Mekong River Jing Land Hotel

Gaozhuang truly transforms from day to night; its real charm only emerges in the evening! The melodious hulusi, the graceful Fannuo dance, the endless neon lights, the exotic Dai electronic music, and the bustling Ganbai Street. Since I'm not a fan of guesthouses, I always choose the Mekong Jinglan Hotel for my stays. I visited Gaozhuang two years ago and also stayed at Jinglan. The facilities, location, views, and service were all top-notch. So, for this trip to Gaozhuang, Jinglan was again my top choice! The room interiors, bed frames, and even the exterior walls are all well-maintained, indicating that the hotel is well-managed and invests in its upkeep, creating a positive cycle. This time, I'm staying in Gaozhuang for 4 days. I initially booked a two-day River View Executive Twin Room. At check-in, the lovely Miss Xiaoju at the front desk warmly welcomed me and helped arrange a high-floor room as requested. When I learned about the in-house suites on higher floors (fewer than 5 available, with better views, and not sold on platforms), Xiaoju proactively offered a key card for me to view them. After some discussion, Xiaoju offered a very favorable price within her authority. Consequently, I decided to book the in-house suite for another two days. A huge thank you to Xiaoju for her help! My vacation wasn't long enough this time to stay for the Dai New Year Water Splashing Festival. I'll definitely come back when I have more time to experience the three-day carnival!

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the Starlight Night Market. The river-view rooms offer a direct view of the Lancang River, the Starlight Night Market, and White Elephant Beach! I stayed on the south side of the river for New Year's Eve and watched the fireworks show, and this time staying on the north side was a great, varied experience! They upgraded our room to one with a river view, and the scenery is beautiful. However, the bass from the Six Nations Music Plaza downstairs plays continuously until after 11 PM, so those with heart conditions should definitely reconsider!!! The hotel lobby is grand, fresh, and elegant, with a rich Dai ethnic flair. The reception staff's Dai traditional clothing is beautiful and graceful! There are welcome drinks in the lobby! The hotel offers free hot springs, a water park, and an infinity pool. The hot spring water is relatively clean, but a few pools had some moss, which I suggest they clean promptly! The pool faces the Lancang River directly, making it perfect for photos! Breakfast was abundant, with a wide variety of delicious options! The service was warm and friendly; staff actively smiled and greeted guests! This hotel offers excellent value for money and is definitely worth revisiting!

The environment is great, and any issues guests had were resolved. The hotel lobby is spacious and bright, with a strong local flair. Breakfast offers a wide variety of options, and the fruits are fresh and delicious. The sky water park is a lot of fun, and the Jinglan Art Museum has many artworks.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a short walk from the Starlight Night Market. The lobby is grand and opulent. Facilities are comprehensive, and while the East Tower, which offers apartment-style rooms, might be a bit older, the cleanliness is impeccable. The hotel also features a water park, and you can see children happily playing there every day. There's even an art gallery on the second floor, making the hotel's overall environment fantastic. The front desk staff are also very responsible and enthusiastic.

This hotel offers a comprehensive range of amenities and boasts an excellent location, just a short stroll from the vibrant night market. The lobby's lighting design is exceptionally beautiful, with sophisticated and grand decor that exudes luxury and elegance.

This is the best choice if you're traveling with kids! The water park was my children's favorite; they could spend the whole day there. It's a massive kids' water park, plus there's a huge adult swimming pool, two smaller heated pools perfect for toddlers, and several other warm plunge pools. The breakfast was incredibly rich and varied, and the rooms come equipped with a fridge and a washing machine. Indoor play areas and dining facilities are all readily available.

Just got back from our Spring Break trip with the kids. We didn't plan much, just booked this hotel directly based on several colleagues' recommendations – it was much cheaper than during Chinese New Year! The front desk and room service were excellent, and the location next to the Starlight Night Market was perfect. They even upgraded our room for free. The lobby is grand, and my kids loved the swimming pool downstairs. The breakfast was definitely five-star quality. My only minor complaint is that the room itself was quite basic, feeling more like a guesthouse. Also, this area is incredibly inconvenient if you don't have a car, and the cost of food and getting around is too high. It was an experience, but once was enough for us.

The hotel's location is quite good. We were visiting from out of town and didn't have a car, but getting to public transportation (Gaozhuang Tourist Distribution Center) from the hotel was super convenient, only about a 10-minute walk. We'd visit a different tourist spot each day, then come back to the hotel around 4-5 PM to enjoy the water park – it was incredibly relaxing.

The environment here is pretty good. The hotel breakfast isn't very extensive, but the night view of Xita is beautiful. However, it doesn't get quiet until around 11 PM, so I wouldn't recommend it for early sleepers.
