Nanjing’s Gaochun district is one of China’s “International Slow Cities,” and the Guchengwan Kaiyuan Resort sits right inside the Guchengwan scenic area, a stone’s throw from Gaochun Old Street — one of China’s ten great historic streets — and separated from Gucheng Lake by a single causeway. The hotel’s entrance hides in a lane to the east, arranged around a pavilion theme so the resort feels cut off from the outside world, with the water system and natural landscape given over to the room wings. Inside, the lobby is bright and modern-minimalist, with a glass canopy framing an upside-down cypress and a white deer statue, and a 6-metre-high glass lounge looking out over the lake gardens. The hotel has about 160 rooms, most of them waterside, in a “quiet inside, lively outside” style.

The base tier covers a 40㎡ superior king or twin room (2 m × 1.8 m king, or two 2 m × 1.35 m twins, no extra bed), breakfast for two (¥98 value each), one hairy crab (2.5 liang, ¥58 value), 2 Guchengwan scenic tickets (¥50 each, unlimited entry during the stay), one indoor children’s park admission (¥88 value), the first round of in-room minibar drinks, Bailu Forest petting zoo access, and gym, WiFi and parking. Higher tiers add a family set meal (¥598 tier) or breakfast for three plus a petting-feeding portion (¥899 family room, with a 2 m × 2 m bed plus a 2 m × 1.2 m single bed).

⚠️ Good to know: Reserve ahead — the upper tiers require booking by 17:00 the day before; show your booking code, phone number and ID at check-in (15:00; check-out 12:00). Saturday stays add ¥150 per room-night. A free shuttle runs inside the scenic area, and Gaochun Old Street — a street of farmhouse restaurants — is just outside the gate. Address: 29 Chunxing Road, Gaochun District, Nanjing.

“I have to praise our butler Erfan — always with a gentle smile, meticulous and thoughtful, whether we asked about sightseeing routes or room needs. The hotel enjoys a superb view, wide and scenic, and the stay, food and play all scored full marks. A really worthwhile break!” — 185****1032 · merchant review

“We’ve been to Gaochun many times — it’s really good for family outings with kids. Just across the street is Gaochun Old Street, so eating and drinking are convenient. The surroundings are lovely, there are performances on holidays, and the Guchengwan night view is beautiful. The shuttle is handy too. Strongly recommended for families!” — 李*** · merchant review
