Dongjiao State Guesthouse  

On the peaceful southern slopes of Zijin Mountain, Nanjing Dongjiao State Guesthouse sits roughly 6 km from Nanjing’s center and within 9 km of Xuanwu Lake, Confucius Temple and the Qinhuai River. The property lives in a gardened, natural-oxygen setting that feels a world away from the city buzz.

Built in 1957 and once hosting party leaders and foreign statesmen, this guesthouse mixes historic gravitas with comfortable, sophisticated rooms. Rooms vary by category but commonly include a TV, mini-bar and slippers, with elevator access and tranquil mountain views from the grounds and terraces.

Take a dip in the pool, work out in the gym, or unwind at the bar and terrace. The property also offers a restaurant, garden, parking, concierge service and practical touches like dry cleaning and ironing. Wake up to fresh mountain-air mornings in this peaceful retreat.

Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property, and on-site parking plus elevator access make short business stays convenient.

An on-site restaurant serves meals and a bar is ready for evening drinks — a simple, comfortable place to refuel after exploring Nanjing.
