Ankang, a small southern city in the north

Come to Ankang and unwind for two days! This small city on the Han River is perfect for a weekend getaway. I just stayed at the Meihao Lizhi Hotel and was completely captivated! ❤️

🏨Accommodation Recommendation:
The Meihao Lizhi Hotel (Ankang Riverside Flagship Branch) is absolutely amazing! Located at 17 Binjiang Avenue, it's right on the Han River Promenade. Our river view room had a fantastic view, allowing us to enjoy the Han River's nightscape from our room. ✨ It's fully equipped with electric curtains, a fitness center, and a hearty breakfast buffet! Best of all, it's within walking distance to the food court—a paradise for late-night snackers!

🌊Must-See:
✅ Han River Night View: After dinner, be sure to stroll along the riverside promenade! The gentle river breeze, the dazzling lights, and even people fishing and singing! 🎤
✅ Riverside Food Court: Just a 5-minute walk from the hotel. BBQ, noodles, cold noodles... I recommend ordering small portions of everything so you can try a variety! ✅Xiangxi Cave: A natural oxygen bar 20 minutes from the city center, we recommend waking up early to breathe in the fresh air!

🍜Food Recommendations:
🌟Steamed Noodles: A must-try for breakfast! Soft, chewy, and delicious with their special chili sauce.
🌟Han River Fish: Steamed is recommended; the fish is so tender it melts in your mouth.
🌟Barbecue Night Market: Any restaurant is delicious; we recommend ordering the lamb skewers and grilled fish.

💡Tips:
1. Parking is limited at the hotel, so arrive early.
2. Request a high-floor river view room for a better view.
3. The temperature in Ankang fluctuates greatly, so bring a light jacket.
4. The food court is busier after 6 PM.
