▪️There are many old streets and alleys in the Jiangnan region, and Yuehe Street in Jiaxing is one of them. It's not particularly famous, and I've visited twice. The first time was about six years ago. I came and went in a hurry, and it didn't seem to have any special features or highlights. ▪️This time, I decided to come here on a whim to have some tea. I chose the Qiancha Courtyard on Yuehe Street. Although it's in the scenic area, it's off the main street, so there are far fewer people, especially in the evening. ▪️Although the design of the scenic area is not much different from other old streets, there are more museums here, which adds a lot of cultural atmosphere. What surprised me even more was the old street under the setting sun, coupled with the sunset glow in the sky. It was like a different way to experience it, incredibly beautiful. ▪️Overall, it's an above-average ancient town and old street. If you come to Jiaxing, it's still worth a visit. The main reason being: you're already here! ▪️If you're traveling from out of town specifically for this, it's not necessary. 📍Address: No. 22, Jianguo North Road, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City 🚗Transportation: Buses 23, 24, and 6 can take you directly there. Driving is also convenient.

Without sharp corners, they are unique and a seasonal delicacy, offering an authentic taste of Jiaxing. 3. Dingsheng Cake: Shaped like a small pillow, with a soft and glutinous texture, filled with red bean paste, etc. Sweet but not greasy, it symbolizes good luck and is a popular snack in the streets, often given as a souvenir. 4. Wenhu Sauce Duck: Bright red in color, with tender duck meat and a rich marinade aroma. Take a bite, and the richness of the duck meat spreads on your tongue, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste. 🏨Hotel Accommodation 1. Nanhu District Hotels: Recommended Jiaxing Dragon Dream Hotel in Jiaxing's Nanhu District. It boasts a superior location, close to attractions such as Nanhu Lake and Yuehe Historic District, with complete surrounding facilities, spacious and comfortable rooms, and first-class service. It's convenient for traveling and quickly reaching city attractions. 2. Tongxiang City Hotels: Wuzhen Waterside Resort in Tongxiang offers great value for money. It's close to the Wuzhen Scenic Area, allowing you to quickly return to your room to rest after a day of sightseeing. The hotel has complete facilities, rich dining options, and offers stunning views of Wuzhen. 3. Jiashan County Hotels: If you choose to stay overnight after visiting Xitang, the Xitang Misty Rain Jiangnan Hotel in Jiashan County offers a beautiful environment and is close to the scenic area. Some rooms offer views of the ancient town or the countryside. The hotel has complete facilities, allowing you to enjoy a pleasant holiday. 💡Tips 1. The temperature difference between day and night in Jiaxing in February is relatively large. Remember to bring a warm coat to wear in the morning and evening to prevent catching a cold. 2. When tasting Jiaxing cuisine, the taste is generally sweet and fresh. If you are not used to it, you can communicate with the waiter in advance to adjust it and ensure a pleasant dining experience. 3. When visiting ancient towns, museums, and other attractions, please follow the rules, do not touch cultural relics, protect the environment, and travel responsibly. My friends, Jiaxing, the place I came to because of "Dreamy Water Town," is full of charm. Plan your trip now and embark on this Jiangnan journey💖!

Four Points by Sheraton Jiaxing, the perfect choice for a spring getaway🌟 I recently stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton Jiaxing, a Marriott hotel, and it was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it! There's currently a promotion offering 4,000 bonus points, valid until the end of March. Don't miss out! 💰 Price: I booked a City View King Room for CNY 500. As a Platinum Elite member, I was lucky enough to be upgraded to the Executive Floor, which offered incredible value. At this price point, the service and room upgrade were truly worthwhile. 🚗 Location & Transportation: Jiaxing South Railway Station is over ten kilometers from the hotel. Jiaxing Railway Station is much closer. From Jiaxing Railway Station, take bus No. 3 to the "Zhongshan West Road Changxiu Street" stop. The hotel lobby is just across the street. For a quicker option, a taxi ride is affordable, costing around CNY 10 and taking about 10 minutes. For those traveling from Shanghai, I recommend taking train Z247 (Shanghai South Railway Station - Jiaxing Railway Station) on Friday evening. Be sure to book tickets in advance, as this train is very popular and often sells out. 🅿️ Parking: The hotel has its own parking lot. While the number of spaces is limited, don't worry if you arrive late. There's flexible parking available in front of the hotel lobby and in the surrounding open areas. 🛠️ Amenities/Facilities: - Lobby: The lobby is spacious and bright, with a comfortable seating area. On sunny days, the lobby bar on the first floor is a great place to enjoy coffee, beer, or relax outdoors. - Fitness Center: Located on the 6th floor, just down the aisle to the right of the elevators. It's equipped with treadmills, dumbbells, and other basic fitness equipment, plus hot water and towels. When I went at 11am, it wasn't crowded, making for a comfortable workout. The swimming pool is right outside the fitness center, but it wasn't open yet when I was there. - Breakfast Restaurant: Also on the 6th floor, directly across from the elevators. Breakfast is served from 6:30am to 10:00am, not 10:30am! They offer a wide variety of food, including bread, porridge, stir-fried dishes, noodles, coffee, and tea. The hotel was quite busy on the weekend at the end of March, and there was a queue outside the restaurant by 9am, so plan your breakfast time accordingly. I highly recommend the small bread rolls, especially the ones in picture 11. Even I, someone who doesn't usually eat much bread, couldn't resist having three! - Room Amenities: The pillows and duvet were incredibly soft and comfortable. I didn't adjust the air conditioning, which was set at a perfect 23 degrees, and slept soundly all night. The bathroom was a good size and had both a bathtub and a shower. The desk was well-equipped with office supplies, a thoughtful touch. The only minor drawback was the lack of laundry bags in the room, though you can request one from the front desk. 🏘️ Room Type/Layout: I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite! The layout was well-designed, maximizing the space for both relaxation and activities. I had been debating between the Jiaxing Marriott and this hotel, but ultimately chose this one due to a flash sale. It turned out to be the right decision. 🧹 Soundproofing/Cleanliness: The hotel was exceptionally clean, and the room was spotless. The soundproofing was also excellent. Closing the door blocked out all the outside noise, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. 💗 Other Tips: Compared to the Four Points by Sheraton Suzhou Park, the Jiaxing hotel is noticeably newer. If you're looking for a weekend getaway this spring, Jiaxing is the place to be! Wuzhen Xizha Scenic Area is about a 40-minute drive from the hotel. You can easily combine your stay with a visit to Wuzhen to enjoy the spring scenery and experience the charm of the water town.
