Nice environment, good service attitude, worth recommending!

1. Find Warmth in an Ancient Town: The Festive Atmosphere of Jiangnan's New Year Minghe Ancient Town is a must-visit treasure in winter. This thousand-year-old water town is even more tranquil after a snowfall, with bluestone paths reflecting white walls and black tiles, and wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys of houses along the flowing water. In the early morning, you can watch villagers make New Year's cakes on the spot; the steaming glutinous rice balls coated with soybean powder are soft, chewy, and sweet with every bite. During the Spring Festival, lantern festivals and opera performances fill the ancient streets with a festive atmosphere. The town's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, health-preserving teahouse, and Ming and Qing dynasty houses complement each other, and strolling through the 24 traditional covered walkways allows you to feel the rich culture of Jiangnan salt merchants. 2. Hot Spring Wellness: Winter Healing in Warm Soups Cixi's winter is made even more blissful by hot springs. The "Golden Soup" at the Hangzhou Bay Underwater Hot Spring Hotel is truly exceptional. The iron spring water, sourced from 2000 meters deep in the sea, is golden in color and contains various minerals. Combined with other specialty pools such as the Fragrance Spring and Herbal Health-Preserving Soup, it's both warming and nourishing. Hidden within a garden, the Dapeng Mountain Hot Spring transforms into a secluded paradise after the evening lights illuminate it. Just a 5-minute walk from the Dapeng Mountain Hotel, it's perfect for a warm family getaway. For those seeking a lighter, more relaxing experience, the Venice Foot Massage on Suntang South Road offers cinematic foot baths, allowing you to enjoy a movie while soaking your feet and unwind from your travels. 3. Exploring the Tranquil Beauty of Nature: Hangzhou Bay National Wetland Park is a wintering paradise for birds, home to over 140 species, including four species under first-class national protection. A stroll along the underwater promenade offers close encounters with flamingos and black swans. The newly added double kayaking program (128 RMB/hour) allows you to traverse the water forest and experience the tranquil romance of the wetland. The Shanglin Lake Yue Kiln Site is a top choice for culture enthusiasts. After a snowfall, the lake is serene, surrounded by white-clad mountains. Explore over 120 ancient kiln sites, experience the art of celadon throwing, and feel the craftsmanship behind the thousand-year-old "secret-color porcelain." II. Food Recommendations: A Winter-Limited Culinary Feast Traditional Flavors: The rice cake dumplings of Guanhaiwei Town are a winter solstice specialty, with soft, glutinous skins filled with pickled vegetables, red bean paste, and other fillings. They are best enjoyed fresh and delicious. The "mouse-shaped sugar balls" and preserved vegetable braised pork of Minghe Ancient Town, along with the braised goose and seaweed stir-fried rice cakes at Cixi Hotel Restaurant, showcase the flavors of eastern Zhejiang. Winter Specials: The seafood Laba porridge of Henghe Town is a unique delicacy. Glutinous rice is mixed with shrimp and crab, resulting in a fresh and delicious flavor, a local winter treat. The butterfly-themed Zhejiang cuisine at Feile Diezhuang in the city center boasts an elegant environment and a good reputation. III. Accommodation and Itinerary Suggestions Accommodation Options: We highly recommend Sanbi (3B) Huayuan Hotel (Cixi Ningbo University of Science and Technology Branch). Located in the central business district of Cixi City, the hotel offers convenient transportation and is surrounded by shopping centers and attractions. The rooms are extremely comfortable! I booked a deluxe king room, which was very spacious, with soft bedding and excellent soundproofing. I slept soundly until I naturally woke up! 3 Days 2 Nights Itinerary Reference: Day 1: Arrive in Cixi → Shanglin Lake Yue Kiln Site (Celadon DIY) → Check into a hot spring hotel → Relax in the hot spring Day 2: Minghe Ancient Town (Making rice cakes, visiting the lantern festival) → Hangzhou Bay National Wetland Park (Bird watching, kayaking) → Seafood dinner Day 3: Snow viewing and hiking at Kaolao Mountain → Purchase souvenirs such as celadon and rice cakes → Return trip IV. Practical Tips Best time to travel: December to February of the following year, especially during the Spring Festival (January 29th - February 12th) when the ancient town and park offer a variety of folk activities. Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Yuyao North/Ningbo Station, then rent a car or take a taxi to various attractions. Driving within the city is more flexible. The sunset over the Hangzhou Bay Bridge is absolutely stunning for photos. Clothing: Temperatures are low in mountainous and wetland areas, so windproof and warm clothing is recommended. For hiking or trekking, bring non-slip shoes. #TheseHotelsHaveAmazingViews #HighEndHotelsYouWillUnderstandAfterStayingAtTheirHotels #HotelAddict #UniqueHotels #OneStopResortHotel
