Yunqiju Homestay, right by the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda on Mount Putuo, was an unexpected highlight of our trip to Putuo and absolutely deserves a five-star review! Nestled between the mountains and the sea, it's very close to the pagoda, so you can see its silhouette from your window. The courtyard, with its swaying bamboo, exudes a serene, Zen-like atmosphere. Far from the city bustle, sitting in the courtyard, listening to the wind and admiring the scenery, you're enveloped in peaceful tranquility. In the mornings and evenings, you can also experience Putuo's unique, quiet Buddhist charm – the ambiance is just perfect.
The service was incredibly thoughtful. After booking, the butler proactively contacted us to meticulously plan our island itinerary and prayer routes. Upon arrival, a private car picked us up, and we didn't have to worry about our luggage at all. When we left the island, they even thoughtfully delivered our luggage to the pier. This full-service concierge treatment made us feel incredibly well cared for. We also received a lovely welcome afternoon tea upon check-in, and foot soak sachets were provided for tired feet when we returned late at night. They even offer to help with prayers on the first and fifteenth day of the ***** month – every detail shows how much care they put in.
The room facilities are brand new and high-end, with smart home controls throughout, a giant screen projector, and comfortable floor heating. Some room types even have private courtyards, scenic terraces, and oversized bathtubs. Disposable toiletries, makeup remover wipes, and other small essentials were all provided. The cleanliness was impeccable; the rooms were spotless, and the bedding was soft and skin-friendly, making for an exceptionally comfortable stay. The homestay isn't far from the Foding Mountain cable car, making it very convenient for exploring the scenic area. They can also recommend excellent local eateries, offering fantastic value for money.
Staying at Yunqiju isn't just about accommodation; it's about enjoying a slower pace of life on Putuo. The butler's warmth, the serene environment, and the thoughtful amenities all made us feel like we were coming home. I'll definitely choose this place again for future prayer trips to Putuo and wholeheartedly recommend it to all friends visiting the island. May Yunqiju continue to thrive, and may everyone who stays here achieve their wishes!
