Ningxia is not the most hospitable during winter. Trust me. Dry, cold, unhospitable Yellow Earth plateau up in the northwestern frontiers of China. It was not without trepidation that I took my flight to visit Yinchuan, her capital city, after Christmas of 2015. I was on a business trip, and expected a full day of meetings with local officials and businesspeople. By the time my flight landed around noon, I was exhausted, and was badly in need of recuperation. ||||Little did I realize that I was about to be put up at the most luxurious hotel in town. The moment I walked into the glittering lobby, I was left gobsmacked. This is literally luxury out of nowhere, and I was quickly impressed by the modern facilities and sumptuous furnishings. The service of the front desk also came across as quite efficient. ||||The room was very large by urban hotels' standards, and, again, the furnishing was quite tasteful by the standards of a modern hotel in China, and the bathroom in particular was very well appointed and equipped. After hours and hours of conferences, I was able to relax in the tub at 2 AM the following day. ||||Unfortunately, I did not get to try the restaurant options this hotel has to offer.

Read moreI had already stayed in the same room 2 nights with a great experience. Then i was okey to expand my staying one more night at the same room. When i go to reception, it was a little bit crowded. I explained my situation and the lady in the reception told me there is no any room at the hotel. Then, i saw availability on trip.com then Mr.Brook at the reception helped me a lot to secure my same room. This was great help for me. Thanks Mr. Brook for your solution. At night I ordered a tiramisu but the restaurant told me they are in out of stock. If you are running out of stock you can delist the related products.You should definitely try the lamb soup. It was very delicious. Overall; Wanda Realm in Yinchuan provides great experience. It’s worth it to try.Thanks Wanda...
