Luxury Enshi Penthouse: Unrivaled Views, 600m from High-Speed Rail!
Luxury Enshi Penthouse: Unrivaled Views, 600m from High-Speed Rail!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Luxury Enshi Penthouse: Unrivaled Views, 600m from High-Speed Rail! And let me tell you, after spending a week… well, let's just say I've got thoughts. This isn't your sanitized, cookie-cutter review. This is the real deal, warts and all. Prepare for a rollercoaster.
First Impressions & the Hype (and Did It Live Up?)
So, the name immediately screams "Luxe." And that "Unrivaled Views" bit? Yeah, they ain't lying. The penthouse is, well, high. Like, cloud-level high. I mean, you're talking "I can practically see my future" kind of high. The pictures? They’re gorgeous. But the reality? Even better. That initial gasp when you walk in? Priceless. (I actually did gasp. Twice. First time, I dropped my phone. Oops.)
Location, Location, Location! (Or, "Why Am I Not Stuck in Traffic?")
Okay, the 600m from the High-Speed Rail thing? Huge selling point. Genius. I hopped off the train, practically skipped to the penthouse. No soul-crushing taxi rides, no endless traffic jams. Just… freedom. This is a massive win for accessibility. Makes getting around easier than finding a decent cup of coffee at 6 AM at a train station.
Accessibility – The Good, The Bad, & The Slightly Confusing
Now, for the nitty-gritty. They list "Facilities for disabled guests." Good. Elevator? Check. But I didn’t see any specific information on wheelchair access to the pool, for instance. (I didn’t need it, but I was looking.) More transparency here would be great.
The Wi-Fi & Internet Saga (Or, My Digital Life on the Line)
They shout about "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Internet access.” Well, duh. But let's talk speed. In my room? Solid. Fast enough to stream movies, video call my mom, and generally keep my online existence afloat. The “Internet [LAN]” thing? Old school. But hey, options are good! Wi-Fi in public areas? Spotty on the terrace, but hey, who’s complaining when you have those views?
The Room – My Fortress of Solitude (and Snacks)
Alright, the room itself? Wow. "Air conditioning," “Blackout curtains,” "Extra long bed," the whole shebang. I’m a sucker for a good "Seating area," and this one was massive. I spent a solid afternoon just staring out the giant window. "Laptop workspace?" Check. "Mini bar?" Oh, yes, definitely check. (The complimentary bottled water was a lifesaver after that long train ride). Oh, and the "Additional toilet?" A godsend when you're, you know, sharing the space with a…let’s just say a very active digestive system. (It wasn't me, I swear…)
Cleanliness & Safety – Because, You Know, World
This is where they really nailed it. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Room sanitization between stays," "Staff trained in safety protocol," "Hand sanitizer" everywhere. I legit felt safe. They even had "Individually-wrapped food options" at breakfast. In today's world, that’s huge peace of mind. They also had “CCTV in common areas” and “Security [24-hour].” I felt that every precaution was taken, which is incredibly important.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – Food, Glorious Food (And Maybe Some Regrets)
This is where things get interesting. "Restaurants," plural. "Bar.” “Poolside bar”? Yes, please! But here's the thing: the “Asian cuisine in restaurant” was…hit or miss. One night, the mapo tofu was heavenly, the next, it was… well, let's just say I had a conversation with the toilet later. "A la carte in restaurant," "Buffet in restaurant," "Asian breakfast," "Western breakfast"… Options galore. The "Coffee/tea in restaurant" was decent. "Desserts in restaurant?" Decadent. "Room service [24-hour]?" Crucial for late-night snack attacks. "Snack bar"? Also crucial. "Bottle of water" was readily available. A good move.
One morning, I ordered "Breakfast in room" because I was feeling lazy. And it came…late. Very late. And the "Breakfast takeaway service?" I still don't fully understand what it is. I’m imagining a tiny box filled with disappointment.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Spa Days & Gym Time (Or, My Attempts at Self-Care)
"Pool with view." Magnificent. This pool is a game-changer. "Fitness center?" I tried it. Once. Let’s just say I'm more of an "admire the equipment from afar" kind of person. They have "Spa/sauna" and "Steamroom" – but I’m a total spa rookie! I did try the foot bath… and nearly fell asleep. "Massage"? Yes, please. The "Body scrub" and "Body wrap" I didn't try. Seemed a bit…extra.
