Yangzhou State Guesthouse nestles serenely alongside the Slender West Lake, facing scenic spots such as the Long Dike in Spring Willows(also known as Changdichunliu), Xuyuan Garden, and Little Gold Hill across the water, embracing the delicate charm of the lake's shimmering beauty. Encompassing 400 acres of landscaped gardens, the property features fifteen distinct buildings thoughtfully arranged throughout the grounds. Among them are Buildings 1, 2, and 9, which exemplify the artistry of classical garden design, while Buildings 8 and 18 showcase contemporary aesthetics, together creating a modern garden sanctuary that honors tradition while embracing the future.
More than just a place to stay, Yangzhou State Guesthouse is a pilgrimage destination for Huaiyang cuisine. It is home to the "Two-Diamond" Black Pearl-rated restaurant Quyuan Teahouse and the "One-Diamond" restaurant Shan, offering guests unparalleled culinary experiences. The property also boasts a range of premium facilities, including a 50-meter standard hot spring swimming pool, the elegant Lanpu Teahouse, a scenic gym, and a Chinese traditional-style travel photography studio, catering to guests' comprehensive leisure needs.
"Discover a city by staying within a garden." We go beyond providing mere accommodation, striving to create an immersive living experience that integrates Yangzhou's regional spirit and carries forward its millennia-old cultural heritage. Every moment spent here is destined to become a cherished urban memory.
"Our family spent a few days in Yangzhou and we were so glad we chose the Yangzhou State Guest House.
The room design was clean and bright, accented with pops of orange that made it simple yet far from monotonous. The staff were proactive, warm, and friendly, making us feel right at home.
The surroundings are beyond reproach; being part of the Slender West Lake gardens is a huge bonus.
We will definitely stay here again in the future.
My only suggestion is for the weekend breakfast: when it gets crowded, it would be a good idea to cover the items in the cold food section with plastic wrap, leaving just a corner exposed for guests to take their food. Clear signs could also be posted reminding guests not to chat near the food display, and asking anyone with a cold to kindly wear a mask to help maintain a clean and hygienic dining environment together.
Since guests come from all backgrounds, some people were sneezing near the food selection area, which was quite unhygienic."
