Long Lane Inn

Top choice in Anhui


Housed in a gorgeous Ming dynasty villa, Long Lane Inn is a tourist attraction in its own right. There are nine different rooms, some with traditional rosewood Chinese four-poster beds, arranged around a courtyard. It's in a quiet corner of the village, away from the tourist scrum. Mornings start with birdsong and a good Chinese breakfast.

There's little English spoken but the owners are very friendly and will meet you at the village entrance.
