I have never been stingy with my preference for this brand, and I have already checked in all six hotels under this brand. As a hotel brand rooted in Nanjing, it will always be the best place I recommend to friends visiting Jinling. Yihe's four hotels in Nanjing have their own styles. Staying at Yihe is part of experiencing the city's customs. After all, there is no hotel that understands Nanjing better than this brand.

"A road to peace, half of the history of the Republic of China." We often hear this sentence used to describe the Yihe Road Gongguan District in Nanjing. Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it confirms the historical and cultural value and special status of this place. It is based on this value that Yihe Hotel is named after this word, which also means inheriting and carrying forward this important Jinling history and culture. This is the fundamental reason why Yihe is different from other Nanjing hotels.

Speaking of this, I have to mention "Yihe Road Gongguan District". In Nanjing's Gulou District, with Ninghai Road Roundabout as the center, there are many roads such as Yihe Road, Ninghai Road, Mogan Road, etc. radially distributed. In the 378,000 square meters surrounded by these roads, there are now 225 relatively well-preserved residences of former government officials of the Republic of China. It is the area with the largest number of residences of the Republic of China in China. They take Yihe Road as the central axis, so they are named after it. Among them, the twelfth area, as a model for the renovation of the Yihe Road Gongguan District, consists of 26 villas of different styles during the Republic of China. In 2014, it was awarded the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Protection Honor Award. The protagonist of this article, Yihe Hotel, originated here. The opening of Yihe Mansion in June 2013 started the development of Yihe Hotel in Nanjing and the country, and became the prelude to the story of Yihe.

Four years after the opening of Yihe Mansion, Yihe Yangtze Hotel reopened in Xiaguan on the Yangtze River. In 1912, after Nanjing was officially opened to the public as a treaty port, the Yangtze Hotel became the earliest hotel opened by Westerners at that time. A hundred years later, the renovation project was launched in 2011. After 6 years, Yihe Hotel gave the Yangtze Hotel a new look. In this only French castle-like building in China built with brick walls of the Ming Dynasty, Yihe Yangtze Hotel uses a completely different way to tell another story of Nanjing to guests.

The third story takes place the following year after the opening of Yihe Yangtze Hotel. In the Laomendong Historical and Cultural District, the mustard seed garden, which was once the villa of Li Yuju, a famous celebrity in the early Qing Dynasty, has been renovated and recreated the classic "Huzhong Tiandi" 350 years ago. The one responsible for this project is Yihe Hotel. In 2018, Yihe Mustard Garden Hotel made a stunning appearance, reintroducing this Jinling Mustard Garden, which plays an important role in the history of Chinese gardens, to the world, and officially announcing the launch of another new type of specialty hotel under Yihe Hotel.

Time continues to move forward, and Yihe's story also opens a new chapter. Yihe's second brand,"Hermit", was grandly launched in mid-2019 and is known as the "Non-Daily Leisure and Resort Space Hotel". The first store that made its debut was the Hermit Water Street Hotel located in Bailuzhou Park in the Confucius Temple area. The hotel spans both sides of the Qinhuai River, and cruise ships pass through the river from time to time. The guests and the tourists on board each other's scenery and have a unique interest.

After landing four sons in Jinling City, Yihe Hotel bucked the trend and opened two brand new luxury boutique hotels in the fourth quarter of 2021, and has gone out of Nanjing and Jiangsu for the first time. The second hotel on Yihe Lake in Dayang Bay in Yancheng and Yihe Yunxi Jinshi (please check the name of the hotel for details for relevant experiences) brings Yihe quality to Yancheng, Jiangsu and Weishan, Yunnan, and becomes the top hotel choice in the area. There is no difference in popularity for a while.

