[Travel Notes] Nianhuawan Town

My husband and I temporarily decided to take a self-driving trip around May Day, and we chose Nianhua Bay, which everyone said we must go to. There are B&Bs and hotels in Nianhuawan. After comparing, I chose Wuxi Nianhuawan Juna Paramita Hotel. The reviews all say it’s good.

To advance to the scenic area, you must buy tickets for the Nianhuawan Scenic Area in advance, and you can enter the park by swiping your ID card at the door. [Be sure to buy tickets in advance, otherwise it will be a waste of time to buy them on the spot] The hotel has a parking lot, and there is an elevator in the parking lot to go to the front desk, which is very convenient. The hotel is located in the inner part of Nianhuawan Scenic Area. It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains and forests, and is in a natural oxygen bar. The hotel has a battery car to take you to the scenic spots or exits. Without the noise of the scenic spots, you can also visit the scenic spots very conveniently. I booked a standard room. The hotel’s retail price is 720 yuan per night, including breakfast.

The room is located on the second floor of the hotel, 45 square meters, with a balcony outside, wet and dry bathroom separation, and an independent dressing table. Although there is no scenery when looking out, the greenery is everywhere and it is very comfortable. It's not hot yet in this season, so there are screens on the doors and windows. When you open them in the morning, you'll be greeted by the sweet fresh air.

The hotel's breakfast is average, but there are quite a lot of varieties. You can enter by swiping your room card. The more distinctive one is the tofu pudding, which is served by yourself from the wooden barrel, and you add the ingredients by yourself in the seasoning area next to it. There is also Wuxi Xiaolong, which you can only queue up to eat on the hour. It is not very sweet, but you can only get one at a time. There is also a steamed dumpling in the other basket, which is not very sincere.

There are many projects in the Nianhuawan Scenic Area: flower arrangement, incense path, sugar figures, scripture copying, cruises, etc. You don’t need to go crazy, just walk around slowly. When you are tired, you can sit and look at the scenery and relax. There are also light shows and other performances in the evening. The scenic area has a rich arrangement and will not be boring. Finally, let’s talk about the service. The girl at the front desk was a bit dull, but the aunt who cleaned the room was very nice, with a good attitude and fast speed. The Chinese restaurant is very stuffy and has no air conditioning, but the food is pretty good. There is a smoking area outside, but the sealing is not good and the smell will drift in, affecting the good mood of watching the scenery.
