Our stay at Jijiehao Inn felt like a warm embrace from start to finish, all thanks to the incredible hospitality of Wen Shu & Emer! They didn't just host us, they made us feel like old friends visiting. From ensuring our room was cozy and clean to sharing local tips and stories, their down to earth approach created an atmosphere that was more than just a place to stay—it was a home away from home. The personal connection we formed with them turned a simple accommodation into a wonderful journey filled with laughter, shared moments, and a genuine sense of care. It's not often you find hosts who go the extra mile to make your stay not just comfortable but truly memorable. They really went out of their way to help us, even advising where to go for vegan food and cooking is a delicious vegan breakfast! It's hard to pinpoint anything negative about our stay. The location was a short stroll from the town center, making it easy to explore local shops and restaurants. Being within short driving distance of Baofeng Lake, Grand Canyon, Glass Bridge, and the National Park was a definite plus. They helped us in getting discounted tickets too, which made everything hassle free and budget friendly!

Offering free bikes and a hand-drawn map of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Zhangjiajie April Inn is located in Wulingyuan, just 500 metres away from the lush Zhangjiajie National Park. Free WiFi access is available in all areas. It features a shared kitchen, a garden and a sun terrace.

It has a perfect location, basically 300m from the entrance of the national park and very close to good restaurants. The included breakfast was daily fresh made by the owners (although unusual for us - a very good soup with spicy pork dumplings). The owners are very helpful with booking tickets (they even have a discount compared to the internet). It has nice bathrooms.

At the accommodation all rooms include bed linen and towels.

Amazing hospitality and hosts - cozy room. If you are out late (past midnight) you need to let the hosts know to let you back in but they are very accommodating

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Awesome place! The hostel lies quietly hidden among tea fields within the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, yet 5 min walking from the nearest bus stop. The hosts are super friendly and give great suggestions on routes to avoid the masses and make the best of your time. They serve extremely delicious local breakfast and dinner. The rooms are not luxurious, but perfectly fine, clean and well equipped. I would definitely visit again!

    The owner was super helpful and friendly, he helped me with everything and gave me a lot of tips since this was my first stop in China. He speaks english. You can book every tour there. The hostel is close to the airport and to the bus station. Basic facility but very cheap. Good place to meet people.

    I had an incredible stay here, it was perfect for my visit to Zhangjiajie! The place is in a great location to be able to access the National Park and the Glass Bridge Grand Canyon nearby. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and contain everything you need. The neighbourhood was quiet and was very safe. Our host, Rebecca, is very welcoming and makes you feel right at home. She helped us with so much, such as booking tickets, suggesting an itinerary and providing tips, arranging transportation and getting breakfast, and goes above and beyond!
