- Description: A brutally honest review of the Hanting Hotel in Xuancheng, China. Dive into the details: from accessibility to the spa, food, and even the weirdness! Spoiler Alert: It wasn't always "unbelievable."

Let's Start the Emotional Rollercoaster!
First, the promise! The website, the photos… sigh. They painted a picture of serenity. Pools reflecting the azure sky, spa treatments melting away stress, and fluffy robes just begging to be worn. And for the most part, they delivered. But trust me, there were bumps in the road. Plenty of them!
Accessibility: Navigating the Labyrinth (and the Language Barrier)
Okay, HUGE props to the hotel for trying on the Wheelchair Accessible front. Elevators were present and accounted for, thank goodness. The facilities for disabled guests were…well, they existed. Navigating the hotel was generally okay, but the devil, as always, was in the details. Sidewalks weren’t always perfectly smooth, and signage, while present, sometimes felt a little…lost in translation. You know, that classic "Lost in Translation" vibe. Overall, it’s a thumbs up with a slightly shaky hand. I tried to find the Airport Transfer to help me but it was too expensive.
Cleanliness and Safety: Did I Survive? (Mostly, Yes!)
My inner germaphobe (yes, I have one) was slightly appeased. They were clearly taking the Anti-viral cleaning products and Daily disinfection in common areas seriously, and that's a win in my book. The hand sanitizer stations were plentiful (Thank goodness!). The staff was always masked, too. There's even a Hygiene certification, which is reassuring. I'm a sucker for a First aid kit, just in case.
About the Room sanitization opt-out available? I didn't try, but the room was pretty sparkling when I arrived.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (with a few hiccups)
Oh, the food! This is where things got interesting. There was a Breakfast [buffet], a sprawling, glorious monument to carbs and questionable egg dishes. I'm a sucker for Asian breakfast, and they certainly had it, and I'm also a sucker for Western breakfast, so I was completely satisfied! Coffee/tea in restaurant was definitely present. They had some Desserts in restaurant that were very, very attractive.
Then to eat the main dishes, there was a A la carte in restaurant and the prices were pretty standard so I ordered some soup! The Soup in restaurant was great, but I had to wait about an hour! On the other hand, the Room service [24-hour] was a lifesaver (especially after a particularly hard day spa-ing). You have got to try one of the Salad in restaurant, it was a refreshing change. Vegetarian restaurant and Asian cuisine in restaurant were both available. The Poolside bar was calling me, too!
The Rooms: My Temporary Kingdom (and Occasional Frustration)
Okay, the Non-smoking rooms were a godsend because nothing throws off the Zen of a spa getaway like cigarette smoke. The Air conditioning was blasting, which I loved. The Alarm clock did exactly what it was supposed to. The Bathrobes were fluffy and perfect for lounging. The Blackout curtains were a life-saver for sleeping in. The Coffee/tea maker got a serious workout. They even had Complimentary tea which saved me money. The Desk was great for using the Laptop workspace to do a little work. There was a Mini bar and a Refrigerator that were great for snacks. The Private bathroom was clean, and the Shower was hot! Overall, my room was pretty fantastic.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa-tastic or Spa-nasty?
This is where Hanting Hotel almost won me over completely. They had a Spa! And inside that spa were Sauna, Steamroom, Massage, and Spa/sauna! My god.
So I went for the Body scrub first, just to get the gritty bits off. The masseuse, bless her heart, clearly didn't speak much English, but we somehow communicated through a blend of pointing, grunting, and wild gesticulations. It was hilarious (in a "I'll never experience that again" kind of way). The Body wrap was a bit strange. I felt like a burrito, but a very relaxed burrito.
The Pool: A Glimpse of Paradise (with a Minor Disaster)
The Swimming pool [outdoor] looked magnificent. The Pool with view was everything I was hoping for. And then I dove in…literally. I'm not the most graceful person, as luck would have it, I slipped as I got in. I'm too embarrassed to elaborate further, but it’s a good thing the spa was available, or I'd have been a complete wreck.
