A Scholarly Retreat in a Jiangnan Water Town | Like a Chinese Ink Painting.

🌸 After a long time in the bustling city, I always want to find a quiet place to relax. On the weekend, I drove two hours from Shanghai to Wuxi's Dangkou Ancient Town. Known as "Little Suzhou," this ancient town is truly intoxicating. 🏨 Hotel Environment: The hotel is ingeniously designed. The winding corridors seem to take me back to ancient courtyards, deep and winding, as if I am talking to history with every step. When I stepped into the lobby, I was immediately attracted by the oil-paper umbrella-shaped lamps hanging from the wooden beams. Under the warm yellow light, the entire lobby looked like a slowly unfolding ink painting. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone placed next to the front desk were the finishing touch, making the waiting time for check-in full of poetry and the fragrance of books. 🛏️ Room Features: The antique-style windows in the room seem to take me into the boudoir of a wealthy family, with an ancient charm permeating every corner. The minimalist Chinese-style interior decoration is simple but not plain, and the clean environment instantly relaxes the mind. What impressed me the most was the mattress. The moment I lay down, it was as if I was on a cloud, soft and light yet supportive, and a good night's sleep began. 🌳 Nearby Attractions: In this ancient town, besides lazily sleeping in the hotel, you can also enjoy the pleasure of strolling around the ancient town. The ancient town is rectangular in layout, with two main streets facing each other across the river. The river is clear, with swaying aquatic plants, and small bridges span the river. Standing on the bridge and looking out, you can see the charm of the water town. On the weekend, there are staff dressed in ancient costumes, leisurely rowing boats on the river. At that moment, I was in a daze, as if I had really traveled back to ancient times. If you also want to find a place full of books and poetry in the Jiangnan water town, the Scholars Hotel in Dangkou Ancient Town will not disappoint you. Here, time becomes slow and gentle, and every moment seems to be a leisurely stroll in an ink painting. 🏨 Hotel: Scholars Hotel (Wuxi Dangkou Ancient Town) 📍 Address: No. 55 Hengfang Road, Ehu Town, Wuxi
