Romantic Hotels in Shanxi, China

The B&B is close to the North Gate, so it was pretty easy to find. The owner even picked me up from Pingyao Ancient City Station late at night, which I really appreciated – it made my travel experience so much better. They carefully explained the locations of attractions and gave me a map. When I left, they even gave me some vinegar as a gift; they're incredibly warm and welcoming. Seriously, if you're coming to Pingyao, you should definitely stay here, haha! It's safe, clean, and the facilities are all there. For longer stays, they even proactively clean your room. The decor has a local flair too – who wouldn't want to try sleeping on a traditional heated 'kang' bed without any fuss? Thanks for everything, I'll definitely stay here again next time. Loved it, loved it!

Overall, it was very good, as expected. I feel it's necessary to write a positive review to encourage the hotel to maintain its current service standards! This trip was specifically planned during the off-season for my elders to relax and for my own personal rest. On the first night, we found the room too stuffy. After reporting it, they immediately upgraded and changed our room (a big thank you to the lovely lady at the front desk; later, on the third day, she also explained the three ways to close a window we had an issue with. I don't know her name, but I was very satisfied with her service these past few days 👍🏻). She was a woman with her hair up, wearing a dark blue suit. Facilities: The washbasins and toilets are Duravit, and having two washbasins is a big plus! The room has a sofa, a walk-in closet, and a matching table and chairs. A suggestion: the lighting color in the walk-in closet isn't very good, it's too yellow. Cleanliness: I specifically checked some areas, and there was no dust. It was clean and tidy. Environment: Superb, exactly as seen in previous reviews. A well-deserved luxury hotel. Service: (Only for off-peak experience) From the front desk to the staff at the buffet breakfast, everyone I interacted with was excellent. The breakfast selection was also quite rich. If you're visiting during the off-peak season, I would recommend this hotel. Finally, this hotel didn't harass me for a positive review. I just remembered that the Huazhu Hotel incident happened right behind this one, so I decided to write this.

This time I intentionally chose a guesthouse within the ancient city of Datong, and it turned out to be the biggest surprise for my child! As soon as we entered, my child was captivated by the peacocks, parrots, squirrels, and koi... it was like a small zoo. Every morning, my child would wake up and run to the courtyard to watch the peacocks display their feathers, chat with the parrots, and observe the little squirrel running in its wheel for ages. They also fed the koi in the pond multiple times. My child had an absolute blast. The room was clean, with an antique charm, and the owner was very welcoming, even helping us plan our itinerary. The location is excellent, right outside Huayan Temple. If you're visiting Datong with kids, this place offers an unparalleled experience. Highly recommended!

I've been to Xinzhou Ancient City a few times, and I genuinely feel that Futian Yuhua Hotel is the absolute best hotel here. The rooms are spotless, they deliver fresh fruit daily, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The private hot spring bath experience was fantastic, and there was a constant supply of complimentary drinks every day. From the moment you step through the main entrance, you notice the incredible attention to detail – it's clear the owner has excellent taste. From the moment I called about parking, a butler was already waiting at the entrance. The service was warm and thoughtful. When leaving, they even reminded me to take a complimentary bottle of water and offered tissues, showing how much they genuinely care for their guests. On the day of check-in, I couldn't figure out the stopper for the hot spring pool, but after a quick call, someone came to help within less than a minute. I'll definitely be bringing my family back to stay here again in the future and will highly recommend it to my friends.

The hotel lobby is absolutely stunning. Day and night, you face the serene Huayan Temple and watch the crowds in the square. It got colder today, but the afternoon sun was pleasantly warm. Room: I stayed in the Huayan room, the closest one to Huayan Temple. The room looked exactly like the hotel pictures – what you see is what you get. My only minor gripe is that the window is a bit small and faces the replica eaves of the ancient buildings in the square. The details outside the window aren't great; there's an unpeeled protective film on the outer window and a thick electrical wire dangling outside. Facilities: The 'Xiaodu' smart assistant is quite good. However, casting to the TV requires using 'Meibo,' which is really inconvenient. The bathroom is excellent; both the overhead and handheld showerheads can be used simultaneously, making for a very comfortable shower. The faucet design is also great, and there's a thoughtful clothesline in the shower area. The hotel has a laundry room available until 9 PM. Service: I stayed for four days and met six staff members – three men and three women – all incredibly polite. You can tell their service is thoughtful: on the first day, I had knife-cut noodles for breakfast. I didn't mention I don't eat cilantro or green onions, but they disappeared from my breakfast dishes in the following days. The evening foot bath tub is very comfortable, and the foot soak sachet contains red dates, Sichuan peppercorns, and astragalus (couldn't identify the others). The hotel's sea buckthorn juice and astragalus water are also good. Yesterday, I overheard a guest at the front desk complaining about the service, but honestly, it's quite good. When you call, a staff member will always come up to help with luggage. Dining: Breakfast is a set meal, and after a few days, it does get a bit repetitive. However, the knife-cut noodles and rice vermicelli are good, and the siu mai is also tasty. I hope they can vary the side dishes and pastries in the future, maybe offer some fried dough sticks or something... I also have to mention the hot drinks at the front desk: the latte is much, much better than Starbucks, probably because of the quality of the milk. Transportation: Transportation is very convenient; it's easy to get anywhere. I'll definitely come back next time, and I'd like to try a duplex room, haha. It wasn't crowded on Monday, so I peeked into a few empty rooms, and almost every duplex was unique.

