[2024 Yi County Stay] Travel Guide for Banyan Tree Huangshan (Updated Nov)
HOTEL Huangshan | At Banyan Tree, collect the romance of spring
After the Awakening of Insects, the wind becomes noticeably clearer and more moist, and the first to wake up are the rapeseed flowers blooming in sequence in the fields of Lucun, with distant mountains draped in new greenery. Nestled among them, Huangshan Banyan Tree presents itself with a serene and secluded posture. Pastoral idyll, spring warmth and bright scenery, this is the most romantic season of the year.
We do not eat out of season, and at the Banyan Tree's White Cloud Restaurant we tasted the first bamboo shoots of the year, crisp and sweet without a hint of bitterness. Huizhou cuisine is characterized by its salty and fresh flavors, emphasizing the original taste and focusing on food therapy. The classic signature dish, stinky mandarin fish, is rich and savory, and the health-preserving chicken soup pot is very suitable for consumption during the spring chill. The side dishes are mostly from the organic garden of the Banyan Tree, offering the freshness and harmlessness of the food.
After the meal, we checked into the Xidi Villa, with a 90-square-meter space layout that feels as comfortable and at ease as returning home. At a certain age, the national style genes seem to awaken automatically, and looking at these new Chinese-style decorations, one can only feel that the aesthetics of Eastern classicism are extremely classic, with a natural and original tone that carries a 'tranquil air'. In the afternoon, light pours in, and a thousand-year nap visualizes the passage of time. The nighttime sleep ritual allows the body and mind to be completely relaxed, with a full sense of healing.
The Huizhou culture and art form has a long history, and we learned to make Huizhou woodblock prints at the hotel. The woodblock has already been carved by the master, and you can freely use your imagination to paint and render with colors, creating a unique piece of art.
At Huangshan Banyan Tree, idling away time is a serious matter. Dwelling, admiring, enjoying, eating, all four senses are satisfied, and there is no need to rush anything.

Ancient villages, ancient towns, and ancient houses, walking in the Huizhou-style architecture, surrounded by mist
Located next to the World Cultural Heritage ancient villages of Hongcun and Xidi, the layered white walls and black tiles, the Huizhou-style loft hidden in the mountains, the Huizhou-style architectural style brings a sense of simplicity and desirelessness to the hotel.

Design
The entire resort is built against the mountain. Huangshan Banyan Tree is like a paradise, hidden in the quiet corner of the mountains. The biggest feature of the Banyan Tree architecture is to take the local customs as the design concept and cleverly integrate it into the architecture. Incorporate the architectural features of Huizhou and Chinese ink painting into the hotel design, every corner is worth savoring.
Room
The guest room continues the Huangshan culture, the Chinese traditional style is more high-end and atmospheric, integrating the natural scenery into the room, full of mountain and water spirit, bedroom, living room, balcony, and separate bathroom and other partitions, life supplies are fully equipped, tea chat Enjoy leisure time.

Banyan Tree Huangshan|I finally understand why so many people stay here.
🟡Banyan Tree Huangshan, stayed in the Hongcun Townhouse. The room has two floors, with the living room on the second floor and the bedroom on the first floor. The facilities are indeed a bit old, so if you have high standards, you might want to stay elsewhere!
🔵But the hotel is truly beautiful, and I really love the Huizhou-style architecture. It's even more beautiful when it rains and the mist rises! Just taking a stroll around the hotel every day is a joy. Plus, I was lucky enough to see a sunset on the day I checked in, so now I have a soft spot for Banyan Tree.
🟢I recommend a restaurant!!!
📍Zui Mei Farmhouse in Lucun
I highly recommend this place to friends staying at Banyan Tree. It's in the village at the hotel entrance, so it's close, delicious, and cheap, and the owner is very nice! Meeting friendly and enthusiastic owners while on vacation always makes me extra happy.
I especially recommend the chicken soup, which can be eaten in two ways. It's very fresh, and the other dishes are also very delicious. We finished everything.

