Chengdu! I Found a New Hidden Gem - The Perfect Courtyard for Tea Time!!

🌸Chengdu! I Found a New Hidden Gem - The Perfect Courtyard for Tea Time!! Just checked out and I can't wait to share! With its traditional courtyard, zen tea room, and amazing amenities, it's truly an urban spiritual oasis 🌿 ### 🌳Stay in a Traditional Courtyard Like "A Dream of Splendor" Opening the wooden door feels like stepping back into the Song Dynasty! Gray tiles, dancing bamboo shadows, flowing water - every detail embodies restrained Eastern aesthetics. The owner says this was converted from an old residence, deliberately preserving the traditional Sichuan wooden structure while incorporating modern minimalist design. The result is both classic and sophisticated - every photo looks like a neo-Chinese masterpiece 📸 Our "Bamboo Hideaway" room was amazing! Custom solid wood furniture throughout, with subtle sandalwood fragrance in the air. Special mention goes to the **DUXIANA mattress**! It's reportedly used by Swedish royalty - felt like sleeping on a cloud. Even with my insomnia, I slept through the night 😴 The bathroom has heated floors + smart toilet, and even the hair dryer is **Dyson** - perfect for detail lovers! ### 🍵A Tea Ceremony with a Private Garden View Don't miss the "Sky Tea Room" on the top floor! The 270° glass room is surrounded by greenery, with sunlight filtering through bamboo blinds onto the tea sets, accompanied only by the sound of boiling water and wind chimes 🎐 The butler serves seasonal **Mengding Ganlu tea** with lotus pastries and panda-shaped tangyuan. Alternating between tea and snacks - this is the true Chengdu slow life! Secret tip 🤫: The 5 PM light is perfect for photos! Put on a qipao or hanfu, brew tea under the maple trees while listening to the rain - your social media will explode with likes 💥 At night, you can book a private hot spring bath with rose petals + aromatic candles for maximum romance! ### 🌿A Hidden Paradise in the City Center The location is incredible! You'd expect such a courtyard to be in the suburbs, but it's right in Qingyang District's old alleyways! 10-minute walk to **Kuanzhai Alley**, and around the corner is locals' favorite "Xiaotong Lane" - filled with artistic cafes, vintage shops, and authentic hot pot 🍢 Direct access via subway Line 4 "Kuanzhai Alley Station", just 15 minutes to Chunxi Road and Jinli - perfect for lazy travelers who want to rest at the courtyard between sightseeing! ### 📌Travel Tips ❶ Book a room with private hot spring in advance! Stargazing while soaking is amazing ✨ ❷ Ask the butler for the secret menu breakfast items: **Zhong dumplings + Ye'er ba**! ❸ The rooftop tea room is free but has limited "Ancient Tree Black Tea" - morning visits recommended ❹ Pet-friendly! Let your furry friends roll on the lawn 🐶 📍|Qingyang District, Chengdu - Kuanzhai Alley Area 🚇|800m walk from Exit D of Kuanzhai Alley Station, Line 4 💰|400+ per person (including breakfast + afternoon tea) 🌱|Perfect for: Couples/Photo-taking with friends/Family vacation Among all the homestays I've tried, this one makes me want to return again and again! If you can only choose one place to stay in Chengdu, this heavenly courtyard is the answer!!
