Shanyu Life and Huangshan Design

The hotel was stylish, modern, and convenient, and was beautifully and tastefully decorated. The breakfast was excellent, with filling and tasty food. The staff was friendly, courteous, and professional. The hotel provided free transport to and from the base of Yellow Mountain. The dinner at the hotel was delicious and very reasonably priced.

Very pleasant service including pick-up at the train station and transport to the Huangshan National Park shuttle bus centre. Stylishly furnished and clean room. Delicious, healthy and extensive breakfast included. Additional Provision Of Hiking Equipment (Raincoats, Hiking Stick). Staff very friendly - English a bit difficult but possible with translation app.

We had a great stay overall! The service was exceptional, and the people who worked at the hotel were truly amazing—friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable, and that made a big difference in our experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of fresh options to choose from each morning. Honestly, the staff were the highlight of our stay. The only downsides were that the laundry service didn’t meet expectations, and the pool was green and not well-maintained—it looked quite different from the photos. Still, thanks to the outstanding team, we would definitely consider returning.

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!

An amazing place! We loved our stay here. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The room is stunning and the food is delicious.

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.
