Hotels With breakfast in Jiangxi, China

I arrived in Nanchang West by high-speed train from Guangzhou East at 10 PM. I took the subway (the last train runs quite late) and then rode a shared electric bike to the hotel. The hotel itself was nice. It's located just across the road from the Pavilion of Prince Teng scenic area. From my room window, I could see the auxiliary buildings of the Pavilion and also the Ganjiang River, where the buildings function as a cruise terminal. The next morning, I went to explore around the Pavilion of Prince Teng and along the Ganjiang River for some photos. When you're outside by the river, you can only get a side view of the Pavilion; you can't see the full panorama without going inside. Whether or not to climb the Pavilion is a personal choice; I didn't go up. There are paid performances regularly scheduled in front of the Pavilion, which might be interesting to some, but I skipped them. After a quick wander, I headed to Nanchang's famous shopping street, Wanshou Palace. The Wanshou Palace area is a comprehensive pedestrian street with restricted vehicle access at certain times. I arrived early, so I could ride my electric bike in. I believe there are times when it's completely closed to traffic all day, and other times when it's restricted from afternoon to evening. It's a great place for those who enjoy shopping and trying out local eats. I saw long queues at some popular网红 (internet-famous) or established restaurants when I passed by at lunchtime. After that, I went directly to visit the August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall. It requires online reservations, and I heard it can be hard to book on holidays. Since I went on a weekday and early, I was able to book on-site. The security guard mentioned that during peak season, traffic gets completely jammed. I definitely think visiting the August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Hall is a must when in Nanchang. In the afternoon, I took the subway to the Jiangxi Provincial Museum, which also requires advance reservations. They offer free locker storage, and it's a very worthwhile museum with a rich collection. The Jiangxi Provincial Library is right next door, but unfortunately, it was closed on the day I visited. In the evening, I returned to the hotel and took a stroll along the Ganjiang River, enjoying the night views of the river and the Pavilion of Prince Teng. I also explored some nearby cultural and creative shops. I found a local Nanchang restaurant specializing in Jiangxi cuisine at an intersection near the hotel. I ordered some stir-fried dishes; they were made with a variety of ingredients, beautifully colored, and while the red and green peppers looked spicy, the flavor was actually very rich and not overly hot, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of spice but can't handle extreme heat. I actually quite like Nanchang and am looking forward to tomorrow's itinerary, which includes Minyou Temple, Bayi Park, and Bayi Square.

My 2-night stay at Yangxian Village, Wangxian Valley felt like stepping into a living Chinese fantasy painting hidden between the mountains. Waking up surrounded by misty peaks and hearing the peaceful sounds of the valley made time slow down for a while. The atmosphere at night was magical with lights reflecting across the valley and the entire place feeling almost unreal. The hotel breakfast is delicious and sumptuous! A mixture of Chinese and Western styles. The village itself has many food options, performances, and activities, so there was always something to explore without feeling bored. After walking around the scenic areas, it was also nice to see bars and KTV spots available for people who wanted to relax at night. The environment balances both peaceful scenery and lively entertainment quite well. The room was comfortable and clean, and overall the stay experience was satisfying. One small area for improvement would be the TV channels, as channels after 25 were quite lagging when watching at night. It could also be interesting if the resort considered adding services like leg massages after long walks around the valley. I think many travellers would appreciate that after exploring the mountain areas. Overall, staying inside Wangxian Valley was more than just accommodation; it felt like being immersed inside the scenery itself. Definitely a memorable and unique experience.

Let's start with the downsides: 1. The room facilities are clearly aging, including the toilet, shower, and small sofa. The deluxe river-view twin room I stayed in on the 2nd/3rd night had even worse facilities than the executive king room on the first night. 2. The housekeeping department lacks basic amenities like a step stool for children (they said it's only provided for family rooms). 3. Soundproofing isn't great. If your room is a bit close to the elevator lobby, it can get quite noisy. 4. Adjusting the air conditioning temperature didn't seem to have any effect, though the overall comfort was still acceptable. Now for the highlights: 1. The river-facing rooms offer an unbeatable view. The scenery is even more beautiful than in the photos. 2. From a tourist perspective, the location is excellent. Tengwang Pavilion and Dashiyuan are very close, and Wanshou Palace is also within walking distance. 3. The breakfast quality is decent, with a wide variety of options, including many local Nanchang specialties. The view from the restaurant windows during breakfast is also fantastic. 4. Although the hotel is tall, the elevators are fast and the water pressure is good, effectively avoiding common high-rise living issues. 5. The staff at the concierge, front desk, customer service, and restaurant are all very enthusiastic and have a great attitude. Other notes: The afternoon tea provided with the executive room on the first day was quite good. However, the welcome fruit platter was only delivered on the third day and wasn't of great quality.