In addition to hotels, when it comes to Yihe, there is another resounding brand that has to be mentioned, that is,"Wanguochun·Chinese Cuisine Restaurant". Wan Guochun's history in Nanjing is no shorter than that of Yihe Gongguan District. Since the Republic of China, Wan Guochun has been a leader in Nanjing's catering industry. With the change of times, the once-declining time-honored brand Wanguochun was picked up by Yihe. In 2019, it opened its first Wanguochun·Chinese cuisine restaurant in Yihe Mansion, and later introduced the brand to other hotels under its portfolio. Nowadays, Wan Guochun can be seen in the four Yihe hotels in Gongguan, Mustard Garden, Shuijie and Lakeside. It has also become a model of Chinese and Western cuisine based on Huaiyang cuisine.

One of the reasons why Wanguochun is favored is that it not only presents traditional Chinese food in the form of French meals, doubling its exquisiteness and dignity, but also ensures the innovative and stable production of the dishes, allowing guests to enjoy every season. Taste the most seasonal fresh taste.

Going on a trip to the youth does not live up to the good food

Spring has just arrived, and delicious ingredients such as spring bamboo shoots, spring leeks, celery sprouts, Longjing, sword fish, and mussels are all served in the spring of Wanguo. How can it not be surprising?

Fireworks come to Jiangnan in March, so you might as well follow my footsteps and go to these four Yihe Hotels in Jinling City to taste the spring scenery together.

Yihe Mansion, the founding work of Yihe Hotel, is a hotel with a reputation in the boutique hotel circle of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Its site selection is unique in the whole of Nanjing. It integrates the 26 celebrity villas in the 12th area of Yihe Road Gongguan District, and is full of a strong sense of history. The goose-yellow walls and the small villas made of blue-gray stone bricks all exude the charm of time.

What I like is the affinity of this hotel. It does not have the grand door of a traditional hotel. It is like a quiet world that you can break into at any time during an afternoon stroll. There is no huge main building here, and all guest rooms and public facilities are distributed in historical villas scattered throughout the residence area.

Entering from the main gate, there is an exquisite small building called "Deep Willow Hall" on the left. There is flowing water in front of the door, which is the front desk of the hotel. Walking into the retro copper door is like a welcome hall in a Republic of China mansion. Retro sofas and dark wooden tables are full of strong nostalgia. The second floor here is a place to rest. You can relax in a daze, read classics, or sit quietly and sip tea, returning to the most comfortable lifestyle.

Unlike many old houses renovated into hotels, Yihe Mansion does not blindly adopt the practice of repairing the old as before. Especially in the interior part, it is quite innovative. It not only retains the Republican style theme, but also uses new details to enhance the modern stay experience. Moreover, because the rooms are distributed in different villas, and almost every villa has different indoor space, there is a kind of fun to stay here. Even if you stay in a room type with the same name every time, the rooms you may stay in are also Each has its own style and unique history.

This time I stayed in a very classic villa in the hotel. It can be said that all the promotional blockbusters focusing on the guest rooms came from this building-Building 18, which was once the private residence of Liu Jiashu, commander of Suijing District. The former blue brick walls of the villa are completely preserved, and the damaged door posts have been changed, but the style remains the same.

This is a three-story building. After swiping the door card, it is a public resting space for guests in several rooms in the building to share. The decorations on the wall are patches woven from Nanjing brocade, and the pattern symbolizes the military status of the original owner of the villa. Details such as this can be found everywhere in the interior space of the mansion, which is one of the many ingenuity ideas of this hotel during its design and restoration. Up the stairs is my room.

The entire room adopts light colors dominated by beige, and the warm lighting well shows the exquisiteness of the indoor space. I like the design of wooden shutters very much, which not only integrates the style of the Republic of China, but also conforms to the dual pursuit of lighting and privacy of the old houses. The pattern of the background board on the bedside comes from "Peking Notes" co-edited by Lu Xun and Zheng Zhenduo during the Republic of China; the note on the bedside is half-cooked rice paper produced in cooperation with Nanjing Shizhu Zhai, which is another unique style choice. These details alone are enough to impress people, not to mention the full set of customized indoor furniture, whether it is a customized drum stool from Jingdezhen or a tea table made of Iranian green stone, all show extraordinary taste.

