The Jiyuan Inn was founded on January 8, 1912 (the first year of the Republic of China). The term "Jiyuan" comes from the "Old Stories of the Sun" written by Zhao Jishi, a famous scholar of the Qing Dynasty, and later, there was the famous literary work "Jiyuan Sent". The Jiyuan Inn, as a century-old and time-honored brand, echoes with it. It is truly the only remaining hotel in the Republic of China. The inn employs famous ancient garden masters to repair the old as before, promote cultural heritage, and highlight the past glory. It transforms the 2500 year old civilization and material achievements of reform and opening up of the ancient city into an exquisite meal for folk tourism, adding another beautiful scenery to the old city of Yangzhou, and presenting a period of travel time for tourists. Both are an organic fusion of ancient simplicity and modernity. Among them are the footprints of Zhu Ziqing, Mei Lanfang, Yu Dafu, Uncle Jiang Shangqing, and others who lived in the Republic of China. The hotel will also provide guests staying in Yangzhou with special "three knives" to provide services, such as breakfast buns at the century-old Fuchun Tea House, pedicure and cutting in the Yongning Spring bathroom, and haircuts at the Violet Barber Hall.
"This hotel was fantastic! My husband even praised my choice, saying we slept so comfortably and soundly, even better than at home, thanks to how quiet it was at night. The landlady was incredibly warm and friendly, patiently helping us with our itinerary, making reservations, and recommending delicious local food – she was just so kind. The hotel is located in the heart of Yangzhou's old town city center, making it super convenient to get everywhere. We could walk to He Garden, Ge Garden, Dongguan Street, and Pishi Street. It was incredibly convenient! No wonder Doubao highly recommended it; it's genuinely excellent value for money. Highly recommend!"
