Jiyuan Hostel Boutique Hotel (Yangzhou Dongguan Street)  

In Yangzhou's atmospheric old city, a century-old inn that fuses historic grit with calm comfort. Set among classical garden lanes and stone streets, it puts you steps from the area's cultural sights and 2,500 years of local history.

Restored by traditional garden masters, the place pairs antique courtyards and cultural décor with clean, modern touches. Rooms are pared-back and cozy, with in-room TV and slippers, plus quiet communal corners like a library for slow afternoons.
