Stayed at the Hotel of a Lifetime! Reluctant to Leave

Anantara Shanghai Zhujiajiao | Experience the Secluded Aesthetics in a Ming and Qing Dynasty Ancient Residence🏮 Walking through the bluestone alleys of Zhujiajiao and opening the carved wooden window feels like stepping into a thousand-year-old dream hidden in the Jiangnan scenery🌿 This is not your typical hotel; it’s an ancient residence where you can touch the warmth of history. This short trip is simply legendary! Entering the room is instantly healing~ The Ming and Qing style mortise and tenon furniture carries a warm wooden fragrance, and the bedding is as soft as sinking into clouds☁️ The best surprise is the soundproofing—once the door is closed, the hustle and bustle of the ancient town is completely blocked out.

The hotel’s dining completely exceeded my expectations~ Breakfast is a delicate Jiangnan morning tea set, with soft and sweet Su-style pastries and freshly cooked wontons bursting with flavor, paired with a warm cup of osmanthus tea that warms both stomach and heart🌼 For dinner, you must try their local cuisine: the steamed white fish is tender and fresh without any fishy taste, and the braised pork is glossy, rich but not greasy—each bite is authentic Jiangnan flavor!
