Moganshan news: places to stay

What is changing in where people sleep: ownership, new inventory, the rules a guesthouse applies to a foreign passport.

  1. Weekly dispatch

    Moganshan dispatch, week 43

    Week 43, 2026

    Rain is forecast from Friday to Sunday, the same three days the Skyrace fills Yucun and the paths above it. Spartan Race entries close on 31 October, and three new places are open at Laoling and on Yujie.

    For a visitor: If you are on the mountain this weekend, expect rain from Friday to Sunday and runners on the paths and in Yucun from Friday evening; Monday is the first dry day in the forecast.

  2. Weekly dispatch

    Moganshan dispatch, week 40

    Week 40, 2026

    More than 12,000 guests stayed on Moganshan over Mid Autumn, and at least one hotel is booked out for the whole of National Day. Persimmon picking opens in a Moganshan village on 1 October.

    For a visitor: If you have no room booked for 1 to 7 October, look at the days after the holiday rather than hunting through it. The Hangzhou to Deqing railway still has no opening date, so nothing changes about how you get here this month.

  3. Four Seasons announces a 90 key Moganshan resort for 2030

    Four Seasons announced a 90 key resort at Moganshan on 12 September 2025. The site is 23 hectares at Yu Village and the opening year is 2030, which means nothing is bookable and the date will move.

    For a visitor: Nothing is bookable. 2030 is four years out, no construction has started, and dates that far ahead move, so a visitor plans around the hotels that exist today.

  4. Trip.com takes control of a 28 property Moganshan group

    Trip.com acquired 67.04 percent of Dalezhiye in March 2025, a group of 28 Moganshan properties with 556 rooms averaging about RMB 1,300 a night. The platform that sells rooms here now owns some of them.

    For a visitor: More of what you book may belong to one company. At about RMB 1,300 a night those rooms sit near the top of this market, where the high end line is RMB 1,500.

  5. Hotels may not turn foreign guests away, though refusals continue

    A joint reply of 24 May 2024 from three national bodies tells hotels not to refuse foreign guests for lack of a licence. Refusals are still reported, and on a mountain that runs on small family guesthouses the reply has not settled it on the ground.

    For a visitor: Ask before you pay, and get it in writing. This mountain runs on minsu (民宿), small family run guesthouses, so put the question to the property rather than assuming the reply reached it.
