✅ Accommodation tips
🔸 It's recommended to stay near the Bell Tower for convenient transportation and a variety of food and drink options
🔸 I stayed at the Yado Hotel near the Bell Tower on Yongning Street, costing about 200-300 per person, right next to Shuyuanmen, close to the Ancient City Wall! The location and view are amazing! The room's floor-to-ceiling windows offer a direct view of the city wall, and you can sit on the 5th-floor terrace, sipping tea while taking photos with Yongning Gate!