Mu Qingchen: A time surprise under the ancient city wall, a perfect place for anniversaries When the hustle and bustle of cars and horses is gently blocked by the towering city walls, Mu Qingchen stands quietly in the deep alleys of Dongnanyi, becoming an unexpected surprise on our family's anniversary trip. Pushing the window is the quaint courtyard and mottled brick walls. In the morning, you are awakened by the wind chimes on the eaves, and at night you fall asleep quietly with the ancient city as your pillow - this unique time charm of Datong is the most moving background of Mu Qingchen. The warm easter egg of the anniversary, the heartstrings are quietly plucked! The moment you push the door, the carefully decorated room instantly lights up the atmosphere of the anniversary: the soft and warm light strings fall like stars, the petals on the bed are pieced into a heart pattern, and the handwritten greeting cards are sincere. This sense of ritual that far exceeds expectations makes the ordinary check-in moment sublimate into a precious memory anchor. The children's surprised cheers and the smile in the eyes of the lover are the best response to this intention. In the hinterland of Dongnanyi, you can enter the thousand-year-old picture scroll of the ancient city by pushing the window. The greatest charm of Mu Qingchen is that it is located in the beating ”heart” of the ancient city - Southeast Town. When you get up in the morning and take a stroll, you will be immersed in the fireworks of the city. Special restaurants, cultural and creative shops, and ancient courtyards are lined up. It takes a short walk to reach the magnificent Huayan Temple, and it is also close to climb the city wall to overlook the magnificent ancient city. This irreplaceable location gift allows us to truly ”live in the scenery”. Mu Qingchen is far more than a place to sleep for a night. It uses the bricks and tiles of the ancient city as paper and the caring service as ink to write a chapter of the anniversary full of warmth and surprises for us. If you are eager to find a place with convenience, style and humanistic care in the thousand-year texture of Datong, Mu Qingchen will be a name that lives up to your expectations in your journey - it understands the weight of ritual, and knows how to make the laughter of a family echo for a long time under the ancient city wall.

The moment I moved into ”Xunsu”, I fell in love with it! I was gently awakened by the waves in the morning. The simple design is full of ingenuity - the smart home silently integrates into the natural atmosphere. I love the soft linen couch by the bay window, where I can read a book or be in a daze for a while, and time is so slow that I can hear my heartbeat. The bedding is as skin-friendly as clouds, and even my picky partner rarely praises ”the deep sleep”. The local seasonal fruit plate prepared by the housekeeper is warmer than expected. If there is a regret, it is probably that I couldn't stay a few more days to fully collect this poetic feeling.

The Novotel Yunqiu Mountain Hotel boasts an excellent location, adjacent to the scenic area and offering convenient access to transportation. The rooms are clean and tidy, with expansive views of the mountains visible from the windows. The bedding is comfortable, ensuring a great rest. The dining options are plentiful and delicious, and the service is warm and attentive. From check-in to check-out, the staff is attentive and efficient, making guests feel truly welcome. With its comprehensive facilities and elegant environment, the hotel is an ideal choice for exploring Yunqiu Mountain. Many thanks to all the staff for their dedicated service; highly recommended!

From the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby, I was captivated by its luxurious and grand decor. The marble floor was as shiny as a mirror, and the crystal chandeliers sparkled, making me feel like I was in an art palace. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and the check-in process was quick and efficient. They also thoughtfully introduced me to all of the hotel's facilities. The room I stayed in was spacious and bright, decorated in a cozy and comfortable manner. The bedding was soft and gentle on the skin. The room's soundproofing was excellent, completely shielding me from outside disturbances. The bathroom was fully equipped, and the toiletries were all high-quality brands, which made using them a real pleasure. The hotel's recreational facilities were also very extensive. The gym had a full range of equipment, meeting all my daily workout needs. The swimming pool was crystal clear with suitable water temperature. Swimming in it, all my fatigue seemed to wash away. This stay was truly impeccable, and I highly recommend everyone to experience this hotel! I believe you'll fall in love with it just as I did.
