Hotel near Ancient City Tourist Cultural Area,Datong
The Optimistic Perspective: the culmination of a journey, the farthest reach of vision, and the profound comprehension of thought. Nestled within the ancient city of northern China, Grand Zen Hotel revives its essence while embracing optimism. Adhering to a minimalist Zen aesthetic with "simplicity" as its core design principle, the hotel seamlessly integrates natural and modern elements, reflecting a sincere appreciation for life and interpreting a tranquil Zen-inspired space.
Located in Datong, an ancient city once known as "the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty and a significant stronghold during the Ming and Qing Dynasties," Grand Zen Hotel bridges the past and present, harmonizing with the frontier customs and showcasing the allure of this historic capital. Upon entering the lobby, guests are greeted by an elegant and refined ambiance. The serene Chinese character wall, sunken leisure sofas, circular column lamps embedded into the walls, and soft lighting illuminating the textured surfaces create a naturally inviting atmosphere. Whether it is the morning sunlight or evening glow, a breezy sunny day or a gentle drizzle, each moment immerses visitors in the interplay of time and scenery, evoking a sense of peace and tranquility.
The majestic ancient city wall, rippling moat, and picturesque ribbon-shaped park coexist harmoniously with the diverse temples, churches, pavilions, archways, and quadrangle courtyards within the city, forming a breathtaking panorama. Morning light filters through the skylight, dancing across plush beds, while warm floor lamps quietly stand beside the corridor grilles, reminiscent of an old friend's care. The strategically placed greenery within the water system softens the entire space, creating an atmosphere of serenity and poetic beauty, akin to the flowing sleeves of a scholar in the wind.
With 70 exquisitely designed guest rooms, zero-pressure mattresses for ultimate comfort, invigorating bathing facilities, and luxurious bed linens comparable to those of five-star hotels, all complemented by soft lighting, the hotel exemplifies meticulous attention to detail. Every aspect ensures comfort and warmth, offering guests a perfect retreat. From their rooms, guests can admire the sunset and starry skies, or indulge in leisurely moments of reading, tea-drinking, basking in the sun, and daydreaming—a true embodiment of the slow-paced lifestyle characteristic of the ancient capital.
In the flow of time, one learns to embrace stillness and wisdom. Clarity about the world leads to clarity about oneself. In a fleeting moment, enlightenment may strike, revealing the clarity and serenity of moonlight on cold water. Even if brief, such moments are eternal. Despite the world's distractions and chaos, as long as the Zen spirit endures, the heart remains serene, and enlightenment is naturally attained.
"The hotel boasts a superb location, right next to the ancient city. The rooms, though small, are fully equipped. A shared washing machine is available.
The layout matches the hotel's name, with a touch of Zen.
The front desk staff are welcoming, and a small gift is given upon check-out.
Special praise goes to the breakfast chef on the basement level; his cooking is superb, his attitude is exceptionally warm, and his communication skills are excellent. Very good.
The hotel offers great value for money and adds to the reputation of Datong Cultural Tourism."

We serve a daily authentic Shanxi-style homemade breakfast, including millet porridge, freshly steamed flower rolls, and seasonal side dishes, all freshly prepared. The owner's family is warm and hospitable, offering attentive care from station transfers to sightseeing route planning, ensuring you feel the warmth of home.
"We had a fantastic stay here, largely thanks to the incredibly helpful and kind host. The hotel is housed in a 300-year-old building, giving you a beautiful, authentic experience of ancient China, but the interior is fully updated and very calm.
Arrival and Service: The host is highly organized. They arranged a free shuttle to pick us up the moment we stepped out of the Pingyao Gucheng railway station, and provided a free drop-off when it was time to leave. Upon arrival, the host sat down with a map, clearly explained how to navigate the walled city, and gave us great advice on what to prioritize.
The Room: It looks ancient from the outside, but it is a spacious, spotlessly clean, modern hotel room on the inside. It features a large flat-screen TV and a smart voice-control system for the lights. The bathroom was immaculate and entirely modern, complete with an excellent shower and a heated toilet seat. I cannot believe they provide a room of this quality for such an affordable price. It is truly worth it.
Location & Breakfast: The hotel is in a very convenient spot inside the Pingyao city walls, just a 10-minute walk to the evening light show. Breakfast is included. Rather than a standard buffet, they serve a nice traditional set meal featuring millet porridge (xiaomi), fried vegetables, and eggs (see my uploaded pictures).
I highly recommend this place if you want top-tier hospitality and a clean, comfortable blend of ancient atmosphere and modern convenience."

