Jiaoxi in the Rain! I Saw a Flowing Impressionist Painting

🌆 Jiaoxi Ancient Town｜A Pleasant Surprise, the True Essence of Jiangnan in My Heart Hey everyone, this business trip to Changzhou has given me so many delightful surprises! Though I came for work, amidst the busy schedule, I unexpectedly encountered the picturesque Jiaoxi Ancient Town—a true embodiment of "authentic Jiangnan"—and stayed at the fantastic Wärtsilä Hotel, making the experience absolutely perfect! After arriving in Changzhou, as my work temporarily wrapped up, dusk was already settling in. Hearing that Jiaoxi Ancient Town was nearby, I stepped into this timeless world with anticipation. The ancient town at night was serene and enchanting, with warm yellow lights casting a glow on the bluestone-paved paths, outlining the gentle contours unique to Jiangnan. The mottled white walls and black tiles faintly emerged in the night, as if whispering ancient tales. At that moment, I was deeply moved by the simplicity and poetic charm of this town, truly feeling the essence of "authentic Jiangnan." Carrying this beautiful memory, I returned to the Wärtsilä Hotel. As soon as I entered the lobby, the warm and welcoming staff greeted me with genuine smiles, instantly melting away my fatigue. During check-in, they were efficient and even patiently asked if I had any other needs. Their attentive service made me, a traveler far from home, feel completely at ease. Entering my reserved room, the luxurious decor immediately caught my eye. The layout was well-designed, and the furnishings were elegant. The silky smooth mulberry silk quilt felt heavenly—just draping it over myself felt like being wrapped in a gentle embrace, so comfortable that I quickly drifted into a sweet slumber. The next morning, while getting ready, I discovered a Lefant hair dryer in the bathroom—a thoughtful little surprise for someone like me who cares about appearance. After using it, my hair was fluffy and smooth, leaving me feeling refreshed and energized. Beyond that, the hotel also featured a laundry room and a gym. For business travelers, the laundry room is incredibly convenient, allowing us to keep our clothes clean anytime. The gym was well-equipped with brand-new, well-maintained machines, giving me the chance to exercise and unwind despite my busy schedule. At the restaurant, the breakfast spread was a feast for the eyes and palate. From traditional Chinese congee, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks to Western-style bread, milk, and fried eggs, along with fresh fruits and delicate pastries—everything was delicious and beautifully presented. I indulged in this hearty breakfast, fueling up for the day ahead. This business trip to Changzhou was a perfect blend of the Jiangnan charm of Jiaoxi Ancient Town and the exceptional service at the Wärtsilä Hotel. Everyone, if you visit Changzhou, be sure to check out these two spots and experience this unique beauty for yourself 💕 #ChangzhouBusinessTrip #WärtsiläHotel #JiaoxiAncientTown
