My hidden gem in Nanjing…

Many people dream of visiting the beautiful city of Nanjing. They look forward to traveling to this ancient capital, dressed in a qipao, strolling leisurely through the streets and alleys, immersing themselves in the unique elegance of the Republican era, and experiencing the authentic life of the old southern city. In the blend of old times and modern civilization, touch the mottled traces left by time, explore the stories deep in history, and rediscover the long-lost peace and warmth. This time, I stayed at the "Jinling Night Mooring Junyue Hotel" by the Qinhuai River and experienced a poetic stay in Nanjing… The hotel is filled with elements of the Republican era, perfectly echoing the profound historical heritage of Nanjing. Stepping into it is like traveling back in time to the old days of the Republic of China. Various old-fashioned telephones, 28-bar bicycles, cameras, and film… create a unique atmosphere of the Republican era. The room is spacious and comfortable, and the oversized bed is simply "sleep-friendly," allowing me to stretch out and relax. What's even more surprising is that there's a large jacuzzi in the room. After a tiring day of exploring, taking a bath in the room is pure bliss. During the day, you can visit the Confucius Temple and Laomendong, see the ancient houses where the people of the old southern city used to live, and take pictures of the beautiful flowers and plants. April and May are the blooming seasons for wisteria and trumpet creeper. In Laomendong, wisteria and trumpet creeper are planted in the alleys and beside the houses, blending perfectly with the Jiangnan architectural landscape of Laomendong, forming a unique and beautiful scenery… In the evening, you can take a boat tour on the Qinhuai River outside the hotel and enjoy the night view of Nanjing in the shimmering lights and the sound of paddles. Special praise to the young man at the front desk, who is not only handsome but also very attentive. He upgraded my room for free and gave me a fruit plate, which instantly made me feel even more welcome… The hotel's breakfast is also super rich, with various porridges, fresh fruits, and refreshing vegetables, starting the day full of energy. This stay was fantastic. If I have friends coming to Nanjing next time, I will definitely recommend they stay here… 📍Address: L1-49AB, No. 80 Gongyuan Street, Pingjiangfu Road, Qinhuai District 🚒Transportation: Subway Line 3, Confucius Temple Station, Exit 2, a few hundred meters walk
