Changzhou Qingguo Lane | The fleeting autumn between the long summer and winter

🌟Changzhou Hidden Gem | Family, I recently went to Changzhou and experienced an amazing trip that I have to share with you all🎉! First, let's talk about Qingguo Lane, one of Changzhou's ancient streets, formerly known as "Qian Guo Lane," established before the 9th year of the Wanli era in the Ming Dynasty (1581). It is renowned as the "Number One Lane of Jiangnan Scholars"😎. It is located in the southern central part of Changzhou's old city, in a fantastic location! To the south, it borders the ancient canal; to the east, it starts at Zhengsu Lane; to the west, it reaches Jinling Middle Road; it also leads directly to the South Street commercial center and to the north, the ancient village. The entire area stretches about 400 meters east to west and about 200 meters north to south, covering approximately 8.7 hectares. Although not very large, every corner is full of historical charm🧐. Walking through Qingguo Lane feels like traveling back in time. The antique architecture, stone-paved roads, and those doors and windows that carry the breath of time let you deeply feel the gentleness and tenderness of Jiangnan. This place is home to many famous historical residences, allowing you to truly experience a rich cultural heritage. It’s no wonder it’s a gathering place for scholars👏. After exploring Qingguo Lane, I stayed at the Huarun Hotel in the evening. Wow, it absolutely amazed me😍! As soon as I entered the room, I saw a welcome fruit basket, which felt so thoughtful. There was also a goodnight milk drink—having a glass before bed made my sleep incredibly sweet🥛. The room’s facilities were top-notch! There was an air purifier, humidifier, dehumidifier, and clothes dryer—such a complete setup! The drying rack was perfectly prepared, full marks for attention to detail💯. The toiletries were reassuringly sealed and non-refillable with a pleasant scent, plus a colorless and odorless 2-in-1 shampoo and body wash. All towels and bathrobes were individually sealed, hygienic and safe👍. The hotel also provided high-quality, thick-soled, reusable cotton slippers and disinfected, sealed macaron-colored shower slippers, offering plenty of choices. Comfortable double-blade razors, smart brand-name toilets, and thoughtfully provided disposable custom toilet seat covers—truly considerate🤩. A Xiaomi smart kettle with temperature control and insulation, a mini fridge and safe, and a handheld steamer—everything was practical and convenient. This trip to Changzhou left me with unforgettable memories of Qingguo Lane’s historical charm and the thoughtful service at Huarun Hotel. Everyone, come and experience this unique beauty here with me🥳!
