There are basically no pitfalls when traveling in Yangzhou | Stay at Treasure Hotel | Discover the reason || When traveling in Jiangnan cities, Yangzhou is a tourist city where there are almost no pitfalls. Whether it is eating, playing, or staying, the quality education and life attitude of Yangzhou people make me feel comfortable. Previously, in an article I can’t remember clearly, someone raised this idea. To determine whether a city is a popular tourist city, just look at the hotel accommodation environment. As a city with very high traffic in recent years, it is really hard to find fault with hotel accommodation in Yangzhou. I have traveled to Yangzhou three or four times, and the hotels or B&Bs I stayed in each time were all very good. Some hotels even provided five-star services. This time, I was particularly impressed by the Yangzhou Hefeng Hotel Experience Store where I stayed. A few profound points are briefly summarized: [Lobby] Tea, coffee, and snacks are available at any time and free of charge; When checking in, the luggage is arranged to be delivered to the room on the check-in floor; The front desk and other staff always greet you with a smile, and sometimes they will chat and talk about the customs and culture of Yangzhou. [Guest Rooms] Capsule coffee is available every day. If it is not enough, you can ask the front desk to brew coffee and send it to the room (also free); Fresh fruits and snacks are delivered every day; After entering the room, turning on and off the lights, opening and closing the curtains, listening to music, listening to the news or watching movies are all operated by Xiaodu smart voice; The smart toilet lid is sensory; Dyson hair dryer is standard; [Other Features] Free laundry and ironing; Document printing; Since I went to have morning tea almost every morning when traveling in Yangzhou, I never enjoyed the hotel breakfast. It wasn't until the last day before leaving that I finally went to the restaurant. I thought the taste would be very different from the tea house, but I found a few surprising details. In fact, the main reason why I want to share this hotel is because of the good service. It reminds me that Yangzhou's cultural tourism development is so good. It is really a united front from top to bottom, making people feel comfortable and relaxed, and they don't seem to worry about being cheated.

This trip to Yangzhou introduced me to an incredibly impressive female entrepreneur who transformed from a waitress to a hotel owner, a truly inspirational life story. On the third day in Yangzhou, we checked into the city's popular He Yi Hotel. As soon as our car arrived at the hotel entrance, the staff warmly greeted us, opened our car doors, handled our luggage, and welcomed us inside with hot tea and fruit. We were pleasantly surprised by such enthusiastic service. After checking in with our IDs, they even helped us with our luggage to our room. To our amazement, we received a call from the front desk in the evening inquiring if we had any laundry that needed washing, offering to clean and dry it for us and deliver it to our room the next morning. The hotel has become famous for its service. From the hotel owner to the security guard at the door, everyone is extremely warm and welcoming. I can say that after visiting many places and staying in various hotels and B&Bs, He Yi is the most hospitable one I've experienced. The lobby offers free access to fruits, snacks, drinks, and coffee, and there are many communal spaces for reading, meeting friends, and drinking tea, as well as computers available for free use. The rooms are also very cozy and fully automated. You can use voice commands to control various appliances such as air conditioning, curtains, and lights. The toilet is also intelligent, automatically opening, flushing, and closing as you approach, which is very convenient. In addition, the room features an automatic coffee machine (with coffee capsules), a mini-fridge (stocked with a variety of beverages and yogurt for consumption), and fresh fruits that are replenished daily. There's also a Dyson hairdryer on the ceiling, fresh flowers, and a handwritten welcome note. The hotel not only offers a rich breakfast but also has a laundry room, gym, and a children's leisure area. Despite all these services, you might think the hotel is expensive, but no, prices start at just 400 yuan, making it an excellent value for money. Who is the hotel owner who provides such high value and warm service? Many might be surprised to learn that the owner was once just an ordinary waitress who, through her own efforts, opened her own hotel and now manages it according to her business philosophy. Today, there are several branches in Yangzhou. This morning, a friend mentioned that the next time he visits Yangzhou, he will definitely bring his family to stay at this hotel to experience the ultimate service. PS: 1. Address: See location 2. Price: Starting from 400 yuan

March in Yangzhou, with its fireworks, truly makes one linger and forget to return. But this trip has made me fall in love with Yangzhou completely. Because of the crowd, I chose the Heyi Hotel, which is close to all the scenic spots. The rooms are spacious and bright, with warm and cute colors. All the facilities in the room are very advanced and modern, and the drinks and yogurt in the minibar are great. Plus, the supply of fruit is really nice.
