Anyone who gets it, gets it! This road trip to Xuzhou made me want to come back immediately because of one hotel!
It’s this hidden gem in Huilongwo, "Huajianfu · Banyunting."
The moment you step into the courtyard, you understand what it means to be “a great retreat within the city.”
Outside is the bustling life of Huilongwo,
Inside is a Late Qing Dynasty courtyard with gray bricks and tiles,
Flying eaves and upturned corners + an ancient well pavilion, even the air carries an ancient charm 🌿
💡 No risk in choosing any room type!
✔️ Jingyuntai Suite: 40㎡ with living room and bathtub!
Curl up on the sofa, brew tea, watch movies, and soak in the tub for total relaxation.
✔️ Yunli Queen Room: Basic but surprisingly delightful!
First floor with a private courtyard, open the window to the fresh scent of greenery.
(Secret tip: Their pajamas are so comfy you’ll want to take them home!)
💌 Details that touch the heart
Welcome fruit upon check-in, and they even send goodnight sweet soup at night.
Mini bar includes Bama Platinum Spring water + soda + snacks.
You can also try handmade incense! The instructor is super patient.
When checking out, they even give you Xuzhou specialties—this service is next level 😭
📍 Location is absolutely perfect
Right in the Huilongwo Historical and Cultural District,
Step outside to catch Metro Lines 1 and 2, super close to Hubushan and Yunlong Mountain.
Free parking for drivers, a blessing for the lazy!
💰 Great value for money
Standard rooms start at just 400+ RMB,
With a bathtub + private courtyard + thoughtful service, this price is really a steal!
✨ Little bonus
The name Huilongwo has a cool story!
Legend says Emperor Qianlong got lost here and kept circling, so it was named “Returning Dragon.”
Staying here feels like living inside an old Xuzhou story~
Transportation is so convenient it’s almost emotional
Xuzhou High-Speed Rail reaches Shanghai/Nanjing/Beijing in 1-3 hours,
At the junction of 4 provinces, it’s easy to go anywhere. I’ll definitely come back next time!
Those who stay here know how cozy it is,
Drinking tea and listening to rain in the courtyard by day, binge-watching shows in the room at night,
Strolling the district and enjoying delicious food when free—this Xuzhou trip is truly priceless!