Guest UserIt was just an absolutely amazing experience from the very beginning and until the very end of our stay, not even just in the hotel, but in the city of Pingyao itself in general. Me and my friend are traveling very light and without guides, and in Pingyao we had only one day: from evening to evening of the next day. Huge huge thanks to everyone who made this day unforgettable and ultimately comfortable for tired us: Alice, Helen, Fenny, Hana, and all others who was there for us.
The hotel service is simply excellent: as soon as they learned about our late arrival, they immediately offered to meet us at the railway station, which was absolutely the sweetest thing. They brought us to the city gate, met us there, and walked us to the hotel. There they gave us a map, on which they explained in great detail where everything is, what is worth paying attention to, how it is better to build the route, and what opening hours different sights have. They also helped us organize a private transfer to Shaolin Temple the next morning. It was just perfect: we got there in 15 minutes instead of one and a half hours by foot, and after our walk in the temple they met us and brought us back. Also on the evening of arrival they helped us immediately buy the ticket for visiting all attractions of the city, valid for three days. And also they advised us where to eat, and gave us a hotel discount in both places. We did not regret it even once, the food was amazingly delicious in both places!
The hotel itself is just wonderful: it really looks exactly like in the photos. You want to photograph every corner and record how the sparrows are chirping on the roof, and how two wonderful cats are meowing. The room also matches and even exceeds expectations. A huge kang bed, very comfortable. Excellent shower with everything needed. Breakfast is included in the stay: the traditional Chinese one was very tasty! Unfortunately, we did not manage to eat the egg, it was freshly boiled and still hot, but we were hurrying to Shaolin Temple by opening time. Also the hotel has a laundry service, and special thanks for that too! Washing and drying were very fast, and we got our nicely smelling clothes back already after four hours, which was critical for us, because we were leaving the same day.
We felt like we really were honored guests, and we really appreciated it, even if only for one day.

This guesthouse boasts a wonderfully elegant ambiance and a truly superb location. Stepping out, you're right on Gulou East Street, perfect for exploring, and Southeast Yi is just a few minutes' walk away. Despite its bustling street location, the guesthouse's courtyard offers surprising tranquility. We slept soundly through the night and woke up naturally, completely undisturbed.
The owner and the housekeeper were incredibly thoughtful and attentive. They were always ready to answer any questions, from before our arrival until our departure, and their responses were always very detailed. Every day, the housekeeper would kindly ask us what time we'd like breakfast the next morning, and at the agreed time, she'd even come to our room door to let us know it was ready.
I absolutely adored it!!! If I ever visit again, I would definitely choose Yishui Street.

This guesthouse has a lovely, lively atmosphere. The animals in the courtyard really bring the place to life, and their caretaker is so kind. The animals are well-behaved and adorable! The interior furnishings are very practical, and the two-story, loft-style room was a big hit with the kids. It also has a small balcony full of plants and flowers, which was perfect for drying clothes. The owner is incredibly welcoming and even brought fresh fruit every day at noon. The location is excellent too. Highly recommend!

ChenchenyangyangdedangaoayiI visited Pingyao with my 89-year-old mother, and Pusha is located on Chenghuangmiao Street, which is absolutely a prime location for accommodation within Pingyao Ancient City. It's not far from the main attractions, and just a short walk to Nanda Street, where many good restaurants are clustered. Choosing Pusha for a trip to the ancient city is definitely the right choice.
The owner was very responsible and contacted us via WeChat two days in advance to ask about our arrival time. He gave detailed instructions on where to take a taxi, and the staff even picked up and dropped off our luggage from the New East Gate, making our arrival and departure hassle-free.
The courtyard has typical Shanxi residential features. We chose a twin room, which was quite spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. My mother went back to the hotel early to rest and wanted to watch TV but couldn't figure out how to operate it. The owner, a young man, was incredibly patient. He spent over half an hour helping her and even left his own phone for her to cast TV shows. The service was truly excellent!👍

As a solo traveler, I was a little apprehensive before my trip, secretly hoping there wouldn't be any unpleasant surprises, but it turns out I worried too much. This place boasts an excellent location in Wulong Alley, with beautiful surroundings that are safe and comfortable, and fully equipped facilities. Because it's not right next to the busiest snack streets, it's very quiet at night, allowing for a truly restful sleep – huge thumbs up! It's close to the North City Wall and convenient for visiting attractions like Huayan Temple, Daiwangfu, and the Nine Dragon Screen in the ancient city. It was also easy to reach all the eateries on my must-try list, such as Longjuxiang, Zini 369, Heshengcai, and Xijindao Snacks, and I managed to check them all off! I passed by Kuixing Tower and its wishing doll countless times; perhaps it was fate, haha 😄. For those who are too lazy to even walk a kilometer, there are shared bikes available. The owner is incredibly welcoming; they contacted me half a day in advance, added me on WeChat, and waited for me at the entrance. They went over all the important details and even asked about my breakfast preferences for the next day. The breakfast itself was perfectly portioned, exquisite, and nutritious. This place exceeded my expectations, another big thumbs up! Choosing this accommodation has made me even more excited for future solo travels. I hope the owner's business thrives, and I look forward to returning with my child and family sometime in the future for another visit.

I can’t stop raving about this inn. It is a B&B style three stories tall inn located inside the Datong Ancient City. Complimentary shuttle service between the airport or railway station made it really convenient for out of town travelers. The guest room was clean and equipped with modern facilities like automatic toilets, coded entry, projection screens, etc. The inn is located near the north gate of the city amongst other accommodations. Within minutes of walking is access to the top of the city wall where bike rental is available to ride along the wall. The inn is very quiet at night. The inn is family operated and everyone was very hospitable. What sets this inn apart from other accommodations in the area is their dedication to service. The owner knew I was a tourist and new to the area, she offered to pick me up if I got lost wandering the ancient city. The breakfast came with my reservation. When the owner found out I had to depart before breakfast serving hours, she went above and beyond to prepare food and served me 30 minutes ahead of schedule. The food tasted amazing and came with abundant varieties and huge portions. It was definitely not part of the service to drop off at another venue, but the owner took me to my next accommodation 2km away. I truly appreciate everything this inn and its staff has done for me. I am so glad to have chosen to stay this beautiful little inn on my first night in Datong. I will definitely stay here again without a doubt on my next visit.
