Hotel Dengan Bar di Jiangxi, China

I was very satisfied with my stay at ”Yangxian Village” this time. I have to commend the management system of Wangxian Valley Scenic Area. The check-in process was very straightforward, and they even arranged staff to help with luggage. There's also a shuttle service between the hotel and the parking lot. Speaking of Wangxian Valley Scenic Area, it's another newly built ancient-style scenic area, and while commercialized, it still maintains its unique charm. The overall experience was good. The snacks within the scenic area are also local specialties, and having shuttle buses for transportation around makes it quite convenient.

Looking at the pictures, I thought it was just a regular guesthouse, but once inside, I found the room to be really nice and new. The complimentary water bottles were also a nice touch, and my child absolutely loved them. Being located right inside the scenic area is a huge plus. We could go straight back to our room after exploring, avoiding the crowded exits. During Chinese New Year, it's definitely better to stay within the scenic area for a much better experience. As for the service, I felt that all the staff members were very good. You could sense their harmonious working relationship, and they were very enthusiastic when answering tourists' questions. The guesthouses are quite spread out, and the area feels a bit like a maze. If it weren't for the Spring Festival crowds, I would highly recommend a visit, especially for the spectacular night views.

The hotel is nice and a comfortable environment. It's location is a bit out of the way, but not too bad. The rooms are a bit small, particularly compared to similarly priced hotels in bigger cities. (e.g. I came from Shanghai and spent a similar price for a room that was easily 50% larger. Given Shanghai prices, it should have been the other way around.) The breakfast was very underwhelming. Poorly cooked ”western” food that only vaguely looked like what it was supposed to be, and tasted nothing like it. Small selection of lukewarm Chinese breakfast items. Tiny bottles of yoghurt. Very watered down juice.

I chose the Shangri-La for my trip to Nanchang this time. The hotel is located by the Gan River, right above the musical fountain at Qiushui Square. At night, you can get a clear view of the Tengwang Pavilion across the river. Getting to the train station, Tengwang Pavilion, Wanshou Palace, Bayi Museum, and Bayi Square is very convenient as there's a direct subway connection right outside the hotel. The hotel facilities are a bit dated, though. Overall, the Shangri-La Hotel is still worth staying at when you visit Nanchang.

My family and I visited Huangling, and I booked a family suite at Shanshuge Meisu on Ctrip well in advance. I also got in touch with the owner early. It's about an hour's drive from the high-speed rail station to the village where the hotel is located. The owner arranged a private car for us for 100 yuan, which was very convenient as we didn't have to find a taxi ourselves, and it was quite a good deal. No worries at all! When we arrived at the village entrance, the owner was already waiting for us. We hopped onto his motorized tricycle. At first, I was a bit scared (as it was my first time riding one) while he navigated a small country road. The owner handled it with ease, especially reversing up steps and making sharp turns. It really made me a little nervous! After getting off, I had to admire the owner's driving skills – truly a master among the common folks [facepalm][facepalm][facepalm]. After checking in and getting to our room, we found it to be very spacious and fully smart-enabled. Lying on the rocking chair, we could even see the cable cars moving in the scenic area [chuckle]. The 'Dragon Seed' suite is particularly well-suited for a family, with two separate bathrooms and two separate vanity areas. It was really convenient for the whole family to have their own space without disturbing each other [happy][happy]. Since we arrived in the evening, the next morning, following the owner's advice, we chartered a car to visit some nearby ancient villages (Shangtan, Longwei, Qingyuan). Around 2 PM, we went to Huangling. The sun-drying autumn harvest during the day and the night view were both beautiful [thumbs up]. The whole day's itinerary was packed. On the third day, the owner arranged another car to take us directly to the high-speed rail station. The driver was also very good and drove steadily. This trip to Huangling was perfect! Especially choosing Shanshuge Meisu and the 'Dragon Seed' family suite. We'll definitely come back next year to see the canola flowers in Huangling and stay at Shanshuge again [happy][happy].

