Haose Ruizi Hotel (Shenyang Yuhong Shengjing Hospital Jilihu Street Metro Station Branch)

When choosing a hotel for autumn, convenience and comfort are key, and this one ticks all the boxes. Located in the heart of Xihe South Road in Yuhong District, it's just a 5-minute walk to Jilihu Street Metro Station. Whether you're heading to Lu Xun Park to admire the maple leaves or to the Hunhe West Gorge to see the reeds, both metro and self-driving options are easily accessible, with the farthest drive being only 35 minutes. No need to wake up early to catch transportation—sleep in and start your day at your own pace, perfect for those who love a lazy morning.

The moment you step into the guest room, a sense of comfort washes over you! The 2.2-meter bed is covered with thick flannel sheets, soft and warm to the touch. On a slightly chilly autumn night, snuggling into bed feels like being wrapped in a cloud, instantly melting away the fatigue from a day of autumn sightseeing 💤. The fully intelligent room control system caters to modern needs—just say "open the curtains" or "switch to warm light mode," and the system responds immediately. Wake up to sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the morning, and sort through your photos under soft lighting in the evening, creating the perfect ambiance.

The bathroom details are impeccable! The dry and wet separation design is super thoughtful, the rainforest shower has strong water pressure and stable temperature, and after a day of exploring autumn scenery, a hot shower washes away all the tiredness. The smart toilet and makeup mirror with supplementary lighting make it easy for women to do their makeup. The free public area on the 23rd floor is another pleasant surprise, with a fully equipped gym for a morning run or yoga session to kickstart your autumn adventure. The self-service laundry room with washing machines and dryers ensures your autumn outfits stay fresh and clean, saving you from any worries.

Breakfast is the ultimate autumn comfort! With an extended serving time from 7:00 to 10:30, even late risers can enjoy a hot meal. Seasonal pumpkin porridge and millet porridge warm the stomach, while freshly made fried dough sticks and egg pancakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Western options like toast, bacon, and freshly brewed coffee, paired with fresh fruits and yogurt, offer a variety so rich you'll be spoiled for choice. A hearty breakfast sets the tone for a great day of autumn sightseeing.

🍁 Must-Visit Hidden Autumn Gems in Shenyang
Staying at Haose Ruizi gives you easy access to Shenyang's less crowded and more beautiful autumn spots. Here are three treasure routes for you to follow:

1. Lu Xun Park "Maple Forest": Take Metro Line 2 and transfer to Line 1, arriving in 40 minutes. In mid-to-late October, the park's maple trees gradually turn red, with red and yellow leaves intertwining. Sunlight filters through the branches, creating a colorful "leaf carpet" on the ground. Stroll along the lakeside, watch the leaves drift into the water, and capture the autumn vibe in every photo 📸. When you're tired, sit on a bench under the maple trees, order a hot drink, and listen to the rustling leaves—it's both relaxing and healing.

2. Hunhe West Gorge "Reed Marsh": A 30-minute drive takes you to the Hunhe West Gorge, where vast reed marshes sway in the wind, resembling a "sea of autumn snow." From the observation deck, you can see the reed marshes blending with the distant river and sky, creating a poetic scene perfect for artistic photos. At sunset, the reeds are bathed in golden light, offering breathtaking views—don't miss this golden hour for photography.

3. Wanliutang Park "Ginkgo Avenue": Just three metro stops away, the park's ginkgo avenue may be short, but it's peaceful and serene. In early November, the ginkgo leaves turn a bright golden yellow, and sunlight filters through, creating a thick "golden carpet" on the ground. Walking through it feels like stepping into a golden fairy tale. Bring a picnic mat, sit under the ginkgo trees, enjoy some snacks, and savor the slow pace of autumn.
