161 Hotel
The first of hotels in China in which we stayed. Located in Lishi Hutong, very central and located in a very quiet area of the city.
To get from Beijing airport, the cheapest way is to take the Airport Express, get off at Dongzhimen station and from there take underground line 2 (navy blue line) to Yonghehong and then change to line 5 to Donsi.
Once here you have to exit at the Donsi St south exit. If you are wrong, do not worry, when you are out you have to go south of Donsi Street, leaving the Woomart (supermarket) behind and continue down, 2 or 3 streets, until you reach Lishi Hutong.
The rooms are medium in size, with all the comforts and the beds are very comfortable. From the windows you have views of the roofs of the surrounding houses.

The bathroom does not have a shower itself, but it is an artichoke hanging on the ceiling without more, in most hotels in China this is so, so the bathroom, every time you shower, a pool is made.
The payment of the stay is made once you check in and a deposit of 200RMB is also requested, which is returned when you check out if everything is correct.
They have a cafeteria and bar / restaurant service with fairly adjusted prices. A good place to drink the first coffee in the morning since this is not easy to find anywhere.

Pingyao Cheng Jia Hotel
Hotel in the center of Pingyao, next to the North Gate. In the Pingyao Cheng Jia Hotel we find a beautiful traditional house, with spectacular rooms, in the purest Chinese style.
The rooms are large, with all the comforts and with a bed as large as comfortable.

The bathroom does not have a shower as we know it, since there is only the artichoke on the ceiling in the middle of the bathroom, so it is quite difficult to shower without putting everything lost. But so are the Chinese bathrooms, at least in 99% of the hotels we have been to.
They have free wifi service in all facilities and no breakfast service is not included although for a fee you can take it in the common room (typical Chinese breakfast)
The patio where the rooms are located is a true haven of peace where you deserve to spend some time in the afternoon.

Ibis Chengdu Hotel
Conveniently located on No.20 Section 2 Hongxing Road, Jinjiang, this hotel is a perfect option to stay in Chengdu. The airport is about 40 minutes by car. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and part of the few hotels we found with breakfast included in the price of the room and although this is quite fair, it is true that it has bread and butter, something that we have not found in many Hotels.
From the hotel to the Panda Bear Conservation Center you can reach it by taxi in about 15 minutes and the price is approximately 33RMB
They have wifi throughout the establishment.

Destination Youth Hostel
Hotel in Wulingyuan, a town where we find the main gate of the Zhanjiajie National Park or Avatar Park.
The hostel is located about 200 meters from the park entrance and is surrounded by local restaurants. The location is on a street parallel to the main street, at the end of the street.
Hotel in Wulingyuan. Zhanjiajie National Park
The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. We booked one with mountain views, something more expensive and the truth is that it is not worth it since the views are not very special.
Free Wi-Fi is included in the price throughout the establishment and the signal is quite good.
They do not have an elevator, but they help carry luggage.
They recommend a restaurant, owned by the same owner for breakfast and lunch. We tried it and we didn't like anything.

Fenghuang Melody Inn
Hotel located in the historic area of Fenghuang. The rooms are large and very correct, as is the bathroom.
In this area of China it is very common to see in the photos of the hotels that the bathroom is integrated into the room with glass walls, but these have curtains to respect privacy.
Fenghuang Melody Inn's room
The hotel has wifi signal throughout the establishment, without paying any extra.
The views of the river from the rooms are stunning.
The hotel staff is the friendliest we have found on this trip to China for free. They even helped us to find transportation for the next day that we needed to go to Huaihua and it came out much cheaper than local transportation.
They do not accept a visa, so you have to bring cash to pay for your stay.

Yangshuo Magnolia Hotel
Hotel in Yangshuo, located on the street parallel to West Street, the best known, lively and noisy town.
The rooms are large and very comfortable, as are the bathrooms. On the bedside tables you will find earplugs, something that will already make you intuit what can happen at night.
If you are looking for a quiet place, where to rest and be on the balcony, this is not your place. But if you are looking for a central place, where you only go to sleep with comfort and cleanliness, do not hesitate. We heard noise at the beginning of the night, but with the fatigue we had, we slept without much trouble.

They have free wifi signal throughout the establishment, but in the rooms the signal is quite poor.
Breakfast is not included in the room price.
