Push open the door of Yilan Hotel, and the red walls and gray tiles of Jinci Temple come into view at once.
When you come in search of the millennium-long grace and beauty of Jinci Scenic Area, hailed as the "Southern Water Town of the North", Yilan Hotel is the perfect haven for you to unwind and rejuvenate both body and mind.
Nestled right at the entrance of Jinci Scenic Area, our hotel is just a stone’s throw away via the pedestrian street—no more early-morning rushes to catch a bus, no more dragging luggage around to find your way.
Spend your day exploring Jinci Temple to your heart’s content: admire the gentle smiles of the maid statues in the Hall of the Holy Mother, trace the thousand-year-old lines on the trunk of the Zhou Dynasty cypress, and listen to tour guides recount the legendary tales of the Never-Aging Spring. Whenever you feel tired, you can return to the hotel for a rest in no time. The small tea tables and plush sofas in the guest rooms serve as your "temporary relaxation corners"; brew a pot of tea, and savor the memories of your day’s discoveries at a leisurely pace.
Here, "accommodation" is never just a place to lay your head.
Open your guest room window early in the morning, and you will see the upturned eaves of Jinci Temple veiled in morning mist, while the distant toll of the morning bell drifts across the courtyard. In the afternoon, steep a pot of tea, watch the sunlight filter through the window lattice and dapple the "Yilan" plaque, as the profound historical legacy of Jinci blends seamlessly with the elegant grace of orchids. In the evening, after returning from the scenic area, you can sit at a table in the first-floor courtyard, leaf through a book of Jinci historical records, and watch the sunset cast dappled light through the gaps in the orchid leaves.
Before bedtime, make yourself a cup of local chrysanthemum tea, and let the tranquil night view of Jinci outside the window embrace the peace and quiet of the room.
Yilan understands your longing for the charm of ancient times, and even more, your need for serenity to settle your travel-worn mind. Living adjacent to Jinci Temple and sleeping amid the fragrance of orchids, let all the dust and fatigue of your journey dissipate with the evening breeze, leaving only a heart full of peace and contentment.
At Yilan Hotel, you are not just staying in a room—you are savoring a wonderful moment of communion with history, elegance, and your inner self.
For this journey to Jinci Temple, choosing the right place to stay is the key to truly appreciating its millennium-old heritage and this rare, serene escape.
