Nanjing Suning ZhongShan Golf Resort
Stay at the Suning Zhongshan International Golf Hotel in Nanjing and enjoy the peace and convenience of Zhongshan Scenic Area. With subway, shopping, and great food nearby, it's the perfect base for exploring Nanjing in depth.
🏨【First Impressions】Push open the hotel doors and you're instantly hit by a sense of privacy and calm—totally different from the hustle of city hotels. ✨ Its 4.5 rating on Ctrip is well-deserved; many guests mention how quiet it is, with birdsong instead of traffic noise, making for a great night's sleep. 🌟 Check-in was quick and efficient—no queue, and the whole process took about five minutes. 🏨 The lobby's high ceilings are impressive, but what really caught my eye was the view of the golf course outside—lush green and wide open, like being in an urban oasis. 🛏️ The room is warm-toned, with soft, comfy bedding and pillows at just the right height. I didn't want to get up. 🌸 Soundproofing is excellent; with the window closed, you barely hear any traffic—a real blessing for light sleepers. 🍃 Overall, the hotel blends luxury and nature perfectly, without any over-the-top decoration. It's all about genuine comfort. ☀️ Many guests say the service is super responsive—anything you need arrives within ten minutes. I experienced this myself: I asked for an extra blanket, and it was at my door in under eight minutes.
⛳【Core Experience】As the only hotel in Nanjing set within a golf course, its main draw is exclusive access to this green paradise. 📸 Open your window in the morning, and you're greeted by manicured greens and sand traps, with the scent of fresh grass in the air. It's refreshing. 🧳 I took a stroll along the course—it's completely cut off from city noise, with only the occasional sound of a swing. A full loop takes about 30 minutes. 🗺️ The Zhongshan Golf Club is open to hotel guests; even if you don't play, you can try your hand at the driving range—just check the session times when booking. 💫 This blend of sport and nature is something you won't find in a regular city hotel. 🌈 Plus, the hotel is right next to Zhongshan Scenic Area, so you can walk to Linggu Temple and Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum—no need to hunt for parking, which can be pricey in the area. 🏞️ For outdoor lovers, this is both a rest stop and a starting point for exploring Nanjing's history and culture. ✨ Many guests rave about the view rooms, which offer a panoramic vista of the course—different looks at sunrise and sunset. Definitely worth the upgrade, but check the fee when booking.
🚇【Getting Around】The hotel is about 2 km from Zhongling Street Station on Metro Line 2—a 20-minute walk. I'd recommend taking a taxi or bike-sharing from the station; it's just a few minutes away, and the taxi fare is about the starting price. 🏨 If you're driving, the hotel has a paid parking lot with plenty of spaces and easy access—check the rates when booking. 🛏️ Taxis and ride-hailing are super convenient; it's about a 20-minute ride to Xinjiekou business district, costing around 30 yuan. 🌸 From Nanjing South Station, a taxi takes about 30 minutes (around 50 yuan); from Nanjing Lukou Airport, it's about 50 minutes (around 150 yuan) on the expressway with good road conditions. 🍃 For tourists, Metro Line 2 connects directly to Xinjiekou, Daxinggong, and Confucius Temple, with easy transfers to other lines. Fares are about 2-4 yuan. ☀️ I tested it: one stop to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, two stops to Ming Xiaoling—no time wasted on the road. Each stop is about 3 minutes apart. 🌙
🛍【Shopping Nearby】The hotel has plenty of shopping options within walking distance. Forest Mall is a 10-minute walk away, with brands like Haidilao, Uniqlo, and Decathlon for daily needs and dining. 📸 Another option is Zijin Commercial Plaza, about 1.5 km away (20-minute walk), with Starbucks, KFC, and Watsons. Parking is paid at both—check the fees when booking. 🧳 If you need a supermarket, Suguo is about 15 minutes away on foot, where you can stock up on snacks and daily essentials at good prices. 🗺️ For those who don't want to leave the hotel, there's a small shop on-site, but prices are higher—a bottle of water costs about 10 yuan. 💫 I'd recommend checking out Forest Mall; it has a cinema and kids' play area, perfect for families. Cinema tickets are about 40 yuan. 🌈 Take a walk in the evening, grab a meal at Haidilao (around 100 yuan per person), and pick up some fruit for the room—it's very relaxing. 🏞️
🍜【Local Food】Don't miss Nanjing's local specialties: salted duck (about 30 yuan for half), duck blood vermicelli soup (around 15 yuan per bowl), and xiaolongbao (about 12 yuan per basket). ✨ The hotel's Chinese restaurant serves Huaiyang cuisine—delicate, light flavors, great for those who don't like heavy oil or spice. Check the price per person when booking. 🌟 For authentic Nanjing taste, try the Chinese restaurant at Purple Mountain Villa; their Jinling salted duck is tender and delicious. Again, check the price when booking. 🏨 There are also local snack shops near the hotel, like the old-school duck blood vermicelli soup place near Zhongling Street Station—rich broth, smooth noodles, and very satisfying for about 15 yuan. 🛏️ For budget-conscious travelers, Forest Mall has more dining options, from 30 to 100 yuan per person, like fast food at 30 yuan. 🌸 Many guests say the hotel breakfast is varied, with both Chinese and Western options—especially the freshly cooked noodles and jianbing, which are great. Check if breakfast is included in the room rate when booking. 🍃
🛏【Rooms & Amenities】I stayed in a deluxe king room, about 50 sqm, spacious with a bathtub and separate shower. The water pressure was good. ☀️ The bedding is down-filled with great support—no back pain after a night's sleep. Pillows come in soft and firm options. 🌙 The room has a smart toilet and electric curtains, which are easy to use and quiet. 📸 The hotel's facilities include a gym, swimming pool (heated, with clean water), and a chess room, all open to guests. Check the pool hours when booking. 🧳 Breakfast is buffet-style, with Chinese dim sum, Western bread, fruit salad, and more. It's best to confirm if it's included in the room rate; if not, it's about 80 yuan per person. 🗺️ Checkout is usually at noon; if you need a late checkout, talk to the front desk in advance—check the fee when booking. 💫 Parking policy may vary by booking channel, so confirm when booking—some platforms include free parking. 🌈
🏞【Activities & Tips】The hotel is right next to Zhongshan Scenic Area, within walking distance to Linggu Temple (35 yuan), Ming Xiaoling (70 yuan), and Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum (free). It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Linggu Temple and 25 minutes to Ming Xiaoling. 🌟 Purple Mountain Observatory is about 3 km away—a taxi ride at the starting price, with a 15 yuan entrance fee. Plan for 1-2 hours. 🌙✨ Wear comfortable sneakers, as you'll be walking a lot—likely hitting 10,000 steps a day. 🏞️ In summer, bring mosquito repellent—the area has lots of bugs. During peak season, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum and Ming Xiaoling get crowded; head out before 8 a.m. to avoid the rush and cut down on queue time by about 30 minutes. The hotel accepts foreign guests with passports, but it's best to confirm when booking in case of policy changes. Overall, this place is perfect for those who love peace, nature, and sports, as well as families and business travelers. If you're planning a deep dive into Zhongshan Scenic Area, staying here saves you a ton of travel time, making your trip more relaxed—you can visit multiple spots in one day.
