Nanjing | Settle into Yihe Road and experience the elegance and prosperity of the Republican era

When the magnolias bloom, it's time to visit Nanjing. It's said that 'a single Yihe Road tells half the history of the Republic.' This hotel, preserving the original Republican-era architecture, makes me feel even more the essence of the high life back then. Equipped with a 24-hour personal butler, because I have to catch an early flight the next day, they will deliver breakfast to my room the night before. From check-in at the 'Shenliutang' all the way through the winding paths to the front door of our little villa, everywhere is filled with a retro romantic charm. My room type is on the second floor, and the butler will help carry the luggage up. Going up the stairs, there's even a terrace facing me; the sunlight filtering through the louvred windows sprinkles on the parquet floor, and the dream of the Republic seems so distant, as if in a trance, I can hardly tell which era I'm actually in. The city is Nanjing, the trees are plane trees, and you are the one in my heart. I can always believe in the romance of Nanjing❤️
