Kunshan is home to a hidden paradise.

When you visit Jinxi in Kunshan, Suzhou, you must stay at this guesthouse! If you're tired of staying in city hotels, head to a resort for a weekend getaway and enjoy the countryside. I highly recommend [Kunshan Xidi Aranya Resort] 🏨 The resort is only about 3 km from Jinxi, so after visiting the ancient town, it's best to stay at this resort. Choose [Aranya Hotel] because it's a chain hotel brand, which means better service, a clean environment, and complete facilities compared to other private guesthouses. 🚗 Transportation: It's convenient to drive or take a taxi. It's about 30–50 km from Suzhou or Shanghai, which takes less than an hour. 🏠 Accommodation: My friend and I booked a whole villa. The first floor has a living room, bath room, and dining room. The second floor has two guest rooms. The third floor has a loft guest room. The villa has a south courtyard and a north balcony. Behind the villa is a village river with lush scenery that is so healing! The entire villa is decorated in an American country style, with a great aesthetic. The large white walls and wood 🪵 and linen create a natural and vibrant "home." The environment made me fall asleep as soon as I lay down. 😄 🙎 Service: The 24-hour service is meticulous. After booking, you'll receive location and parking instructions. When you arrive at the lobby, the butler will let you choose your favorite aromatherapy. In winter, if you want to take a bath, tell the butler in advance in the group chat. No matter what time it is, they'll come to help you with the water and bath bombs. The attentive service is what makes a good resort hotel! 🥗 Facilities: Breakfast is free, with a nutritious and healthy Chinese and Western buffet. The hotel offers various lunch and dinner options, with Western and hot pot restaurants. The Western restaurant is suitable for large gatherings and is super beautiful. The Chinese restaurant is in a tent at the entrance, where you can enjoy warm coconut chicken in winter! The hotel has everything you need, and you can enjoy the charming scenery. The most unique feature is the pool at the entrance. In summer, adults and children alike love playing in the water. There are also children's play facilities, and in winter, you can enjoy tea by the fire and take a bath at night. This is paradise! It's also nice to take a walk in the surrounding countryside during your free time. 💵 Price: Ranges from 500–2,000, which is super cost-effective. You can enjoy five-star service whether you book the whole villa for a party or stay alone! You must visit in autumn. The village is beautiful, and I'll write about the village scenery in my next post. Go see the wind blowing through the wheat fields!
