[2025 Nanjing Stay] Travel Guide for Ascott Xuanwu Lake Nanjing (Updated May)

The weekend sunlight streamed through the curtains and onto my face, warm and cozy. Today is a good day. My wife and I decided to take our son, Xiaobao, to experience the Ascott Lakeside Nanjing. It not only has spacious and comfortable rooms, but also a children's playground specially prepared for children. It is simply the ideal choice for families like us to travel. 🏠 A Home Away From Home As soon as you step into the hotel, you are greeted by a sense of warmth. The rooms are spacious and bright, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows allow us to directly enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nanjing. When Xiaobao saw the smart toilet and heated toilet seat in the room, he was so excited that he called it the "future toilet" and insisted that I tell him stories about future technology. 🎈 Happy Times in the Children's Playground The hotel's children's playground has become Xiaobao's favorite. There are slides, ball pools, and various educational toys here. Every time I play with him, I can find new fun. Looking at Xiaobao's happy smile, I feel like I'm back in childhood. Sometimes, I pretend to be defeated by him and let him win once. The little guy looks so proud and cute. 🌳 Lakeside Scenery Within Reach Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. The scenery here is picturesque, the lake water is crystal clear, and the surrounding trees are shady, making it a great place for walking and taking pictures. We rented a small boat and rowed on the lake. Xiaobao pointed excitedly and asked me from time to time if there was a Dragon King in the lake. 🚇 Convenient Transportation to Explore More The hotel is very close to Metro Line 1, making it very convenient to travel. Whether you are going to Xinjiekou for shopping or taking a train at Nanjing Station, you don’t need to worry about transportation. We also went to Xinmofan Road, where there are many authentic Nanjing snacks. Xiaobao praised the duck blood vermicelli soup and said that he would take it back for his friends to try. This trip to Nanjing was made even better because we chose the Ascott Lakeside Nanjing. If you are also planning to visit Nanjing, you may wish to consider this place. I believe it will also leave you with wonderful memories.

When I came to Nanjing to watch the Lantern Festival, I deliberately did not choose a hotel around Confucius Temple because most of them are old hotels and there is traffic congestion. I found this Singaporean brand apartment hotel on the Internet. The new facilities are very good, and it is only a five-minute walk to Xuanwu Lake. You can also climb the city wall to enjoy the scenery of Xuanwu Lake. There is a subway station downstairs, and transportation is very convenient. The room is also very big. The king-size bed room we booked is 50 square meters and is equipped with a Bosch washer-dryer and tableware, giving it a strong sense of life. Recommended stay [Awesome]

In Nanjing, a city full of ancient charm and vitality, a brand-new apartment-style hotel has risen, determined to become an industry benchmark. It is located by Xuanwu Lake, just one stop away from the train station, and only two stops from Hongshan Zoo. The convenient transportation makes it easy to reach all parts of the city. Stepping into the hotel, cutting-edge technology and high-end facilities complement each other, and every detail exudes quality. The large gym is equipped with all kinds of brand-name fitness equipment to satisfy your desire to sweat; the beautiful swimming pool is sparkling, allowing you to swim and enjoy a pleasant time. The hotel rooms are spacious and bright, with a panoramic view of the city outside the window, allowing you to feel the prosperity of the city in comfort. The service staff are enthusiastic and thoughtful, and every encounter is accompanied by a warm greeting and meticulous care, making you feel at home. There is also a cute cat at the hotel entrance, well-behaved and clingy, adding a touch of warmth to your stay. When you finish a day of sightseeing and return here with a tired body, the warm hotel is like a warm harbor, washing away your fatigue and leaving only beautiful memories.