[Ink painting in the morning light]
Wake up, push the window open, and you'll see the misty Huangshan Mountain, as if you were in the ink painting of the ancients. The first ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines on the well-arranged Hui-style buildings. At that moment, time stands still, and the soul gets unprecedented tranquility and peace.

Each room is a carefully designed work of art. The log color tone matches the exquisite carved doors and windows, which not only retains the traditional charm of ancient Huizhou, but also has a modern luxury feel.

Follow in the footsteps of Zhao Lusi and check in at Banyan Tree Huangshan, a symbol of quality and luxury
It is often said, 'In a lifetime of infatuation, there is no dream of Huizhou.' The beauty of Huizhou can be felt without many words. The misty clouds and the picturesque scenery that rivals Jiangnan, the poetic and tranquil world of Huizhou, always allow people to detach from the hustle and bustle of the city. Besides its outstanding natural and unique cultural aspects, there is also a must-visit hotel for hotel enthusiasts, which is Banyan Tree Huangshan.

Banyan Tree Huangshan is uniquely and cleverly located, backed by mountains and overlooking ancient villages. With white walls, black tiles, horse-head walls, and green mountains surrounding clear waters, the hotel is set in this idyllic scenery. The entire hotel fully showcases the characteristics of Huizhou architecture, with towering horse-head walls and white walls with black tiles that blend with the scenery.

At the Huangshan family hotel! I really love this place to death!

Parents who want to free their hands and lazily stroll with their kids, hurry and take a look❗
The hotel is located in Huangshan, Anhui, nestled among the mountains, where you can breathe the pure natural air and overlook the cultural landscape of Huizhou villages.
From a distance, the houses with white walls and black tiles are hidden among the mountains, the simple and clear white and gray tiles form a continuous stretch, like an ink painting full of poetic imagery🏞
We stayed in a children-themed two-bedroom villa, which can accommodate a family of four! The room has great privacy, and the view is fantastic!
Every morning, we and the children sleep until we naturally wake up in the room, and as soon as we open our eyes, we can directly appreciate the 🖼 distant mountain villages and the beauty of the mountain foothills~
In addition to the natural scenery, there are also many activities suitable for kids:
✅ Children's playground ✅ Petting zoo ✅ Children's swimming pool
The children's playground is indoors, with slides, rocking horses, and toy balls, suitable for babies of small months to bring their children to play, and they can be discharged for half a day!
There is a large petting zoo on the public lawn, with 🐽mini pigs, rabbits, sheep, mostly free-range, and there are 🦚 peacocks raised in the lobby, and you can interact with them.
Both big kids and little babies will have a lot of fun. The hotel staff are very patient and considerate, and they even gave us cloth toys.
The hotel also has an indoor swimming pool specially prepared for children, friends who are worried about the weather being too hot and want to take their children to cool off, just come here!
The children's swimming pool is not very deep, and there are water toys specially prepared for children, 💦 letting the kids play all day long!
The hotel's meals are also very delicious, with Western food, buffet, and very authentic Hui cuisine! We ate here for three days in a row, and almost no repeats!

Where to take the kids during summer vacation? How to choose a hotel between Huangshan & Hongcun?!
First, you need to decide whether to stay near the Hongcun scenic area? Inside the Xixi South scenic area? In the Huangshan scenic area? Or in Lucun?
Next is the price. There are plenty of choices, and it's all up to your budget~
Here's our family hotel guide for your reference:
1. Hongcun Qingmei Xueshe•Shili Lili Hot Spring Hotel
With a limited budget, after much comparison, we chose this one. It's a transformation of an ancient building, very characteristic; but it also has its limitations, such as the old wooden structure, and not so soundproof, some wooden floors will creak. The hotel is not very large overall, with several scenic spots that are very photogenic. There's an outdoor swimming pool and scattered hot spring pools, which the kids love very much. The price is not outrageous for the summer season~ It's a few hundred meters from the entrance of Hongcun scenic area, and just a few steps away is a large lotus pond, where you can buy freshly picked lotus pods, lotus flowers, and processed lotus root powder.
2. Inside the Xixi South scenic area, Huangshan Shili Lili·Weiyangfu Cultural Heritage Hot Spring Resort
Another transformation of an ancient building from the Shili Lili series, a friend who stayed once said it lives up to the beauty of its appearance, super photogenic~~
3. Huangshan Banyan Tree
The hotel is right outside Lucun, uniquely independent, a world of its own, truly amazing, feels like there's no need to go anywhere else, just anchor the restless soul~~
4. Lucun Village Shangrenjia Homestay
The owner is very playful and will take guests on various fancy adventures~ Suitable for families with kids~

