Fangyuan Hotel Zhengzhou

Fangyuan Hotel Zhengzhou (方圆酒店) is a budget hotel on East Jianshe Road in the Wulibao area of Erqi District, Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province in central China. Erqi District is best known for the Erqi Memorial Tower, which commemorates the railway workers' strike of 7 February 1923, and it lies south-west of the old city core, close to the main railway station. The surroundings mix older residential streets, markets, small shops and busy roads, giving a local, everyday atmosphere rather than a polished tourist one. Metro lines, buses and taxis connect the area to the station, the old city and the Henan Museum, while Xinzheng International Airport lies to the south-east and is reachable by road or by the airport intercity railway with a transfer. The hotel is in the economy category, and specific history, ownership and architectural details are not confirmed. Listed room types are Double and Twin, with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. There is no spa, pool, gym or on-site restaurant listed, so guests usually eat in the surrounding streets, which offer hui mian noodles, dumplings, steamed buns, lamb dishes and hu la tang soup at low prices. Rates commonly run from ¥130 to ¥220 (about $19-33) per night, among the lower prices in the city. Foreign guests must show a passport at check-in for registration. The service style is basic and practical, geared toward short stays. The hotel suits budget travellers, rail passengers and independent visitors who value low cost and a local setting over amenities. Those needing extensive facilities should consider hotels in the city centre or the Zhengdong district instead.