The bathroom space is equally charming. Lefroy Brooks 'retro hardware faucets, bathtubs and basins, customized white jade glaze wash cups from Jingdezhen, and even the wash bags are specially designed woven bags. All of them bring people an endless imagination of the glory of the Republic of China.

The most wonderful thing about this room is the semicircular balcony. Spring is coming. There is sunshine and vitality here, and you can also suddenly feel the classic fusion of simplicity and modernity in Nanjing.

As a culturally themed hotel, the most special thing about Yihe Mansion is its dissemination of culture. The hotel has specially selected several villas for display, featuring Republic of China costumes, Republic of China furnishings, Republic of China educational books, Xue Yue's Anti-Japanese War display, etc. The theme is to show the social style of the time. What's more particularly, the hotel also cooperated with the Jinling Engraving Office to develop a woodcut watermark experience activity, so that guests can experience the art of woodcut watermarks at that time.

If there is anything extraordinary about Yihe Mansion, I think it is its excellent catering level. I believe everyone has also noticed that the hotel's banner page also contains the logo of the well-known hotel alliance Relais Château. That's right, being able to be absorbed by this hotel alliance, which has almost strict requirements for catering standards, has fully represented the catering standards of Yihe Mansion. As the only member hotel in Nanjing, Yihe Mansion is worth checking in for both Chinese and Western food.

Chinese food is selected from the first restaurant opened at Wanguochun Chinese Restaurant. The villa where the restaurant is located is called Dongyinlu. There are also private private rooms to choose from in other nearby villas. This is also a Chinese restaurant that has won numerous awards since its opening.

The Republic of China cuisine that Wan Guochun specializes in is a very innovative cuisine. It combines Huaiyang cuisine, Huibang cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Subang cuisine and other cuisines, plus some local ingredients and cooking techniques preferred by Nanjing, and is presented in Western-style portions. It gives people the illusion of going back in time. This spring, Yihe Mansion's Wanguo Spring focuses on seasonal river seafood, bringing every guest a taste feast in Jiangnan.

The four dried fruits and four cold joints that started are all based on the four beautiful women of the Republic of China. They are outstanding in appearance and can't bear to use chopsticks. The two meats and two vegetables in the cold pie include both Jiangnan characteristic fish jelly, as well as solid scallops, bitter gourd clear mouth and pumpkin sweetheart, which are just the right combination.

Passion fruit cherry blossom jelly will definitely be a girl's favorite. This season, when the cherry blossoms are put into vegetables, the passion fruit is sweet and sour, a very amazing appetizer. After refreshing, the rich color is the steamed fish brain and flower glue soup. The steamed fish brain is a test of Huaiyang cuisine. If you are not careful, it will smell fishy. However, the products here are not only fresh but smooth, and it is still not enjoyable after a bowl. Spring leek snail rice river shrimp is stir-fried with seasonal tender leeks, snail meat and river shrimp to highlight the unique flavor of river fresh food. When paired with Jinling sesame balls, it is also a magical stroke, making the taste more complex.

Shrimp seeds, watercress, spring bamboo shoots, and Jiangnan celery buds are marinated. There are my favorite seasonal ingredients, spring bamboo shoots and watercress. The season for broad beans is extremely short. Jiangnan people prefer this bite, mixing shrimp seeds and adding fresh food with endless aftertaste. Bright moon river mussel stewed raw and raw, and the two types of river fresh are particularly rich after simmering. The plump meat quality of the eel makes the taste satisfying. Morel stewed with chrysanthemum tofu is a kung fu dish and one of the signature dishes here. It is full of flavors and shapes.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum oil is soaked in the sea area of eastern Fujian. I use my favorite flavor of Zanthoxylum bungeanum to highlight the sweetness of the big yellow croaker. The firm meat quality also fully demonstrates Wan Guochun's pursuit of top ingredients. The flat egg fish is dipped in the tip of the pea as a finishing line. The pea tip is also added to the dish. You can feel the collision of taste buds clearly and cleanly, bringing the perfect meal to an end.

