ZiShan Ecological Resort

5* - Doubtless the best accommodation in Zhangjiajie This turned out to be the best possible accommodation option for visiting the tourist sites around Zhangjiajie (itself one of the finest tourist destinations in China). It is extremely comfortable and well-kept. The rooms are spotlessly clean and spacious in a modern design, with a lot of warm, light-coloured, solid wood. In cold weather, the heating (including floor-heating) works very well and so, after a long day's tourism (potentially among the crowds), the Zishan resort is a sanctuary of peace for you to return to. It is in a quiet mountain environment with beautiful scenery. Lulu, who speaks very good English, looked after every possible detail of the stay - it was effortless for the guest. She organized cars (to and from the airport, to and from the tourist sites), as well as entrance tickets to the various attractions. Without her, life would have been much more complicated. All of the staff were most friendly and welcoming - nothing was too much trouble for them. A word regarding location: no hotel in the region can offer proximity to all of the tourist sites (National Park, Grand Canyon, Tianmen Mountain), because they are all some distance from each other. Therefore, wherever you stay, you will need to take some cars; but that is no problem, as they are readily available. However, Zishan resort also offers the advantage of being literally 10 minutes' walk from the south-east gate of the National Park, used by far fewer tourists than the main gate. Therefore, even if the resort is some distance from the city, this is a major advantage, coupled with the beautifully peaceful setting. Zishan resort also has a good restaurant which is open for most of the day. This tastefully created hotel made for a truly memorable stay (though I can imagine that it may not be easy to obtain a room during the main tourist season!).

A wonderful accommodation close to the Zhangjiajie forests. Just 2 mins drive to the entrance. The place is furthermore a cosy getaway, quiet and remote, to enjoy a romantic stay. The staff is very helpful and aware of our needs and made our stay, even with mediocre weather conditions, just breathtakingly comfortable. I hope we find an opportunity t come again.
