A Night at Yunwan Manting in Fuyang: Unlock the Slow Life of This City!

On a whim over the weekend, I decided to have an “unscripted city stay,” giving myself a brief chance to disconnect. Rather than hitting popular tourist spots, I prefer finding a cozy hotel in an unassuming small town, lying around daydreaming, wandering on foot, and soaking up a bit of everyday life and freedom. When I first arrived in Fuyang, it was the softest time of the afternoon sun. I carried my laptop case out of the West High-Speed Rail Station. A taxi ride of less than ten minutes brought me to my accommodation—Yunwan Manting Hotel (Fuyang Normal University/West High-Speed Rail Station branch). At that moment, I was a bit surprised: the area wasn’t noisy but exceptionally clean and orderly, with red brick houses, autumn ginkgo trees, and two or three dogs basking in the sun... The pace of this neighborhood seemed to lag just a beat behind time. 🏨 The room isn’t big, but it’s so gentle The queen room I stayed in gave me this first impression: gentle, clean, with air flowing. White walls paired with light wood flooring, and when the curtains were drawn, natural light flooded the room, complemented by warm lighting, effortlessly putting me into “free breathing mode.” The washbasin, desk, full-length mirror, and screen-casting TV... each quietly stayed exactly where it should be. No extra decorations, but just enough to fulfill the expectation of “living inside life.” I spent the whole afternoon nestled in bed reading, listening to podcasts, and even brewed a pot of the small green tangerine Pu’er tea provided in the room. Truly, it was that kind of comfort where the feeling of life outweighs any sense of ceremony. 🚶‍♀️ Just downstairs is the lifestyle Stepping out of the hotel and turning a corner, you find the Red Street Night Market in the university town and some local student-favorite hidden gems: 🍡 Grilled cold noodles, hand-shaken lemon tea, roujiamo (Chinese burger) all under ten yuan; 🛍️ Stationery shops, milk tea stores, photo studios, convenience stores—one street covers all your nightlife needs; 📚 Library, sports field, dappled tree-lined paths, perfect for solo strolls or chatting with friends while walking; I casually snapped a few photos on this street. When the streetlights came on, the autumn breeze was just gentle enough—not too cold, not too warm. It had been a long time since I felt this kind of relaxed “you can stop anytime, no rush” vibe. 🧺 Free laundry, self-service cinema, warm drink bar… 🎒 The hotel hides little surprises too Yunwan Manting gave me the feeling that it looks ordinary but is thoughtful in every detail. 🧼 There’s a free laundry room—I washed a sweatshirt on the way and even took the time to dry it in the autumn breeze; 🎥 The public projection room is very quiet; if you want to watch a movie late at night, you can sit there alone without disturbing or being disturbed; ☕ On the first floor, there’s a warm drink bar with tea bags and small cookies. I made myself a cup of rose mint tea at night—simply perfect; This place isn’t an influencer hotspot, nor does it have a filtered high-end vibe, but every little setup makes you feel genuinely cared for. 🚆 Transportation is hassle-free Don’t be fooled by the slow atmosphere; transportation is truly convenient: Right outside is a bus stop, with buses every ten minutes or so; It takes 15-20 minutes to get here from the high-speed rail station or airport; Shared bikes are so plentiful around that it feels like “home in your own city”; I even wondered if I had stumbled upon a “vacation-style budget hotel” hidden in the cracks of everyday life. 💡 Who is this for? If you happen to like: 🧘‍♀️ staying somewhere that lets you slow down and breathe deeply; 📚 a quiet place close to life where you can step downstairs and find good food; 😌 a healing little plan to spend a good day with yourself; 💼 a business trip room that doesn’t cut corners on comfort; then this hotel is probably exactly what you’re looking for. 💸 Value for money? The only answer is “really good” I stayed two nights over the weekend, paying less than 300 yuan total, booked just two days in advance. No disappointments with the room, attentive service, convenient location, and just the right atmosphere. No need for complicated decor or fancy breakfasts—just sleep well, walk around, pause, and daydream, and you’ll feel that life isn’t a rigid routine but a journey where you can always have a conversation with yourself. 🏨 Address: Yunwan Manting Hotel, Fuyang (West High-Speed Rail Station/Normal University branch) Recommended rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 Life may not be grand, but happiness looks just like this.
