Vantu·ANNICA Tourism Resort (Zhangjiajie National Forest Park)  

On the edge of Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie — a boutique homestay-resort tucked inside the national forest park. It's just steps from the Zimugang Ticket Office and about 22 km from Zhangjiajie city center, making park access ridiculously easy.

Completed in 2023 after four years of development, the property covers 3,500 m² with 1,800 m² built. Minimalist wabi-sabi design, floor-to-ceiling glass and rooms that open to pond-and-valley views create a private courtyard vibe that blends into the forest.

Standouts: a 200 m² open-air scenic swimming pool, a 1,500 m² outdoor lawn and 400 m² of poolside open space — great for weddings and big gatherings. There's also a gym, library, picnic area, parking, elevator, concierge, laundry/ironing/press, and rooms with TV, mini-bar and slippers. Wake up to forest-framed views and step straight into nature.

A meeting room is available, and the vast lawn and pool areas make the place well suited for team-building and events.

On-site restaurant, bar and a tea room offer easy, relaxed dining and drinks after a day exploring the forest park.
