I am from Singapore. I added the inn’s phone number on Trip.com into my WeChat. Via text messages in WeChat (I can read and write in Chinese), I asked the inn owner how to get to her inn prior to arriving. Her replies were prompt. So, for non-locals, as long as you can access WeChat using your foreign phone number and can produce text in Chinese, communication would be fine.
Apparently there is a local bus that goes to the inn from Jilin train station but on the day of my arrival, the bus wasn’t in service. The inn owner arranged a car to pick me up instead.
There is a variety of food that can be ordered at the inn. I slept very well on the simple floor bed. Most importantly, the inn provide excellent service in ferrying the guests to and from the rime spots starting from early in the morning sunrise. The rime I saw on my visit was pretty.
There were many guests during my stay. I highly recommend this inn if you come to Wusong island for the rime!
We had the most amazing time at Zhao Si Inn! Mr. Zhao, the owner of the Inn, was the most amazing host. The inn is very warm, welcoming, and very clean. Mr. Zhao also drove us out to see the night scenery at Wusong Island main area, where there were fireworks, fire performances. Afterwards, we had an amazing hotpot dinner at the Inn. The following morning, he took us to see the most incredible sunrise with the icy white Wusong trees lined up. After a hearty and delicious breakfast back in the Inn, he kindly drove us to the main area again, where there were so many fun activities for our whole family (including a young child). Mr. Zhao shared with us his deep knowledge of the area and is the most passionate and gracious Inn owner. We can't wait to go back again!
Very clean, the owner is very helpful. For such fee charged, can't really complain.
Pls ask the owner to arrange car to drop you to wusong island for a more comfortable travelling (10 yuan / peson back and forth). She can also arrange a taxi to pick you up from her inn to jilin city/ jilin railway.
And must try her Manchu hotpot. Good portion and comforting.
Better to bring your own towel though. They provide a mini compress towel which might not be convenient.
