开远福永银发大酒店

所有房间都是480元，含西式简单早餐，非节假日可以打9折，但是早餐没了。住宿可以免去两张入院游览的门票，于是房价就变成380了。由于一共只有29间房，所以这个价格能在院子里享受夜晚的清静还是很值得的。房间里都是中式床，但可以睡得下两个人。住在这里，仿佛回到过去，自己就是古宅的客人，这不是光买张门票游览能够体会到的。

这里简直是享受宁静的避风港。这次旅行让我觉得回到了过去，真是一段愉快的经历啊！ 能有机会住在这样一个环境特别的酒店里，我认为有时费力地跟工作人员沟通是值得的。他们也非常努力地去理解我的意思。一旦他们明白了，就会竭力帮你。他们会帮你找公交车的班次，帮你订下一个酒店，在你去元阳旅行的时候，他们会帮你寄存行李。 建水是个好地方，很有气氛，值得一去。 早餐不是特别好，但没人在意这个。附近有很多面馆呢。

文庙是以前留下来的一个老庙，朱家花园也是一个旅游的景点，这两个地方从酒店出发走路就可以到了，而且它的豪华房也很干净，面积也很大，床也很舒服，尤其是卫生间，标准都已经超过了三星级酒店的标准，就是在酒店里吃的东西比较难找，但外面的小吃有很多，也不算不方便，在云南的小镇里这样的服务很难找的到了，大堂里的小孩都很不错，他们那边有一个一日游的活动，这里的小孩都会告诉你到哪里去玩。

You are really staying in a museum. The old house is beautifully restored and creates a truly unique experience. Each room looks different. Each courtyard has it's own style. I should mention that the rooms are fairly simple (something else would not match with the overall experience) but functional. Some travel guides mention a restaurant. We found a small bar (beer, coffee, soft drinks) but not a restaurant. This is not really an issue as the Zhu Family Garden is just in the center of (a part) of the old town. Nearby - less than one minute walk - are different good restaurants to eat.

I was teaching in Mile, I took a 4-hour bus to Jianshui to stay for 2 days. Zhu Gardens is also a tourist attraction, but it is even more magical to stay in for the night. What a gorgeous place, and the rooms..well, take a look at the photos! It is considerably more expensive than other hotels in the area but still not overly expensive I suppose in comparison to Western hotels. Yunnan is generally very cheap - It was sometimes only about £4 for a 3-course meal! Jianshui is become more of a Han Chinese tourist attraction, and unfortunately is becoming increasingly tacky, but at the moment it's still alright and preserved a lot of its culture and old buildings. Just don't go to the Zhu Gardens restaurant with the dancers..it's a rip off and not an authentic experience. There's a restaurant aimed at tourists with an English menu but serves really tasty local dishes just opposite the Gardens called Xianmanlou (or something like that). Otherwise it's really about trying the street food, and avoiding restaurants that look like they might give you poisoning! The hotel do make an effort to accommodate Westerners for breakfast, but you can see they're not used to it! Yunnan's main crops are tobacco and rice, so they don't eat much bread (or wheat products basically) apart from this weird sweetened brioche stuff. They eat spicy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The staff speak little English. The Western tourists there at the moment seem to all be French so maybe they know more French than English, je ne sais pas!
