Things to do in Jingjiang

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, climb Fragrant Hills Meiling to explore the plum blossoms. The entire Fragrant Hills scenic area is divided into two parts: Meiling and the lake. The scenic area is beautiful, with gentle mountain slopes and well-constructed trails. Whether it is a stone slab road or a wooden boardwalk, it is very suitable for leisurely hiking and is also very friendly to the elderly and children.

The hotel stay was great! The lobby had a retro feel, and there were even educational activities to participate in. The butler provided a travel guide! I had a very satisfying time following the guide! Special praise to Ms. Lu Xiaojie, she was very attentive!

Jiaoxi Ancient Town is like a melodious pastoral poem, telling the warmth of time. The ancient bridge lies across, the stream gurgles, and the white walls and black tiles are scattered in an orderly manner. Walking on the bluestone road and touching the mottled old walls, it seems that you can hear the echo of history. This place is quiet and simple, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but full of fireworks. Whether it is under the warm spring sun or in the drizzle, Jiaoxi Ancient Town exudes a unique charm that makes people intoxicated and nostalgic.

This is the most worthwhile place to visit during the Spring Festival. Because during the holiday, you can drive directly to the visitor center in places where parking is impossible, and then go straight in to enter the scenic area. In the evening, many snack shops and restaurants are open, so you can eat and drink anything you can't find during the Spring Festival. There's also a musical fountain show and a sky lantern releasing activity for blessings in the evening. These sky lanterns cost 50 yuan each, and you can watch others release them – the effect is fantastic! There are also lantern and dragon lantern parades in the evening.

Shanghai After Dark — The Bund Never Sleeps ✨“Where the river reflects a thousand city lights and the future rises above a timeless waterfront. The Bund is more than a view — it’s Shanghai at its most magical, where elegance, ambition, and endless dreams meet.” 🌃❤

Visited October 16th, easy to navigate round, queues were anywhere from 5 minutes to 90 minutes (Tron). Good food options.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.

It's pretty good, quite fun. It's a small island, quite large, with many Buddha statues and other attractions, but climbing the mountain can be a bit tiring. You have to take a boat to get there, so it might not be the most exciting part, but it's still a nice place to relax alone on the weekend.

This last-minute hotel booking perfectly met all my needs: excellent cleanliness, attentive service, and a superb location. I'll definitely book this hotel every time I visit this city; I won't choose another one. The smart home control system was incredibly convenient; I could adjust the lighting and curtains without getting up. The housekeeping staff even tidied up our messy charging cables while cleaning. A perfect stay; I'll definitely book again. The location is amazing—a three-minute walk to the subway station, making it convenient to go anywhere. The breakfast selection was more varied than expected, and the local specialties were authentic and very satisfying. The bedding was soft and fluffy, ensuring a great night's sleep. The front desk service was incredibly attentive; they offered warm lemon water upon arrival. The soundproofing was far superior to other hotels in the same price range; even facing the street, we couldn't hear any noise, allowing us to sleep soundly. Traveling with elderly relatives and children, the staff thoughtfully arranged a room on a lower floor and even lent the children non-slip slippers—such thoughtful details! Before check-in, we received detailed directions from the staff, including a list of nearby restaurants and shopping spots, so we didn't need to do any planning ourselves. The receptionist proactively upgraded us to a river-view room; opening the window revealed a shimmering river view – a truly delightful surprise. The bathroom had a well-designed wet and dry separation, and the hot water came out quickly with good pressure, so showering in winter wasn't freezing at all. The room was spotless, with no dust in any corners, which was very reassuring. There's a 24-hour convenience store downstairs, and it's close to a popular food street, so shopping and dining are effortless and convenient. The value for money exceeded our expectations; for around 100 RMB, the experience was far better than many hotels I've stayed in that cost 300-400 RMB.
