中國江蘇的小旅館

I arrived in pouring rain. I thought I could walk to my hotel but it was impossible in the downpour. I didn’t want to bother any hotel owner.   I didn’t and still don’t  have an eSIM that can make local  call but thanks to Trip.com, there is a link that I could call the owner for free.  I didn’t advise the owners my arrival time so they were off running errands.  I called the owner to pick me up and thankfully he answered. He was busy but gracious enough to turn around and picked me up. It knew Zhouhuang requires a ticket but I didn’t know that no cars, nor motorcycles, nor bicycles are allowed. Without him I would have arrived the hotel easily.  I always like to meet the owners instead of employees . They were very helpful and answered all my questions. They are honest people who dedicate their  blood and sweat to their business. The owner even offered to walk me to the bus stop  to Suzhou which was my next destination.  This  operates two hotels with 9 in one and 6 in the other. The one that I stayed in with 9 rooms is in a  lively and busy area . Just outside the hotel is a restaurant and there are plenty of places to eat. Inside the hotel is a peaceful oasis where you won’t hear any noise. The location is the best. The other hotel is in a quieter neighborhood a few minutes away. Each of the 15 rooms has it’s own personality, is different and has its distinctive decoration. The owners said they decorated them themselves. I love the decoration and especially the lighting.  After you reserve a room, be sure to contact the owner for the exact address in case you want to arrive on your own. I think it is best to request the owner to take you there because he/she will lead you to the ticket booth to buy tickets. There are a number of bridges so heavy big luggages can be a bit of a challenge .  If you arrive after 5 pm, you can enter free of charge as no one is there to check your ticket. . But once you are inside, and if you choose to leave the area after 8 or 9 am until 5 pm, you have to pay to come back in. You can buy a one day or in my case 3 days pass.  Do check with the owner for up to date information.  The room was quite clean. There were hot water all the time. There were other guests during my stay but they were not noisy at all. I barely heard them. I slept very well during my 3 nights there.  Zhouhuang is really beautiful. There are many canals, bridges, boat rides, good food of all kinds. I had some of the best meals there. In fact , I ate in the same restaurant that serves dumpling twice. One night I had grill (BBQ) meat just outside the entrance for 4 yuans. .  There is decent size supermarket just outside the turnstile and not too far away is a much bigger supermarket. It was there where I bought half a Peking duck for only 32 yuans . The seller sliced the meat and separated the meat from  the bones. The bones he fried so it was crunchy.  It was delicious. There is a theater that offers performances. The night view is great. If you step out your room, you will be overwhelmed in a good sense by the exciting surroundings.  This hotel definitely is one of the best that I have ever stayed in. Look at the beautiful pictures and find one that you like.  I stayed only 3 nights and one of those days I went to Tongli. In my opinion, one should spend at least 2 to 3 full days in  Zhouhuang (and especially this hotel ) savor the ambience. I don’t think Tongli is worth the time because it was twice as expensive and there are not that many canals and boat rides. It is much quieter and has fewer things to see. . The worst is that the sightseeing places require you to show your ticket. After 2 places, I lost mine ticket and I  couldn’t get in the rest of the places. It is unnecessary to require proof of entrance because you can’t enter the area without a ticket. 

預訂的臨河觀景房型太驚喜，開窗直麪河道古橋，白天看搖櫓船緩緩劃過，夜晚燈光倒映水面氛圍感十足。客棧庭院打理得精緻雅緻，處處都是江南細節。房間設施齊全，熱水穩定，衞生嚴格把控，清晨伴着流水聲醒來，是獨一無二的水鄉住宿體驗，非常適合拍照打卡。

依橋傍水，鬧市不鬧，石塔菜場附近小橋流水間 上個坡過馬路一直往前走個街道就是瘦西湖南門了 向東走就是東關街，向西走是揚大，向北是商場萬象滙，石塔寺車站，再往前是荷花池，絕佳的地理位置！！！小住揚州，體驗風土人情，生活便利的絕妙位置哇^_^ 裝修雅趣與河畔楊柳相得映彰，老闆娘人也很友善，感恩相遇。她有時練練古琴，從房間出來，聽着琴音，一路走出來，美景如眼，簡直視聽盛宴。 石塔菜場附近居民樓巷子一堆當地地道美味小吃😍 早上早起出門溜達看看早市，順帶吃個小早飯🥣中午晚上上坡就是一堆美味小飯館任挑選，有時也去菜場門口砍半衹揚州老鵝，迴帶回民宿吃。聽着老闆娘琴音，仿若置身世外桃源。😇 美滋滋，真是吃好喝好玩好住好的一段美妙旅程🥳

