Xitang Muguang Qiyin Homestay

A bit difficult to locate if you don't use Baidu maps, and can't speak Chinese to ask for directions. But location is great, as it's inside the scenic area (which means you need to pay an additional 95RMB, the gate fee to enter the scenic area if you arrive before 5pm. After 5pm is free and once you're in, you can roam around for free for the entirety of your trip.) Back to the hotel, I initially thought I'd have a view of the river, but was disappointed when I found out my room didn't have that. But still enjoyed the bathtub and the little courtyard. Nice host and cleaners, lots of places to eat and drink close by.

In the next "Mission Impossible" movie, the mission will be to find this hotel. It is nowhere near the spot that appears in the map and there are no signs (not even if you stand in front of it) to guide you. The only thing that was clean was the bedding. Average space in the room. Location is inside the ancient town of Xitang. I don't need to say that staff cannot speak English (it's a rarity in China).
