Our first stop in Yangzhou was a stay at the Bing'ou Guesthouse, a century-old salt merchant's mansion.
The front desk staff and other employees were incredibly friendly, always greeting us. They proactively showed us the way to check-in, breakfast, and afternoon tea. The hotel's location is also excellent, within walking distance of Pishi Street and Dongguan Street.
We booked a standard room, but it seems we received an upgrade. The room was very clean and featured a spacious round bathtub. The TV quality was also noteworthy; watching movies in bed was very comfortable for two people. However, the soundproofing wasn't great, so we had to be mindful not to disturb other guests.
Breakfast was served next door. If you go early, you can grab a window seat with a garden view and enjoy some morning tea. However, we both found the taste to be just average, not as good as the Fuchun we had the next day. The afternoon tea drinks were average for a coffee shop, but the pudding was quite good.
Overall, it was a very satisfying stay.
