Not Suzhou! Live out your Jiangnan garden dreams with your kids.

This seriously underrated family-friendly hotel features three groups of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is said that it took ten years to dismantle and relocate them from various locations before reconstructing them on-site. The similarly styled Guangfulin Prime Minister's Mansion Hotel in Shanghai costs upwards of 1500+. 🏯The Beauty of Ancient Architecture The hotel meticulously relocated and rebuilt three ancient buildings: Chengqing Hall, Sixi Hall, and Gengdu Hall. Their carved beams and painted rafters showcase the charm of bygone eras. Chengqing Hall, a former official residence from the Kangxi period, boasts exquisite wood carvings. Sixi Hall, serving as the hotel lobby, is constructed with ginkgo wood and features a "four waters returning to the hall" design, highlighting the beauty of Jiangnan architecture. In Gengdu Hall, you can even see letters exchanged between Wang Yangming and his Japanese friends, creating a rich cultural atmosphere. 🌲Jiangnan Garden Landscape Pavilions, terraces, and towers are scattered throughout the grounds, complemented by rockeries and ponds, and surrounded by lush greenery and flowers. Every step reveals a picturesque scene, like walking through a painting. 🪁Abundant Family Activities In addition to riding the small train, you can experience spring plowing and harvesting, listen to Mr. Fu's stories about ancient architecture, try your hand at making Liangnong cake, and even create your own kite to fly. 🚂In March, amidst blooming flowers, the small train travels through golden fields of rapeseed flowers, creating a truly idyllic and dreamy scene. 👗Bring your own Hanfu if you have one, or use the Hanfu experience voucher provided by the hotel. Walking through these ancient buildings in traditional attire is a truly immersive experience! 👣Nearby Attractions - Wang Yangming's Former Residence: 8 km from the hotel - Longquan Mountain: 8 km from the hotel - Yangming Ancient Town: 9 km from the hotel - Siming Lake: 20 km from the hotel - Hemudu Site: 30 km from the hotel - Siming Mountain: 56 km from the hotel
