The location of the hotel is very advantageous. It is located in the center of the ancient town and the transportation is very convenient. It only takes a few minutes to walk to Xitang's main attractions, such as Yanyu Corridor, Songzi Laifeng Bridge, Bar Street, etc., which is very suitable for leisure vacation or business trip.
The facilities are outstanding. The hotel's architectural style is elegant and exquisite, and the garden is planted with various flowers and green plants, making the environment very pleasant. The room is fully equipped, clean and tidy, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling. The bed was moderately soft and hard, allowing me to have a good night's sleep.
The hotel has an internal bar, which is not open to the public. A variety of board and board games are also provided for guests' entertainment. You have more choices in your spare time, so you can fully enjoy the fun of your trip.
The hotel staff are warm and friendly and always provide us with attentive service. Whether it was checking in or checking out, they were always there to answer our questions and help us with a smile. This attentive and thoughtful service made me feel very warm and comfortable.
I highly recommend this hotel to friends who are planning to travel to Xitang. I believe you will also praise the facilities here just like me.

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.

Huge thanks to the front desk staff at Muyue for upgrading my room! The family terrace room was absolutely, incredibly comfortable. Having a terrace right outside the room meant I could experience Xitang without even leaving. The room layout was fantastic too – a king bed and a single bed, two sinks, and a bathtub. I'd definitely book this room again next time, even if it costs a bit more.
The breakfast was also great, light and tasty. All the service staff were excellent. Plus, there's a shuttle right outside that takes you to the scenic spots.
Highly recommend Muyue, I'm extremely satisfied!

Guest UserClean, hygienic, and a great environment. The room was clean and bright, the bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the soundproofing was excellent, allowing for a good night's sleep until morning. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, and the location is convenient, right in the ancient town as soon as you step out. Great value for money, highly recommended!

Drove here for a one-night stay during the pre-holiday weekend, and it was really good. The ambiance is elegant, with a touch of artistic flair. It's incredibly pleasant to come here occasionally to relax and unwind from the fast-paced work and life in Shanghai. The hygiene was excellent, and the food was delicious. Being away from the city's hustle and bustle instantly calmed my anxious mind. My wife and kids both thought everything was superb and that the trip was well worth it, telling me they'd like to come back often. I'm already thinking about bringing the kids here for a leisurely vacation during the upcoming summer break. 😁

I booked the Five Lakes Riverside Balcony Room with Main Channel View and Bathroom at Regalia Riverside for Dec 30 and 31, 2025. The room looks exactly as it does in the photos. The balcony has plug ins, teapot, teacups and tea prepared for you. Across the balcony, you can see the famous bridge and the boat station. You can also see up and down the channel. Room size is good for 2 persons. In the room is a heater/AC which worked perfectly and Ms. Sun also kindly turned on the heater since she knew my arrival time. The room has a kettle but no cups, coffee. Luckily I had brought my own. Also, know that the hotel does not provide breakfast - not a problem for me but for those we eat breakfast, just step outside. Location is perfect, it's in the heart of ancient town so easy to walk everywhere. Outside your door is snack street and at the end of the street is a ”food court”. Despite it's central location and opposite of the boat station, the noise was manageable. When I closed the balcony doors, I didn't hear anything (maybe too cold for people to loiter around?).
Everyone was very nice and kind. Ms. Sun went out of her way to help me with my return bus ticket to Hangzhou, giving me directions on how to arrive at the hotel/meeting point where she waited for me, and her colleague even walked and waited for my car when I departed for Hangzhou. Going from Hangzhou to Xitang was an adventure as I read many different versions and my hotel told me another in my research. All in all, i highly recommend Regalia and Xitang! Thank you to Ms Sun and everyone for making my 2026 new year experience so memorable!

Stayed here for 3d2n on March 9 2025! The hotel staff was really friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is in Xitang which is a tourist area so come in after 5pm and the entrance fee is free!
The hotel staff was really friendly as we left a note letting them know that my partner is a professional photographer so we booked a room with a balcony to take pictures. Before we checked-in, the owner offered to bring us to another hotel he owns in the area to see if liked the views there better but we still chose to stay in Manjuelong.
The rooms are quite spacious and the hotel was quite quiet at the time. The hotel is situated inside a tourist area which was quite convenient for us to walk around and explore!
If we go back to Jiaxing again, we will consider staying here again!

The first time I visited Xitang Ancient Town, I chose this hotel. It is located at the second door of Tangjia Lane, and the location is easy to find. The owner's surname is Tang, a local, very talkative and enthusiastic. The room is decorated in an antique style and the space is not small.

The room is in the scenic area, you can come in when it is free, and then you can play at will in the ancient town.
The boss has a very good attitude and is very caring. If you have any questions, you will reply in time and do it yourself. The room space is super large, the entire second floor and the living room are private areas, and there is also a mahjong table and a projector!
The two rooms are very large and very distinctive, basic toiletries are provided, and disposable towels and bath towels are provided.
When I came, it rained heavily. The boss was very good. We were allowed to keep it here. If the rain was small, we would go ~.
Very satisfied with an experience, I will choose this store next time!
