1) **Nanjing Dongjiao State Guesthouse Luxury Room**:
– Duration: 2 nights (first night includes breakfast, second does not) + Afternoon tea + Free movie screening
– Price: 1099 yuan
– Valid until: September 29, 2024. Extra 100 yuan per night on weekends; 300 yuan per night for Mid-Autumn Festival.
Finally, the long-awaited Nanjing State Guesthouse has arrived! It is situated on the southern slope of the Zijin Mountain in the Zhongshan Scenic Area, covering over 300,000 square meters. The environment is excellent; I’ll share some pictures.
We have stayed at this hotel; it’s located right inside a scenic area. There are free shuttle services to the Mugua Garden subway station, which is just 4 subway stops from Xin Street. The hotel is within a 10-minute walk to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, 5 minutes to Ming Xiaoling, and about 15 minutes to Meiling Palace. If it’s your first or second visit to Nanjing, you will definitely want to visit these spots.
Nanjing Dongjiao State Guesthouse is quite expansive; here is a hand-drawn map (contact the assistant for a larger version).
This hotel features a garden-style design, and has a Ziyuan Garden that combines the characteristics of Suzhou and Yangzhou gardens.
The hotel also has a 3D movie theater showing films that are synchronized with theatrical releases. This package includes free movie screenings (reservation required).
I was initially skeptical about the theaters being synchronized until I received the current screening schedule from the hotel. It’s common for hotels to have cinemas, but being able to show films at the same time as theaters is quite rare.
The Dongjiao State Guesthouse features a hot spring standard swimming pool, with dimensions of 25 by 50 meters, equipped with underwater speakers. The pool maintains a constant temperature of 26°C to 28°C year-round. Additionally, the hotel has an indoor tennis court, something only a guesthouse like this could offer.
This package includes a luxury room, approximately 48-50 square meters, which is quite spacious. Here are some real photos of the room.
The package includes an afternoon tea at the Xin Dui Hall (one of the hotel’s gardens). The environment there is especially pleasant.
It should be noted that one night does not include breakfast, meaning one day includes breakfast while the other does not. In essence, the Dongjiao State Guesthouse is indeed quite good.
At 1099 yuan for two nights, with afternoon tea and one breakfast included, it is an excellent price. Calendar prices start at over 700 yuan per night for rooms with no amenities included.

A fantastic deal; it must be purchased!
2) **Sanya Haitang Bay One Hotel**:
– Duration: 2 nights including breakfast, 1399 yuan; 2 nights (without breakfast) + 500 yuan dining credit, 1299 yuan.
– Valid until: September 29, 2024, no price increase for all dates.
The summer deal for the Sanya One Hotel is also here. I really like this hotel, the first of its kind in Asia (1 Hotels), which emphasizes green and environmental consciousness. You’ll see a lot of volcanic rock and original forests at this hotel, which is surrounded by plants, trees, moss, and stones.
I always believed that among all the pools in Sanya hotels, the infinity pool at One Hotel is among the best, and it is an outdoor heated pool.
The top floor has a SKY BAR, a secret garden that offers a full view of Haitang Bay’s scenery. It is also an outdoor courtyard full of tropical plants with top-notch ocean views.
One Hotel is also very family-friendly, featuring a large indoor kids’ play area where children have plenty of fun.
The room is a garden pool view room, about 62 square meters. Every detail in the room is well thought out, including a wooden room card, paper hangers, recyclable wooden notepads, and water cups made from recycled wine bottles, while the balcony features round wooden stools that even show growth rings.
Opened in 2020, Sanya One Hotel is quite new, which ensures the room hardware is excellent.

A worthy purchase for the summer no increase price at Sanya One Hotel.
3) **Guangzhou Conghua Lingnan Oriental Hot Spring Hotel**:
– Room: 2 nights in a mountain view hot spring standard room (without breakfast + without pool access) + skyline pool access for 699 yuan; 2 nights including breakfast + 1 pool of hot spring water + skyline pool, 899 yuan.
– Valid until: August 31, 2024, no summer or weekend price increase.
This hotel is part of the Lingnan business travel group, opening in 2023. Its biggest highlight is that every room comes with a private hot spring tub.
699 for a two-night private hot spring room is excellent considering the scarcity in the Pearl River Delta region. Below is an image of the standard twin room with a mountain view, which includes a private hot spring on the balcony.
The package deals are attractive as the normal price averages over 600 yuan per night.
Additionally, the hotel features an independent hot spring area with 7 pools and 1 swimming pool. Conghua is known as “Lingnan’s first hot spring,” and the springs are truly authentic.
For entertainment, there’s an outdoor family-friendly park along with a game room for adults, so spending a couple of days is definitely enjoyable.

