Antu Hotels with Breakfast

"Let's start with the downsides: 1. There was a constant buzzing sound at night, which was a bit noisy. Just before checking out, I realized it was the refrigerator in the cabinet. 2. The shower didn't have a handheld showerhead, which was quite inconvenient. Now for the good points: 1. The location is good, about a 20-minute walk from the transit center. 2. It's also relatively close to restaurants in town and parks. If you don't mind walking, everything is accessible on foot, and shared e-scooters are also available. 3. The room environment was decent, and the bedding wasn't the traditional stark white, which actually looked quite comfortable. 4. The hotel offers a pick-up service; you just need to call and book it a day in advance."

"I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Changbaishan Hot Spring Hotel from August 25th to 27th. ✅ **Transportation:** Took the high-speed train from Shenyang Station to Changbaishan Station, departing at 09:30 and arriving around 12:00. 🏨 **Accommodation | Crowne Plaza Changbaishan Hot Spring Hotel:** The hotel provides a shuttle bus service from the high-speed rail station. The journey takes approximately 40 minutes, with stops at Hilton → Blue Sky (Lan Jing) → Crowne Plaza. The hotel is situated halfway up the mountain, right next to the North Gate of Changbaishan Scenic Area. It's only a few minutes' walk to the scenic area entrance, making its location exceptionally advantageous. 🍚 **Lunch:** There are hardly any shops nearby, so we had lunch directly at the hotel. The prices were reasonable. 🍚 **Dinner:** Not far from the hotel, there's a forest farm with a 'farmhouse iron pot stew' restaurant. If you book a meal, the restaurant arranges transportation. We ordered free-range chicken stewed with hazelnuts. The owner also recommended 'Feilong' (Hazel Grouse) and 'Linwa' (Forest Frog). 'Feilong' is indeed the Hazel Grouse, and it's said that the 'flying dragon' in the saying 'flying dragon in the sky, donkey meat on the ground' refers to this bird. 🎡 **Activities:** **Pet Paradise:** An open-air enclosure with rabbits, sika deer, alpacas, white ferrets, and sable. You can get up close to pet, feed, and take photos with them. **Blue Sky (Lan Jing) Primitive Forest Loop Trail:** Just across the road, it's quiet with few people. Along the way, you can see fallen ancient trees and wild fungi on the trees. The air is fresh, and the atmosphere is very immersive. After completing the loop, we returned to the hotel to rest. **Julong Volcanic Hot Springs:** Both Crowne Plaza and Blue Sky have Julong Volcanic Hot Springs, but you can't use the springs at the other hotel. We changed into our swimsuits, robes, and slippers in our room, then went downstairs and turned left to find the hot spring pools. Staying at the Crowne Plaza offers unlimited access to the hot springs. If you're not staying, a hot spring ticket costs over two hundred yuan per person. So, just for the hot spring tickets, it would have cost our family of three six to seven hundred yuan. The Crowne Plaza has many outdoor pools, with water temperatures ranging from 39 to 42 degrees Celsius. The hot spring water has no particular smell but leaves your skin feeling smooth. Surrounded by the forest, with fresh air, soaking for fifteen to twenty minutes makes you sweat. Then, you can try another pool. There's also a small fish spa pool where you can soak your feet, and a group of small fish will come to nibble at your feet, which is both ticklish and fun. **Butler Service:** Our butler, Yueyue, provided five-star service! From arranging the shuttle bus before check-in to confirming breakfast and various entitlements upon arrival, and offering thoughtful itinerary reminders, her service truly made our stay at the Crowne Plaza excellent value for money."

"The actual hotel looks nothing like the pictures online; those are heavily photoshopped to look clean. In reality, the surrounding shops and parked cars outside are a messy sight. The 'hot spring' is just a few pools on the rooftop, and when I went, two of them were being drained, with two or three men and boys already soaking in the others. The hotel breakfast offered very little variety, just enough to fill you up, so don't expect much. The only upside is its proximity to Genting Market and Endou Valley. Erdaobaihe Town itself is quite beautiful, and I visited on the hottest day of the year."

"The Changbai Mountain Shuyuan Tianchi Hotel absolutely deserves a five-star rating! The new Chinese-style courtyard environment is tranquil, surrounded by pine forests. You can even feed deer within the courtyard, making it a great spot for photos. The rooms are brand new and spotless, fully equipped with amenities like underfloor heating and humidifiers, providing an excellent stay. Butler Xiaoyu from the Shuyuan offers attentive and thoughtful service, including station transfers, making transportation very convenient. It's also very close to the North Scenic Area. The overall experience was superb, and I highly recommend it!"