Services & Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter (Or, "Where's My Dry Cleaning?!")
"Concierge" service? Super helpful. "Dry cleaning"? Excellent, when it finally arrived (see, "late" earlier). "Laundry service?" I used it. "Luggage storage?" Yup. "Cash withdrawal?" Easy peasy. "Doorman"? Always a friendly face. "Meeting/banquet facilities"? Not my thing, but good to know they're there. "Airport transfer?" Definitely use it. More convenient than those late night taxi scams.
For the Kids – Babysitters & Miniature Mayhem (Or, "Is This Place Kid-Friendly?")
"Family/child friendly?" Seems so. "Babysitting service"? Good to know. "Kids facilities" and "Kids meal"? Makes sense. I saw a few families, and they seemed happy. This is something I can speak to – I saw no major meltdowns. That says a lot.
Getting Around – Trains, Taxis & the Joy of Not Driving
"Taxi service"? Available, but pricey. "Car park [free of charge]?" Yep! "Car park [on-site]"? Also yep! "Airport transfer?" Crucial (see above). The real win? The High-Speed Rail access. That's what seals the deal.
The Emotional Gut Punch… (And That Annoying Little Thing)
Look, the penthouse? It’s stunning. The views are genuinely breathtaking. I spent hours just staring out the window, thinking, reflecting, and generally feeling pretty darn good. But… there was this one minor thing. I loved the "Seating area," but the cushions were a bit… hard. Like, I needed to bring my own pillow hard. It’s a weird detail, but it stands out in comparison to the rest of the luxury.
The Offer – Because You Deserve This!
Okay, here's the deal: Book your stay at the Luxury Enshi Penthouse NOW and get a FREE bottle of champagne upon arrival! (Yep, you read that right. Bubbly. Because you deserve it.) Plus, we'll throw in a guaranteed upgrade to a suite with even better views (if it's available, of course – that's life, isn't it?) or a voucher for a massage and a free foot bath. And the best part? You'll be steps away from the high-speed rail – making your journey smoother than a freshly made Negroni. Don't wait! This is the experience you've been dreaming of. Escape the ordinary. Embrace the view. Book your slice of heaven today!
Why You Should Seriously Consider Booking:
- Unrivaled Views: Seriously, they're amazing. I'm still dreaming about them.
- Convenient Location: 600m from the High-Speed Rail is pure genius. No more airport headaches!
- Luxury & Comfort: Plenty of amenities to make you feel totally spoiled.
- Safety & Cleanliness: They're really taking care of you!

Don’t overthink it. Just freaking book it. (And maybe bring a pillow. Just in case.) You won't regret it.
Davao City Condo: Stunning 1121 Sq Ft Paradise Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your aunt Mildred's itinerary. This is…well, this is what happens when I try to plan a trip, knowing full well I'll probably end up ditching half the plan. We're talking LICHUANRNSHI利川高铁站 600米 市中心首位豪宅 顶层复式五房无遮拦风景 深圳业主五星品质 (try saying that three times fast!) Enshi, China. Let's get messy.
Day 1: Arrival & Altitude Woes (and the Apartment!)
Morning (ish): Land in Enshi. Okay, let's be real, after a twelve-hour flight-and-layover combo, "morning" is more like "existence". The flight, bleh. Always the worst. My "window seat" turned out to be the aisle – the worst. I wanted to watch the clouds. No, I got the head of a very enthusiastic baby.
Mid-Morning (but feeling like noon): We hit the LICHUANRNSHI 利川高铁站. The sheer size of it! It was like a giant, gleaming, metal dragonfly landed in the middle of nowhere. Found the taxi. Haggled for a while (I’m a champion haggler, even when I’m delirious with jet lag!). Then, the promised 600 meters to the "center-first luxury penthouse" (or whatever the listing said).
Afternoon: The Apartment…and Up, Up and AWAY! The pictures…lied a little. But in a good way! The "five-bedroom duplex with unobstructed views" WAS as advertised. Holy moly, views! This place was gorgeous. I wanted to just sit and stare, but then, the altitude hit. Or, more accurately, the altitude slammed me in the face with a brick. Shortness of breath, a headache that felt like a tiny hammer was pounding inside my skull, and this nagging feeling that I was going to throw up. It was a rough start. I spent the next few hours sprawled on the sofa, accepting the altitude sickness. I hate altitude.
