    The room is very tidy, with many small designs. The mix and match of traditional Guanzhong homestay items and modern minimalist design is refreshing. The room facilities are complete and everything is available. As I didn't do any strategy before coming, the store provided thoughtful suggestions and planned my itinerary. There are electric blankets, thick blankets, disposable toilet cushions, and very detailed information. All of them are original pictures without filters, which basically match what I see. I am satisfied~

It sort of feels like a home stay and seems to draw lovely people, mostly foreigners who are familiar with the place already. The staff helped me book activities and even got me a refund when I missed a show. Really amazing staff!! The food offered from the menu is simple, good and well priced.