"The air is fresh, and the hotel environment is comfortable. The convenient mountain trail makes it feel like the entrance to the Old Mountain Gate is just a few steps from the hotel. A hotel car picked us up after we came down the mountain. Oh, and on the bus from the high-speed rail station back to the hotel, it was just our family – that kind of service was amazing! The real volcanic hot springs were a hit with both kids, especially the fish pond. The butler service was almost perfect; they went out of their way to help me with problems and various requests. We also tried all the experiences the hotel offered. If you don't want to experience the hustle and bustle of the town, are going up to see Tianchi Lake with kids and want to avoid hassle, and your budget allows, I'd say go for it without hesitation."

"Choosing this hotel for our trip was such a great decision! Overall, the experience was fantastic. The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was just the right firmness for a great night's sleep. The staff were very friendly and patiently helped us with any issues we had. The surrounding area is super convenient for getting around and shopping, yet it's still quiet and not noisy, allowing for a truly relaxing stay. The value for money is excellent, definitely worth a five-star recommendation. We'll be back next time! Thumbs up! Thumbs up!"

"This hotel, which opened 26 years ago, has a very Japanese-style interior. It's owned by the same proprietor as the Doraku Hotel. There's a public hot spring bath, and I specifically asked the staff who said the hot spring water is transported here by vehicle. You can tell the owner's meticulous attention to detail from the in-room amenities and items in the public hot spring area – all top-tier brands. The complimentary amenity kit and toiletries exceeded my expectations. The hotel is designed to mimic a Japanese garden, similar to Kyoto, and there are no elevators inside. If your room is on the second or third floor, you'll need to climb stairs, but the front desk staff will help carry your luggage to your room. Upon checkout, they'll also assist with bringing your luggage down to the parking lot if needed. Overall, it's a hotel that offers a fantastic experience."

"This trip to Changbai Mountain chose Xiyueli, which completely exceeded expectations. The overall decoration is a healing wind, the Nanfa Garden is particularly beautiful, and it is a blockbuster film. At night, the courtyard lights are on, and the night view atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The public area is really pleasantly surprised. The coffee machine can drink coffee at any time. There are all video games, fitness, and book corners, and the artistic atmosphere is strong. It is suitable for reading in a daze or having fun with friends. Away from the impetuous city, relax here for a holiday, stay in full marks, come to Changbai Mountain is highly recommended!"

"1. Food is paramount, and the breakfast here is delicious. It's not overly luxurious, but it has everything you need. The side dishes are great, the soy milk is tasty, and there's a small crispy pastry that an elder in our group said tasted like old Northeast China – they ate three of them! 😂 2. The location is within walking distance of the distribution center, and there are many dining options nearby. There's a BBQ place with pretty good food. The area is very safe, if you know what I mean. 3. The staff are very friendly. My room had a bathtub, which I hadn't seen in the pictures, so I didn't bring anything for a bath – a bit of a shame! The air conditioning was powerful. This room could easily sleep seven people; we only used less than half of the upstairs tatami area. The kids could roll around in bed without fear of falling off. 4. The guy who picked us up from the station was very chatty and gave us a lot of useful tips!"

"Erdaobaihe Town is about 2 kilometers away from the bustling downtown area with many restaurants, making it convenient to get to Enduoli and Yunding Market. Food delivery is also easy to order, with robots delivering right to your door. Mermaid Pine Park is just across the street. The room facilities and decor are quite good, and the hygiene is excellent. The breakfast looks abundant, but in reality, the variety isn't particularly wide, though the taste is decent. A highlight of the hotel is its hot springs. Besides being free for guests, they also welcome external visitors, so there's a fair amount of foot traffic. The hot springs feature indoor pools on the first and second floors. On the third or fourth floor (I can't recall which), there are many saunas and various themed relaxation rooms, including stone, mugwort, and traditional Chinese medicine saunas with different temperatures. The fifth floor has an outdoor swimming pool area. The management is quite mature; the whole process of getting a hand tag, changing shoes, changing clothes, and returning the tag is very smooth and convenient. Visually, the hygiene also seems good. There are several attentive aunties in the changing rooms who actively guide you. There are small spin dryers in the changing rooms, which are handy. If you rinse your swimsuit and use the dryer, it will dry much faster. Overall, the experience was very good. If you choose to stay in Erdaobaihe, this place offers good facilities and hot springs to enjoy."
