Nanjing Staycation | MiJu Hotel - Urban Charm and Poetic Views Through Floor-to-Ceiling Windows

📍First Encounter with Nanjing: Where History Meets Local Flair Before arriving, Nanjing’s "dual charm" captivated me—glimpses of its Six Dynasties opulence shimmered through the lantern-lit Qinhuai River cruise 💫, while the Republic-era architecture along Yilu Road felt like stepping into a sepia-toned photograph. The sweet taro dessert at Laomendong warmed my heart, the autumn grandeur of Ming Xiaoling’s Stone Elephant Road took my breath away, and the neon lights of Xinjiekou blended seamlessly with the blue-brick rooftops of Old Town South, weaving a unique urban tapestry. For our three-day trip, we chose MiJu Hotel near Nanjing Railway Station—just to stay closer to this "fusion of past and present." 🏨 Hotel Highlights: Spacious Comfort + Healing Views We came for the "big rooms and great prices," but the floor-to-ceiling windows stole the show! Swinging the door open, we were awestruck by the sunlit panorama 🌇—by day, sunlight flooded the room, framing swaying sycamore leaves and distant cityscapes alive with local energy; by night, the window transformed into a canvas of twinkling urban lights. Curled up in the plush bed, the vibe was pure magic 💖! Choosing this spot for a holiday getaway? Genius move. 🚆 Transport Perks: Nanjing’s "Comfort Zone" in 30 Minutes The location is a "lazy traveler’s dream"! A 5-minute walk to Nanjing Railway Station, Metro Line 1 whisking you to Xinjiekou or Hongshan Zoo, and taxis to Confucius Temple or Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum under 30 minutes 🚖. Wake up refreshed, follow the aroma to affordable eateries downstairs 🥢, and hit the streets—zero time wasted on long commutes. With kids in tow? This hassle-free stay is *chef’s kiss* for family trips! 🌟 Detail-Obsessed? You’ll Love This Hygiene heaven! Every corner sparkled ✨—crisp linens, spotless bathroom tiles, even dust-free AC vents. Traveling with little ones? Go barefoot without a worry. The surprise hit? The home theater room 🎬: kids building blocks under a giant cartoon screen while we lounged in bed streaming movies—blissful coexistence unlocked! 💬 Honest Review: Value That Speaks for Itself Flawless from service to setup: gentle, helpful front desk staff 😊; facial-recognition locks for security + convenience 🔒; 24/7 hot showers to unwind. Compared to nearby hotels? More space, kinder prices, *plus* those jaw-dropping views—total win! Lingering in the lobby at checkout, I already missed it. Nanjing’s beauty hides in Ming Dynasty brickwork, ripples across Xuanwu Lake, and lingers in MiJu’s window-framed vistas. Want a base that’s "close to sights, closer to comfort"? Come here—where the city greets you by day, and warmth awaits behind the door. *This* is how travel should feel 🌿.
