#Yeshan Garden Hotel (Chongming Forest Park) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Hidden in Chongming Island, the private hot spring homestay—A Japanese-style paradise
Yeshan Garden is a homestay I've been longing to visit for several years. Although it has been open for five or six years, it's still quite difficult to book on weekends and holidays. Despite the average surrounding architectural environment, the tranquil and gentle atmosphere of the buildings and courtyard is still pleasantly surprising.
🌸: We stayed in phase one. Although the courtyard of phase two is more artistic, I personally prefer the architectural style of the houses in phase one.
🛎 There are complimentary Daifuku and fruits, not just on the day of check-in, but delivered to the room every evening!
🛎 Each room has a large indoor bath, with a small garden view outside the window. It's big enough for two people to soak together, and the bath salts are from Kao, provided daily. If you like, you can also buy them from the housekeeper, but they are all in bulk.
🛎 Compared to other tatami hotels I've stayed at before, the tatami here is not the very soft kind, and it's especially comfortable for both the elderly and children.
🛎 The rooms have special day and night curtain designs, which are particularly friendly to sensitive people, and really conducive to good sleep!
🌸: A small dining room that can accommodate at most two or three families dining together.
🛎 To avoid crowding, the homestay offers breakfast delivery to the room.
🛎 Lunch and dinner need to be reserved with the housekeeper, including wontons and eel rice. The prices are moderate, and the eel rice tastes good, but personally, I think the Chongming big wontons are even more delicious, highly recommended!
🌸 The stove in the backyard of phase one, and the rabbits in the pet park.
🛎 In winter, there are roasted corn and baked sweet potatoes every night, with a fire going until eight o'clock, self-service, and unlimited! All are particularly tasty!
🛎 There is a pet park and a single-plank bridge among other activities that children love, especially the two rabbits that are very lively and friendly.
🌸 Coming out of the automatic gate of phase one, you face phase two. Phase two has indoor and outdoor tea rooms, as well as a place for copying scriptures, where you can enjoy watching koi fish, and children can also play with Lego in the small gym.
🔍 There is a fenced-off space next to the homestay specifically for parking. When the sound of vehicles is heard, a housekeeper will come out to greet the guests and help with luggage.
🔍 The homestay offers butler service, provided by a quiet and handsome young man. He replies to messages on WeChat super fast, and is gentle with any request.

When visiting Chongming, you must stay at the affordable garden hotel
Shanghai Yeshan Garden Hotel (Chongming Forest Park Branch) ||🏡 The hotel fully embodies Japanese aesthetics, not a clumsy imitation, but a display of the owner's attention to detail. The rooms are clean and tidy, making it one of the few hotels in Chongming with good value for money and service. The entire stay experience is very good, the butler is friendly but not overly attentive, and everything about this hotel is just right.
Recommended rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
🏨 The hotel is located next to the Chongming Dongping National Forest, surrounded by many farmhouses, making dining and entertainment very convenient. The hotel itself is a scenic spot, with a Japanese garden style that offers a view at every step, and a few leisurely cats running around.
👨 The butler will call in advance to confirm the details of your stay, and when checking in, will introduce the hotel services and facilities in detail, provide disposable toothbrushes, and thoughtfully help carry luggage to the room, lifting it over uneven ground rather than dragging it to avoid damaging the wheels. The annex building is newer than the main building, with a scripture copying room and a gym, which includes a small amount of children's Lego. Extra care should be taken when children are playing, as the fitness equipment is in the same room, and treadmills can be dangerous for children.
🪜 My room was on the third floor of the annex building; the hotel does not have an elevator, so those who have difficulty with stairs should contact the hotel in advance to request a lower floor. The main courtyard's grill roasts foods like blood corn and sweet potatoes daily, and the butler will notify you via WeChat once they're ready.
🪟 Although it's a homestay, the soundproofing is very good, and the curtains block out all light, making for a very comfortable sleep in a quiet, dark environment.
🛏️ The room layout is all in Japanese style, and extra beds can be added in the living room of the tatami rooms. The toiletries all match the hotel's style and use Japanese brands, and instead of following trends with a Dyson hairdryer, even the kettle is made in Japan. The washroom and bathroom are separated at opposite ends of the room, not interfering with simultaneous use. The bathroom is equipped with a small chair, convenient for bathing children.
🥣 Breakfast can be eaten in the public area of the lobby or can be delivered to the room at a scheduled time with the butler. There is a wide variety of dishes packed in Japanese-style boxes, and although each portion is not large, the variety is plentiful, making it hard for one person to finish. The food and drinks in the room's fridge are free, including beer.
⚠️ Be sure to confirm the number of diners with the butler the day before, as the hotel prepares breakfast based on the number of guests and does not have extra backups. There will be a children's meal for kids.
🎠 There are not many parent-child experiences in the hotel, but it is not positioned as a family hotel, yet children can still run around the rooms without shoes and have a great time.
🌄 I checked in at dusk and enjoyed a beautiful sunset from the window sill. After nightfall, you can see the stars, and although it's not as impressive as the night sky over the grasslands and deserts, it's definitely better than the city view.

I encountered the sea of clouds and sunset on Chongming Island, a guide to must-visit and avoid places!
Chongming Island, here I come! 🌄✨ The experience on the first day was absolutely fulfilling! However, the places I visited on the second day were not as worthwhile, so today I'm writing a guide on must-visit and avoid places for your reference! 💡💥
1⃣🌄Ding Dam🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We chose Liulangang Fisherman's Village, didn't go to the one in Baozhen, afraid of the crowd. Followed the guide and came here. Highly recommend visiting at sunset, it's super beautiful! 😍🌅
2⃣Yeshan Garden Hotel🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I even wrote a post specifically for this hotel! You can enjoy the beauty of the Japanese courtyard without leaving the hotel, and the service is also super good, really recommend it! 🏡🌸👌
3⃣Ice Cream Doll🌟
We went to the Sci-fi Forest Elf Island and found the Ice Cream Doll. This place is a bit off the beaten track, and besides the Ice Cream Doll, there's not much else. And the Ice Cream Doll looks quite cute online, but it's a bit creepy in reality. Originally went there to take pictures of the wind turbines, but ended up seeing the wind turbines but couldn't find a good photo spot. This check-in was not very successful. 😕🍦🌳
4⃣Sea Rose Hot Spring🌟🌟🌟
We came to the Sea Rose Hot Spring in Qianwei Village, Shuxin Town, Weijiu Road with great expectations. There were very few people, it felt like we had booked the whole place. Unfortunately, only a few outdoor hot springs were open, and they were mainly cold springs, with some leaves floating on top. The price was okay, the service was also okay, but I don't think I will go again. 😐🌊🌹
5⃣Mom's Workshop🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This restaurant is really delicious! Every dish we ordered was highly praised, no disappointments at all. And they also gave us Chongming cake, and the boss even gave us extra Chongming eggs! Next time I come to Chongming Island, I will definitely come here to eat again! 🍽👨🍳👍