An unbeatable price, also scarce in the Pearl River Delta, worth stocking up.
4) **Haikou Langham Luxury Room**:
– Duration: 2 nights (without breakfast), 999 yuan (after discount).
– Valid until: September 29, 2024, no increase for summer or weekends.
Less than 500 yuan a night for Haikou Langham; this price is unprecedented. During the off-season, Haikou Langham’s rates are around 703 yuan per night. Prices will definitely rise in summer.
I have stayed at the Haikou Langham twice; it’s a vibrant pink-themed hotel, which is quite attractive and likely to be favored by many young ladies.
The rooms are bright cream white, with some pastel pink accents for detail. Here are some room photos; among many hotels, Langham’s rooms are notably beautiful.
This hotel is located on the 43rd floor, boasting a sky lobby for check-in. When I previously stayed, they gifted a pink rose to the female guests; not sure if they still do that now.
The lobby lounge is also on the 43rd floor. This bar combines white, gold, and pink accents with some green touches, creating a delightful atmosphere. If you visit in the evening, you can catch a view of the sunset over Haikou from here.
Langham’s afternoon tea is also commendable, with specially custom Wedgwood tableware【Langham Rose】used for serving, catering to great photo opportunities.

Make sure to stock up; this is a no-increase period in Haikou.
For Langham, you must first buy a valuable coupon for 1.1 yuan to offset 150 yuan, which can then be applied to this package.

The valuable coupon can also be refunded, so feel free to stock up.
5) **Xiamen Baolong Pullman**:
– Duration: 3 nights including breakfast + 1 dinner buffet for two, 1399 yuan.
– Valid until: December 31, 2024, with no increase for summer, National Day, and weekends.
The downside of Baolong Pullman is its age (opened in 2012 and renovated in 2016), but its location is absolutely excellent. The hotel is situated on a lakeside island in Xiamen’s Bai Lu Zhou Park, surrounded by greenery and a view of the city tree, the phoenix tree, and city flower, bougainvillea. It’s conveniently close to the ferry terminal to Gulangyu Island and the Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, with a subway station just about 400 meters away.
Bai Lu Zhou Park offers a great environment, so you can view this Pullman as a hotel within a Xiamen Park.
The rooms in Xiamen Baolong Pullman are about 30 square meters, virtually every room has a great view.
This package not only includes daily breakfast but also a buffet dinner for two. The buffet price at weekends is 189 yuan per person, so it’s not cheap. Friends who have dined here have mentioned an abundance of seafood.
1 purchase link: 37￥ CZ0001 tXCIWC6XbD0￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.gfjnahs/
I think this package is super cost-effective. Although there is no price increase for their availability during holidays, it’s advisable to book early as stock may be limited.
6) **Xiamen Langham Executive Room**:
– 2 nights including breakfast (with executive benefits), 1299 yuan (after discount).
– Valid until: August 30, 2024, with no price increase on all dates. Children receive a complimentary limited-edition teddy bear.
Xiamen Langham is located in Wuyuan Bay, within Xiamen Island. As I have mentioned many times, when visiting Xiamen, you should opt to either stay on the main island or on Gulangyu Island, which suits travelers better.
I have stayed at Xiamen Langham before; I really enjoyed their pool.
This package is for an executive room, just below the suite level, with an area of 40 square meters. Langham is part of the Langham chain, and its rooms often feature a white-based aesthetic, making them very appealing.
The executive room benefits include breakfast and an evening happy hour, allowing you to enjoy two meals on a budget (the dinner offered is simpler).
1 purchase link: 19￥ MF1643 eYfuWC76V5d￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.g4Flunk/
Also, you need to buy the aforementioned Langham valuable coupon first. If you’re traveling with kids, a limited edition Langham teddy bear will be presented.
7) **Liuzhou Ruili Wanda Jiahua & Nanning Ruili Wanda Jiahua**:
– 2 nights including breakfast (can be split), 896 yuan; 3 nights without breakfast (can be split), 1088 yuan.
– Valid until: September 29, 2024, with no price increase for summer and weekends.
You can easily visit Nanning and Liuzhou together, as the high-speed train connects these two cities in just over an hour. Both cities are quite delightful, and we have written detailed guides about them.
Liuzhou, the story is more than just a bowl of snail noodles!
Nanning, why has this incredibly delicious city not become popular yet?
Nanning Wanda Jiahua is not situated in the city center but rather next to a large cultural-themed Wanda Park. It boasts a design rooted in the Gui culture, giving it a resort-like feel.
The rooms here are 48 square meters.
Liuzhou Wanda Jiahua is located in the central business district of the Wanda Plaza, which opened in 2015 and requires around 600 yuan per night.
1 purchase link: 89￥ CZ3456 38ciWC6chFj￥ https://m.tb.cn/h.g4tVolM/
Both hotels typically charge around 600 yuan per night (without breakfast), so the price of 896 for two nights including breakfast, or 1088 for three nights without breakfast, is exceptionally cost-effective. Wanda Jiahua is a top-tier hotel in this third-tier city of Liuzhou.
8) **Suzhou Yachens Hotel**:
– 2 nights including breakfast, 999 yuan.
– Valid until: October 16, 2024, with an additional fee of 200 yuan/night for some weekends during Mid-Autumn and summer, and 400 yuan/night for National Day (October 1-5).
This hotel is excellently located in the ancient city of Suzhou, next to the IHG-managed Kimpton and close to numerous famous attractions like Shiquan Street, Wangshi Garden, Ke Garden, and Canglangting Pavilion, all within walking distance. The subway station is also conveniently located nearby, making travel easy.
Yachens opened last year, and having stayed at other Yachens locations, I can say that this brand focuses on shared spaces, providing a large common area suitable for guest interactions.
The basic rooms in Suzhou Yachens Hotel are about 30 square meters. New hotels typically do not compromise on hardware configuration.
