Shimen Banshan Hotel: A Recommended Xi'an Getaway Homestay

A hotel transformed from stone, nestled among mountains and waters—the perfect vacation spot: Shimen Banshan Hotel. 🏨 Hotel: Shimen Banshan Resort Hotel 📍 Address: Inside Shaohua Mountain Scenic Area, Huazhou District, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province Surroundings: The hotel is located in the middle section of Shaohua Mountain, facing south and embraced by towering peaks. Walking along the mountain path, you'll encounter layered stone wells and scattered peculiar rocks. The shallow valleys echo with the sound of water rushing over stones. Design Style: Stone is extensively and diversely used, with different textures and craftsmanship giving each piece its unique character. Features include pebble walls, gravel floors, terrazzo flooring, exposed aggregate walls, and stone slab steps. Room Design: Every scenic room features floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony, offering ever-changing views of the mountain landscape through the seasons. The interior furniture follows a Morandi color palette, avoiding strong contrasts to create a relaxing atmosphere. From inside, the sloped eaves and wooden grilles frame the mountain views horizontally, enhancing the serene and minimalist scenery. The restaurant is a standalone building with a distinct style—a rare wooden pitched roof design in northern China, named "Drunken Mountain" to echo the hotel's theme. The spacious dining area accommodates up to 200 guests, serving Shaanxi cuisine and local delicacies. Only by seeing it firsthand can you appreciate the ingenious design and the value of stone. This valley hotel, transformed with stone and wood, is truly breathtaking.
