Escape to China: Luxurious Stay Near Wujiang Pingwang Bus Station!
Okay, buckle up buttercups! Because this review of "Escape to China: Luxurious Stay Near Wujiang Pingwang Bus Station!" is about to get REAL. Forget those sterile travel articles, we're diving in deep, warts and all. (Mostly the good warts, thankfully…)
First Impressions (and some minor panic): Accessibility, Oh My!
Alright, so, "near Wujiang Pingwang Bus Station"… shudder… Initially, that sounded a bit intimidating. I pictured a chaotic crush of buses, dust, and questionable street food situations. But, thankfully, Escape to China eased those fears. The Accessibility seems… well, it’s good. They say they have Facilities for disabled guests, which is a huge green flag. While I'm not personally disabled it's a massive plus, and always a sign of thoughtful management, not just a tick-box exercise. The Elevator is a godsend. Let's be real, after lugging your luggage around, the last thing you want is a stair climb. A good start.
Getting Connected (or, The Internet Saga):
Okay, internet, internet, internet. It’s a make-or-break deal for me. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! And Wi-Fi in public areas! Double YES! Did it always work flawlessly? Nope. Look, sometimes my connection was a little spotty, especially in my room. But honestly, I chalk that up to the fact that I'm in China, and sometimes the internet just… plays games. They have Internet access – LAN in the room too, so I could have fallen back on that if the Wi-Fi was being a total diva. Which I didn’t bother with, because who uses LAN anymore really? Internet services are listed as a thing so, it's probably OK and there is Wi-Fi for special events. So, overall, connectivity is there. It’s there, it's mostly good, and, seriously, I have come to expect a little drama with the internet in these parts. So, I'll give it a pass. I needed to upload some ridiculously embarrassing holiday photos, and for the most part it held up.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe and (Relatively) Sane
Okay, pandemic times. Gotta talk safety. They're taking it pretty seriously, which I appreciate. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer galore… all good signs. They have Rooms sanitized between stays, and the option to Room sanitization opt-out available. They're also rocking Staff trained in safety protocol and Professional-grade sanitizing services. And because of all these things, I felt… safe. Not completely carefree, mind you, but definitely comfortable. The CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property gives a nice feeling of "they care". They really do seem to be trying. And to top it all off, they have a Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, a Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, and Safety/security feature in every room and Security [24-hour].
Food, Glorious Food (and the occasional existential crisis in the buffet):
Escape to China nails this. Seriously. I'm a foodie, and I can be a tough critic. The Restaurants are plentiful. They have an Asian restaurant, a Vegetarian restaurant, and an International cuisine in restaurant. Breakfast in room is a lovely option. A Breakfast takeaway service is available, which is perfect for grabbing a quick bite. And the coffee/tea in restaurant and the Coffee shop are absolutely essential to keeping my sanity.
The Breakfast [buffet] deserves a special shout-out. I LOVED IT. Yes, the buffet can be overwhelming, and I saw a couple of things that looked… interesting (let’s just say, fermented tofu is an acquired taste). But the sheer variety! From the usual Western breakfast fare (eggs, bacon, pastries, etc.) to the Asian breakfast delights (dumplings, noodle dishes, congee), there was something for everyone. Okay, confession: I might have eaten three plates of the pastries. Don't judge me. They also had A la carte in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, and Soup in restaurant too. The food was really, really good and there was a Poolside bar, Snack bar to keep you ticking. I even had the Bottle of water!
The "Relaxation" Department (aka, Where I Got Blissfully Lost):
Okay, this is where Escape to China really shines. This is where I spent a significant chunk of my time, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
- The Pool with view: The outdoor Swimming pool [outdoor], and Swimming pool, are everything you'd want after a day's exploring or just a day of chilling out. I took a dip in the Pool with view which I found to be a perfect way to start my day.
- The Spa: Oh. My. Goodness. The Spa is next level. I had a massage, a truly transformative experience that left me feeling like a limp noodle in the best possible way. They also offer Body scrub and Body wrap, but I stuck with the massage because, well, bliss.
