Renovated in 2008, the hotel is housed in buildings dating back to the Ming Dynasty (500 years ago), which were then expanded from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty of over 600 years ago. It was once part of the mansion belonging to MuKuShi, the fourth daughter of NuErHaChi (the first Emperor of the Qing Dynasty). This historic city hotel comprises a total of 24 rooms and a garden.
