Guest UserThe location is fantastic, quiet yet central, and there's free parking! 👍 It's right by the misty corridor, making dining super convenient with plenty of restaurants around. When you're tired from exploring the scenic area, you can easily pop back to the hotel for a rest. The front desk lady was incredibly helpful, even walking us to the riverside, and the complimentary fruit was delicious.

Xitang Yuanzhu Hotel: A Poetic Jiangnan Escape, Straight Out of Vincent Fang's Lyrics
Amidst the misty rain of Xitang, where gondolas gently drift, lies Xitang Yuanzhu Hotel – a poetic haven favored by Vincent Fang, nestled in this ancient town that embodies all the tenderness of Jiangnan. It’s an artistic sanctuary hidden within the everyday hustle and bustle.
When lyricist Vincent Fang stepped into Xitang, he chose Yuanzhu as his abode, weaving the misty allure and classic black-tiled, white-walled scenery of Jiangnan into his exquisitely crafted lyrics. He once said, “Architecture is the temperament of a city,” and Yuanzhu truly serves as Xitang's most distinctive and stylish emblem. It encapsulates the graceful charm of Jiangnan and radiates artistic vibrancy, allowing every guest to grasp the poetry hidden within Xitang's daily life.
Hidden away in a core, secluded area of Xitang Ancient Town, adjacent to the Misty Rain Corridor, Yuanzhu offers an immediate escape from the clamor of the world. Yet, a turn of the head brings you back to embrace the lively atmosphere of the ancient town. The hotel was meticulously designed by a master landscape artist, who eschewed elaborate ornamentation, opting instead for minimalist 'blank space' to define its artistic texture. Pure white corridors gracefully stretch and curve, while arched doorways naturally exude a romantic ambiance. As light and shadow dance, they trace the gentle contours unique to Jiangnan, making every snapshot a stunning, atmospheric masterpiece – recreating the poetic backdrops Vincent Fang himself captured.
Stepping inside, Eastern antiquity blends seamlessly with modern art. The white walls and dark tiles continue the rustic charm of Jiangnan water towns, while innovative designs like the stargazing terrace, sky garden, and Monet's Window infuse this antiquity with a unique romance. The serene tea room invites you to savor a cup of tea while watching rain patter on banana leaves outside the window. From the viewing terrace, you can admire a sky full of stars and listen to the ancient town's evening breeze whisper. The elegant guest rooms offer ultimate comfort and delicate touches, with private courtyards and tatami bathtubs – every detail thoughtfully designed to allow your body and mind to truly relax within the gentle embrace of Jiangnan.
This is where Vincent Fang found his creative inspiration. The chivalrous tenderness of “Red Dust Inn” and the romantic wistfulness of “Waiting for the Misty Rain in Azure” (天青色等烟雨) seem to be palpable in every breath and corner of Yuanzhu. Staying here means sleeping in the rooms where a celebrated talent slept, seeing the landscapes he saw, walking on the bluestone paths, and wandering through the Misty Rain Corridor. It’s an immersive experience of Jiangnan water towns' spiritual beauty, a rendezvous with the ink-wash Jiangnan described in poetry.
There's no need to travel far or seek distant lands. Come to Xitang Yuanzhu Hotel, live within the Jiangnan artistic conception penned by Vincent Fang. Amidst the white walls and dark tiles, in the interplay of light and shadow, encounter an unexpected poetry and beauty. Let time slow down, let your heart find peace, and unlock your own slow pace of life in Jiangnan.
Come to Xitang, fulfill your appointment with Yuanzhu, meet Vincent Fang's poetic spirit, admire the misty rain of Jiangnan together, and quietly enjoy the tranquility of time.

MaryLiLOn a weekend trip, I booked the Muyue Hotel, which is close to Xitang Ancient Town. Although it's not a large hotel, it's clean, elegant, and the service is warm and attentive. The lake-view room offered a truly delightful sight and is highly recommended. Also, the lady at the front desk was very helpful and thoughtful; she can assist guests in accessing the ancient town's South Gate directly through the hotel's side entrance. From there, you can enjoy the江南 (Jiangnan) style garden and lake views all the way to the main scenic area, the Yanyu Corridor. It’s perfect for a leisurely stroll to take in the sights and colors of Xitang Ancient Town. I highly recommend staying at Muyue Hotel.

We chose this hotel for our family trip to Xitang with our child, and our stay was an absolute delight – truly a hidden gem for families! The room was spacious, and the semi-open bathroom design felt airy and made it easy to keep an eye on our little one. The frosted glass partition offered plenty of privacy. The vanity height was just right, so our child could easily wash hands and brush teeth independently, which was super convenient. The lighted vanity mirror was also a nice touch for mom's touch-ups.
The beds were soft and comfortable, and with a king-sized bed plus an extra bed, there was plenty of room for the whole family without feeling crowded – our child could roll around freely without any worries.
The hallway carpets were soft, so we didn't have to worry about bumps or falls if our child ran around. The warm lighting created a cozy atmosphere, making it feel just like home. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly. They proactively offered to help with our luggage when they saw we had a child and thoughtfully asked if we needed any children's amenities (like small slippers or rinse cups) – they really thought of everything!
Whether it's a short family getaway or a longer trip, this hotel is perfectly suited for families. The thoughtful design, attentive service, and comfortable environment made for a happy stay for our child and allowed us parents to relax properly. I've already recommended it to all my friends with kids, and we'll definitely be back!

Mr. Paul Yang
I passed by Xitang with my colleagues and came in for a walk and stayed for one night. It was easy to find just a little bit inside the north gate. The lights in the scenic area were turned on shortly after we entered at night. The weather was not too hot yet, so it was suitable for a night tour.
The lady at the front desk was very nice and guided us very conveniently. We checked in that evening. Accommodation and parking were free. I have been to Xitang many times and will consider staying there next time. The hotel is in the scenic area and is very convenient for sightseeing.

Guest User
The room was very spacious, with two 1.35m beds pushed together. Lying in bed, you could barely find the other person (hahaha). In the evening, I went to the indoor public hot spring, which had many massage jets and was very comfortable. It was a bit cold outside, so I didn't go. The next morning, I soaked in the hot spring on the room's balcony, basking in the sun – it was truly relaxing! However, the dining was quite average. Breakfast was a bit awkward; guests from another hot spring hotel also came to the Four Seasons Hotel's restaurant for breakfast. So, it was very crowded, with lots of elderly people and children, making it very noisy, and the food selection was limited and mediocre. The hot spring buffet dinner for 68 RMB per person was just standard. The hotel's butler service was quite good; they answered all questions and even gave a departure gift, which we enjoyed on our way home.

Guest UserFirst time here, and we got upgraded to a Four Seasons room right at check-in. The room was huge and even had a private hot tub, which was fantastic! You can use your room card to access the hot springs twice a day, and even go again after checking out the next day, which is super convenient. The hot springs have both indoor and outdoor sections; my favorite were the indoor massage pools and the heated stone beds. There's also a swimming pool, and they offer complimentary red date tea if you get thirsty. The butler and front desk staff were very warm and helpful, providing excellent service. The hotel offers a buffet dinner and an à la carte restaurant, which is a nice touch. Breakfast had a great variety too. It rained during our stay, so we didn't get to explore the surroundings much, but it's very close to Shanghai, so we'll definitely be back!
