【Hotel Recommendation - Chengxin Yaju Hotel】【Average 180 RMB+ for a prime scenic spot stay】
This time, my friends and I stayed at Chengxin Yaju Hotel, and the experience was amazing!

Location: The hotel is located in the center of Tongxiang City, surrounded by numerous supermarkets and stores, making shopping and dining super convenient. It's also close to Wuzhen and Puyuan Ancient Town, about a 20-30 minute drive away.

➰ The room was spacious, bright, and warmly decorated, with very comfortable bedding.
➰ The view of the beautiful lake from the window was a perfect way to start the day.
➰ Highlights included a silk fan, fragrant osmanthus in the park, and a delightful aroma.
➰ The silk fan was exquisite and photogenic.
➰ After a tiring day, we returned to the hotel to enjoy an exclusive afternoon tea for ladies!
