Travel Tips

If you’re visiting during peak season (weekends, national holidays, and winter hot spring season from November to February), book your room at least two weeks in advance to secure availability. Since the hotel has self-catering facilities, stop at the local convenience store or market near the hotel on your arrival to stock up on snacks and drinks. Bring water shoes if you plan to visit Wufengqi Waterfall, as the rocky trails around the swimming holes can get slippery. Finally, take advantage of your private in-room tub—fill it up with Jiaoxi’s mineral-rich hot spring water for a relaxing late-night soak after a day of sightseeing.
