Shanshuijian Dehang YasheHomestay in the heart of the National AAAAA-rated Dehang Scenic Area, the hotel is surrounded by ancient Miao villages and overlooks natural wonders such as the Dehang Grand Canyon, Liusha Waterfall, Aizhai Bridge, and Tianwen Platform. Rooted in the millennia-old cultural heritage of the Tujia and Miao ethnic groups, the hotel embodies a philosophy of "secluded luxury," blending dark aesthetics with the wild beauty of its surroundings. Spanning 3,846.81 square meters, the property was meticulously crafted by Xiangxi intangible cultural heritage artisans. Its terraced stilted architecture harmonizes with the valley’s topography, where gray tiles, wooden beams, upturned eaves, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows intertwine, preserving the charm of traditional village design while embracing modern minimalist elegance. Inside, interiors draw inspiration from Miao silver ornaments and embroidery, weaving mystical ethnic motifs with contemporary design to reflect a philosophy of "seclusion without isolation." Here, the hotel is both a sanctuary and a homecoming. As the echoes of Miao drums fade and bonfire embers cool, guests are left with the whispers of mountain streams and the intimate warmth of rooftop hot spring pools. Shan-Shui-Jian Dehang Elegant Lodge offers 49 rooms that encapsulate the untamed spirit and gentle allure of Xiangxi, inviting travelers to follow the glimmer of silver adornments and surrender to a timeless slumber. More than a place to stay, it is a journey to awaken cultural roots—a chance to immerse in the dark mystique of Xiangxi and touch its poetic soul and ethereal spirituality.
"Very unique hotel in the mountains with 10/10 service and friendly staff. Hu Lin, the hotel manager, went above and beyond helping us from pre-arrival (picking us up from train station) to taking us to the Aizhai Bridge, and arranging tickets to see an evening show. The hotel itself and rooms were incredible, very cozy and modern. Views from the room were beautiful too. Breakfast buffet was delicious too. Overall we highly recommend this hotel!"