The Banyan Tree Huangshan is extremely comfortable for post-90s empty nesters
After staying at the Banyan Tree Huangshan over the weekend, I can only say that there is only the first and countless times to stay at the Banyan Tree; it's just too suitable for a post-90s empty nester like me to retire here🥰
💫 Surrounded by bird songs and floral scents, it's a tranquil haven halfway up the mountain.
Located next to the ancient village of Hongcun in Anhui, surrounded by picturesque mountains, it's peaceful and serene. The hotel is inspired by Hui-style architecture, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, a perfect place to relax and unwind.
🗻 Hongcun scenic area is just a step away.
The ancient Hui-style village of Hongcun is right next to the hotel, and when free, one can experience the unique culture and architectural style of Huizhou. Not far away are other famous attractions such as Huangshan and Xidi.
💎 A profound cultural heritage that blends Chinese and Western elements.
The hotel incorporates elements of Hui-style architecture, Chinese ink painting, and calligraphy, refined both inside and out. The high-view design of the lobby is great for sitting and enjoying the afternoon tea while taking in the view.
🏡 Courtyard-style detached villas.
The hotel has several independent courtyard villas, complete with hot spring pools, ensuring privacy. The rooms also retain the Hui-style decoration, which is very culturally charming.
🌱 Outdoor vitality and tranquility.
Outdoors, there's an endless green countryside to gaze upon, with views of the sea of clouds. There's also a small animal farm in the private courtyard, where all the little animals are very cute🐶
🍽 Authentic Huizhou cuisine meticulously prepared.
The restaurant serves genuine Huizhou flavors, the ingredients feel top-notch, the buffet breakfast is varied, and there are Western options too, a real treat for the taste buds😍
In short, staying here, one's whole body and mind stretch out, and I'll be coming back often!

Banyan Tree Huangshan | Just checked out | Sharing some useful information for you
Just checked out | Sharing some useful information for you. With a child in tow, we were initially just aiming for a vacation, to eat, drink, and play at the hotel, take a stroll nearby, experience the local spirit of the place, and incidentally recharge our energy fields. We stayed at Banyan Tree Huangshan for three days and two nights, and also roamed around the surrounding ancient villages. I hope this guide will be helpful to you.
⚠️: Banyan Tree Huangshan is close to Lucun, Hongcun, and Tachuan, but a bit far from the Huangshan scenic area, so it's more suitable for a vacation combined with a leisurely visit to ancient villages, rather than hardcore mountain climbing trips.
⚠️: Hongcun, Xidi, and Huangshan are free on Wednesdays, and the high-speed rail Yixian East Station is also about to open, making it more convenient to come and go for fun.
📍Located in Yixian, Huangshan City, Lucun is just a stone's throw away, very pristine, quiet, and beautiful. You can ask the hotel's shuttle to take you to the entrance of the village. It's also very close to Hongcun, suitable for a relaxed stroll through ancient villages with children, enjoying food and fun.
First, let's briefly talk about the hotel's courtesies
📮 Welcome fruit is provided daily
📮 Nightly turndown service with tortoise-shaped pastries and star-shaped cookies from Hongcun
📮 Complimentary travel photography: Advance reservation required, 5 original photos provided
📭 Breakfast is very rich and served until about 11:00 am, so filling that you won't need lunch
✅ The hotel is quite large, very suitable for a vacation. Each room has a bathtub, with aromatic essential oils provided, which are replenished during daily cleaning. If you run out, you can call the front desk for more, they smell really good
✅ The hotel lobby's Qingfeng Bar has an extra-large terrace outside, which is the best spot for taking photos. Remember to snap a few pictures
✅ Be sure to check out the view of Lucun village, distant mountains, and misty smoke in the early morning, full of poetic and picturesque Jiangnan scenery, truly healing
✅ Collect 5 stamps to exchange for a small gift, I easily collected 12 and exchanged for a bottle of fragrant and useful moisturizer
✅ The hotel allows feeding peacocks and goldfish, don't forget if you have a baby. You can call for a shuttle from the front desk to the room and nearby areas
✅ Breakfast is highly commendable, although not particularly numerous in variety, everything is quite delicious! Especially the rice noodles with bamboo shoots, so tasty that I had 2 bowls every morning. Breakfast lasts until 11 am, saving the need for lunch, perfect for a vacation where you sleep until you wake up naturally
✅ Every day at 5 pm there is a sunset ceremony, after the performance, there are drinks and snacks available for the taking
✅ Their swimming pool is really big and awesome, remember to bring a swimsuit if you like swimming, especially little babies will love it
✅ When I stayed, staying for two nights allowed for an upgrade to a third night for free, ask about the specifics when you book
✅ Nearby the hotel, there's the commercially heavy Hongcun, less so Xidi, and the pristine Lucun (free), play around Hongcun + Lucun, and leave the rest of the beauty for next time