- The Sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath: Okay, I’m a total sucker for a sauna. The Spa/sauna with a Steamroom is phenomenal. The Foot bath was also nice and was a welcome treat after a long day of exploring.
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: I'm not the biggest gym buff but I popped in. It was modern and well-equipped.
The Room: My Personal Fortress of Comfort
Okay, my room was a proper sanctuary. They have Air conditioning in every room, which is a must in China. I had a Separate shower/bathtub, a Bathtub (I love a good soak!), a Coffee/tea maker (essential, people!), and a Refrigerator stocked with goodies. The bed was massive, the Extra long bed made for a supremely comfortable sleep. They have Blackout curtains that blocked out all the annoying daylight, so I can sleep whenever and wherever I feel like it, haha! They had loads of nice touches like Bathrobes, Slippers, and Complimentary tea. They had an In-room safe box for peace of mind, and Non-smoking rooms. The Desk and Laptop workspace were handy for getting some things done.
The Miscellaneous Goodies (and the occasional head-scratcher):
- Services and conveniences: They have all the usual services you'd expect Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, and Smoking area.
- For the kids: Haven't a clue, I don't have kids. But they do have Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids meal. Which is a really nice touch for families.
- Getting around: They have Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking.
- Business: They have Business facilities, Meetings, Meeting/banquet facilities, Seminars, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Indoor venue for special events, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.
- Added Bonuses: There is a Convenience store for those last minute things. Check-in/out is made easier by its Contactless check-in/out, Front desk [24-hour]. There is a Gift/souvenir shop. The Doorman always gave a warm welcome and was helpful.

Indonesian Paradise: Your Romantic Oceanfront Getaway (K189)
Okay, buckle up, buttercup! This isn't your polished travel brochure itinerary. This is the raw, unfiltered truth of a trip to Jinjiang Inn Select Wujiang Pingwang Bus Station, China. Prepare for whiplash. And apologies in advance if I get lost in the details, because that's kinda my specialty.
The Raw & Real Jinjiang Inn Select Wujiang Pingwang Bus Station Itinerary - A Disaster Waiting to Happen (and Loving It!)
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic (aka "Where in the World Am I?!")
Morning (like, REALLY early): Landed at… somewhere. China. Still blurry. The flight was a blur of crying babies, questionable airplane food, and that weird feeling you get when you're pretty sure you blinked and the entire world changed. Seriously, jet lag is a sociopath.
Transport: Somehow, miraculously, made it through customs without accidentally smuggling a kilo of… something. Now on a bus. The bus's air conditioning is either a raging blizzard or a humid swamp. There is no in-between. Currently, we are experiencing the swamp.
Destination: Jinjiang Inn Select Wujiang Pingwang Bus Station. Sounds… clinical. Like a hospital specializing in bus station-induced anxiety. Praying that it's not.
Check-in: Oh, the check-in. This is where the real adventure began. The language barrier is as thick and impenetrable as a brick wall. Me with miming, Google translate on life support, and the lovely receptionist looking completely unfazed by my flailing. I learned the word "Passport" in Mandarin. And they learned I am an idiot. Win!
Room Inspection (aka "Is This Bed Actually a Bed?"): Okay, the room. Surprisingly clean! But the bed… feels… suspiciously firm. I'm expecting to sleep on a concrete slab. And the pillows? Let's say they’re more decorative than supportive.
Lunch: Found a tiny noodle shop. I pointed at something that looked vaguely edible. It was. Spicy! My mouth is on fire. Worth it? Absolutely.
Afternoon: The Pingwang Bus Station Discovery (or, "Why Did I Think This Was a Good Idea?")
- Okay, so I thought I'd be this intrepid explorer, embracing the culture. Wrong. After a short walk I quickly realized the 'Bus Station' is actually a massive hub of human activity. More chaotic and packed with the smell of street food and exhaust fumes. The sheer volume of people is mind-boggling. People everywhere. Vendors shouting, children laughing, scooters weaving like kamikaze pilots. It's a sensory overload and I am in full-blown panic mode.
