The owner had informed us beforehand that Didi (ride-hailing service) wasn't available here. So, after arriving at Fenghuang High-Speed Railway Station, we planned to take a taxi to the guesthouse. However, we waited for half an hour and no taxis came. Finally, one arrived, but the driver refused to take us, only wanting to pick up individual passengers for carpooling to earn four times the fare. We had no choice but to take a shuttle bus and then walk. The main issue was that we had a lot of luggage, and dragging suitcases was really cumbersome, leaving us drenched in sweat.
The river view from this hotel is indeed nice, and the room facilities are quite good. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes by the river in summer, so if you want to enjoy the river view from the balcony, you need to take mosquito repellent measures. Rooms facing the street can hear people talking outside at night. After it rained, the Tuojiang River flooded, and the river water was muddy and yellow for photos, which wasn't pretty. We didn't check the weather this time; rainy days aren't ideal for visiting the ancient town. I still recommend coming on a sunny day for sightseeing and photos.
The owner's service was excellent; they promptly helped us resolve some minor issues we had during our stay. When we left, they arranged a car to take us to the high-speed railway station, preventing us from encountering another taxi refusal. The guesthouse also has a large white cat that is very friendly and adorable.
