Stay in Laomendong | Huazhu

Yingguitu Boutique Homestay. This time I took my child to see the lantern festival around Laomendong for several days, and I had a good time~ Laomendong is located to the east of Zhonghuamen in Qinhuai District, Nanjing. Because it is located to the east of Nanjing's southern gate (i.e., Zhonghuamen), it is called "Mendong", opposite to Laomenxi, and is an important part of Nanjing's Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt. Mendong is a gathering place for traditional residences in Nanjing, and has been a place where merchants from the south of the Yangtze River, cultural gatherings, and large families have lived since ancient times. Recently, there is also the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, and there are colorful lanterns on the roadside, especially the big dragon lanterns are really hot! It feels different to see during the day and at night~ No wonder some people say that if you return to Nanjing without seeing the lanterns, the lanterns in Nanjing are full of charm... Sitting on the Qinhuai River, this historical and cultural river, looking down the waterway, it is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the lantern festival has a deep historical heritage and unique cultural inheritance; the lanterns are of various shapes and colorful... Take the child to stamp and check in, take beautiful photos, buy beautiful Hanfu, this year is really happy! This time we stayed in Huazhu·Yingguitu Homestay for two days, and I highly recommend it. It is very convenient to take the children, and you can go back to the homestay to rest at any time when you are tired~ Highlights: Located near the west gate of Laomendong Scenic Area, in the Changle Dujie area, here are pink walls and black tiles, antique, and it has a different flavor when it rains. Location: The core area of Xinjiekou business district and Fuzimiao Laomendong business district The sister of the homestay is super nice, mineral water, small snacks, small fruits and some coffee etc. can be eaten directly~ It is very friendly for children~ Especially the beef jerky and small cheese🧀 taste really good! There are also umbrellas☂️ at the door, just when we go out It was raining and you can take an umbrella at the door~ Surroundings: You can walk to Laomendong Scenic Area, directly to Jiezi Garden, Dabaoen Temple, Nanjing City Wall Museum and Nanjing City Wall, about 1-2 kilometers from Fuzimiao Qinhuai Scenic Belt Scenic Area, Egret Island Park. Adjacent to the subway station, the transportation is convenient, and you can "subway tour Nanjing", and you can reach most of the attractions in Nanjing by subway.