You must stay here when you visit Huangshan!
Huangshan Banyan Tree, nestled in the mountains and near the water, is close to both Hongcun and Huangshan, especially a 5-minute walk to Lucun. Whether you want to relax in the hotel or tour around, it's very convenient.
Full of Huizhou design elements, wood carvings, Huangshan, green bricks and black tiles, welcoming pines, auspicious clouds, whether it's guest rooms, restaurants or the lobby, you can find these small elements! Especially in the Qinfeng lobby bar, the best view of the entire hotel, you can see the ancient village on half of the mountain outside the window. At night, you can also overlook the beautiful scenery of Moon Lake.
Personally, I think the most cost-effective is the Lu Yuan Suite, with both large and twin beds, you can directly see the scenery of Lucun from the balcony, the overall layout draws on the ancient Huizhou houses, open the door to see the hall, push the door into the bedroom; Xidi Villa features a wooden barrel bathtub experience, the kind that can directly face the outside scenery; Hongcun row villas are suitable for families with pets, the hotel thoughtfully provides pet supplies, as well as a dedicated kitchen, private courtyard and parking space, suitable for the whole family to go out!
Peacocks are fed in the courtyard, squatting for a display! Lawn kiss pet map, each one has a name! Handmade aromatherapy candles, take away the fragrance of the mountains! Professional Banyan Tree SPA, relax your body and mind! In the Chinese design swimming pool, it's worth it just to take pictures!

Before, I said that Banyan Tree at the foot of Huangshan Mountain is a poetic garden between the ancient mountains and rivers. Why do I say this? In this spring season, there is a full-fledged rapeseed field outside the Banyan Tree in Huangshan, with the ancient village and the Zen of the hotel. The scene is like a landscape painting. In the hotel park, the cherry blossoms, the weather is good, it is estimated that it will bloom in two or three days. The gradual ending of Magnolia, although it has passed the most beautiful time, but its pure white, bright purple pure, people still love and affection. If you look at flowers in the spring, you should find a place like this, and the most loved ones, swim freely in the ocean of flowers.

In the spring of Weinan, it seems to be the only favor of heaven. White wall gray tiled horse head wall ancient village, yellow canola flower, everywhere the eyes are beautiful and romantic! Banyan Tree Huangshan, located in Lu Village, Huangshan County, is undoubtedly the best place to stay in the ancient village of Weinan. As a poetic garden at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, Banyan Tree Village in the village flower field has moved the spring and landscape into the guest room. The bedside has a huge scenery of Huangshan, and the local wood carvings and bamboo carvings in the south of the room. Even if it is a dwelling and a guest room, it is like walking through a small mountain village. Take a stroll around the hotel area, whether it's a pavilion or a hotel building, the beauty of what you see will make you a lot less!
