Jinjiang Inn in Changsha on Wuyi Square
Is a very affordable Hotel, it’s clean, not the newest but has an In-House Restaurant with buffet breakfast, a-la-cart lunch and dinner and friendly service. However, speaking English guests need to be a bit more tolerant. They have palm cards with typical arrival and departure questions to point on and an answer list, they will show you to point at. Security is 24 hours on hand, so you can feel save & secure there. The Hotel is very recommendable for shopaholics as several Shopping Houses, roads with side stands, basement and alley-way stores, old traditional shopping streets and ultra posh monster warehouses are right around. For an example: opposite Wuij Ave is a narrow street going off with roadside old traditional food stores on the right look for the violin playing Johann Strauss monument on the opposite side and look up. A sky scraper with a multi level upper class shopping complex where one can buy a Royce Royce, Merc or Maserati and just everything else, even shoe laces and a whole level on first class fine dining restaurants can be found on level 3 and 4, western or traditional, so bring an empty suit case. The only down side, Wuiy Ave is an eight lane road and some unavoidable road noise is to hear when the room’s window faces that way.
We find this hotel to be the gem in golden opportunity surroundings and had a very good time connecting with the real down to earth China, thinking to visit again.
