Not that I can't afford to live in a star hotel on the mountain, but this one is more cost-effective as a fake homestay.
The first phase of the Jiuhua Mountain pilgrimage to burn incense tour chose this Fanchen B&B this time. First, the price increase of star hotels is large on weekends; second, this is a family with moderate prices and opening hours in Trip.com ”Yipin B&B”, complete facilities and services (with floor heating, including mountain pick-up service).
On the morning of the check-in day, I received a call from the housekeeper, informing the traffic control situation and inquiring about the arrival time of the mountain, and agreed to pick us up at the ”Yingxianqiao Station” after getting off the bus. The store's car has obvious signs and is eye-catching. Arrived at the store to check in after a smooth connection with the housekeeper. The homestay is divided into two, equipped with a public tea table for a cup of drink, a sofa reading area, a terrace area for the futuan, a terrace area for exquisite care, a restaurant, etc.
The ”mountain misty rain view bed room” on the second floor of the room, about 25 square meters, the room uses light and elegant monochrome, rattan furniture, cloud wall lamps, camping lamps all increase the atmosphere, have a special feeling of integration with the scenery. The regional division is reasonable, the tea table is set against the window, and the view is clear. We are particularly satisfied with the tea-loving homestay Fujian boss in the room. The special sandalwood osmanthus black tea and intimate kung fu cup are enough and the operation is warm. The smart button next to the bed opens the curtains with one button. You can open the morning sun and sunset without getting out of bed. The distant Shandai has a panoramic view in a window. You can feel it in the video I took at hand. The air conditioner on the mountain is warm and warm, and it is also intimately equipped with a humidifier. After moving in, I felt the store's control of some hardware facilities details. For example, using double-glazed windows on the mountains with a huge temperature difference can both prevent moisture and strengthen sound insulation. The bathroom is divided into a relatively large sink area, a smart toilet partition, a glass shower room (with a ventilation window), and a good privacy of dry and wet separation. It is also very comfortable to watch TV on the back of the 1 meter eight-bed soft bed. Sleeping on latex mattresses, down pillows and latex pillows at night and the bedding is still high and smooth. 🛏 I think the mattress is slightly softer when I sleep, but my wife feels just right. Later, I stayed for another night and changed the room to the next door. I asked the ”Cuiyu Lanshan” bathtub terrace room. The two rooms are about the same size. Cuiyu Lanshan is more resort-style. There is a terrace with a better view. The room is also equipped with a small refrigerator. The TV has become a screen TV, but the sink is not as big as ”mountain misty rain”.
I used dinner at the hotel and ordered a simple meal of two dishes and one soup. The farmhouse fried meat is 48 yuan, the meat eggplant is 38 yuan, the tomato egg soup is 18 yuan, and a bowl of rice is added. The amount of dishes is OK, the seasoning is right, especially the small fried meat is delicious. During the dishes, we had two cups of Jiuhua Buddha tea for us to drink. The only drawback is that the only private room in the off-season homestay is used by other guests, and the restaurant does not turn on the air conditioner. It is necessary to wear clothes and eat fully armed, and the winter dishes are cold fast, so you must speed up the meal. Trip.com The reservation includes two breakfasts, freshly cooked egg noodles, and there is no additional charge for adding a poached egg.
The 300-meter walk up of Fanchen is the west gate of the ”Body of the Body”. The entrance from the west gate is not so demanding for physical strength. The 99 steps can be changed from climbing up to the route to the ”Di Tibetan Temple”. Go to the ”Tiantai” cableway bus stop and walk 80 meters.
The service of Fanchen B&B is more grounded, there is no slogan of bold words, but the down-to-earth pick-up and drop-off, take the initiative to pick up the luggage, drink tea and fruit, and communicate as much as possible to meet the needs of the room.
I think this homestay can be used as a supplement to the hotel. The hotel is well equipped with public facilities, buffet breakfast, air conditioning in the whole area, close to the ”Yulin” - ”Huacheng Temple” - ”Gion Temple” - Baisui Palace Cableway, and there is a home to send ”Baisui Palace Joint 100-Year-Old Bowl” souvenir, but after all, it has been open for too long. The facilities are a bit old, there will be carpet smell, and some rooms are not hot. Fanchen is good at the weekend with a small price increase, cost-effective, convenient pick-up service, affordable dining, diverse room style and tea scenery.