The hotel environment is quite nice; it's a garden hotel, and you can stroll around its internal mini-park, which is very pleasant. The lobby is spacious and bright, and the staff are professional and patient, though they could smile a little more. The rooms are also very large and comfortable to stay in, and the hygiene is good. The facilities and equipment seem relatively new, probably because the hotel hasn't been open for long. Parking is very convenient with plenty of spaces; there are no parking fee barriers, you just drive straight into the hotel's parking lot.

This 12-day Chinese New Year family trip, Shangri-La Nanchang was by far the most comfortable hotel we stayed in. The location is superb, with convenient transportation. The tram downstairs goes directly to all the major popular attractions. What truly impressed me was the service; they genuinely made us feel at home. Check-in was very thoughtful. They proactively arranged our two rooms together and patiently explained why there was a connecting room in between (due to the king-size bed layout). They also meticulously inquired about all our needs. On the day we left, our child wasn't feeling well and fell asleep, and the hotel was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to extend our check-out until 2 PM without any rush or催促, which was particularly heartwarming. The room view was unbeatable, directly facing Tengwang Pavilion from the window. We could even watch the fireworks display from our room, and the staff even proactively reminded us to tune the TV to the music channel to accompany the viewing. Additionally, the robot delivery for takeout was very prompt, and the buffet dinner was affordable, delicious, and offered a wide variety of dishes. The overall experience was impeccable, highly recommended!

The butler service was excellent; they contacted me before check-in and provided a very detailed guide, which I really appreciated. The hotel breakfast was substantial, and the baggage service was great, with staff bringing luggage directly to the room. However, the room was very small. I specifically booked the Cuiwei room, but it had no view, and the window was tiny. I guess the main benefit is being able to stay late in the scenic area and having a convenient place to crash. The complimentary photography session with Bojue Travel Photography only provided outfits, and each room received five free photos. Makeup and styling had to be purchased separately, and the outfits had to be returned immediately after the shoot. It's not as good value for money as places outside the scenic area.

Stunning River View, Enchanting Nights – An Unforgettable Stay This stay far exceeded my expectations; if I had to describe it in one word, it would be 'breathtaking.' First, I have to rave about the river view! The room offered an unparalleled vista, directly facing the wide river. Watching the sparkling river during the day instantly lifted my spirits, and at night, it was simply a visual feast. What impressed me most was the night view across the river. As dusk settled, the buildings on the opposite bank lit up magnificently. The dazzling lights reflected in the water, creating what looked like a flowing galaxy. The hotel service was also incredibly thoughtful. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable, allowing for a peaceful sleep after enjoying the beautiful scenery. If you're looking for a unique romantic getaway or want to bring family and friends to see a spectacular light show, this place is absolutely the top choice. The next time I visit this city, I'll undoubtedly choose to stay here again!

I spent a long, long time choosing a place to stay for my trip to Wuyuan, and finally picked this guesthouse. Their courtyard and window views are absolutely stunning. The moment I walked in, I was completely captivated by the ambiance – they've really mastered the Chinese garden style. Most importantly, the photos are exactly like reality! The owner has fantastic taste! The room was clean! Clean! Clean! The bedding was comfortable, and the entire place is smart-home enabled! The butler was very enthusiastic, and there's free parking. It's super close to Wuyuan High-Speed Rail Station, and it only takes ten minutes by car to get to Xian'gao Ancient City and Wunvzhou. Likeng and Huangling are about half an hour away, so the location is excellent. The guesthouse has a swimming pool, a cafe, a tea room, a restaurant, and even Hanfu makeup and styling services. A large shopping mall is just a short walk away, making dining and shopping convenient. A super satisfying stay! 🥰🥰

The hotel is absolutely stunning — like something out of a fairy tale. The cleanliness and the food were excellent, and the service was exceptional. A very special thank you goes to our butler, Xiao-Ting, who took such wonderful and caring care of us. A small tip for international travelers: this is a very large hotel complex, with rooms spread throughout the entire valley (many of the famous Instagram and YouTube videos actually feature the hotel grounds). It is not a bed & breakfast, as the name “Homestay” might suggest. If you are visiting Wangxian Valley, make sure to book this hotel. You definitely won’t regret it.

Staying within the scenic area was a brilliant choice. It allowed us to explore in the evenings and early mornings when there were fewer tourists. The guesthouse, which is uniformly managed by the scenic area, exceeded our expectations. It was clean and tidy, with all amenities thoughtfully provided (like disposable bathtub liners and toilet seat covers). The butler service was excellent; they contacted us via WeChat two days in advance, and after check-in, promptly and proactively sent us various information and even arranged exclusive activities. On the day of arrival, we joined the butler for a photoshoot in the rapeseed fields, and the next morning, we strolled through the ancient village with them, listening to stories of old houses. During both activities, the butlers were incredibly enthusiastic and attentive. They paid special attention to elderly guests and those who loved taking photos, ensuring no one got left behind, and frequently reminded us about the slippery stone paths on rainy days. Other staff members at the guesthouse were also very proactive and pleasant. The only minor inconvenience was that the guesthouse rooms were quite spread out, making the walk to the breakfast restaurant a bit far.
