Citic Pacific Zhujiajiao Jin Jiang Hotel

The hotel's breakfast was plentiful. It's Lantern Festival today, and the hotel specially offered handmade tangyuan (glutinous rice balls). It was my first time trying tangyuan with shepherd's purse and pork filling. The server, Pan Linmei, even delivered it to my table, and the coffee latte art was beautiful.

The hotel's Chinese-style decor feels incredibly grand and impressive! The service, from the restaurant to the front desk, was absolutely spot on. Located right by Dayang Lake, the hotel seamlessly blends with the water scenery, offering truly delightful views!

Excellent value for money, and the breakfast was great.

The hotel's most striking feature is probably its sheer size; I couldn't even explore it all! However, it's a bit dated, and many things show signs of wear and tear. It appears to have undergone renovation at some point, and was still relatively clean and tidy. Crucially, the bathroom and AC were problem-free. Breakfast was delicious, and the 'Wadi Su' (a type of crispy pastry) and various pickled vegetables were very characteristic local specialties of Zhujiajiao. It would be even better if there were more amenities for children.

For my mother's birthday, we chose a hotel located quite close to the ancient town, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. The hotel boasts an impressive and elegant design, and every corner is photo-worthy. Both the sunrise and sunset views are absolutely beautiful. We had a room by the lake, and sitting on the sofa, sipping coffee and just unwinding, we could easily while away the entire day. Most importantly, the hotel's service was absolutely outstanding and incredibly personalized. Our host, Jackson, who assisted us with check-in, was charming, polite, and exceptionally thoughtful, making us feel completely at home. Even my usually picky mother remarked that this will be our go-to destination for all future vacations.
