Homestays w: Jilin, China

The owner was very hospitable, and there were always drivers available at the entrance who were ready to answer any questions or help with travel plans. The aunties at the hot springs were also very warm and helped with towels. The indoor bath was cleaned daily, and overall, everything was quite good. The only issue was that the toilet wasn't clean upon check-in, but the front desk attendant came quickly to address it. Overall, it was a good experience, and I recommend it.

This hotel is located within the Enduli scenic area, right next to Autumn Duck Park, making it very pleasant for a stroll. There are also many dining options outside the scenic area, which are more affordable and tastier than those inside. It's very convenient, just a short walk across a small bridge. This was the second hotel we stayed at in Erdaodaohe Town during the National Day holiday. Compared to the 2000 RMB hot spring hotel, the rooms here were much more comfortable and spacious. They even had a small balcony perfect for sunbathing or drying clothes. The service was also very thoughtful. We, a family of two adults and one child, had originally booked a king-size room. However, Li at the front desk upgraded us to a family room, saving us several hundred yuan! We were so happy; it really felt like a home away from home. The shuttle driver, Master Zhang, was patient and polite. Overall, I highly recommend staying here for at least one night to experience it.

Like this hotel, I will write a good review for free. It is really cost-effective. This time I went to Yanji for a business trip. His facilities are very complete. The rooms are also beautifully decorated. The facilities are very good. The bathroom is dry and wet. Separate, projection, and the price is also favorable. Everyone must live here when you come to Yanji. The main parking is free and the parking space is convenient. Not far from the net red wall Yanda. If you see this comment when you pick a cost-effective hotel, you don’t have to pick it directly. It’s not good to follow up with me below.

This B&B is just a few minutes' drive from the North Slope visitor center. It's quiet, elegant, clean, and hygienic. The owner's detailed pick-up instructions were a lifesaver for someone like me who's terrible with directions. The owner is warm and thoughtful, with both the meticulousness and cleanliness you'd expect from Korean style, and the straightforward, hearty nature of a Northeastern guy. Friends, if you're coming to Changbai Mountain, choose this B&B! It's like a cup of coffee after a long day, warming your hands, refreshing your spirit, and softening time itself.

I had a great time in Yánjí since I planned a lot of border excursions. I can speak both Korean and Chinese comfortably to navigate this region, which is also known as the Third Korea. The location of this place was great since it was in the city center across from Yanji University. (I was assigned room 1206.) I'm not sure which photos they're using for advertising, but my room looked far more beat up and outdated. I also killed a lot of small cockroaches that were roaming around the kitchenette area. Again, this was not a big deal for me since they weren't ginormous, but one huge cockroach did appear one day near the bathroom. It's one thing for the room to look somewhat different from the advertised photos, but please at least keep the space much cleaner. (The laundry machine was bonus, but I had to buy laundry soap next door at the convenience store. This should have been provided considering there was an empty soap box on the floor next to the machine.) The reason why I booked this place was to do frequent laundry rather than stay at a hotel... I traveled from NYC, so it wasn't like I was an average Chinese tourist from a domestic region. This was my first visit to China since 1996.05 and I used my 10-year China visa for the first time since I applied back in 2017.08. Note: I checked out the other rooms on the floor and they were much nicer than what I booked. I'm guessing those were listed on WeChat and the less attractive rooms are listed on here, etc. After I checked out by 12:00 noon, I stored my luggage next door at the convenience store for a few hours. They charged CN¥5/per hour… I paid CN¥15 since I knew 3 hours was all I needed before my flight.

Here’This resort hotel was the most satisfying stay of our entire 8-day China trip across Harbin, Changbaishan, Xuexiang, and Yabuli. We stayed in a family residence unit, which allowed all of us to live together comfortably under one household. The resort is extremely clean and well-maintained. Our unit even included a mahjong table and a private hot spring, which made the stay very enjoyable. Although the price is not cheap, it is definitely worth the money. The butler service was excellent — the staff were attentive and always did their best to accommodate our requests. Highly recommended. I’m confident you will have a pleasant and memorable stay here.

Had a wonderful 3-night stay there! Location: Ride hailing is needed to visit the nearby restaurants/ shops at 二道白河镇 as it’s located on a hill (about 10 min ride away). The entrance looks a little shabby but do not worry, just follow the direction and signage, you are in good hands!! The nearest walkable shop is a small local convenient store. A short 10 min walk to the meetup point to go up changbaishan (長白山北景區遊客集散中心）. Experience: A very comfortable stay with very approachable staffs. No issue with network connection. Breakfast is simple but with fresh ingredients. Very clean stay. Every item in the stay (such as bedding, shampoo, toilet, drinks etc) are all of very good quality. The guesthouse is decorated with anexcellent sense of aesthetics. The stay experience is definitely better than 3-4 star hotels. Staffs are very responsive and helpful, especially a big plus point for us foreigners. The driver and tours they recommended worth every penny and reduce the trouble of self sourcing. 0 hard selling, the recommendations are purely compiled as a travel guide. It is ultimately a small guesthouse and not a hotel, so please be nice to the staff and let’s not be demanding. Conclusion: It is such a gem in this county region and is the BEST choice if you do not mind paying more for a good stay to ease your mind. I will definitely re-visit it. There is a small kitchen with simple payable cafe menu. The environment is very comfortable, if you merely want a place to chill, you can order delivery without needing to go out.

Overall, we had a great stay despite a small hiccup with the pickup due to hotel staff turnover and miscommunication. The hotel room was amazing and super well designed with great amenities, it was undoubtedly the best accommodation we had during our 2 weeks in Dongbei. Even though we didn’t book breakfast, the boss gave us free breakfast to comepensate for the poor experience we had with the pickup from the high speed rail (I would strongly recommend giving them a call to confirm the pickup rather than communicating through WeChat). The breakfast was super tasty and has lots of different side dishes (not saying this because it’s free lol), would definitely recommend. We were there during NYE and NY, and seems like people in the neighbourhood really liked fireworks. We probably saw fireworks 8 -9 times during our 3 days stay (including one from our host), super lucky! The local restaurant the host recommended was very tasty as well (not touristy so be prepared for a raw experience), food was great and fried eggs is a must try. The only issue with staying in this area was transport if you don’t have a driver for your stay in Changbaishan (which is a well known issue for all hotels in this area). Getting a cab took about an hour… after constant failing, the boss was so nice that she tried to call all her friends to see if they were available to drive us to the restaurant and we got there at the end!!!! 谢谢老板和老板娘的烟花还有小礼物，我们玩得特别开心！

How can you visit Yanji without experiencing a princess photoshoot? Choosing Xueting Songluan Pavilion was a very wise decision. The guesthouse's location is excellent, just a five-minute walk from the Folk Village, which is incredibly convenient. The guesthouse also provides several sets of Hanbok for guests to use for photos. The guesthouse service is also very thoughtful. They helped with luggage, provided fresh fruit daily, offered a choice of three set breakfast menus, and even gave us Häagen-Dazs ice cream. The cleanliness was also very satisfying; they cleaned daily and replenished daily necessities. All in all, I was very pleased with every aspect!

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!