📍Attraction address: Nanjing City Wall, Big Tree Roots Climbing the City Entrance Nanjing City Wall Ascott Nanjing Huamao Serviced Apartments Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area 🚗 Transportation to attractions: It is an 8-minute walk from Ascott Nanjing Huamao Serviced Apartments. 👍️Must-see attraction: Nanjing Ming City Wall - North Line 🎟️Ticket information: 10 yuan for adults, 5 yuan for students. 💗Other tips: On a sunny and warm winter afternoon, Xuanwu Lake will not be deserted and desolate. From Ascott Nanjing China World Trade Center, walk for 8 minutes, pass the traffic light intersection of Central Road and Xinmofanma Road, and take the path next to Xuanwu Lake Tunnel to reach Nanjing City Wall - Dashugen Dengchengkou. Climb up the steps and you can appreciate the charm of Jinling from a different perspective on the Ming and Qing city walls. The northern line of the city wall tour is small and exquisite, not crowded, and no reservation is required. The entire floor is made of ancient wall tiles. Remember to wear shoes with thicker and softer soles so that you can relax and stroll around for an entire afternoon. Suitable for young couples 💑 or a person to relax and daydream, and also suitable for photography enthusiasts. The sun at three or four o'clock in the afternoon 🌞 shines on the battlements of the city wall, naturally casting a light and dark dividing line on the ground, running straight from north to south. Go 1,500 meters north to reach Shen Ce Gate, and go 800 meters south to reach Xuan Wu Gate. To the east, there is a panoramic view of Xuanwu Lake and Purple Mountain, and Nanjing Station is clearly visible. The pink and bright yellow duck boats 🚤 add a touch of life to the clear blue lake, and the crowds of tourists flow in. How can this be compared to the scenery of winter in January? To the west is the bustling atmosphere of the modern city of Jinling, with its hustle and bustle of traffic. Stand at different heights, with your elbows lightly resting on the wall, overlook the lake and mountains to the left 👈, or take in the bustling city to the right 👉, whatever you wish. Looking up, I see the clear blue sky, and my heart is pure and clear. In the evening, you can replenish your energy at the food court on the basement floor of Ascott China Central Place Nanjing, or try beef pot stickers, rice dumplings, or Jinling duck blood vermicelli soup at the local restaurants on nearby Nanchang Road. Life can be full of romance, but after the eyes have had their fill of scenery, the desires of the stomach and appetite must also be satisfied. Haha, this is my other interpretation of "Only after washing away the makeup can the truth be seen, and after returning, the fragrance is still as good as before", which is excellent. ✡The Nanjing City Wall is the only surviving city wall of the Ming Dynasty capital of China. Construction began in 1366 AD and took 28 years to complete. It consists of four city walls: the palace city, the imperial city, the capital city, and the outer city. The outer city wall is 60 kilometers long and the capital city wall is 35.267 kilometers long, making it the longest brick and stone city wall in the world. The Nanjing City Wall has 13 city gates, 2 large water gates, about 13,616 battlements, and about 200 shelters. It is a culmination of ancient China's military defense facilities and city wall construction technology.

📍Attraction address: Yuejiang Tower 🚗 Transportation to attractions: Take a taxi🚌 👍️Must-visit attraction: Yuejiang Tower 🎟️Tickets: 40 yuan/adult 💗Other tips: A sunny day is the best reason to visit Yuejiang Tower in the Stone City - Nanjing. The clouds are light and the wind is gentle. Under the sunshine, the golden sycamore leaves and ginkgo trees 🌲 against the background of blue sky and white clouds are the most direct way to relax and enjoy the eyes. Climb up the Yuejiang Tower, the most low-key of the four buildings, to overlook the Yangtze River Bridge and then take a stroll around the ancient city wall. It takes into account both cultural landscapes and historical relics, integrating mountains, rivers, cities and forests. Before I knew it, it was almost dusk. Although the sunset 🌅 was beautiful, the coolness would suddenly hit, especially on the north side of the mountain, where there were few tourists and it felt deserted. An unexpected joy was seeing the stubborn red leaves on the old city wall, which looked like a burning flame 🔥, and the kitten I encountered seemed like an elf silently guarding this place 🧚‍♂️. It sensed my good intentions and actually signaled that I could stroke its head. It turned over on its belly and acted coquettishly, following me for a long time before reluctantly saying goodbye. When I returned to the room of Ascott Nanjing China World Trade Center, the sunset was already outside the window and my stomach was growling. Fortunately, I had an induction cooker and tableware. I cooked some noodles and paired them with the roast duck I bought on the road. It was delicious and I enjoyed it quietly. Well, satisfied.
