Are you tired of the bustling and rustling city and longing for a quiet and peaceful place to relax? If Hangzhou and Suzhou are too far away for you, then you should try the Guhua Garden Hotel. It may enable you to be away from the skyscrapers, take a look at the classical gardens and architectures, and just enjoy the fresh smell of the earth in the countryside.

When you come to the Guhua Garden Hotel, you may immediately notice a majestic Chinese Pailou (decorated gateway), on which the Chinese name of the hotel is inscribed in four golden characters. Entering the hotel is like entering a traditional garden with small bridges, flowing water and winding corridors. The hill on the southwest side of the garden has a small pavilion and is covered with verdant plants.
