Zen Ju Qing Cheng Mountain

Las sábanas estaban limpias, higiénicas y de un material cómodo, y los artículos de aseo eran de buena calidad. Los dos dueños son muy amables y se esfuerzan por satisfacer las peticiones razonables de los huéspedes. Se nota que gestionan el hotelito y atienden a los clientes con dedicación y esmero. Además, nosotros dos echaremos de menos la sensación de relajación física y mental que teníamos al sentarnos bajo el alero por la noche, viendo la lluvia, escuchando el canto de los insectos, jugando con los gatos y los perros, y buscando ranas. Trabajar es realmente agotador.

Loved the quiet place. Ceiling to floor class window let you stay with the natural view outside of the window. Breakfast was delicious.

I had a wonderful weekend stay at this hotel. The weather was perfect, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a relaxing and enjoyable time. I’ll definitely be coming back when I have the chance.

Located in the mountains of Qingcheng, this place truly feels like a “人间仙境” (a paradise on earth). Life here is simple and peaceful — villagers go about their daily routines by climbing up and down the mountain, which adds to the charm and authenticity of the experience. The air is incredibly clean and refreshing. Both hosts are exceptionally warm and welcoming, and they love sharing interesting stories about the area. You can really feel the care and effort they’ve put into the place, especially in the garden, which is beautifully maintained and a highlight of the stay. A perfect escape if you’re looking for tranquility and a deeper connection with nature.

Was such a magical time here. Colin and Shaw were genuinely welcoming and lovely hosts. The room was gorgeous and the location is perfect - 20 min walking distance from Taian ancient town and the start of the walk to the back of Qingchengshan. Would love to return :) Thank you for making it such a memorable stay!

We had an incredible stay at Zen Ju Qing Cheng Mountain — one of those rare places that feels less like a guesthouse and more like stepping into someone’s way of life. What truly made the stay unforgettable, were the owners, Colin and Xiaoxiao (Show). They are genuinely, unbelievably kind — the kind of hospitality that goes far beyond service. From the moment we arrived (after the small work-out of walking up an intense hill), we were welcomed like long-lost family. Other guests — many of them regulars — immediately included us and urged us to try local delicacies they brought, which says a lot about the atmosphere Colin and Show have created. There are so many small moments that stand out: being greeted with coffee in the morning (they take coffee very seriously, in the best way), tea in the afternoon (which they take just as seriously, it turns out!), and the constant sense that nothing is too much trouble. Whether it’s helping with transport, sharing local tips, or just making sure you’re comfortable, everything is done with warmth and sincerity. The setting is beautiful and serene, tucked into the mountain with a stunning courtyard full of flowers and greenery. You can tell Colin, one of the owners, has a real gift for it — everything feels alive and thoughtfully cared for. He even treks into the mountains to pick wild tea, which gives you a sense of how deeply connected the place is to its surroundings. That attention to detail carries through everywhere: fresh flowers in the rooms, calm design, and incredibly comfortable bedding. It’s one of those places where you start to wonder what a slower, more intentional way of living might feel like. Even just for a few days, you get a glimpse of that. If you’re looking for a peaceful mountain retreat with real soul — not just a place to stay, but an experience shaped by genuinely exceptional people — this is it.

When you yearn for a different lifestyle but not ready to commit yourself to changes? For me, traveling is a way to get a sneak peek into “what would it be”, even if just for a moment. I feel incredibly fortunate to have come across Several Mountain Houses, and I’m grateful for the owners’ generosity in creating such a beautiful place and sharing their mountain life with guests.   Many guests have already praised the lovely courtyard, the nature-surrounded rooms, the sensorial bed linens, and the warm, earthy aesthetic of the space. I wholeheartedly agree. Beyond that, there was something even more special. I was wowed by the tidy kitchen, thoughtfully designed and completed with high-quality appliances and tableware. It’s a place that move your mind from “I’m staying in a B&B” to “I’m staying in a home.” The cherry on top? Having the owner made you a perfect cup of latte or cappuccino in the morning. Of all my travels in China, this is the first homestay where I’ve experienced that personal touch.   We arrived by Didi and had to drop off by the roadside, cross a wooden bridge, and then tackle a steep hill path.  We called for help and the owner came down to meet us and made sure we felt welcomed. My friend told me she felt like we had stepped into a scene from a web novel—the little challenge at the start, the homey atmosphere, the owners and their charming “career life to mountain life” story all made the experience very special.   I would recommend this place to anyone seeking a peaceful mountain retreat. It's the perfect spot to unwind and reset.    A small tip: if you're in the mood for trekking, head up to the Wulong Gorge scenic area and work your way back. If we had known, we would totally skip Baiyun (White Cloud) temple / village and spend more time relaxing at the house.

Unique and fabulous setting on a traditional chinese courtyard. Beautiful, fresh and zen surroundings. Extremely comfortable beddings. Traditional and quality breakfasts. Hosts are obsessed about coffee, so we benefited 😁 Hosts are friendly and helpful still discreet. Could be better if curtains are more light blocking.
