Today’s issue gives a collaborative event by Meituan & InterContinental Hotels Group. Everyone will first receive exclusive discount coupons, and today’s orders offer rather good value for money. The offerings from InterContinental Hotels Group are quite impressive, with most hotels allowing you to stay in beautiful scenery.
First, let’s discuss how to obtain the coupons.
Scan the QR code in the image below to enter the Meituan live streaming room where you can collect the exclusive coupon package. In the shopping cart, you can receive coupons worth 50 RMB off a purchase of 599 RMB, 90 RMB off a purchase of 999 RMB, 150 RMB off a purchase of 1499 RMB, and 200 RMB off a purchase of 2000 RMB, but the last one is limited to 2000 coupons, and once they are gone, they are gone.
Let’s talk about the offerings, starting with three redemption options. Generally, everyday redemptions are relatively rare.
1) **Holiday Inn & Holiday Inn Express for 2 nights with breakfast for 599 RMB (549 RMB after coupon)**
Eligible at 118 different locations
Valid until June 30, 2024, no price increase on any dates (although some locations may have blackout dates, particularly concentrated around Labor Day).
You can redeem at 118 locations of Holiday Inn & Holiday Inn Express, with a slightly higher number in the Express category. Here are a few recommendations:
– **Chongqing Guanyinqiao Holiday Inn Express**: A good option to stay while visiting Chongqing.
– **Ningbo Fenghua Holiday Inn Express**: Suitable for a visit to Fenghua in Ningbo.
– **Sichuan Emei Mountain Holiday Inn Express**: Adjacent to the Huangwan Tourist Center of Emei Mountain Scenic Area, with hot spring facilities available.

– **Jiuzhaigou Holiday Inn Express**.
– **Nanchang Bayi Square Holiday Inn Express**.
– **Sanya Bay Holiday Inn Express**.

– ……
Since there are many Holiday Inn Express options with this redemption, and they are generally more standardized, the rooms are quite similar. When redeeming, it is advisable to check the calendar prices simultaneously. While many hotels support redemptions, not all may offer a cost-effective package. It’s wise to compare prices thoroughly.
2) **Crowne Plaza & Huayi & Holiday Inn & Holiday Inn Express for 2 nights with breakfast for 799 RMB (749 RMB after coupon)**
Available in 48 cities across 93 locations
Valid until June 30, 2024, no price increase on any dates (but some venues may have blackout dates, especially around Labor Day).
With this redemption, you can access Crowne Plaza and Huayi, with two nights including breakfast at 799 RMB (749 after the coupon), which is a high value. Key recommendations include:
– **Sanya Center Crowne Plaza** (no price increase during Labor Day), located in the city, a great hotel for Sanya trips due to its convenient location.
I’m not too familiar with the rest. It’s the same; you should compare prices thoroughly when redeeming. Meituan has also offered discounts, essentially making it another 50 RMB off the base price of 799 RMB.
3) **Crowne Plaza & Huayi & Voco & Indigo & Holiday Inn & Holiday Inn Express for 2 nights with breakfast for 999 RMB (909 RMB after coupon)**

– **Zhuhai Yuecai Crowne Plaza**: A good choice for trips to Zhuhai or Macau.
– **Lanzhou Crowne Plaza**: Right by the Yellow River.

4) **Hangzhou Tianmu Mountain Hotel Indigo Deluxe King Room for 2 nights with breakfast (not displayed on the page) + 1 big and 1 small adventure park ticket for 1199 RMB (1109 RMB after coupon)**
Valid until June 30, 2024, with additional charges during weekends, Labor Day, and Dragon Boat Festival (see page for details).
This Indigo hotel opened last year, and we visited but didn’t promote it due to what we felt was an initially high opening price. However, hotel prices have significantly reduced this year, with 1109 RMB for two nights, which is a great deal.
Located in Tianmu Mountain Town, it’s 9 km from the West Tianmu Mountain Scenic Area and 16 km from the East Tianmu Mountain Scenic Area, as well as 15 km from the Tianmu Grand Canyon. If you’re planning to visit Tianmu Mountain, staying here is a good choice.
The hotel features unique design elements, and staying at an Indigo hotel won’t give you that cookie-cutter feel.
Moreover, the hotel’s children’s club is quite well designed, with a children’s pool available.
The basic room is 36 square meters in size, being a new hotel, the quality of the rooms is assured, and the basic room includes a balcony.

