When I was planning my trip to Nanjing, I immediately set my sights on the Baiyulan Hotel Hushu Branch in Jiangning District. I was drawn to its convenient location ("right off the highway exit + free parking"), but I ended up being completely charmed by the lively atmosphere and thoughtful service! After a 3-day stay, I didn't want to leave. It's officially my top pick for "best value in Nanjing," and I absolutely have to recommend it to everyone! 🌟 Transportation is a breeze! Getting here is super easy, no matter how you travel. ▪️ Road trippers rejoice! Navigate to "8 Ruize Road, Jinbao Commercial Plaza." The hotel is just 5 minutes from the highway exit, and there's ample free parking right outside! Before leaving, simply scan the QR code at the front desk for free exit – no need to reach for your wallet. A dream come true for lazy travelers like me. ▪️ Public transport friendly: There's a bus stop right across from the hotel with direct routes to Jiangning Wanda Plaza and Jurong West Station. A 13-minute taxi ride to the China Pharmaceutical University subway station costs only ¥20, which is 100 times more comfortable than squeezing onto the subway during rush hour! ▪️ Business travelers, look no further: The hotel is a 15-minute drive from Jurong West Station, saving commuters working nearby a half-hour each way. Who wouldn't want to sleep in a little longer? 🍜 A food lover's paradise downstairs! Enjoy a variety of delicious meals from morning till night. ▪️ Breakfast: The hotel's breakfast buffet is a feast for the senses! ▪️ Late-night snacks: In the evening, the street food stalls downstairs come alive! From crayfish and grilled oysters to spicy hot pot, there's something for everyone. Grab an iced milk tea from Mixue Ice Cream & Tea or Luckin Coffee next door for double the happiness. ▪️ Nearby dining and shopping: An 8-minute drive takes you to the East Suburb Outlet Mall. After a day of shopping, treat yourself to a hot pot feast at the mall. The perfect ending to a foodie's day! 🛏️ Experience the comfort firsthand! Every detail is designed for maximum relaxation. ▪️ Practical dry and wet separation: The bathroom features a glass partition separating the shower and toilet areas, allowing two people to get ready simultaneously without bumping into each other. The showerhead provides a gentle, spa-like experience, and the floor stays dry afterward – a huge plus for families traveling with children! ▪️ Hidden gem alert: The self-service laundry room with dryers on the 3rd floor is a lifesaver during the rainy season! Laundry detergent and fabric softener are provided free of charge. Simply toss your dirty clothes in, and in an hour, you'll have fresh, clean clothes to wear. No more lugging wet clothes back home! 💁 Impeccably attentive service! Feel right at home, just like staying with friends. ▪️ Your every need catered to: Even if you crave instant noodles in the middle of the night, the front desk will have some for sale. 📍 In short: Unbeatable value for money. Book with confidence!

The rooms are thoroughly cleaned every day, with a separated wet and dry bathroom + free bottled water/tea bags. Even my cleanliness-obsessed colleague couldn't help but praise it. The biggest surprise was the self-service laundry room. The clothes from the dryer are warm and fluffy, so you can wear new clothes every day even on a week-long business trip! 🍜There are night market food stalls + Mixue Ice Cream & Tea + Luckin Coffee downstairs. It's so great to have barbecue skewers and milk tea at night! The breakfast omelets with freshly ground soy milk are so good that you won't get tired of eating them for three days in a row. If you get up late, you can also get a mystery box breakfast to take back to your room. It's a thoughtful little perk for workers～ 🚗Drivers will be ecstatic! It's a 5-minute drive from the expressway exit, and the free parking lot is so big you can drive around in circles. Scanning the code to exit is super convenient. Although it's 6 km from the subway station, a taxi ride only costs CNY 15 and takes 13 minutes. 💼What touched me the most was the service details: The reception staff were very friendly. When I checked out, I realized I had forgotten to take my charger, and they sent it back via SF Express with collect payment. I'm a fan of this service attitude! 📍Located in Jinbao Commercial Plaza, Hushu, Jiangning. Workers whose companies are near Jurong West Railway Station, take note! With breakfast for two + laundry, I'm going to take advantage of this deal first!

In the spring, the warm sun shines on the small town of Jurong. Stepping into Gexian Lake Park in the city center, this urban garden with Taoist culture as its soul and historical buildings as its bones has both the gracefulness of the Jiangnan water town and carries a thousand-year-old cultural context. Ancient-style buildings such as Santai Pavilion, Dasheng Pagoda, and Gexian Temple dot the lakeside like pearls, making people linger. 🔆Recommendation reason The uniqueness of Gexian Lake Park lies in the fact that it reconnects scattered historical fragments, such as Liang Dynasty Taoist temples, Song Dynasty pagoda relics, and Ming and Qing Dynasty academies, using gardens as a carrier. It is very suitable for a supplementary itinerary after a one-day trip to Maoshan. ♨️Highlights of the Park ✔️Santai Pavilion: Climb up and take in the view of the millennium of culture Enter the park from the south gate and stroll counterclockwise along the lake, and you will see an antique pavilion. The pavilion was first built in the 12th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1639) for the purpose of revitalizing literature and was rebuilt on the lakeside in 2004 according to the ancient system. The pavilion is 20 meters high, with three-story flying eaves like wings, and the carved beams and painted buildings fully display the simplicity and grandeur of Ming Dynasty architecture. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this place was an important center for imperial examinations in Jiangnan. Between the buildings, spring flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is sweet. ✔️Dasheng Pagoda: Nine floors of Lingxiao, dialogue with the legacy of Song and Ming dynasties A nine-story, eight-sided Song Dynasty-style tower reaches into the sky. This is the Great Sage Pagoda. The ancient city of Jurong originally had the Chongming Temple, an ancient temple from the Jin Dynasty in Xijing. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, there was an eminent monk from the Western Regions who traveled all over the Yangtze River and Huai River regions and was called the "Great Sage of Sizhou." In the Song Dynasty, the people, out of gratitude to the great saint, built a pagoda in Chongming Temple where the great saint preached and worshipped him. First built during the Taiping Xingguo period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the rebuilt Great Sage Pagoda is 89.5 meters high, with a golden roof and red railings, and copper bells hanging from the eaves that ring in the wind. Take the tower elevator directly to the top floor, overlooking the city of Jurong, the sparkling Gexian Lake nearby, and the dark green peaks of Maoshan Mountain in the distance. ✔️Gexian Temple and Ge Hong Memorial Hall: a holy place for Taoist medicine, where the alchemy furnace still exists Gexian Temple on the southeast side of the lake is the core cultural landscape of the park. In order to commemorate the Taoist doctor Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and his great-grandfather Ge Xuan, it was rebuilt in 2004 on the site of the Liang Dynasty Taoist temple. The main hall of the temple houses statues of Ge Xuan and Ge Hong. The adjacent Ge Hong Memorial Hall systematically displays the life and achievements of this "founder of alchemy". The name of the museum was written by Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou. The museum displays a replica of "Emergency Prescriptions for the Elbow", ancient alchemy instruments, etc., revealing Ge Hong's advanced wisdom in the fields of medicine and chemistry. ✔️Lake view: The curved bridge of the academy, a different view at every step Walking along the lakeside, the green tiles and white walls of Huayang Academy near the west gate and the island in the middle of the lake complement each other beautifully. This academy, which was first built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, was once responsible for the imperial examinations in Jiangnan and is now being rebuilt here.
