I often travel from Hong Kong to Shenzhen by myself, and this time I decided to try a B&B near Meisha. While not cheap, it offers excellent value for money.
**Environment:** I stayed in a room on the first floor (the B&B has three floors in total). Looking out the window, it felt like I was nestled right in the forest. The room's height was perfectly aligned with the tree branches and leaves, without being above the treetops, creating a unique and relaxing treehouse-like atmosphere within the woods. Next time, I might try a room on the third floor; the view would likely be above the trees and offer a different perspective. The B&B is located on a hill but is actually quite close to Dameisha, making taxi travel very convenient. Compared to other B&Bs near Overseas Chinese Town East, Hanzhigu is the closest to Dameisha while still providing a natural setting, which is a big plus for guests without a car.
**Room:** Compared to other B&Bs and hotels I've stayed in, this particular room ("Mushi" room type) wasn't exceptionally large, but I'd describe it as slightly above average. The B&B also offers other larger room types, but these often include outdoor spaces like inner courtyards. I prefer indoor space, so those types didn't particularly appeal to me. However, for those who enjoy outdoor bathing or courtyards, those rooms would likely feel spacious enough. The bathtub (a Japanese-style soaking tub) is located by the window, offering a great view. This room type also includes a small, cozy balcony. What truly impressed me was how well-maintained the room was; it looked brand new. I stayed for three nights, and there wasn't a single spot that seemed neglected. The room's interior truly met hotel standards (not just B&B standards); if you only saw the inside, you might think it was a hotel room in Futian! Also, I saw other reviews mentioning bugs: I didn't encounter any bugs inside the room during my stay, though it's natural to find them on the balcony. It's worth noting that many hotels and B&Bs in Shenzhen now offer rooms with soaking tubs, but some are poorly designed, feeling like a bathtub was forced into the room, creating an odd sense of incongruity. Hanzhigu's rooms, however, are impeccably designed with no such issues.
**Food:** The B&B includes daily breakfast, afternoon tea, and hot milk in the evening. Both breakfast and afternoon tea offer a good variety of food categories. For breakfast, for example, there's fruit, hot porridge, eggs, bacon, vegetables, and more. While not gourmet ingredients, for no extra charge, it's quite good. Afternoon tea consists of a dessert, a cookie, fruit, and a drink, which is also lovely. Dinner can be ordered for an additional charge. Over my three days, I tried the coconut chicken, sauerkraut fish, and pizza set. The dinner portions are generous, and the hot pot set also includes a wide variety of items. In terms of taste, I preferred the pizza set and the sauerkraut fish (even though I don't eat spicy food, I must admit the mildly spicy sauerkraut fish was delicious). As for the coconut chicken, it was my first time trying it, and I'm still not sure why coconut is used as the soup base, haha. Personally, I'm more accustomed to pork bone broth. But that's just my personal preference. However, it's worth highlighting that the B&B staff will try their best to adjust the meals to your taste, as dinners are pre-ordered. For instance, I requested mild spice and more vegetables, and they accommodated my requests. Very thoughtful.
**Service:** Hanzhigu offers butler-style service. Compared to other B&Bs that also claim "butler service," Hanzhigu's service is truly outstanding. The butlers are always smiling, respond quickly, and genuinely try to help guests solve problems. A special commendation goes to their respect for guests' privacy, which is very important to me. Guests coming to a mountain B&B like this are often looking to relax and unwind, so peace and quiet are crucial, and Hanzhigu's butlers handle this perfectly. For example, the front desk primarily contacts you via WeChat, allowing me to respond at my convenience (some other B&Bs knock on the door). When delivering meals, they always ask before entering the room.
Finally, I want to share something specific: before booking, I was undecided on which room type to choose (each has its unique features), so I contacted the B&B through another domestic platform. Firstly, Hanzhigu allows online consultations on that platform, which I haven't seen many other hotels or B&Bs in Shenzhen offer, and their responses were very prompt. Secondly, they genuinely analyzed the pros and cons of different room types from a guest's perspective, instead of aggressively pushing the most expensive option, which was excellent.
It was a wonderful experience, I will definitely come back, and I highly recommend it to everyone!
