Stayed at Jinjiang Inn Cixi Youth Palace Hotel that night, standard room B, 135 yuan. This store is located in the center of Cixi City, at the end of a small road, and is very quiet at night. However, the room facilities in this store are old, the quality of cleaning services is average, and the handrails in the shower room in the room we stayed in are seriously rusty. A 10-minute walk to Yintai City Cixi Store, where there are many restaurants on the 6th floor. Finally, I chose a "Xufu" restaurant to eat. The business was good, but the quantity of dishes was small and the price was almost in line with Shanghai. A meal cost nearly 250 yuan.

Next to the hotel is the Cixi City Cultural Palace, and there is a performance in the square.