5) **Shenzhen Dameisha Jingji Intercontinental Resort for 1 night with breakfast (not displayed on the page) + Yuan Coffee Restaurant 200 RMB voucher for 1499 RMB (1349 RMB after coupon)**
Valid until June 30, 2024, with supplementary charges of 300 RMB per night on Fridays, 800 RMB on Saturdays, and 2000 RMB for the Labor Day period (April 30 – May 4), and 800 RMB for the Dragon Boat Festival (June 8-9).
The resort is immediately adjacent to a two-kilometer stretch of golden beach in Dameisha, Shenzhen. Due to its location, the pricing remains relatively high.
The hotel is very family-oriented with plenty of recreational facilities for children. The hotel has its own beach, and they even provide free sand digging tools for kids.
The infinity pool at the hotel is stunning, and the indoor pool is temperature-controlled.
The design of the hotel is quite impressive, incorporating large floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, offering excellent views and light.
The basic room at Dameisha Intercontinental features a sea view, with an area of 50-56 square meters. This is one of the flagship hotels of the Intercontinental group in the Pearl River Delta.
6) **Deqing New City Ancient Town Holiday Inn for 1 night with breakfast (not displayed on the page) + afternoon tea + two-person ticket for New City Ancient Town scenic exhibition, for 599 RMB (549 after coupon)**
Valid until June 30, 2024, with supplemental charges of 100-150 RMB per night on Fridays and Saturdays, and 500 RMB during Labor Day (May 1-4), and 200 RMB during the Dragon Boat Festival (June 8-9).
The hotel is adjacent to Deqing New City Ancient Town, one of Jiangnan’s seven major ancient towns. The other six include Nanxun, Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen, Xitang, Tongli, and Luzhi.
We have visited this hotel, which opened last year and was designed by HBA, a rarity in Holiday Inn designs. The whole hotel is by the Grand Canal, combining both ancient and modern aesthetics.
Now about the rooms.
The basic room is 38 square meters in area, available with either a king-size or twin beds.
The rooms stand out significantly, all featuring balconies with pleasant views, either of the garden or the canal. Note that the balcony area isn’t included in the 38 square meters.
The hotel provides the “White House” series toiletries, which are quite good.
We have written a very detailed guide on New City Ancient Town, which you can refer to for more information 👉 In This Underrated Ancient Town Just One Hour from Hangzhou, We Found the Secret of How the People of Zhejiang Get Through Winter.
We even created a diagram marking all the great restaurants in New City Ancient Town, with most within walking distance of the hotel, making it very convenient.
By the way, the lamb dishes in New City Ancient Town are famous, so make sure to try a bowl of lamb noodles.
7) **Chengdu Global Center Intercontinental Paradise Hotel for 1 night with breakfast (not displayed on the page) + 200 RMB dining credit (usable for bills over 600 RMB) for 777 RMB (727 after coupon)**
Valid until June 30, 2024, with no price increases on weekends, but 500 RMB per night during Labor Day (April 30 – May 4) and 200 RMB during the Dragon Boat Festival (June 8-10).
This Intercontinental has significant advantages. It’s suitable for families, couples, and guests looking to explore Chengdu and its surroundings; it’s also convenient for those traveling from other areas (which I am, given its location).
The hotel benefits from excellent transportation options—there’s a metro station right outside, and a taxi ride from the airport takes only about 20 minutes. You can reach popular attractions within 30 minutes by subway.
The Global Center, where the hotel is located, is a prominent landmark in the high-tech zone and was once the largest single building in the world. Therefore, the facilities available are comparable to a small town—everything you could want for a weekend without leaving the Global Center.
