Arctic MONI Homestay [Cute] 👍Most Recommended: This is the most photogenic homestay I've ever stayed at! It also offers the best value for money, the friendliest host service, and is super close to the scenic area! The most satisfying part of my Chenzhou trip! 🌟Location: Just 300+ meters walk from Dongjiang Lake - Little East River, incredibly close! Surrounded by many delicious restaurants and specialty shops! Nestled between mountains and water with fresh air! 🏨Homestay Environment: Rumor has it the owner spent a fortune hiring Chenzhou's best designer to create this "designer homestay" [100]. As you can see from my photos, the ambiance perfectly matches its name, with fragrant and tidy rooms. [DoubleHearts]There's a swimming pool and transparent boat in the basement - guaranteed great shots (P2/P3)! [DoubleHearts]Plus a super stylish black sofa and fireplace (P1) - instantly feel like a little princess! [DoubleHearts]Mini garden, polar bear, artistic walls, audio-visual space, table football, small bar... every detail is worth experiencing! ❤5-Star Service⭐: The host's service is beyond words - truly "just bring your bag and stay"! The host takes care of everything, including personally delivering your luggage to the room. Five-star service at this price point [ThumbsUp] 🚉Transport Tips: Only 50min from Chenzhou West Station. After visiting Yangtian Lake the previous day, head straight to Little East River. It's also very close to attractions like Gao Yi Ridge and Bai Lang. 🍽Dining Recommendations: So many delicious options nearby! Especially Dongjiang specialties like upturned-mouth fish, tied duck, and salmon - all must-tries! [One]Yi Hu Liang An: Salmon and tied duck! Haven't tried others yet but all delicious! [Two]Xiao Zi Wei: Great value, featuring local Dongjiang cured meat and fish specialties! Finally, I'll definitely come back next time - bringing my parents too! [Tiptop]