The room is spotless 🧹, the smart toilet 🚽 the ground bed 🛏️ the surface is quite clean 🪟 the windows are large and the lighting is good, and the room is very bright! The hotel is only a few minutes away from the Tengwang Pavilion, and the night view of Tengwang Pavilion is particularly beautiful! Breakfast is delicious! There are a lot of snacks when you go out. I recommend you to try rice cakes and tea. The hotel has a parking lot 🅿️ parking is convenient! The young ladies at the front desk are kind! Say hello to us every time you return to the hotel! Answer any questions patiently! Drop things and call me to remind me! Recommended for all families.

After taking the cable car up, the hotel's shuttle bus was there to pick us up and take us to the reception center. From the reception center, it was about a 10-minute walk to the hotel, all on flagstone paths, which was a bit of a trek! 😂 But a huge thanks to the staff member who helped drag my luggage. The room itself was spacious, and the view from the balcony was decent. The only downside was the internet, which was pretty mediocre. Compared to the hotels in Wunvzhou Resort, the main drawback here is that you still have to pay extra for the scenic area entrance ticket.

I went to Fuzhou on a business trip some time ago and chose to stay at Hilton Fuzhou Poly Huazhang. The overall experience was very good and I must share it. • Convenient transportation: The hotel is located in the High-tech Zone of Fuzhou City, in the commercial center, and is only a 6-minute drive from the railway station. It is very convenient for people like me who travel frequently. • Pleasant environment: As soon as I entered the hotel, I was attracted by the 80,000 square meters of outdoor artificial garden landscape. The traditional Chinese architectural design style makes the whole hotel full of elegant charm. Walking in it is comfortable and relaxing. • Intimate service: From the check-in at the front desk, the staff is enthusiastic and professional, quickly handles the formalities, and also introduces the hotel facilities intimately. During the stay, any needs can be responded to in time, which is really worry-free. • Rich dining: The ”Moonlight” buffet restaurant provides a lot of food, high-quality seafood, fresh and delicious, on-site cooking is full of fireworks, and there are various international and local cuisines to meet different tastes. The Cantonese and Gan cuisines in the ”Yugongguan” Chinese restaurant are also quite authentic, and every bite is intoxicating. It is very pleasant to order a cup of coffee in the ”Liuguang” lobby bar and enjoy the outdoor scenery. • Complete facilities: The hotel has a large conference and banquet venue of 4,300 square meters, including conference rooms, banquet halls, boardrooms, and outdoor sunny lawns, which are suitable for both business meetings and social gatherings. In addition, the gym is fully equipped and the swimming pool is clear. It is so comfortable to swim a few laps. Living here, you can work and relax at the same time. This time I stayed at the Fuzhou Poly Huazhang Hilton Hotel, which was impeccable in all aspects. Next time I come to Fuzhou, I will definitely choose this place!

After spending a few days on Mount Lu, we then chose to stay for a night at the Sheraton Jiujiang Ocean Hotel. We'd still like to express our gratitude to He Qi and the male front desk staff who checked us in that day. Their thoughtful arrangements allowed us to get a good night's rest and recover a lot of our energy. The hotel opened in March, so its facilities are very new. Our Lake View Premium King Room featured both a shower and a bathtub, which our child absolutely loved splashing around in. There was also a dedicated work area and a coat rack, making the space well-utilized and very comfortable. The bedding was just right – neither too soft nor too firm – and the fully smart air conditioning and bathroom ensured a high quality of sleep. The breakfast selection was rich and delicious, offering a good blend of Western and Chinese options, and even featured a dedicated kids' section. The breakfast staff were professional and polite; while waiting for our food, we even chatted with the staff member at the noodle station about the weather and local waterfalls. Overall, it was a very relaxing and pleasant experience. This time, we didn't have enough energy to try the swimming pool and gym, but we'll definitely make sure to on our next visit. As expected from an international brand like Sheraton, the quality is guaranteed. Our child was so happy when they learned we'd be staying at the Sheraton after coming down from the mountain that they exclaimed, 'We're home!'

The location of the hotel is very friendly to self-driving tours. It is only ten kilometers away from the highway exit. The hotel is elegantly decorated, giving it the feel of a five-star hotel. The rooms are spacious, well-planned, and separated into dry and wet areas. The bedding was clean and comfortable, and the family of three slept well. Breakfast is on the top floor, with a rich variety of dishes, and they are constantly being added, with sufficient supply, and the beef noodles taste amazing. The front desk service was warm and considerate. Seeing our family of three, they gave us a free breakfast👍🏻
