Xiangmu Qingyuan Inn

This homestay hotel located not far from north gate of the national park. The owner family of the hotel everyone is super friendly. And the owner himself provided lots of good suggestion and service for our trip. We planned each day in park following his instruction and map. The small town is further away from the city or usual tourists location (east gate) and a bit hard to get too we contacted owner ahead of time who arranged service and picked us up from Tianmenshan. The fee for the ride will be more than those rides within city but much saved compared to the cable car tickets or the elevator. Not too mention the hassle waiting in line for the cable car twice per day. North gate we get in park and attraction points daily by bus. Few points in the lower ground owner arranged another ride to west gate on last day of our visit, and we paid much less if we were have to pay for cable car tickets to go down plus the nice view of 15 min walk from one bus parking to lower bus parking. Owner of hotel also arranged luggage service so we enjoyed our last day in park while luggage sent to next stop waiting for us. Hotel rooms we stayed looked like national park cedar cabin and smell like cedar too which is nice. The air con unit is strong and cool down our rooms in hot summer quickly so we could have good rest for next day. Temperature is also lower compared to east gate option which we stayed next, much hotter there. Hotel also can cook few dishes for dinner, family, kids and us enjoyed the food and it’s cheaper than restaurant in town. And don’t forget to ask owner for park or show tickets. He sells them with discount. Cheaper than elsewhere. We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Thank you.

Really friendly and helpful owner. Treat his guests as friends and help us to book cheaper tickets and give us guidance on how to visit the park etc.

我們一家訂了8月11號張家界東門入園的門票，誰知道11.12號都下雨，11號東門入園百龍天梯上，天子山索道下，人多排了很長時間的隊，特別是下山的時候，風大雨大的在山頂排了一個多小時的隊，狼狽不堪！12號南門進黃石寨也下雨，但比11號雨少了點，兩天的遊玩張家界很多景點都被濃霧籠罩沒看着，13號遊天門山，本來游完天門山就準備回家了，但這麼遠自駕過來啥都沒看到又心有不甘，而且13號天氣開始放晴，想着張家界的門票14號還有效，就想進園多玩一天，機緣巧合下刷到一個視頻説張家界北門可以直接坐擺渡車到山頂，不用另外買索道票，看到攜程這間民宿的評價挺高，於是訂了馬上開車過來。老闆如網友所評，很熱心，幫我們升了房，還為我們制定了第二天的遊玩線路，還包接送，那天天氣挺好的，之前沒看到的景點都看到了，張家界遊終於如願。還有就是老闆娘的廚藝了得，煮的家常菜非常可口，我們在他們家吃了兩頓早餐兩晚餐，非常滿意。提醒一下的是北門沒有班車到，所以衹適合自駕或自己組團的隊友們，人少不排隊，不用買索道票，可以慢慢遊，超讚。天子山鎮本身也是一個安靜，沒有商業化的湘西美麗小鎮，14號玩完下山我們又續住了一晚，太喜歡這個小鎮這間民宿和老闆夫妻了。希望老闆生意興隆，有機會會介紹朋友過來住的。第一次寫這麼長的評價，不想辜負老闆接待時的熱情！
