Shanyu Life and Huangshan Design

We had a relaxing stay here at 山语! The accommodation was a 10-minute drive to the entrance of Huangshan. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food, while not the cheapest, was so delicious that we ended up having two dinners here during our three-night stay. The accommodation is aesthetically on point, with modern and stylish decor. Since we visited in November, we did note that there was only heating available, but this was not a major issue for us since it a little chilly outside. Overall, it was a cosy escape for us and we will be back if we visit Huangshan again! Bonus: They have an adorable kitten that we absolutely adored!!

We are tourists from Indonesia with very little Mandarin speaking ability. And we travel with a 5 years old. We choose this place to stay during our Huangshan hike trip with little expectation. Turns out, even with language barrier they managed to assist us beyond 5 stars! The communication started before our arrival, they checked on us and making sure we have easy journey to their hotel. They offer very reasonable price for pick up & drop off service to Huangshanbei Railway Station with a comfortable Tesla. I had a really pleasant stay at their hotel. I have travelled few places before but my stay at Shanyu is something very memorable to us, especially for my daughter. Their warmth welcome, smile, hospitality, and kindness are communicated through the beautiful bedroom (they upgraded our room!), environment (they have tea plantation at the back), and their cuisines are amazing!! We had dinner at their restaurants each night and we like it so much (including my picky eater daughter). On my hiking day, they caringly prepared us raincoat, climbing stick, and takeaway snacks. They even drop and pick us up on the Huangshan tourist center. The only regret we have is we stay for 2 nights only.

An absolutely beautiful hotel surrounded by lush tea plantations and bamboo forests. The location is perfect, the rooms are fancy and spotless, and all amenities are top-notch. We loved visiting their own tea plantation to watch the stunning sunset. The food is delicious, and the boss is incredibly attentive and helpful. A sweet touch was the small gift we received at checkout — it made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommended!
