Jin Feng Hotel Nanchang - 南昌

Rooms are typical Chinese business class hotel - somewhat small, nicely appointed, nice linens, smallish VERY firm beds, TV (HBO is only english channel), wired high speed internet, safe.

Bathroom was also tight but good quality fixtures and included toothbrush, tooth paste, comb, razor, shaving cream, and two small complimentary bottles of water.

Room service was average, but very cheap.

Hotel was using one makeshift dining area for breakfast/lunch/dinner buffet.

Advice: Walk back through the courtyard between the hotel and the restaurant and it opens into a quaint tree-lined street with local shops and residents going about everyday life.

Mini-bar is also very cheap, but there is a small grocery store just outside the hotel (across a small courtyard next to the restaurant described below - pop, candy, etc.

Excellent local restaurant in base of tall building just across a courtyard from the hotel - they have an English menu, but staff speaks very little English.

Ate there four times - very consistent and cheap - 5 adults, two babies, 10 bottled waters, 5 entrees cost about $18 U.

Limited English with some staff members, but it doesn't take long to find an english speaker.

Ask your translator/guide/hotel staff member to help you order.

Major renovation underway to be completed in early 2007 - pool, lobby, and most dining rooms were all out of service.
