Not all the lights are brands

We are staying at the Grand Central Hotel, centrally located on Jiujiang Road. It is the second in a chain, of which the first, Central Hotel, is next door. This splendid confection is the lights on the top of the Central. (it doesn't actually lean: that's the bus!) Very appropriate!

The Grand Central is a business hotel, run to 5* standards, with all mod cons (except wifi in the rooms. This blog is updated using their Ethernet.) We got it at very good value through booking.com, having read reviews on tripadvisor.
