Qinhuangdao Xianting Calligraphy Theme Hotel

Discover a magical hotel at the foot of the ancient city in Qinhuangdao! Just a 5-minute walk from the Shanhaiguan Pass, the "First Pass Under Heaven" scenic area, and with a 600-year-old city wall right outside your window, the cultural atmosphere and comfort are off the charts✨ 🏯 Location & Transportation • Prime spot in the scenic area: Located inside the Shanhaiguan Ancient City, with Ming and Qing dynasty old streets just downstairs. Enjoy the exclusive city wall view alone in the early morning. • Convenient transport: 1.5 km from Shanhaiguan Railway Station, taxi fare starts at the base price; free parking available for self-driving guests. • Nearby attractions: Laolongtou (15-minute drive), Meng Jiangnu Temple (8-minute drive). 🖌️ Cultural Experience Highlights • Calligraphy theme: The lobby displays authentic works by contemporary masters, and all rooms are named after the "Lanting Xu" calligraphy copybook. • Ancient city view: Recommended to book the "City View Loft" room, where the bathtub faces the ancient city tower, creating a time-travel vibe when lit up at night. • Hidden activities: Free calligraphy classes daily at 3 PM (remember to book your brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in advance). 🛏️ Stay Surprises • Room details: Huizhou-style design mixed with smart home features, 60-thread-count cotton bedding, and a full tea set. • Butler service: Local specialty peanut cake is proactively offered as a late-night snack, and Chinese herbal bath bags are provided for soaking. • Breakfast bonus: Freshly fried Puluo leaf cakes served with almond tea, more authentic than popular stores. 📸 Photo Guide 1. Fourth-floor terrace: Use the ancient city wall as a backdrop for Hanfu photos (Hanfu rental available at the hotel). 2. Spiral staircase: The sunlight streaming through wooden lattice windows at 3 PM creates stunning shadows. 3. Study corner: Capture candid shots pretending to write calligraphy, with real brushes and ink as props. ⚠️ Practical Tips • Better value in the off-season: Avoid July and August; you can get a city view room for just over 500 RMB. • Night tour suggestion: The hotel provides hand-drawn maps to help you find undeveloped old houses. • Warning: Restaurants inside the ancient city have low cost-performance; recommended to go to "Lao Wangtou Dumplings" 1 km away. For history lovers, this is the perfect immersive base to experience Shanhaiguan. Waking up to birdsong and morning bells is 100 times more healing than an alarm clock~
