If there's one stay people think of when Cingjing is mentioned, it's this. The Old England Manor is an English Tudor-castle-style property standing grandly on the mountain — so beautiful it has become a landmark people stop to photograph even without staying. Inside it's lavishly, classically decorated, with a restaurant and service of premium standard. The price is fairly high, but in return you get an experience that feels like stepping into Europe itself.
