Prime location at Confucius Temple! A charming Nanjing stay under the phoenix trees

The Lingyuan Road by Zhongshan Mountain is beautiful in all seasons, while Yilu Road near Gulou exudes a nostalgic Republic-era literary charm. Upon reflection, both are lined with phoenix trees - how could Nanjing be complete without them? By the Qinhuai River lies "Wutong" (meaning "no difference"), whose very name feels welcoming. Its black textured facade exudes sophistication, but the real surprise begins the moment you step inside. The micro-cement bathroom walls and windows framing panoramic Qinhuai River views create instant delight. Adjacent to Confucius Temple, Laomendong, and Egret Island Park... this is where classic Nanjing itineraries begin. For the best views... Timeless moments among phoenix trees and gray bricks Tucked in an alley beside the Imperial Examination Museum, three Republic-era villas stand shaded by phoenix trees. Gray brick walls with stained-glass windows and even a vintage bronze doorbell surround a courtyard with century-old pomegranate trees. Sipping tea at the stone table feels like stepping back in time. About the rooms: • Qinhuai View King Room: 270° bay windows face Confucius Temple's upturned eaves, impeccably clean; • Wutong Terrace Room features a balcony with rattan furniture and Gongfu tea set. Mornings begin with Rain Flower tea while watching leaves drift onto gray tiles - pure serenity; • Family Room: Children's tent + rocking horse + custom toiletries kit
