If I didn’t have a Chinese wife, I’d never have found this place. It’s like a hidden gem in the Southwest part of China. It’s a hotel with bungalows and houses spread out over a sprawling tract of land in a valley with small mountains all around. Make your way to Shuanghe Village in Suiyang County in the city of Zunyi. The province is Guizhou. There is an extensive network of caves all over and one can even take lessons in cave climbing. There are some magnificent caves to walk through as well.
This Hotel is also called the Shuanghe Hotel. Its located just 300 meters from the entrance gate to the Shuanghe cave. It’s nicely furnished with all the amenities of most 4 star hotels. The theme is different in each room but everything is eco-minded. Good hot water, bedding etc. It’s best described as rustic. No refrigerator or in-room safe.
Waking up you’ll see the clouds and hear loud birds and insects. There are trails all over as well to explore. A place like this would be hundreds of dollars per night in the states. Here, it’s a little over $100. Breakfast is included.
It’s a trek to get out here but worth it if you love a secluded mountain retreat. We took a high speed train from Guiyang to Zunyi. Then hired a private car to the resort - a 2 hour ride. 240rmb
The dining area cooks typical Chinese food. Being a veggie, I ordered Broccoli, tofu and cucumbers. It was a little too oily but they got it right after a day.
