Baishan Hotels with Breakfast

Cleanliness: The room was clean and smelled fresh; the lobby was tastefully decorated. Amenities: The heating was excellent. Environment: Very close to the entrance of the West Slope Scenic Area, and there's an Eurasia Supermarket right next door, making it convenient to buy daily necessities and snacks. Service: I recommend the guesthouse's breakfast; it was delicious and plentiful, giving us plenty of energy for our morning hike up the West Slope! Finally, Tiezhu is so cute! ☺️

My flight landed in Changbai Mountain at 11:15 PM, and I had tickets for the West Slope at 7:30 AM the next day. After much deliberation, I chose the Blue River Hotel, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. It saved me both travel time and distance, and I had a comfortable and safe stay. The hotel's location is truly unbeatable, right at the old West Slope entrance. This saved me the trip from Wanda or the town to the main entrance, and then to the old entrance. From the old entrance, you just take a shuttle bus into the West Slope scenic area, and it drops you right at the base of Tianchi Lake. The hotel lobby is incredibly spacious, parking is convenient, the rooms are well-equipped, and they even provide complimentary welcome fruit. Breakfast starts promptly at 7 AM, with a good variety of options. The taste was decent, and I even snuck out two steamed buns to eat on the mountain 😂. I highly recommend the peach juice; the peaches 🍑 from Changbai Mountain are incredibly appealing. The front desk staff were so polite I almost felt embarrassed 😅. When I checked in, they recognized my name from a distance. The next day, as I left, they reminded me to take my umbrella. And when I returned in the afternoon to collect my luggage after exploring, they gave me more fruit and water, and kept asking if there was anything they could have done better. In summary, while the facilities might be a bit older, their shortcomings don't overshadow the positives. I highly recommend this hotel 🏨 to anyone following a similar itinerary as mine.

The bunk beds alone deserve a perfect score! No child can resist them. They even provide bed rails. The hotel lobby has toys, so waiting for the shuttle isn't boring. Plus, the shuttles are frequent and the signs are clear. While Songguoli is a bit far from the commercial street, the shuttle service makes it acceptable, and the price is much cheaper than hotels near the commercial street, offering great value for money. The complimentary activities were also generous. We had two adults and two children, and even though one child wasn't tall enough for some activities, they let the older child play twice, which was very thoughtful. The hotel concierge was also very responsive. The evening firework show was absolutely beautiful! Highly recommended! The other performances were also good. I prefer it here over Wanda. The shuttle buses are more frequent, making for a better experience.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival here, the moon cakes were very sweet, and I saw the fireworks, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. I brought my parents to live for 3 days and the whole family was very satisfied! In the homestay, quiet in the middle of noisy, there is a small yard at the door, and a small vegetable garden planted by the boss himself. It is very warm and clean. My parents can drink tea and sunbathe there every morning. The boss was very patient and helped us plan a slow tour route that was not in a hurry. The location was simply excellent and it was very close to our attractions. The room is quiet, the layout is warm and distinctive, the furniture in the comfortable room is not sharp corners, the hot water is stable for 24 hours, and the water temperature is also suitable for elders. The hygiene is done carefully, and there is no dust in the depths of the wardrobe. My parents said that it is more comfortable than living at home! No matter the facilities, sanitation, environment, and service are impeccable in all aspects, it is simply the best choice for travel!

The pros are: the rooms are spacious, the view is nice, and the evening shows were very interesting – we watched them for two nights and they were different each time, highly recommended! The performers were excellent and not to be missed. The cons are: the service attitude of all the staff throughout the resort, including those at various attractions, the hotel, and the restaurants in the commercial street, was terrible. So bad that we were stunned. So, we've been here, but we won't be coming back. After all, we almost starved because we couldn't find any good food.

During my stay at the hotel, the service was excellent, especially the concierge, Xiao Hui. He was incredibly helpful, answering all our questions and taking care of every detail – a huge thank you to him! Also, the young lady at the front desk on the night shift on the 19th was very enthusiastic. However, I have to complain about the Chinese restaurant. My dad took my child there and ordered black truffle fried rice and stir-fried beef. I don't know if it was because they ordered too little, but the food never came. When they asked a female server about it, her attitude was extremely dismissive, just saying, ”Just wait!” I'm not sure if she wasn't properly trained or if she was just being selective with customers. Later, they asked a manager, who also couldn't give a definitive answer. In the end, they just ordered takeout to the room. Besides this one issue, everything else was great.

The Jinhua Hotel is well-equipped and offers excellent service. Special thanks to Coco (TuTu) at the executive lounge who called me in advance to explain the benefits before I even checked in. The resort has a wide variety of activities, and its location is superb. I thoroughly enjoyed the mountain retreat atmosphere and had a comfortable stay. The commercial street right next to the hotel is also very convenient. Coco (TuTu) was incredibly attentive and enthusiastic, handling everything with great care! Thumbs up!

I forgot to take pictures of the room but I love how huge it is, perfect for groups and families to stay. The host is also very responsive and helpful. He picked up and dropped me off from and to the Railway station, just tell him what you need and he does his best to comply to the requests. The foods are also very local and tasty. The hotel is just few minutes of walk from Wanda Ski Resort. You can also take a taxi from the hotel to Wanda for more or less than 10rmb. The hotel is just near from several restaurants and stores. I even rented my ski suit from the store just near the hotel for only 80rmb/day with a deposit (refundable) of 300rmb which is way cheaper than renting ski suits from Wanda. The hotel is in Guosongcun and the place is perfect for those who want peace and quiet, away from too much crowd. Overall, my stay was absolutely pleasant and if I come back to Changbaishanxi again, I will definitely book the same hotel 👍👍👍❤️

The room was spotless, and the bedding was super comfortable. The balcony was a nice touch. There's so much to do within the resort; we couldn't even get through it all. It rained and was cloudy for most of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it didn't spoil the experience, as some activities could be enjoyed even in the rain. The food was quite unique and special. The service at the mountaintop restaurant was truly exceptional; they not only provided shuttle service but also allowed us to leave unfinished dishes and even delivered them to our hotel. We participated in the bonfire party and interacted with the NPCs; both extroverts and introverts ended up dancing. The air was packed with negative oxygen ions, making for a truly relaxing experience from start to finish.

As a five-star resort hotel, the rooms are spacious and well-equipped, and my kids particularly loved it. The pickled cabbage and pork rib soup for breakfast was a delicious taste of Northeast China, while the other offerings were standard. The fruit selection was limited to only two types. The hotel's location is ideal for those traveling by car, about a 10-minute drive from Songjianghe Town. The EV charging stations are slow chargers, which might not be sufficient during peak season for self-driving guests. The hotel's forest trail is a definite highlight, perfect for a leisurely stroll! The gym, however, lacked towels and drinking water, possibly due to low usage leading to insufficient maintenance.