Across the distance from Wan Guochun is the hotel's century-old Western restaurant. This three-story building is exquisite and graceful. The main dining area on the second floor has a beautiful terrace and delicate decoration. The steeple slope on the third floor adds a special sense of ceremony and more solemn.

The century-old production can be regarded as the masterpiece of Nanjing's French cuisine, and the restaurant has always maintained a stable level of business. I had a high-quality dinner here. Low-temperature salmon with caruga caviar and French fried foie gras with Italian vanilla vinegar are the signature dishes among the appetizers. Don't miss them for a century. Seafood and offal are very important to the chef's skills. These two dishes are basic, but you can also taste the taste of innovation.

The main course is also a balanced mixture of one fish and one meat. The refreshing taste of turbot fish with mushrooms and Dutch sauce is my favorite. I can feel the umami flavor of turbot fish. Angus eye meat is served with celery paste and seasonal vegetables. It is another traditional grilled dish. When medium rare, the meat quality is very balanced and it also locks the gravy. The taste is very smooth.

Yihe Mansion has established a sample of the Yihe brand and laid the tone and foundation of the brand, which has also given every Yihe hotel in the future a solid foundation for development.

In 2018, the Yihe Mustard Garden Hotel, located in the east of Laomen, an online tourist area that has been popular in recent years, opened. This is Yihe's third hotel in Nanjing. Different from the previous two Republic of China style, this hotel shows another history and another face of Nanjing. The hotel relies on the Mustard Seed Garden, a famous Jinling Garden built in the early Qing Dynasty. After renovation, this villa and private garden owned by Li Yu, a famous celebrity in the early Qing Dynasty, has become one of the most important attractions in the south of Nanjing and the east of Laomen.

Therefore, in the Mustard Garden Hotel, Li Yu and the elements of Kunqu Opera have also become a golden thread running through the whole process, bringing guests back to the lush era of the "ancestor of hundreds of operas". Even if you don't live in a hotel, it is highly recommended to visit the Mustard Seed Garden. Today's Mustard Garden is already a fee-paying attraction, but it is a privilege for in-house guests to swipe their room card to enter the park through the exclusive channel in the hotel.

In this garden, which covers an area of less than three acres but is known as the "Huzhong Tiandi", all kinds of Jiangnan gardens are full of elements, including the strange rocks of Taihu Lake, the winding pavilions and corridors, and the lively pools and clear ponds. Guests can visit without tourists in the morning and enjoy the luxury of owning the garden.

The hotel consists of two groups of courtyards, north and south, with extremely beautiful passages between courtyards. As a semi-open classical garden courtyard hotel, it not only retains a certain degree of privacy, but also conveys an attitude of harmony with the times. The main entrance to the hotel is in the north courtyard on Taojia Lane. Except for the word "Mustard Seed Garden" on the lintel, it does not convey too much signal about the "hotel".

The Nanyuan Garden View Suite I stayed in this time is the most recommended room type in the entire hotel. The building of Nanyuan is close to Mustard Seed Garden, and the building is only two floors long. Therefore, the guest room facing Mustard Seed Garden upstairs is very precious, and the Garden-View Suite has this kind of treatment. The suite is spread horizontally along the garden wall, from the toilet to the living room to the bedroom, the garden is everywhere, and there is an oversized landscaped balcony, which is really amazing!

There is a porch at the entrance, and behind the porch is a bathroom area with distinct functional separation. In order not to waste the beautiful scenery outside the window, the bathtub is specially placed next to the window. The three-in layout ensures the independence of each area and greatly increases the privacy and comfort of the home. The light and simple Chinese style that returns to its original nature can make people suddenly understand.

The space in the bedroom is equally spacious, with a royal concubine couch and a long table on both sides of the bed, making it suitable for leisure and work. On the long table, you will also find many interesting little objects, which may best represent the character of this hotel.

