| Zhuangyuanlou Inn is absolutely amazing. 🎈 Choosing where to stay when visiting Taierzhuang Ancient City is crucial! After extensive research, I opted for Zhuangyuanlou Inn, and it turned out to be the best decision ever!
📍 Prime Location
Entering the ancient city through the East Gate, it's just a 3-minute walk to the inn—no hassle even with luggage. Situated in the heart of the ancient city, the inn is super close to all attractions and performance venues. For example, catching the "Qianlong's Tour" show was a breeze—just a short stroll away, so I never worried about missing the start. After the show, I could leisurely walk back to rest. So convenient!
🏞 Stunning Ambiance
The inn features a traditional Beijing-style courtyard with elegant Chinese design. Stepping inside, I was instantly captivated by the skywell, stone carvings, and red lanterns—it felt like traveling back in time. By day, I relaxed in the courtyard, basking in the sun with tea; by night, I drifted off to sleep in the serene atmosphere of the ancient city. Pure bliss!
🛏 Diverse Room Options
Whether traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, there’s a perfect room for everyone. Cozy queen rooms, simple yet stylish twins, and thoughtful family rooms with kid-friendly decor and amenities. I stayed in a balcony room with a view—waking up to the ancient city’s beauty by day and enjoying the breezy nightscape from the balcony. The vibe was perfect, and the prices were incredibly reasonable. Great value!
🍱 Convenient Dining
The inn has its own spacious restaurant serving authentic Shandong cuisine. Their signature Grand Canal carp is tender and flavorful, while the Zaozhuang spicy chicken is a must-try—fiery and addictive (mild options available for those who prefer less heat). Paired with rice, I couldn’t stop eating! The menu also features local specialties, offering a delicious taste of Taierzhuang in every meal.
🎭 Shows Right at Your Doorstep
Taierzhuang Ancient City’s performances are spectacular, and staying at Zhuangyuanlou Inn puts you within easy reach of all venues. From flag-balancing lion dances to Lunan shadow puppetry and Liuqin opera, every show is just a short walk away. No rushing—just enjoy the show and head straight back to relax. So satisfying!
Choosing Zhuangyuanlou Inn for your Taierzhuang Ancient City trip will elevate your travel experience. Don’t hesitate—go for it!
