[2025 Changli Hotels] Travel Guide for Anaya Lanxi Hotel (Updated Jul)

What a dreamy hotel! 🏨 I just returned from my vacation at Aranya in Beidaihe~ For my first trip to Aranya with friends, we chose the Lanxi Hotel in Aranya's 10th District. 🚄 Transportation Guide This time, we took the high-speed train from Beijing Station, speeding all the way to Beidaihe in less than 2 hours! Upon arriving at Beidaihe Station, our Aranya adventure began! We pre-booked shuttle tickets on the Aranya app, which took us directly from the station into the resort. The shuttle has three stops: the 9th District, the Anlan Hotel, and the Suka Hotel (if I remember correctly). We got off at the Suka Hotel entrance, where the hotel's shuttle was already waiting for us—talk about efficiency! Big thumbs up! 👍 Once inside the resort, getting around was a breeze! Wherever we wanted to go, the hotel shuttle was just a call away, so we never had to squeeze into public transport. For trips to the 9th District, you can take the shuttle or a taxi—taxis are super convenient and cost around 7-9 yuan. There's also a North Shore shuttle bus (I think?), but we opted for taxis for spontaneity! 🏨 Hidden Gem Accommodation—Lanxi Hotel Staying at the Lanxi Hotel was like a dream come true! Located in the 10th District, it was perfect for us peace-seekers. Right downstairs was a stunning, uncrowded beach—no queues for photos, just the whole shoreline to ourselves! The new resort tram's starting point is the Lanxi Hotel, with direct access to the chapel (still under construction). Plus, there's a pool by the beach, and with the welcome drink from the hotel, every shot was Instagram-worthy 📸! The rooms even had a DIY cocktail setup 🍸—such a unique experience! The service was impeccable—professional and warm from check-in to check-out. Our room had a balcony where we could relax at night, listening to the waves and feeling the sea breeze melt all our stress away. The hotel also has a Sea Canteen, famous for its delicious food, though we didn’t have time to try it this trip—next time for sure! The gym was well-equipped, and while the spa wasn’t open yet, it didn’t dampen our vacation vibes. Perfect experience—I’m definitely staying at Lanxi Hotel again next time I visit Aranya!

Aranya 🤍 Staying in a dream-like sea view room I think! This must be the seaside hotel of my dreams. This time, I stayed at the Lanxi Hotel in the 10th District. From the moment I stepped in, I couldn't stop exclaiming, "So beautiful!" The floor-to-ceiling windows, the uniquely designed rooms, and the private balcony— I could just laze around in the hotel doing nothing... The infinity pool, a glass of fine wine— This is the laid-back vacation I've always wanted! Escape the daily grind and get pleasantly tipsy anytime, anywhere. Breakfast was a delightful surprise too, served at the Seaside Canteen downstairs, the only gorgeous canteen with a sea view. From the moment I opened my eyes, it was a feast of beautiful scenery. I love Aranya! I love Lanxi!

Aranya | Meditate with the Wind, Dwell with the Sea A room where the sea greets you upon opening the door—here, you converse with yourself through the meditation of ocean breezes... At 4 a.m., I see the world clearly yet need not decipher the slow ascent of sunrise. Morning mist settles in my eyes as those who walk atop time remain half-asleep. Thoughts drift like whispers in the sea wind... In this lived-in space, the necessity of furniture or the serendipity of dynamic encounters weave a silent narrative. Irregular geometries of architecture and verdant eaves claim the heart. The moment I open the door, Aranya Lanshee and I meet halfway—the seaview room unfolds, and so does my soul. To capture the visual essence of space, we experience, explore, and travel afar, translating life’s epiphanies, self-reflection, spatial deconstruction, and heartfelt blessings into images that tell the stories of our journeys. Life’s touch often carries weariness, but here, fragrance lingers—soft and lazy. Tiny emotions coexist with the sea, washing away daily fatigue, offering undisturbed nourishment for the soul. Clink glasses with life, then make peace. Sip from the DIY mini bar in the room; perhaps alcohol is just another fine seasoning. Sunlight saturates the sea, glittering like galaxies. We must step out—view our lives from different worlds, different vantage points. Occasionally, visit Aranya, this wondrous place, to taste flavors unlike home at its eateries. Isn’t this how we heal? By nearing the mundane, glimpsing life’s pulse.