The most surprising thing was to see the thread-bound version of "Leisure Occasion". Perhaps the most unexpected gain was the opportunity to read Li Yu's most famous book in the room closest to Li Yu.

After careful exploration, there are too many exquisiteness in this room that has been melted into the bones. "Looking at mustard seeds and seeing Xumu", perhaps this is the most precious character of Yihe Mustard Seed Garden Hotel. There are artworks mounted in the room from the late Qing Dynasty's stone printing edition "The Map of Mustard Seed Garden", rice paper notes customized with woodcut watermarks, a three-piece purple sand pot tea set, and even the cups and soap plates for washing are made of Jingdezhen powder and green glaze! I especially like his environmentally friendly fabric toilet bag. The pattern on it is also rubbbled from the "Mustard Seed Garden Map"!

Nanyuan is also the location of the hotel's main restaurant, Wanguochun·Chinese cuisine restaurant Zhou Jintang. This is also Wan Guochun's second branch in Nanjing.

Needless to say, the elegant environment of the restaurant is elegant, and the dishes are surprising. I was deeply impressed by the same seasonal spring dishes produced, but still able to bring into full play my own characteristics.

The four flavors are cold-cooked, the characteristics of the four beautiful women of the Republic of China inherited from Wan Guochun. They have the same two meats and two veggies, and have excellent appearance and taste. Osmanthus sugar taro seedlings, an authentic Nanjing sweet snack, officially opened.

Green leek eel soup is rare to use eel soup. The taste can especially reflect the unique umami of eel. Tomato sauce refers to orange peony prawn flowers, which made me know orange. It seems like a bead bursting on the tip of my tongue, but it is a real natural fruit. Zhangshugang Chili Sauteed Snow Beef, a classic Western Chinese dish, retains the fatness of Snow beef fat and the tenderness of the beef itself.

Mendong Double Flavor (shepherd's purse, spring shoots, seedlings, grass and mussels) is a must-miss seasonal dish this season. Steamed rice with Yuanbei in the evening, the sweetness of the cabbage in this season is set off with the thick seafood flavor. Jiangnan shredded mandarin fish with celery sprouts is a typical home-cooked stir-fry, and you can eat it fresh in one bite. Stir fry Malantou makes the ingredients that we usually only use for cold mixing into fast-fried, because the moisturizing effect of clear oil makes the taste of this common spring ingredient different.

The emergence of Yihe Mustard Seed Garden has given Yihe Hotel more possibilities. It combines it with history and culture and matches the context of urban development, representing that Yihe's future will be more blossoming.

As the debut of Yihe's "Hermit" brand, Yihe Hermit Water Street Hotel can clearly express the word "Hermit". This hotel is located inside the Wuding Gate of the Nanjing City Wall. It is built next to the Qinhuai River and is adjacent to the leisurely water of Bailuzhou Park. It is not only in the bustling city, but also away from the hustle and bustle to enjoy nature. Isn't this what the seclusion expects to bring?

"Jiangnan beautiful land, Jinling Imperial Prefecture. The winding winds with green water, and the bamboo stands up the Zhu Tower."The famous sentences in Xie Wei's" Entering the Morning Song "seem to be poems tailor-made for the secluded water street. The area around Bailuzhou Water Street where the hotel is located has a rich historical background dating from Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms. It has experienced many celebrities such as Zhou Chu of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Xiao Yan of the Southern Dynasty, and Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty, spanning thousands of years. Today's secluded water streets change day and night, like the evolution of history, continuing the story into a new chapter.

The Hermit brand focuses on "non-daily leisure and vacation space hotels". It is not only a hotel, but also a leisurely leisure district of its own. On one side is the Ming City Wall of Nanjing, and on the other side is the river course of the ancient Qinhuai River. Occasionally, Qinhuai cruise ships pass through the hotel, which also becomes a wonderful scenery here.

