Linzhou | Not Far • Taihang Resort Homestay

| Not Far • Taihang Resort Homestay. For someone who loves staying in hotels, often going to a place just for a hotel If you like Hangzhou Xishang Hupao 1934, you will also like this one. Both are Chinese-style hotels nestled in the mountains and by the water. However, I certainly prefer Taihang Mountain. Here are some recommendations: First, the service 🎩 The service is responsive and warm-hearted. I think it embodies a more human-centered spirit compared to the standardized services of many big-brand hotels. Moreover, it maintains a sense of propriety without being excessive 👍. Service is hard to standardize, and here you can see the dedication of the owner and the operation team. Second, the design 📎 You can see from the pictures that it is a new Chinese style that I really like. Initially, I paid for a basic room type, planning to upgrade on-site after seeing it. Because I wasn't sure which one I liked the most, I didn't expect that the hotel would upgrade my room directly after I booked (I recommend the Huiying room type, the second floor gives you a closer view of the mountains). Third, the dining 🍽 At first, I was worried about the food because the nearby town is still a traditional tourist area, and I was afraid the food wouldn't be good. Unexpectedly, the hotel solved this very well. Not only are meals included, but the quality is also very high, comparable to Michelin ⭐️ standards. They also change the menu according to the season, so you won't have the same meal for at least three days. The ingredients are either home-grown or delivered daily from Zhengzhou. I ate until I was full every day. I also ordered a few kinds of wine, which were very good. I even got hooked on the old pine plum wine and ordered it online when I got back. Fourth, the amenities 📦 I hadn't heard of the niche brands, but the experience was quite good. There was a plant-like fragrance that I really liked. The comb and toothbrush were also very comfortable. The eco-friendly ♻️ design of the toothbrush allows you to take it with you for multiple uses, which is great 👍. Fifth, the surrounding facilities ❇️ First of all, the hotel has built a vegetable garden 🥕 and a flower garden 💐 on the back hill, where you can experience the fun of the countryside. It also has a café ☕️ where you can enjoy the mountain view on rainy days, which is very atmospheric. I also ordered a pizza 🍕, which was delicious and had a thin crust that I like. I wrote this quite simply; there are more surprises that you will only know when you go. I recommend it to people who love staying in hotels. Even if you usually stay in functional hotels, friends experiencing a resort hotel for the first time will also find it "worth every penny"❗️