Evening: Food, Glorious Food (and the Price of Failure). By evening, the altitude had lessened its grip, thanks to copious amounts of water. We summoned the Uber Eats. I have no idea what the food was - the app wasn't in English… but it was food. And it was delicious. Turns out, altitude sickness makes you ravenous. I devoured everything. I should have taken a picture, the feast was incredible. However, I would pay the price…later (see Day 2).
Day 2: "Lost in Translation" Noodles & Waterfall Whispers
Morning: Breakfast of Champions (or rather, a small bowl of noodles and a serious stomach ache). Remember that Uber Eats feast? Yeah, my stomach did not. I'm still here for breakfast…and the stomach ache is still here. Okay, fine, a bowl of noodles. At least I can eat something. The local breakfast place. Communication was a nightmare. Pointing, gesturing, and hopeful smiles did the trick. I think I ordered a spicy version of something. It was…spicy. And then, more…stomachaches.
Mid-morning: To the Waterfalls! We were supposed to visit the Tenglong Caves, but that stomach ache made it impossible. So, instead, we hit a nearby cluster of waterfalls. The air was thick with humidity, a welcome relief from the dry headache of the previous day. I was in the middle of this vast, gorgeous space: a massive waterfall cascading down into this stunning pool. And the water! It was COLD. I dipped my toes, then thought -- what the heck, let's go for it! It was one of the best feelings of the trip. The energy! The majesty! And for a brief, glorious moment, I forgot about my stomach's displeasure.
Afternoon: The Price of Beauty. (aka, the worst decision I've made in a long time). After a waterfall, I wanted to try a local spot that was recommended to me. I wish I had not. The moment I sat down, I knew it was a bad idea. The decor was kitsch, the menu was in characters, and the only thing I could read was "spicy." The waiter clearly didn't understand what I was saying, and I ordered something that the entire table was eating, but looked to be so unbelievably unappetizing. I tried a bite. Instantly, I knew. I was in for it. It was the WORST. I felt like I was going back to the previous day.
Evening: The Apartment, AGAIN. Back to the apartment…again. More water, bland crackers, and a resolute vow to stick to familiar foods for the rest of the trip. I think I'm going to spend the rest of this trip in a state of fear about what I eat.
Day 3: Tea, Terraces & a Glimmer of Hope (maybe)
Morning: Tea Time! Headed to a tea plantation, a few hours outside town. The green hills and the delicate tea leaves…it was breathtaking. I even managed to learn a little about the tea-making process, which, let's be honest, involved me taking a lot of pictures. But it was beautiful.
Mid-day: Rice Terraces. So. Many. Rice. Terraces. On the way from the tea plantation to back home, we drove past massive rice terraces. The sheer scale of it was mind-blowing. The colors! The shapes! I tried to capture it all on camera, but even my wide-angle lens couldn't do it justice.
Afternoon: A Tiny Bit of Optimism. With some more crackers and an optimistic approach, I was finally able to eat a small bowl of plain rice today. It was a turning point. I may not be able to eat anything, but I was getting better
Evening: The View. Again. Okay, fine, the view from the apartment is pretty amazing. I'll grant you that. I'll drink tea and sip it slowly, taking in the world.
Day 4: Farewell Feast
Morning: I survived. I'm eating meat. The best meal so far. Thank God. I was starting to lose hope in this trip.
Mid-day I am on the flight home, thinking about the views. The waterfalls. The rice terraces. The food! The constant stomach ache. It was the best and worst trip of my life.
Farewell: Will I return? Yes. Next time, I will be better prepared. And my stomach will get used to it.
So there you have it. A messy, imperfect, and hopefully somewhat entertaining peek into my chaotic travel planning. Enjoy!

Enshi Penthouse: Your Dream, My Headache (Maybe)? FAQs
Okay, the views. They *are* stunning, right? Like, seriously?
Alright, let's be honest. The views? Yeah, they’re a selling point. They’re the kind of views that make you dramatically raise your hands and exclaim "WOW!" in a slightly affected voice. Think… mountains. Lots of mountains. And, if you’re lucky, a glorious sunset display that’ll make your Instagram followers green with envy. I’ve seen some truly breathtaking sunrises from that balcony, made me want to write poetry. (I didn’t, by the way. Prose is more my jam. And also, coffee.)
