Property Description
A millennium old town, with a world of shared prosperity. I found a peaceful river view homestay in Tongli Ancient Town. Here, time seems to have come to a standstill. In the morning, I pushed open the window and saw the misty river surface rising in front of my eyes. The local grandfather has already started a day of fishing and started a new day with the sound of paddling. The interior of the homestay features a simple Chinese style, and when you open the door, you can see the weeping willows by the river. Here, you can let go of all the distractions and enjoy British afternoon tea to the fullest, feeling the warmth of the sunshine gently brushing your cheeks. The night in Tongli Ancient Town is the most charming, with lanterns of all sizes strung together along the riverbank, as if wearing a red necklace for the river. The restaurants and bars on both sides of the river began to liven up, sitting by the window, watching the night scenery, listening to the singing, as if forgetting all the troubles. The significance of traveling lies not in the destination, but in the scenery along the way. The river view homestay in Tongli Ancient Town made me feel the beauty of "leisurely life like clouds and wild cranes.". I don't know where my next trip will be, but I will always cherish the beautiful memories of this time in Tongli Ancient Town.

The inn is a lovely place. Contacted the host the day before for check-in details. We connected on WeChat, he gave me a waypoint for gps when booking a car. Since the inn has scattered buildings depending on the room you booked, the met me at the designated spot to take me and my luggage to my room. This is an ancient town so the streets are slabs of rock and uneven cobblestones. Having him take me in on his tuk tuk is definitely a lifesaver. The host was very warm, helpful, and provided map with suggested route to tour the town. He’s also very reachable on WeChat for anything you need or recommendations. On checkout day, he once again took me and my luggage back out of town and waited until my car arrived, then loaded the luggage as well. He also gave me a departing gift. What a great stay and great host, highly recommended. Little tip, if you are able to store some luggage at the airport or train station, it’s better to bring only what you need during the stay and leave the rest behind. Makes the trek in easier for everyone.

We absolutely loved our weekend at this hotel. The owner, Jack, was so helpful and speaks good English. He and his daughter met us outside the ancient town to transport our bags and lead the way. He gave us a map of the town and lots of helpful recommendations. The location is perfect - right next to the canal but on a quiet street. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable, with air conditioning, complimentary water bottles, and lovely decor. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Tongli!

At Tongli metro station, there is a tram that takes one to the beautiful ancient Tongli (Use the bus tab instead of subway for this leg in your app). Upon arrival, after contacting Xu (Lanyun manager), he has been passionately helpful, picking up our luggage as we explore the beautiful town. He was friendly and replied readily to our every need, like recommending good eating places, which definitely helped facilitate our vacation here. The room is more beautiful than the pictures, with its harmonious oriental room design and well coordinating decor and colours. The facilities are adequate to our needs, hot water, wi-fi, clean towels, and decent location. We loved our time here, the pretty courtyard in front of the room, the warmth of the hotel manager, the tastefully design of our room, the vibe of this quiet beautiful old town and the enjoyable boat ride! Upon departure, the manager sent us off in his motor vehicle, beginning and ending this trip hassle-free. Wholeheartedly recommended. (Note: entry to the ancient town is free after 5pm but you won't get to enter a few of the tourist spots and access to all of Tongli during the day. Ticket is 100rmb per adult. )

1. Free pick-up from/to Tongli Water Town Entrance to/from the Mingshu accommodation upon WeChat notifying Arrival time/Departure
2. Given an upgraded Room from 1 Queen Bed (River View) Category that is a bit distance to 1 Single Bed + 1 Queen Bed Type nearer to Water Town Entrance,
3. Patiently waited approx. 1-hr delayed of our arrival at Water Town Entrance affected by heavy traffic,
4. A good location to explore around Water Town,
5. A helpful Mingshu Owner (Jack) who helped to book Cab via DiDi for next destination,
6. Jack also helped to transport luggages & backpacks along with his fast responses to Inquiries,
7. Good thing is the bed comes with Electric heated mattress layer on top of thick Mattress to keep warm for Winter season,
8. This Mingshu is highly recommended

The room is pretty good!! I like the scenery from the room which is nice for couple to stay over. The room is tidy and clean when we first came, the layout of the room is like the ancient Chinese architecture which makes me feel excited to stay. The shopkeeper (Mr. Xu), greeted us affably and served me and my boyfriend as nice as possible as he could. As a foreigner to stay here, I felt a sense of belonging like i was staying in my own house. Overall, I have been staying here for 8 days and I strongly recommend u guys to stay here!!!!!
GUYS ITS A MUST TO STAY PLSSSSSS
You’re gonna miss smtg if u don’t choose to stay here