酒店鬧中取靜。整條街人來人往十分熱鬧，沒想到店內如此清幽。一進門外界的喧鬧彷彿被隔斷，裝修簡約雅緻，綠植與暖光襯得氛圍舒緩，不會擾人。不管是獨處發呆、看書小憩，還是和好友輕聲閑談都格外舒服。茶飲口感在線，在快節奏的城市裡尋到這樣一方安靜小天地，實在難得，已經列入常住清單。 特別感謝前台小姐姐熱心服務。

首先感謝幫忙升級了房間，房間帶個陽台，很通風，孩子對投影是非常滿意的，導致回家都想換個投影了哈哈哈，床枕頭睡的也很舒服，很乾凈，馬桶是智能帶温熱坐圈的，淋浴設施也很贊，吹風是戴森模樣的，總之民宿住起來很方便，偶遇颱風，都能安然睡個好覺，要不是颱風下雨哪也不敢去，真想多待幾天，但即使颱風也不擔心，民宿有自己的餐廳，孩子對她家的萬三蹄讚不絕口，就是太大了，要是有小分量就太友好了，而且附近外賣是相當方便，民宿一樓有自己的院落，冰箱，餐桌公共區，設計很合理，如家般温暖，真心評價，強烈推薦大家去

房間裝飾精緻！ 毛巾都是使用一次性毛巾，非常潔淨！ 地點都很好，很近山塘街！ 庭園都好靚，可以望見附近城樓，好啱打卡！ 客棧主人還會幫手拿行李，非常好人！ 又會介紹附近有咩好玩，又好健談，非常親切！ 下次去蘇州必定再入住！

真的有被細節感動到。酒店位置絕佳，就在皮市街入口處。旁邊就是街區最美的文創店，糖水鋪。散散步就能到東關街、廣陵有鹽。入住前就收到酒店的温馨的導航、揚州用餐遊覽引導。房間備有迎賓水果，各處細節很滿意入住體驗非常棒。最神奇的是處在網紅街區，房間卻非常的安靜，真的鬧中靜幽處，境生方寸間。退房的時候，小哥哥還送了一個皮市街和他們家小貓咪定製的冰箱貼，下次來揚州肯定還住這裏。

酒店體驗感很好，第一次嘗試古風的客棧。 酒店能自助洗衣，晾衣，很方便。 某一天，洗了衣服，要準備出門了，擔心會下雨，要求老闆娘如果下雨的話，幫忙把衣服收了。 結果回到酒店時，衣服真的收回來了。 遊客要注意：周莊有收取入門票，100元/人，但8pm後進入周莊，是免費的。（一定要看看免費進出的時間，也許會一直更改） 周莊很好玩，沐瀾住的很舒服。 真的值得一來！

這次來蘇州就是説走就走的旅行，網上看這時候的蘇州是最美時節，毫不猶豫就開始找酒店。刷到這家的時候，看到照片眼前一亮，位置優越，到拙政園和蘇博走路幾分鐘就到。老闆娘人特別好，言慢性柔，初見以為是當地人，聊了一會兒才知是北方的姐姐在這裏開民宿。來蘇州兩日還不巧感冒，也是貼心地為我找葯拿快遞送水，一直在關心我的病情。很感恩遇到這麼好的姐姐，讓在異地生病的我有了很大的精神慰藉。這次來蘇州衹去了拙政園，下次再來還定姐姐家！

這次旅行的寶藏民宿！房間和圖片完全無差，每個角落都好出片，朋友圈被問爆地址～ 房間佈置浪漫又温馨，晚上安安靜靜不被打擾。位置在景區內和中心商圈，出行超方便，房間裏插座佈局合理，浴室熱水充足、水壓穩定，洗漱用品香味好聞，採光絕佳，窗外視野也很棒。這種賓至如歸的體驗太難得了
