After a couple of solid days we have now completed all but one of our bookings. Looking over them, there is an eclectic mix.
Kunming - Fairyland Hotel Dongfeng Square - no images worth showing.
Dali - Mountain Delights - just outside the old town but the reviews were great and the bus stop close.
Lijiang - FarnerBa Hotel - good reviews, wi-fi, just outside the noisiest part of the old town but a close walk. One factor was that, unlike many hotels in the old town, a taxi can actually get to the front door.
Yuanyang - Yunti Hotel - hard to book a hotel here on-line. This one looks OK and has had reasonable reviews. The location is as good as they get here.
Guilin - JIngGuanMingLou Museum Hotel - located on one of the lakes, it is central but with views and some nice walking.
Yangshuo - Camellia Resort - I hope we get a room with this view. If not we will have to spend some time in the restaurant.
Huangshan - this is a stop-over place on the way to and from XiDi so we chose two hotels. The first, the Huangshan Hukaiwen Hotel is close to the bus station for the following morning. A fairly utilitarian choice.
The second hotel, also just for one night, looks a bit more interesting. The Huangshan Design Boutique Hotel is located close to the train station for the next morning. The exterior looks harmless enough, but the rooms .....
Nanjing - Orange Hotel - good location and we couldn't resist the fruit on the bed.
And finally, Shanghai - the Elegance Bund Hotel - less elegant than the name might suggest but a good location, close to the Bund and Nanjing Road, and what looks like the world's smallest hotel 'swimming' pool.
That's it. Just waiting for an email from the last hotel - perhaps they couldn't understand my Chinese.
