Yangzhou | Stay in a Romantic Chinese-style Garden

In May, Yangzhou is a canvas of lush greens in varying shades, with willow waves and tree shadows—gentle, graceful, and full of vitality, like a poetic ink-wash painting. Especially at this time, Slender West Lake has shed the slight chill of early spring but hasn't yet reached the sweltering heat of midsummer—everything is just perfect. Yangzhou State Guest Hotel offers exclusive access to the lake, as it's located right within the scenic area. Staying here means you're already strolling through a garden. The hotel's room options are dazzling. Whether it's the "Building 8 Fufang Garden" designed by CCD, the "Building 18 Guanfang Garden" with its dedicated ladies' floor, or the "Building 19 Hong Garden," where some rooms offer views of Slender West Lake, each will shatter any stereotypes of state guesthouses. Calling Yangzhou State Guest Hotel the pinnacle of local resort hotels is no exaggeration at all. "Flowers and willows line both banks by the water, towers and pavilions stretch all the way to the hills." At Yangzhou State Guest Hotel, you can sip tea on a painted boat while admiring the lake and garden pavilions, stroll along the long dyke to enjoy willows and blossoms, or unwind in the hot springs—all authentic ways to experience Yangzhou's enchanting scenery.
