The shuttle boat from the pier near the parking lot provided complimentary transfer directly to the guesthouse, and I received a bonus scenic river view even before check-in. The owner was incredibly welcoming, actively helping with my luggage upon arrival. The room was clean, the air conditioning was excellent, and the banana tree by the stairs added a unique touch. My second bonus was the riverside view right outside the guesthouse. After a tiring day of exploring the ancient town's attractions, it was so relaxing to simply sit by the river and enjoy the scenery. The lake views were stunning at dusk and when the evening lights came on, and equally refreshing and gentle in the morning, truly capturing the essence of a typical Jiangnan water town. This place is perfectly suited for a relaxing stopover during pleasant weather. The third bonus was the three complimentary teas offered by the hotel: sweet, savory, and fragrant – a perfect accompaniment to the riverside view.
