Jingyitang Folk House Inn Tongli

I had a lovely stay here, on the street of the tourist attraction. The room was nice and clean, had good heating and good amenities. Very pleased! Thankyou

The accommodation is a old house which was built during the Kangxi reign of the Qing dynasty and has been built more than 300 years ago. Currently it is run by the descendants and the location of the accommodation is within the Tongli ancient town. After 5pm, entrance into the ancient town is free of charge. Hence we did not have to pay for the entrance fee when we stayed here as we got here after 5pm. The night view is beautiful with red lanterns which is different from Wuzhen which are mostly yellow in colour. The town still has the old ancient town feel compared to Xizha in Wuzhen which is more touristy and refurbished. It is worth staying here one night and enjoy the night view before heading to other nearby destinations the next day. Though we did not need to pay for the entrance ticket after 5pm, access to the attractions within the ancient town like the tuisi gardens etc requires the ticket for verification if you wish to visit these places the next day. The rooms in this hotel looks better in person than in the photos shown in the trip.com website. The beds are big and the antique furnitures gives a very oriental ancient vibe.