- The Food Stall Saga: Did I mention I love street food? Well, I went for the dumplings! The stall lady was so kind and the dumplings were AMAZING. So good I ordered another two servings. My stomach is paying the price now.
- Lost in Translation, Literally: Tried asking a local for directions. Big mistake. Ended up somewhere completely different, possibly several provinces away. Found a cute little girl who kept pointing to a toy and yelling, "Nǐ hǎo!" which I think means "Hello!". It was adorable.
Evening: Dinner & Bed (or "Accepting My Fate")
- Found a restaurant. It had pictures! YES! Chicken and rice, thank the culinary gods. The tea, however, was… interesting. Slightly floral, possibly medicinal, definitely not what I was expecting.
- Bedtime is imminent. The concrete slab of a mattress is calling my name. Pray for a good night's sleep. Or at least, a sleep that doesn't involve me waking up screaming in a cold sweat.
Day 2: Delving Deeper (and Probably Making More Mistakes)
Morning: Woke up! Surprisingly, I survived the night. The concrete bed wasn't entirely miserable. Coffee is a must. Found instant coffee in the room. Success!
The Bus Station Again (aka "Embracing the Chaos"): Decided to actually try to navigate the bus station this time. This time, I actually bought a ticket to… somewhere. No clue where. Adventure! (or, impending doom).
Transport Hell (and maybe heaven, who knows?): It involved a mini-bus, and a few other vehicles. The roads are a total mess.
Afternoon: The Temple Visit (or, "Finding Inner Peace… Sort Of")
- Found a temple. It was… beautiful. Serene. The incense was thick, the air filled with chanting. Felt a weird sense of calm. Maybe I'm finding my zen? Maybe it's just the lingering effects of the delicious dumplings from yesterday?
- Observation: The way people interacted with the deities was fascinating. So much respect, so much reverence. Made me, a cynical city dweller, feel a tiny bit… moved.
- The Imperfection of Zen: Then, a screaming toddler. And a guy loudly slurping noodles. So, yeah. Still a little chaos. But even that was kinda… perfect.
Evening: Dinner & Reflections (or, "Am I a Tourist or a Mess?")
- Back in the hotel. Ordering food online. Translation apps are my best friend in this world.
- Today was good. And bad. And weird. I'm not sure I'm grasping anything, but I'm trying. This place is challenging and beautiful and exhausting and… I kind of love it.
- Bedtime again. The concrete slab awaits. Tomorrow, who knows? Probably more chaos, more mistakes, more wonder. And that's exactly what I want.
Day 3: Departure (aka "Goodbye, Concrete Bed! Maybe…")
- Morning: Last morning. The hotel is beginning to feel a little less alien and more… comfortable? Is that the Stockholm Syndrome setting in? Probably.
- Last Look Around: A final stroll through the streets. Soak it up. The vendors, the smells, the chaos. Taking a mental picture to remember.
- Farewell: A final thank you to the lovely receptionist. Even with the language barrier, she was kind. This trip was a wild ride.
- Departure: Back to the airport. Back to… reality? Or, has the reality of Jinjiang Inn select Wujiang Pingwang bus station changed my reality… forever?
- The Takeaway: The language barrier, the food, the crowds. This place is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Yet it was an adventure. It also made me rethink everything I thought I knew.
- Final Thoughts: I'm exhausted. I'm exhilarated. I'm already planning my return. Maybe I'll even learn a little more Mandarin… probably not. See ya!
So, "Luxurious Stay?" Really? Is it worth ditching instant noodles for?
Is it actually *near* the bus station? Because I’ve been lied to before. (Looking at YOU, that hotel in Budapest with the "charming canalside view" that was a literal dumpster.)
What about the food? My stomach handles things like an over-loved puppy – easily won over, easily disappointed.
Is there a spa? (Asking for myself. Who am I kidding? I hate people at spas.)
What about the internet? Because I need my online fix. (Judge me later.)
Anything I should *absolutely* avoid? Besides questionable congee?
Okay, *specifically* about the rooms. Are they clean? Functional? Are there tiny shampoo bottles? Because those are important.
Would you recommend it? Be honest. Don't be a travel agent robot.
