No.5 Valley Lodge is a resort-style guesthouse in the Yangjiajie corner of Wulingyuan, set in the hills with views over the valley. It has an unusually full set of facilities for a lodge, including two outdoor pools with swim-up bars, a terrace, five restaurants, bike rental, trails and a games room, and its rooms range from compact kings to large balcony and pool-view units. Guests praise the staff, who arrange park transport, tickets and tours, and describe it as very quiet. It suits couples and small groups who want a scenic, slower stay and are happy to trade a short walk to the park gate for views and calm.
Location and getting around
The lodge is in Wulingyuan, about two kilometres from the Yangjiajie ticket station, with the scenic area a very short walk away. The national forest park entrance is roughly forty-five minutes by car, and the airport about an hour. That remoteness means fewer nearby restaurants, so you will probably eat at the lodge, where meals cost extra. The staff can arrange taxis, tickets and guided days.
The rooms
There are 19 room types, from king rooms of about thirty-two square metres to units of around a hundred square metres with balconies and pool views. Many rooms face the hills or the valley, family suites sleep four or five, and theme rooms add variety. Ask for a room with a balcony and a view when you book, and confirm whether breakfast is included, because the answer may vary by booking.
Good to know
Free parking and electric vehicle charging are available. There is a terrace, a garden, a games room, karaoke and a barbecue grill. Airport transfers can be arranged for a fee. Pets are not allowed, and the minimum check-in age is eighteen. Because the lodge is remote, it suits those who prefer a retreat over a town base, while travellers who want a short walk to cafes and shops may prefer a Wulingyuan town hotel.
A quiet room, a pool and a valley view make it one of the more memorable stays in the area.
