Travelogue
Hiding in a small nest in the alley, I caught the relaxation of Beijing spring in Yingxiang
At the end of March, with the mentality of "finding a place to stay near Nanluogu Lane", I booked Happy Dragon Alley Hotel, Beijing TianAn Men Forbidden City. Originally, I only wanted its convenient location, but after staying for three days, I realized that this was not the economy hotel I had expected to live in. It was a small nest that blended the relaxation of old Beijing hutongs into every detail.
The moment I pushed open the wooden door in the alley and entered the lobby, I let go of the exhaustion of rushing. There was no cold aroma of chain hotels, and the air was filled with the scent of freshly ground coffee. The front desk girl didn't rush me to complete the procedures, but instead handed me a cup of warm lemon water. I heard that I had just taken the high-speed train for two hours, and she kindly pointed me to the soft sofa in the corner of the lobby, asking me to rest for two minutes before getting my room card. The entire lobby is not filled with commercial decorations. There are old Beijing rabbit figurines on the shelves against the wall, as well as Beijing travel letters left by guests. You can easily dig up many niche locations hidden by locals by flipping through two books.
I live in a big bed room with a hutong view, and my first impression when I opened the door was that it was "much more comfortable than in the photo". A space of about 15 square meters is not wasted, and the zero pressure mattress against the wall is just right in terms of softness and hardness. The drowsiness I felt the day before on the high-speed train dissipated after lying down for less than ten minutes. The most surprising thing is the window facing the alley. Opening the blackout curtains, you can see the spring flowers branches protruding from the neighboring quadrangle courtyard. The wind carries a sweet fragrance of locust flowers, and there is no traffic noise from the main road in the city center. The bathroom has undergone a complete separation of dry and wet areas, with hot water coming out in seconds. Even the shower gel has a faint chamomile smell, and after a day of wandering in the alley, the dust all over the body disappeared after taking a shower.
The thoughtfulness in the details cannot be hidden: I casually mentioned that the charging cable I brought was too long and easy to trip, and the housekeeper who tidied up the room turned around and left me a cable straightener; In spring, the air in Beijing is dry. A small humidifier has been set up in the room in advance, so I don't have to call the front desk myself to ask for it; In the evening, I wandered down the alley until ten o'clock and came back. The coffee machine in the lobby was still running. The front desk saw me holding the Tomatoes on sticks I had just bought, smiled and handed me a wet paper towel, saying, "The wind is strong in the alley, and the hands stained with sugar are easy to dry". The self-service laundry room saved my life even more. I wandered around the Great Wall and got my coat covered in dust from my shoes. I threw it in for washing and drying in one hour, and even provided free laundry detergent and fabric softener, so I didn't have to carry my dirty clothes back to the hotel by myself.
The most unforgettable moment was one evening when I wandered back to the hotel after visiting the Yonghe Temple. I sat on the small steps at the entrance, enjoying the breeze. The foreign tourist who was staying next door had just taken a photo from the alley, and the young man at the front desk was chatting with him in fluent English about which alley had the best blooming crabapples. The wind was blowing locust petals at our feet, and there were no crowds of people crowded without any attractions. I suddenly understood why so many people were willing to come back after staying.Show moreCome to Beijing to live in the right location and save half the effort! I can recommend this hutongkou hotel to all my friends
As a deep foodie who visits Beijing at least twice a year, I have finally reached the ceiling of cost-effectiveness in the Wangfujing Nanluoguxiang area - Happy Dragon Alley Hotel, Beijing TianAn Men Forbidden City. This time, I stayed for three consecutive nights without having to take a taxi during the morning rush hour. I had to walk and take the subway to fill all the spots I wanted to visit. The transportation and surrounding convenience were more convenient than any downtown hotel I had stayed in before.
The location of the hotel is truly a treasure hidden in the bustling city: from Exit A of Zhangzizhong Road Station on Line 5, take two turns and walk 300 meters to reach the entrance of the alley. You don't have to walk on bumpy stone roads to drag your luggage, and even shared bicycles can be parked directly at the hotel entrance. What's even more amazing is that it happens to be stuck in the middle of three popular spots: Wangfujing, Nanluoguxiang, and Yonghegong. I calculated it by ticking the clock: walking for 10 minutes to the north entrance of Nanluoguxiang, you don't have to squeeze the crowd on the main street, just pass through Xiaohutong at the back door of the hotel, and you can also stroll through the less crowded Yuer Hutong on the way; Walk for 15 minutes directly to the south gate of Yonghe Temple. You don't have to get up early in the morning to take a taxi. You can walk slowly and just in time to open the gate, saving you even time in line.
The surrounding transportation network is extremely dense: except for Line 5, it takes only 8 minutes to walk to Line 6 Dongsi Station, which provides direct subway access to Chaoyang Joy City and Beihai Park without transfer; There is a bus stop 50 meters away from the entrance. Take the 106 bus for three stops directly to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. After strolling around Tiananmen Square and watching the flag drop at night, take the 128 bus for four stops and return to the hotel. There is no need to compete with others for ride hailing services in Tiananmen Square. On the third day, I went to Badaling Great Wall. In the morning, I walked back to Zhangzizhong Road Station from the hotel, took Line 2 to Jishuitan, and got off the subway at Deshengmen Bus Station. The whole journey took 40 minutes, one hour earlier than my friends who were stuck on the road near the Second Ring Road to reach the foot of the Great Wall.
What surprised me most was the fireworks around the hotel, completely avoiding the premium trap around the scenic spot: turn left and walk for two minutes, which is the old Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) shop in Beijing that has been open for more than ten years. The sesame paste Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) with three yuan each is crisp until it falls. In the morning, all the people queuing up are the old neighborhoods nearby; There is a convenient vegetable market within a five minute walk, where spring Chinese toon and strawberries are fresh and cheap, much more cost-effective than snack shops in scenic spots. If you want to visit a small art shop, walk west for ten minutes to reach the Dongsi Hutong Museum. Along the way, there are cafes and handmade shops hidden in quadrangle courtyards, with few people and beautiful scenery, making it ten times more comfortable than the internet famous shops crowded in Nanluogu Lane.
I didn't even open the taxi app this time when I came to Beijing. All the trips were completed by walking and taking the subway. Even the most troublesome problem of traffic congestion at the tourist attractions before didn't exist in front of the location of Happy Dragon Alley Hotel, Beijing TianAn Men Forbidden City. If you want to explore the old city area next time you come to Beijing and don't want to waste time in traffic, this hotel can really just close your eyes and rush.Show more
