What do you mean by quaint neighborhood? If you would like a close distance to sites, dining and shops, it is suggested that you have a hotel in the central area, such as the People's Square and Jing'an Temple, or along the Bund.

For a leisure weekend, either Suzhou and Hangzhou will be recommended, maybe plus a water town such as Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen. As for the Terracotta Warriors, you should take a night train for about 13 hours or a 2-hour flight to Xian, and vice versa.

Thank you very much for your reccomendations. We really apprecite it. We are interested in the Pudi or the 88 hotel. Of these two which would you suggest?