From the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby, I could feel a fresh and elegant calm style, which made me relax naturally. The hotel's rooms and rooms have views, either lush gardens, quiet Egret Island, or rippling Qinhuai River. They are scattered in different gardens. The light and shallow contemporary new Chinese style can instantly pull people away from the busy reality and feel the leisurely life.

There are two distinctive suites here, which I love very much. The first one is the Yihe Suite, which I stayed in this time. I would like to call it the place where I dreamed of living in Jinling. I love the row of garden corridors leaning against the river so much. Looking at the scenery or seeing me by tourists passing by on a cruise ship, I feel like traveling through.

Entering the house is a screen entrance with excellent privacy. The three functional spaces paved horizontally along the river bank all face Qinhuai. In the middle is the living room, and the bedroom and bathroom are separated on both sides without disturbing each other. The door of the living room is the riverside; I love the Italian pump coffee machine equipped in the room. When I live here, I will DIY a cup of fragrant coffee, grab a bag of free snacks from the minibar, and sit on the inner porch. Take a sip on the bamboo chair, and let the time go by is life.

The bedroom is subtracted, without much decoration, and only retains the most basic facilities related to sleep. The plain white bedding and the wood-colored integrated ancient wooden low cabinets complement each other, much like traditional houses in Jiangnan in ancient times. The bedroom has a rich cultural atmosphere, with Go and picture scrolls making people calm.

In the open bathroom space, there are enough lockers and an oversized deep-soaking bathtub, and the shower room is located next to the window, making it more transparent and bright.

The secluded suite leaning against the side of Bailu Island Park is also a room type that I highly recommend. The landscaped terrace facing the park allows people to have a more intimate and direct connection with Bailu Island.

This suite has an open living room layout that connects the living and sleeping spaces.

The bathroom space adopts the same design as the Yihe Suite, providing excellent comfort.

Louhuyuan, the third branch of Wanguochun·Chinese cuisine restaurant, is also located on the water street, standing next to the river.

I like the names of the restaurant rooms very much. Dongfucheng, Zhuangyuanjing, Tongxiali, etc. all echo the ancient place names of Jinling Imperial Prefecture and are always imbued with the cultural origin of the city. The restaurant is led by Master Lu, the executive chef of Yihe Chinese cuisine. While inheriting the quality of Wan Guochun, it also develops specialty delicacies such as Qinhuai Eight Wonders and Jinling Boat Cuisine.

When visiting at this time, you might as well try the spring Qinhuai Boat Banquet and use river delicacies to string the whole spring. The banquet started with four-cold rice and Nanjing-characteristic sugar taro seedlings. The sweetness and saltiness were suitable, and my taste buds were immediately awakened.

Chrysanthemum leaf sword fish wonton flower gum is the time when seasonal river knives are on the market. Wonton is filled with sword fish and is delicious in one bite. It is worthy of being known as the first fresh food in spring. Spring bamboo shoots, shrimp seeds and shrimp balls also combine the most abundant shrimp seeds of this season and the king vegetable "bamboo shoots" in spring to set off the sweetness of the shrimp. Stewed abalone with fresh river meat in Ming Lu is a dish that adjusts the taste. The refreshing and rich taste makes the best preparation for the next dish.

The spring double flavor of spring leek snail rice sesame brocade bag with sweet peas, asparagus and cherry blossom shrimp once again organizes the taste buds with a fresh flavor full of breath. The fresh peas of leek snail are sweet and full of spring flavor in one bite. Pepper flavored soy sauce mandarin fish uses the now popular Sichuan-Hunan flavor to evoke the unique flavor of river delicacies. The slight spiciness of pepper and green pepper rings well highlights the umami flavor of mandarin fish. Finally, it ended with the old marinated noodles on Shuijie, and Jinling began and ended in Nanjing.

I have always felt that Hermit Water Street is not so much a hotel as a private garden that "sleeps peacefully and tastes fresh". It has a sense of unreality as traveling back to the previous dynasty, but it has a solid sense of sweetness and comfort. The memories are left in the hearts of every visiting guest. Perhaps this is the greatest charm of this hotel.