Internet Access: Connected (but Just Barely)
The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! should be a no-brainer in this day and age, right? Well, it was available. But occasionally, it felt like I was connecting to the internet via carrier pigeon. The Internet access – LAN was never used. The Internet [LAN] and Internet access – wireless were spotty at best. But when it worked, it was fine!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things (and a Few Big Ones)
They had a Concierge, which was amazing for getting lost! The Dry cleaning and Laundry service were a lifesaver. The Gift/souvenir shop was tempting, but I managed to resist. The Elevator was essential. The Daily housekeeping was perfect.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly or Family-Frazzled?
I didn't have any kids with me, so I can't speak from experience. There were Kids facilities available, and they seemed to provide Babysitting service.
Getting Around:
The Car park [on-site] was spacious and free!
Now for the Good Stuff: My Unfiltered Opinion
Look, navigating China as a tourist can be tricky. Language barriers, cultural differences…it's a lot. The Hanting Hotel Xuancheng Jing County, while not perfect, really tried. The staff was generally friendly, the food was decent, and the spa? Worth the trip (and the occasional awkward encounter).
The Bottom Line:
Would I go back? Honestly, maybe. I'd go back for the spa and the pool alone. But I'd go armed with Google Translate, a sense of humor, and a healthy dose of acceptance for the unexpected. If you're looking for a perfectly polished, flawless luxury experience, this might not be it. But if you're up for an adventure, a little bit of chaos, and a whole lot of fun, then the Hanting Hotel Xuancheng Jing County could be the perfect (imperfect) getaway. Just remember to pack your sense of adventure…and maybe a phrasebook!
(Extra Rambling Bits - Because Why Not?)
- The "Shrine": There seemed to be a small shrine near the entrance. I wasn't quite sure what it was for, but it added a quirky touch!
- The Lack of Pets: The hotel did not allow any Pets allowed unavailablePets allowed, which was a shame.
- Overall Impression: The hotel was nice, and a good idea if you are looking for a nice getaway.
- The Staff: The staff was great, and always willing to help.
- Would I recommend it?: Yes! Just be prepared for a couple of bumps in the road!

Luxury Brenta Rovereto Apartments: Breathtaking Views & Unforgettable Stays
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, slightly chaotic, and totally imperfect world of my trip to Jing County, Xuancheng, China. This isn't your perfectly-manicured travel blog post, folks. This is real life, with all the stumbles, the joys, the questionable food choices, and the internal monologues that come with it. We're talking Hanting Hotel, Jing County, and a whole lot of… stuff.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Translation Struggle
Morning (or, "Whenever I Finally Drag Myself Out of Bed After the Long Flight"): Okay, reality check. This isn’t a luxurious five-star resort. This is the Hanting Hotel. It's… functional. Cleanish. The bed looks inviting enough to swallow me whole after a 14-hour flight.
Mid-day: The Great Mandarin Massacre (Translation Edition). I'm notoriously bad at languages, my Mandarin beyond basic. Trying to check into the hotel was an Olympic sport of pointing, miming, and hoping for the best. The front desk lady, bless her heart, probably thought I was insane. I think I managed to convey that I had a reservation? I hope so. The room key, victory! Now I’m finally in the room, and the air conditioning is… well, it’s blowing air. That's something, right?
Afternoon: The Street Food Adventure That (Almost) Didn't Happen. The first order of business: food. Specifically, street food. I'm obsessed with it. After a few tentative steps, I spot a vendor with what looks like delicious fried something-or-others. I attempt my best "Ni hao," point at the fried thing, and… get totally blank stares. Insert panic. Luckily, a kind, elderly gentleman, all smiles and wrinkles, steps in. Mandarin flows, gestures abound, and suddenly I'm cradling a paper bag overflowing with crispy, golden… things. Honestly? Heaven. Pure, fried, delicious heaven. They may or may not have been chicken feet in disguise. I may or may not have cared.
