Mingshui Ancient City Zhaobi Inn

This trip exceeded my expectations. Booking tickets through Ctrip was incredibly convenient, and the earlier you book, the better the price. From the moment I arrived at the visitor center, I was immediately impressed by the excellent service at the ancient city. A young man surnamed Gao, known online as Xiao Zhu, was incredibly welcoming and professional. He arranged everything perfectly, including the complimentary shuttle bus, VIP tickets to the Quanxiu Spring Show, and luggage delivery service. He also promptly answered all my subsequent questions about the scenic area with great courtesy and professionalism. I give it a thumbs up. The ancient city's environment is clean and elegant, with a charming ancient charm that will leave you spellbound. All the staff I encountered were incredibly welcoming. The Zhaobi Inn, where we stayed, is located right in the heart of the ancient city. It's quiet, clean, and comfortable amidst the bustle. It's also very convenient for getting around and enjoying the various performances. I will recommend the beautiful Mingshui Ancient City of Qingming to my friends, and I'll definitely be planning a visit with them in the future.

The room was very clean. After checking in at the Tourist Service Center, my luggage was delivered directly to my room. After checking out, someone also took my luggage back to the Tourist Service Center. The connection was very convenient, and the mini-app was also very easy to use. The inn is in a great location, right in the heart of the ancient city, very close to performances and various attractions, making it convenient for dining and sightseeing. The dining and supporting facilities in the ancient city are very good, and the breakfast menu is very interesting. The itinerary manager will contact you on WeChat in advance. The person who managed my trip this time was Xu Qian. She responded to any questions during the trip and proactively reminded me of the weather and performance times. The service was excellent. I will definitely consider coming back next time.

The ancient city is built with distinct Jiangnan characteristics, and facilities are concentrated. Even during off-peak hours, it wasn't crowded. We stayed at an inn within the scenic area, right next to Zaojiu Market, in a central location. We checked in at the visitor center, had our luggage checked directly to the inn, and then we could explore. Xiao Gao, the visitor center manager, added me on WeChat and kept me informed of the Quanxiu performance times, which was very nice. The food was average, perhaps because Tianjin residents are picky.

The location of Zhaobi Inn is very good. According to the tourist center, it is only a 5-minute walk. In fact, Mingshui Ancient City is not very big. The inn is located in the center of the scenic spot, close to Mo Spring, Meihua Spring and other springs. The advantage of living in a scenic area is that you can enjoy the beautiful night view of lights at night. In the early morning, you can gently walk through the stone-paved ancient streets in a way that covers the entire ancient city. By the way, don’t order a set meal for breakfast, choose it for 30 yuan, and pick it up during the morning wine market!

The inn is located in the Mingshui Ancient City Scenic Area. Check-in and check-out are handled at the visitor center, and daily needs are handled by the guest room staff. When checking in, you can ask the visitor center to check your luggage to the inn, and explore the scenic area by yourself first. The inn is located at Hehua Pier. You can take a boat there for free. The boat ride takes 20 minutes. If there are few people, you have to wait until there are enough people before sailing. If there is a free scenic spot bus, Quanxiu Station seems to be quite close. If I am impatient and don’t want to wait, I can use Amap to navigate ten You can get there in just a few minutes. Don't use Baidu Maps, as the location is not accurate. Staying at Zhaobi Inn will give you VIP tickets for Quanxiu. We arrived at the stands at Quanxiu Square 1 hour before the show. The grandstand is in a 2-story room opposite the stage, and there is a staircase to go up to it. If you can't find one, you can ask the staff with the sign. We watched the Yi An Poetry Club and Quan Show in the first row on the second floor of the grandstand, with wooden benches. The dances of the Yi'an Poetry Club will be blocked, but it will not affect the cross talk and interactive games of the Poetry Club on the second floor terrace at all. The performance of Quanxiu shows the side view of the dance, but the drone performance, lighting effects, fountain and flame effects are very close. Please note that if you sit in the first row, you will get wet. If you are concerned, don’t sit too far forward. I think it is quite fun. of. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, iron flowers and drone sky lanterns were launched into the sky. This is the second time I watched Iron Flower. The performance was quite long. Three groups of masters performed Iron Flower in Dongmawan. The masters work in groups of two to make molten iron. You can watch the movements of the master's hands. The first one scoops up the molten iron, and the second master pours it out. So you can predict where to take pictures based on the movements. Zhaobi Inn also gave us a ticket to hang the Kongming Lantern with wishes, but it didn’t indicate on the ticket that the last hanging time was actually around 19:20. The time written on the ticket said the event started at 19:45. Fortunately, we arrived at 19:15. You can remind guests to arrive earlier next time. The room is well-equipped, the hot water heats up quickly, and there are plenty of places to hang clothes. The water provided is the Baimai Spring brand, but it doesn't taste special. The room is on the second floor and requires stairs. The design of the rooms and inn is antique, you can check in here. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first floor of the inn also serves as a performance stage. Breakfast is included when you book the inn. You can choose to have breakfast at any shop on the snack street, or you can choose your own breakfast at the Nobo Inn restaurant. The breakfast at Yefang Inn is vegetable salad, boiled eggs, and meal kits. We first had breakfast at Yefang Restaurant, and then after walking around, we went to Quanshui Mutton (which is also one of the optional breakfast restaurants in the snack street). We shared that we cooked mutton one night and added our own seasonings. The breakfast at Nobo Restaurant is friendly to dieters. The portions of salad vegetables are large, and the salad dressing is served separately. You can choose how much to add. Spring mutton has a little fat, so those who are averse to eating fat should choose carefully. The light-flavored mutton is delicious with a little salt and cumin. The bulubulu spray of Baimo Spring is very high during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The amount of water in Yamen and Meihua Spring is also very large, almost catching up with the waves on the beach. When we arrived around 9:00, no one was playing. Touching the spring water and listening to the sound was really healing. You can watch a few more shows in the morning before checking out, so don't rush out. There are not many people here in the morning, and the commercial atmosphere is not strong. Among the ancient towns I have visited, it is the most willing to spend a morning strolling carefully. The most recommended attractions in the scenic area are Baimo Spring, Plum Blossom Spring, Yamen, and Li Qing Photography.

This inn is located in the core of Mingshui Ancient City. There is a small stage right at the entrance with scheduled performances. It is convenient to go anywhere on the main street. The room was clean and not big. Open the small window and you will see the small streets of the ancient town. When staying here, you can choose to get a meal voucher to eat at the medicine breakfast wine market or go to a designated restaurant to have a buffet breakfast, which tastes very good. There are many benefits when staying at an inn, such as free tickets to the ancient city, free checked luggage, unlimited use of free sightseeing cars, night light shows, and the ability to designate stands, etc., which is very good
