中國江蘇的旅館

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🥳

房間在老門東主街上的一條小巷子裏，推開一扇不起眼的木質門，裏面就是古宅子的景象，房間雖然臨街，但是關上廁所的門之後，就聽不到噪音了，該有的備品一應俱全，酒店各個角落的花瓶、藝術品及畫作畫龍點睛，還有小院子裏的屋頂小貓萌趣十足，實在太美了！

民宿的環境很好，房間乾淨衞生，很安靜，空調也給力，洗澡淋浴水也大，水壓很穩定不會忽冷忽熱。有個很有味道的小花園，佈置的很用心。民宿就在古鎮的入口處，走過去幾米就到了，古鎮早上8點前和晚上5點後是免門票的。民宿附近有停車場，如果免費的停車場停滿了可以停旁邊的東莊停車場，老闆會報銷停車費，老闆會開觀光電瓶來停車場接送。總之服務等各方面都很好。還能帶寵物，寵物友好民宿，狗狗也玩的很開心。

來看徐良蘇州演唱會定的民宿，價格不低但算值得。環境設施不錯，所見即所得。地理位置挺好，距離閶門城牆非常近，旁邊就是山塘街可逛（但感覺山塘街沒平江路有意思，但整體上也都是商業古街）。本來以為靠近閶門街道那邊會吵鬧，但晚上其實非常安靜，睡覺很舒服💤店主會加私域細緻化服務，給到推薦的旅遊路線和飯店等等。美中不足是本來以為窗外河道會很怡情，但實際水溝偶爾會有一點點臭味（關上窗就好點），以及旁邊河道也在裝修，稍微有點煞風景，不過在窗户口就那樣坐着也不太能望到那邊。

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！

老闆娘人很熱情，好客！在入住期間就加了聯繫方式並且給了一個詳細的路線圖指引我們怎麼到酒店～雖然酒店規模不大，衹有六間房，但房間佈局合理，打開兩個大型行李箱後還有很多空間可以活動，也佈置得非常温馨，有家的感覺！下次有機會再到蘇州的話，還會選擇你們家💕

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