One time? The *fog*. It rolled in, just after a rain shower, and the peaks were poking through like dragon's teeth. Seriously, felt like a movie. Then, of course, the rain washed away the good feelings when it turned into a leaky skylight in the guest bathroom. Life, eh?
600m from the High-Speed Rail. How convenient is that *really*? Is it a constant, ear-splitting roar?
Okay, 600 meters. That’s… close. Let’s be frank. It’s close. You're not *right* on top of the tracks, thank goodness! The real benefit here is the *convenience*. You can be on a train to, well, anywhere, pretty darn quickly. Packing light is key, by the way. I once dragged a suitcase and a ridiculously oversized teddy bear (don’t ask) that entire distance. Never again. The roar? It’s there. It’s a…shhh… whoosh, not a constant shriek. You get used to it. Mostly. I prefer to think of it as the sound of possibility… or the sound of my alarm clock. Depends on the day.
I remember the first time I heard it, though! Sat on my couch, watching a terrible reality show, and BOOM! Thought the building was collapsing. Scared the bejeezus out of me. But then I realized, "Oh, yeah. High speed rail." After that, I just incorporated it into my everyday life. Almost like white noise, but sometimes loud enough to wake you up at 3 in the morning. Which, in my book, is not convenient.
Luxury... What does that even *mean* in this context? Gold-plated toilet seats? Chefs in white gloves?
Let’s manage some expectations here. Gold-plated toilet seats? Probably not. (Although, now that you mention it, that *would* be a conversation starter.) Think more along the lines of… *good* quality. Nice furniture, plush carpets that feel amazing underfoot, smart home technology – maybe. Chefs in white gloves are a maybe, depends on your budget and how much you like being bossed around. I *almost* hired a private chef once. Then I remembered I like cooking. And eating. And not having to wear pants.
The luxury part comes from the space, the views, the feeling of, well, *being* up high. It's a different experience. Less "gilded cage," more "stylish, spacious perch overlooking all the plebs". I kid, I kid! Mostly. Honestly, the "luxury" is the feeling of escape, the feeling of, "I could stay here forever." Especially after a long day of schlepping around, dealing with the high speed rail. That and having a balcony big enough to host a small yoga class.
What's the catch? Every place has a catch, right?
Ah, the million-dollar question! The catch? Ah… Well, there are a few. First, this isn’t a budget stay. You're paying for that view, that convenience, that… *air* of exclusivity. Second: the cleaning. Penthouse living means a lot of glass. A LOT. And glass, as we all know, attracts fingerprints like moths to a flame. Or like me to a bag of chips. Speaking of which... the fridge! The one negative is the fridge is *too* big. Way too big. Makes me want to put stuff in there!
And let's be honest, you're gonna need to pack some patience, too, for things like the AC, which sometimes has a mind of its own and, as I said before, the high speed rail noise. It doesn't detract, but the price of convenience isn't always cheap. Remember to pack earplugs, just in case. They're my best friend.
Tell me something I *won't* find on the glossy brochures.
Okay, truth time. The glossy brochures won't tell you about the rogue pigeons. They are bold. So incredibly bold. They will judge you from the railing of your balcony. They will try to get into your food if you leave the door open for even a SECOND. "Luxury" and "pigeon poop" aren't usually used in the same sentence, but there you go. Learn to love them… or at least, tolerate their existence.
And here’s another thing: the quiet. Pure, mountain quiet. Can be… unsettling, if you're used to a city hum. There's no constant traffic noise, no chatter. Just the wind, the occasional train, and the rustling of leaves. Some people... they are used to living in the bustling city, so they might be disoriented. At first. I got used to it quite quickly. In fact, I thrived from the silence. But then again, I'm weird.
So, would *you* recommend it? Honestly?
Honestly? Yeah. I would. The views alone are worth the price of admission, pigeon poop and all. It's a special experience. A retreat. A chance to breathe. Even on the rainiest, gloomiest day, there's something about being up there, looking out over the world.
Yes, there are little things. The occasional leaky faucet. The slightly-too-bold pigeons. The train. But you know what? They become part of the experience. The little imperfections just make the whole thing… real. And after a stressful week, and I have experienced a TON of stressful weeks, if I was given a chance to go back, I would. In a heartbeat. And that, my friends, is the ultimate recommendation.
