The most surprising thing about this trip to Nanjing was staying at Ruilan Courtyard Hotel. This quiet residence hidden in the hustle and bustle of the city is a great starting point for exploring Nanjing with its unique geographical location: the ruins of the Ming Palace and the Nanjing Museum are a 15-minute walk away, where you can touch the vicissitudes of the Ming Dynasty stone foundation and feel the liveliness of the Republic of China streets; it takes only 10 minutes by taxi to reach Zhongshan Scenic Area, where the golden dome of Wutong Avenue and the white pigeon dance on the music stage are frozen into the most poetic pictures in the camera; Confucius Temple and Laomendong are also within 3 kilometers, and you can easily find old brands such as Jiang Youji Pot Stickers and Xiaozheng Su Shaobing when you visit Qinhuai at night, and taste authentic Nanjing in the atmosphere of fireworks.
From Xiao Meng at the front desk to the guest room, the service details make people feel like spring breeze. The restaurant "Rui Manting" perfectly combines local flavors with the concept of health. The freshly made duck blood vermicelli soup for breakfast is rich, and the low-fat shepherd's purse dumplings are juicy; for dinner, we recommend trying the "Crab Roe Lion Head", which is stuffed with seasonal Gucheng Lake crab roe, fresh and not greasy; the chrysanthemum leaf egg soup for supper is refreshing and warms the stomach, putting a gentle end to the fatigue of a day of running.
Ruilan Courtyard is not only a resting place on the journey, but also a window to understand Nanjing. It connects the millennium context with a convenient location and interprets the mind of the "City of Universal Love" with sincere service. If you want to embrace the historical depth of Nanjing and desire to enjoy the comfort of modern travel, this is definitely the best choice. When I left the hotel, I quietly put the hotel's customized bookmark into my diary - this metal bookmark engraved with "This place where my heart is at peace is Jinling" is the most beautiful footnote of this journey.
