, enjoying an entire lake view exclusively. The view from the full lake view king room is superb, and the huge balcony is perfect for photos with excellent privacy. Service: The service is particularly noteworthy. We arrived after 9 PM, and everyone from the front desk to the concierge greeted us warmly, even adding us on WeChat to stay in touch. The entire complex is quite large, so we mainly relied on shuttle buses for getting around. The timeliness of pickups and drop-offs, as well as the service attitude, deserve high praise! Miss Joyce was always online, providing service and assistance. She has a kind attitude and is a lovely person! I will definitely choose Conrad again next time I visit Tonglu. 💜

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.

Beyond the flat plains lie spring mountains, and the grassy path is nestled within them. An hour and a half after departing from Yuhang, the car stopped in front of a shop sign. A small gate, hidden by a grassy path, opened to reveal a vast expanse of lush green lawn, like a thick, verdant carpet. On the lawn stood a five-story industrial-style building—the Grassy Path Guesthouse. The guesthouse's pets were all adorable and friendly: the dogs were domesticated, the cats wild. Dinner at the guesthouse featured a fragrant and sweet hot pot of free-range chicken and vegetables, and flavorful grilled beef and shrimp. Reading, sipping tea, and drinking coffee in the tatami study and tea room—a few relaxing days were truly delightful. As dawn and dusk passed, every step was met with verdant greenery and the sounds of birds and insects. At sunrise, golden rays pierced the clouds and pierced the forests and mountains; at dusk, countless stars shone brightly against the indigo sky. The tranquility of the mountains and fields could cleanse the dust of the world and soothe the soul. I would definitely come back to stay.

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! 🤝🤝

We had a fantastic stay at the big house at Nine Cloud Homestead Resort, traveling with 6 adults and 4 children. The house is beautifully located at the foot of the mountain, with a huge garden full of lovely trees and flowers, making it peaceful and perfect for families. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent — special thanks to our dedicated housekeeper Aline, who was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The shuttle service between the hall and the house was very convenient, and guests can enjoy many free amenities including the swimming pool, gym, table tennis, and badminton courts. A wonderful, relaxing stay — highly recommended for families and groups!

The stay was very comfortable, and it felt like living in the embrace of the mountains. It was very crowded everywhere during the May Day holiday. We went to Daqi Mountain and played around the teahouse at the entrance. We didn't dare to go in. It was very quiet when we returned to the B&B. The boss was also very nice. Because the B&B was halfway up the mountain, the last section of the road was difficult to drive, so he always came to pick us up. I feel that there may be enough oxygen in the mountains, and I felt very energetic for the few days here. Haha~ The food was also delicious. We arrived at dinner time on the first day because of the traffic jam. We ordered dishes from the boss on the way. The service was in place👍
