Fodor's Expert Review Shanhai Holiday Hotel
6 Beimadao, Shanhaiguan, Hebei, 066200, China
One of the few lodgings inside the walls of the recently rebuilt "ancient city," this Qing Dynasty–style complex offers simply furnished rooms set around a series of courtyards. The reception staff wears elaborate period gowns, amping up the Disneyesque atmosphere of the surroundings.
PROS
- close to the First Gate Under Heaven
- lots of local color
- pretty complex
CONS
- the "ancient city" is dead in the evenings
- rooms are quite small
- amenities are a little dated
