The hotel is located in the Spring and Autumn parking lot of Jianshui Lin An, with a construction area of more than 3400 square meters, with tea rooms, conference reception rooms, coffee bars and specialty restaurants. The overall decoration style of the hotel is new Chinese style garden landscape style, the peripheral landscape is mainly garden-style, and the room types are diverse, divided into luxury rooms and rooms with courtyards and suites. The rooms are divided into three courtyards. The pine courtyard is dominated by green pines, the ink incense hall is dominated by bonsai, painting and calligraphy, and the bamboo garden is dominated by green bamboo. A wooden corridor with carved and painted with Jianshui characteristics connects all the courtyards, and the rockery and pond are inset.
"I've always loved staying in Chinese garden hotels and have experienced many across different regions, but this one's environment is by far my favorite. The Pine Garden is the most beautiful, grand and elegant. With a clear blue sky and sunshine, it truly surpasses even the landscapes of Jiangnan. In the morning, the light streams through the windows facing the courtyard, filling the room with warmth. At night, the silhouettes of the pine trees resemble graceful Dai dances, which is quite charming.
I had originally planned to visit a famous garden cafe outside the ancient city after checking in, but then I saw how much better the hotel's own backyard was—it was truly exceptional. So, I immediately went back to my room, grabbed my Zitao tea set, and brewed coffee and black tea under the Ligustrum trees. My family and I enjoyed the gentle breeze, listening to the rustling leaves and gurgling water, admiring the blooming magnolias and the swaying goldfish. This became the highlight of our slow-paced Jianshui trip. I also saw other guests reading on the traditional 'beauty's rest' benches and observing the fish pond with great interest. This, I thought, is what coming to Jianshui is all about—letting time slow down a bit.
The room included a private small courtyard, a small living room that doubled as a tea room, a bedroom, and a very spacious bathroom. There were also Jianshui cultural books by Chen Lei's comic team, which you could finish in half an hour to learn about Jianshui. In the evening, we received welcome fruits, and the morning's caya rice noodles were as good as, if not better than, those from external vendors. The room was incredibly quiet at night—we were truly in the heart of the ancient city, yet just a wall away felt like a secluded paradise.
The intangible cultural heritage performance directly opposite the hotel starts at 8:30 PM. It's high quality, great value for money, and definitely worth seeing. The hotel is also very close to the Confucius Temple."
