Living with kids in a landscape painting—highly recommended! This resort hotel is right at the entrance of the scenic area

When searching for a vacation spot by the Oujiang River, the name Junlan Resort Hotel stood out among many options—it is located just outside the gate of the Guyan Huaxiang Scenic Area, only a fifteen-minute walk away. This complex of white walls and black tiles unfolds like a Song Dynasty landscape scroll, reminiscent of Xia Gui’s "Clear Distance in Streams and Mountains." Entering the lobby, the elegance of Chinese architecture is evident in the celadon ceramics and bamboo woven items. Next to the hotel lobby is a small bridge over a creek, where the sound of water flows day and night, moistening the mossy stone steps along with Lishui’s humid air. 🏡 Accommodation: 36㎡ Garden View Room (Twin beds 1.2m) The laundry area helps eliminate luggage clutter, and the moment the automatic curtains open, the greenery outside the framed window acts like a natural screen. The bathroom space is especially thoughtful: the SevenPlus green tea essential oil bath series carries woody notes of bitter orange and cedar. 🖤 Special details: Dyson alternative hairdryer, mini fridge, fast-charging speaker, independent laundry area, garment steamer, three-part bathroom design, disposable items like toothbrushes—these amenities surpass those of comparable resort hotels. 💟 Smart and Clean Free use of the laundry room, with iron/garment steamer provided in the room to meet long-stay needs. As a mom who loves staying at hotels with kids, I highly value entertainment and family-friendliness. ✅ Family facilities: baby stroller, children’s slippers/toothbrush/toys, very thoughtful details. ✅ Lan Elf Kids’ Playroom: ball pit, wooden sandpit, children’s books, tabletop football, ✅ Intangible Cultural Heritage Handicrafts: lacquer fan making, pottery experience, Hanfu rental ✅ Outdoor leisure: fishing, petting zoo, lawn picnic area; the garden view rooms on the first floor open directly to the outdoor playground. ✅ Petting Zoo: super gentle ducks and rabbits you can pet freely; even my shy kid dared to reach out for feeding at zero distance. 🥣 The hotel breakfast is a Chinese-Western buffet: A wide variety of choices with fresh and healthy ingredients. Dishes include stir-fried items, cold dishes, buns, bread, porridge, small cakes, coffee, soy milk, fruit—truly a dazzling array. Following tradition, recommended local specialty breakfast dishes from Chuzhou: Jinyun sesame seed cake with small wontons, Bihu buns, Lishui rice noodles. You can taste local specialties without leaving the hotel. 🚣 Bonus Guyan Huaxiang 👉 Lazy essential route: Hotel → Guyan (touch the thousand-year-old camphor tree king) → 5-minute boat ride to Huaxiang → back to hotel to relax ▪️ What could be improved on such a pleasant hotel trip: The breakfast Jinyun sesame seed cakes are made too slowly (suggest adding another oven!) The hotel has no underground parking; parking spaces are tight and it gets a bit hot in summer~