Evening: The Lost-in-Translation Dinner and the Quest for the Bathroom. Dinner at a local restaurant was a comedy of errors. The menu was all in Chinese. The waiter's English was… limited. I pointed at pictures, hoped for the best, and ended up with a plate of something that looked suspiciously like… tripe. I'm a vegetarian, and this was not the plan. After sneaking a sad bite into the bathroom of the restaurant, I learned that it had zero toilet paper. So that was fun. A bit of a nightmare tbh. I’ll be bringing my own tissue from now on.
Day 2: The Ancient Village and the Bamboo Forest Bliss
Morning: Hongcun Village – The Picturesque Delusion? Everyone raves about it. Hongcun Village is supposed to be unbelievably beautiful, all ancient architecture and charming canals. And it is. Gorgeous. But the crowds… oh, the crowds! It felt more like a tourist conveyor belt than a serene escape. I’d take a photo, get shoved, take another, get elbowed. I did however, get some amazing fried tofu from a street vendor, which made the whole experience worth it.
Mid-day: Bamboo Forest – Finally, Serenity! (Almost) My brain needed a break from the crowds. Time for the famed bamboo forest! The pictures promised ethereal glades, dappled sunlight, and the gentle rustle of leaves. The reality… was even better! The air was cool, the light filtered down, and for a blissful hour, I was utterly lost in the beauty of it all. I also may or may not have imagined myself as a character in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Don’t judge me.
Afternoon: Another Quest for Food, Another Struggle. This time, though, I was smarter (or so I thought). I found a tiny noodle shop and attempted to order, armed with a few carefully rehearsed Mandarin phrases and a picture of noodles. The woman looked at me like I was an alien. Eventually, through a combination of pointing and pleading, I got… something! It tasted amazing. And the best part? It only cost me about 20 cents!
Evening: The Hotel Room Reflection and The Question of My Sanity. Back in the hotel room, exhausted but fulfilled. The air conditioning is still blowing… air. Am I really doing this? Am I actually traveling solo in China, speaking barely any Mandarin, eating… who knows what? The answer: yes. And it's… exhilarating. And slightly terrifying. And I’m absolutely loving it.
Day 3: The Mountaintop View and the Farewell Feast (and the inevitable goodbye to my favorite fried street food.)
Morning: Mount Huangshan (sort of). I got a bus ticket to the base of Mount Huangshan, but was hit with a few road blocks. The bus was delayed. Then it started raining. Finally, just before reaching my destination, I threw the towel because the weather did not look promising. I came back to the hotel and took a nap.
Mid-day: Back to my favorite street vendor for some last-minute fried deliciousness. I'm not entirely sure what I'm eating, but I'm pretty sure I'll miss it.
Afternoon: The Great Packing and the Reluctant Farewell. Time to pack my bags. It’s a messy process. I'm leaving with a suitcase full of souvenirs, a head full of memories, and a stomach that’s been thoroughly tested. China, Jing County, you’ve been… something else.
Evening: The Airport Wait (and the Secret Goodbye Tears). I’m at the airport, waiting for my flight. This is the moment the reality of going home hits me. I secretly tear up while I look back through my photos and think about everything I've learned and everything I've seen. I’m already planning my return. (Maybe with better Mandarin skills next time…)
This trip wasn’t perfect. It was messy, unpredictable, and at times, incredibly frustrating. But it was mine. And that’s what matters. So long, Jing County! You beautiful, chaotic beast.
Kalamazoo's Wings Stadium Stay: Comfort Inn's Best Deal!
Okay, real talk: Is this place ACTUALLY luxurious? The brochures are… well, they’re brochures.
The website said something about “breathtaking natural beauty” nearby. Did you, like, *see* any of that?
What about the food? I'm picturing bland hotel breakfast buffets of despair...
The hotel is in Jing County. Is there anything *to do* there besides admire the, uh, “natural beauty”?
What was the *worst* part? Be honest!
So, would you recommend it? Is it worth it? Be brutally honest!
