Qiquan Homestay  

Perched halfway up a mountain in Wulingyuan District, just steps from the entrance to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and about 21 km from Zhangjiajie city center. An eco-friendly mountain guesthouse and wellness retreat built above the Futian Mountain Spring, offering direct access to the signature Zhangjiajie peak forest.

Family-owned by a local Tujia family, the property blends traditional Tujia architecture with modern light-luxury Chinese interiors. Rooms feature panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and some include a stargazing loft with a glass roof. Built from eco-friendly materials and set among forest, you can sip tea on the terrace, breathe the cool mountain breeze, and drink spring water drawn from the on-site Futian Mountain Spring.

Standout offerings include a full-service restaurant and bar, a traditional ecological garden with farming experiences, a moonlit pavilion and terrace, karaoke, a library, and a picnic area. Practical perks: on-site parking, elevator access for guests with disabilities, laundry and dry cleaning, and concierge services. Expect wellness tourism activities and easy access to hiking in the Zhangjiajie peak forest—wake up to forest-bird mornings and stargaze from the loft.

On-site restaurant serves local Tujia specialty dishes and herbal health cuisine, plus simple regional flavors brewed with the guesthouse’s pure spring water. Sit on the terrace with a pot of tea or unwind at the bar after a day exploring the national park.
