Junlan Resort Hotel in Xiangjiadang, Jiaxing

A hotel with a distinct Ming Dynasty style that instantly transports you to Shanghai of the 1930s. The hotel lobby offers cheongsam rentals, and wearing one allows you to take many stunning photos within the hotel. If you like photography, you might consider bringing your own cheongsam. The hotel is suitable for families with children. You can spend an entire holiday without leaving the hotel, which is especially friendly for families with kids and the elderly. The hotel has a swimming pool and a gym, but these facilities are quite basic. The pool water is rather cold and somewhat dirty, so these areas are not particularly recommended. Regarding dining: The hotel has a Chinese restaurant where you can order dishes according to personal taste, and the food is quite good. There is a buffet in the evening, which is very affordable at 138 yuan per person during holidays. The standard breakfast is also good at 58 yuan per person, though there are fewer dishes, with a focus on whole grains. There are prepared vegetable salads, as well as a selection of fruits and quality vegetables, which is very friendly for those who are health-conscious. Regarding accommodation: The hotel environment is nice, and the rooms have a Ming Dynasty style. Standard rooms are about 40-50 square meters, quite spacious, with large balconies for sunbathing and enjoying the view. We went there during the May Day holiday and booked two months in advance. The rooms were over 500 yuan each, which is a great value for money. It is recommended to book as early as possible for the best prices. Regarding transportation: One of the hotel's highlights is its outdoor area, which is directly by the lake. You can drive or cycle around the lake. The hotel offers tandem bicycle rentals. During the day, you can drive or cycle, and there are many places to pitch tents, as well as a children's playground and an artificial beach (tickets required). Evening walks by the lake offer beautiful scenery and fresh air, making for a very comfortable experience. Along the lake, there is also a forest of water fir trees with towering giants and winding paths, which is very pleasant to walk through and great for photography. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk from the hotel to the forest on the left-hand side. If you don't want to walk, you can borrow a bike from the hotel. The bikes are located by the lake, just outside the hotel. To the right of the hotel is the direction to the beach amusement park and camping area, with beautiful scenery all around the lake. The above is for your reference. Overall, the hotel is very suitable for a leisurely vacation.
