I have been paying attention to the relevant information about Chikan Ancient Town since the summer vacation, and finally made a trip during the National Day holiday.
1. This time I booked a family room at Chaoqi Family Hotel, the only family hotel in the ancient town. It accommodates 2 adults and 3 children (two of them are 12 years old 😂). The 2 beds are just right. I booked it from now on From the beginning of the hotel, there is a customer service butler + WeChat to arrange accommodation matters (how many people are staying, registration of license plate number, check-in process, dining options, etc.). The service is in place and very attentive👍🏻. The supplies prepared in the hotel are also prepared per person. . The only small regret is that this room type does not have a balcony. What I thought was a bunk bed is actually a children's play area, but it is very empty. It would be better if it was decorated more. When I left the hotel, I was given 2 boxes of small cookies.
2. There is a children's play area and a water splash area in the nest. The children's play area has a wave pool, a slide, a building block table, and a book corner. It is very suitable for children to play here. However, maybe due to the new decoration, there is still a slight smell and the ventilation needs to be strengthened. As for the water play area, the housekeeper There was a reminder to bring swimsuits, but we didn’t go play in the water, so I won’t comment.
3. Catering: The package I ordered included breakfast and a main meal. I chose the buffet style for breakfast and ate it at Meitang Hotel. Although there were not many varieties, the taste was still good (I forgot to take pictures); I chose the main meal option. Xinglong Beef Hot Pot, a meal for 2 people. I ordered 2 more dishes, but all 4 of us almost didn't finish it. The portion size and taste were okay. In fact, there are many dining options in the scenic area, but the package includes them so I can’t try anything else.
4. The location of the hotel: Chaoqi is not in the center of the ancient town. It is next to two squares and close to Situ Pier. It is very close to the scenic spots in the picture and it is not very noisy at night, unlike Meitang Hotel and Yiyi Hotel. Like Xi Hotel, there is a camping bar or snack street downstairs.
5. It’s a bit hot during the two days of National Day, so I can’t visit all the attractions in the ancient town. I can only check in the attractions near the hotel. It is recommended that after entering the scenic area, you first take the Dangdang bus (tram), which costs 50 oceans per person, and goes around the outskirts of the ancient town. Walk around and get to know the layout of the entire scenic spot first, then walk slowly and check in. You don’t have to be like us, wandering around like a blind fly on the first day without being able to tell the difference between east, west, north and south 😂. You can also feed pigeons at the entrance of Christ Church during the day (but the food for feeding pigeons is expensive in my opinion, 2 small bags cost 15 oceans, and you can feed them all in one go😂)
6. I heard from the staff that the ancient town was only opened to the public in January 2023, so there are still many facilities or shops under construction. I hope there will be opportunities for a second visit in the future.
