[Practical] The latest accommodation recommendation
Huotang Hotel is inspired by the combination of "Hakka Tulou" and "Great Wall". The exterior structure is simple, and the building seems to be built with adobe bricks as walls, but it is actually fine everywhere. There are 18 exquisitely designed rooms, including indoor heated swimming pool, restaurant, bar and other facilities. The firepit atrium in the center is a good place to take pictures that must not be missed!
From the moment you enter the gate, you can see the Tibetan grassland style of Nongnong. The colors and patterns continue to emphasize this theme. When you enter the room, you will feel even more surprised! What kind of fairy decoration is too stylish!
In addition to the several special room types we visited, we stayed in a king bed room with a view. The gauze bed here has become a good place for babies to hide and seek, and it is naturally the most brilliant place to take pictures!
Every detail is full of style, and the design of loved ones also makes people feel more comfortable. Carpets, flowers, cherries, air purifiers, everything makes people feel like coming home~
Mucheng Hotel and Huotang Hotel belong to boutique hotels. They are located in a valley in Gubei Water Town Scenic Area. The decoration style here is completely different from Huotang. It is modern and simple, with low-key geometric lines. The layout of the mountain construction department is patchwork.
When I checked in, Pangpang couldn't help but run around the room. The transparent space full of sunlight and the high-quality carpet and wooden floor made people have a very comfortable staying experience. Every little detail is unconventional and has its own small design details, and it also echoes with the fire pit. Have you noticed it carefully?

Xuejian Restaurant of Mucheng Hotel provides all-day Korean food, providing excellent dining experience and fresh dishes in an elegant environment.
If you love old Beijing hot pot, don’t miss Guguan Hot Pot City. The sesame sauce and mutton here are delicious, but the small hot pot is a bit of a show, but for the sake of refinement, the small hot pot is indeed more convenient and suitable for dinners with many people.
The meat here is super fresh and tender, and the variety is also very rich, taking into account the needs of tourists from the north and the south (spicy and non-spicy) full of innovation!
A full table made the friends very satisfied!
In addition, I recommend Jingyaofu, a restaurant on the first floor of the William Edgar Boutique Hotel. The taste of Chinese food is very suitable for the whole family to share, especially the crispy fish and lamb. The meat is tender and not greasy, which is also very suitable for babies!
The restaurants in Gubei Water Town are not only Chinese! Arrow Tower Steakhouse has always been an Internet celebrity restaurant in the town with its excellent location and high-quality dishes.
