Wu Lingyuan, Zhangjiajie

Staff at the 24-hour front desk can assist with luggage storage. The hostel also provides tour and ticketing services. Guests can rent cars or barbecue facilities from the hostel. There is also a shared lounge where guests can watch TV. 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!
