Just finished a slow trip to Kaiping, with a focus on Chikan Ancient Town, and the Meitang Hotel I stayed at this time was simply amazing! Its retro Nanyang-style design + super large

space + excellent location made me completely fall in love with this Lingnan ancient town ✨ 🏨【Travel Back to Republican Era Nanyang in One Second】 The hotel is nestled in the heart of Chikan Ancient Town, transformed from a century-old Qilou (arcade house). Black and white geometric floor tiles, carved elevator doors, brass chandeliers... every corner replicates the charm of the old overseas Chinese hometown. Our Deluxe Room is a spacious 50㎡, featuring a four-poster bed with a vintage dressing table, and a full marble bathroom. Every casual shot looks like a blockbuster from the Republican era! 📍【Unbelievably Good Location】 • Downstairs are the popular "Chikan Qilou Street" and the iconic bridge. Enjoy the empty scenes all to yourself in the early morning before tourists arrive. • The hotel has its own riverside cafe, where you can sip iced Americano and watch boats glide by – super chill. • Attractions like the Ancient Town Post Office and Situ's Library are all just a 5-minute walk away. 📸【Must-Visit Photo Spots】 1️⃣ Rooftop Infinity Pool: Capture panoramic views of the ancient town where the water meets the sky at dusk (suggest wearing a solid-colored swimsuit). 2️⃣ Lobby Spiral Staircase: Shoot upwards to capture the colorful stained-glass dome. 3️⃣ Room Balcony: The light and shadow are stunning when the sun shines diagonally at 8 AM. 4️⃣ Afternoon Tea Lounge: Peacock blue velvet sofas + vintage tea set combination. 💎【Hidden Gems】 • The almond cookies from the complimentary afternoon tea (14:00-17:00) are surprisingly delicious. • The rooftop pool is small but uncrowded, and the night view is even more stunning than during the day. • Breakfast is served on the garden terrace, where a flock of pigeons will "dine" with you (remember to guard your food). ⚠️【Practical Tips】 • If driving, you can park in the scenic area's parking lot; the hotel provides a shuttle service. • Your stay includes admission to the ancient town scenic area (saving 80 RMB/person). • It's recommended to choose a higher-floor room for better views and to avoid noise. What surprised me most this time was how the hotel elevated the Nanyang style with a sense of luxury, unlike the cheap feel of some imitation ancient buildings. Sisters who love taking photos can directly copy this homework – bring a cheongsam or a Hepburn-style dress, and you'll instantly capture "In the Mood for Love" movie stills!