In the end, this Yihe Hotel, which is easily ignored, is the most special existence. Its "Jinling flavor" fascinates me. The building in which the hotel is located was built in 1912. It is the only "Western Castle Style Republic Building" in Nanjing. It was once the famous Yangtze Hotel during the Republic of China. Today, Yihe reappears this century-old classic hotel in the world.

This is a hotel full of "immersive" style. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was completely immersed in the atmosphere created by the hotel. I thought that I had broken into a "Republic of China party" and traveled through time. I felt like I was in a museum rereading history. The illusion, perhaps this is what makes the Yangtze Hotel special. This season, the cherry blossoms and white magnolia trees in the yard are in full bloom, giving the place full of vitality.

The entire Yangtze Hotel consists of two buildings, one large and the other small, as if they are connected. The main body of the building is made of "Nanjing Ming Dynasty City Wall Brick", so the name of the brick-laying maker can even be found on the wall. With the evolution of the times, the bricks of the Ming City Wall have long been included in the category of cultural relics protection, and there is no longer a new building built with "bricks" on the city wall in Nanjing, making it a masterpiece in history.

The hotel is full of the style of the Republic of China that combines Chinese and Western. The exterior of the French castle during the Renaissance is embellished with Chinese-style constructions and decorations. Western fountains, common arches and semi-basements in ancient castles, scattered dormer windows, stained glass ceilings, mahogany stairs and Chinese-style carved railings, etc., all vividly display the cultural collision during the Republic of China.

This time, I chose the largest single room in the hotel: the Yangtze Suite. This suite is located on the top floor of the main building and is the only room hidden under the beautiful red sloping roof. The structure of this room is very special, like a private mansion during the Republic of China. The living room is the most spacious in the suite.

Pushing open the old-style shutter door is the most charming small terrace in this suite. It has sunshine and is even better.

Inside is the bedroom, and there is an oversized walk-in cloakroom in the corner. The four-poster bed is very charming, but what is even more charming is the tiger window, which reminds me of the old house I lived in when I was a child and the time when I was lying on the windowsill and looking at the scenery through the cracks.

Further inside is the bathroom. I especially like some of the details, such as the sink with a stainless steel high tripod, the 15-degree tilted makeup mirror, the four-claw bathtub, etc., which reproduces the strong charm of the Republic of China and is fascinating.

In addition to this suite, there is also a very special room in this 7-room hotel, which occupies an entire building and is called "Villa Building 12". Although the area is slightly smaller than the Yangtze Suite, it is also very popular because it has an independent villa.

The rooms are located on the second floor of this villa and have a long and narrow L-shaped layout. As always, the style of the Republic of China is consistent with other rooms, but what is especially true is that this room has an independent partitioned office space, which is more in line with the needs of business people.

In this season when warblers fly and grass grow, Jinling City is full of scenery. Yihe's four hotels in Nanjing provide excellent locations for guests to stay. Yihe Mansion and Yangzi Hotel are located in the north of the city. Near it are the rippling blue waves of Xuanwu Lake and the colorful cherry blossoms of Jiming Temple. In the distance, there are the peach blossoms of Qixia Mountain and the tiger and dragon plates of Zijin Mountain.

The Yihe Mustard Seed Garden and Hermit Water Street in the south of the city have naturally become part of the scenic spot. Laomen East of Mustard Seed Garden and Confucius Temple on Water Street can feel the different scenery between early morning and still at night without too many tourists. You can also go a little further and go to the Dabaoen Temple, once the oldest temple in China, which is now restored with high-tech means, and to Niushou Mountain and Jinling Town, where visual shock and religious value coexist. They are all unforgettable destinations that are exciting.

And I believe that Nanjing City has different beautiful scenery all year round. There are flowers in spring and wind in summer, and bright moon in autumn and snow in winter. Let's make an appointment: Nanjing, Yihe, we will see you in the summer!
