Ancient Huizhou Town | Finally found a garden-style homestay I like

People often say that all ancient towns are the same. But I think each ancient town has its own history, culture, and stories. I’m from southern Anhui, and I think every ancient town in southern Anhui is worth visiting! The most beautiful place in life is Huizhou, a place that even dreams cannot reach. I set off from Hefei with my best friend, and after 2 hours, I finally arrived at the ancient town of Huizhou in southern Anhui. The distant mountains are like ink paintings, the forest is frosted, and the misty rain in Huizhou is like a poem. I must stay there for a night. 🏕 To find the original Huizhou in the poem: “A straw raincoat and a dream of Huizhou, with blue bricks, black tiles, and horse head walls.” ㅤ There is a homestay hidden in the Longevity Village of the ancient town of Huizhou, called [You Tan Gu]. I read in the book “Shuyuan Zhi” that this was the former residence of the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Deng Shiru when he traveled to Huizhou. He praised this place as “You Tan Gu, a small peach blossom garden.” I think the inspiration for the name of the homestay probably comes from this. The overall design of the homestay integrates new Chinese and Huizhou elements. The patio design in the hall reflects the design concept of the traditional Huizhou architecture, “four waters return to the hall.” In the courtyard: The garden design incorporates Huizhou elements and complements the bamboo forest on the back mountain, creating this garden-style homestay hidden in the valley. Its excellence is not limited to this. I accidentally walked to a bookshelf and found many awards: Anhui Province Gold Medal Homestay, International Design Award: A’Design Award. Gold Award, Yangtze River Delta Interior Design. Alliance Award. Hotel Space Gold Award. Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle, brew a pot of tea, chat and laugh with your best friend around the stove, and enjoy a day of freedom. ㅤ 🔜[Accommodation Guide] 🔸Location: Shuyuan Village, Qiankou Town, Huizhou District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province 🔸Style: A new Chinese homestay that retains the design style of Huizhou architecture 🔸Features: Welcome fruit, garden afternoon tea, Chinese breakfast, and experience activities: ancient costume experience, pot throwing, pet feeding, river lantern blessing, bonfire, starry sky fireworks, outdoor karaoke, etc. 🔜[Nearby Attractions] Shuyuan, Lingshan, Chengkan, Ancient City of Huizhou, Xixinan, Zhanqi Village, Tangyue Memorial Archway Complex, Qiankou Residential Houses 🔜[Spring Flower Viewing Guide] [One] Lingshan Village Terraces: Explore ancient terraces and stroll through the sea of rapeseed flowers. ✔️Best time to view flowers: Mid to late March [Two] Shuyuan Village: A thousand-year-old Huizhou ancient village, enjoy peach blossoms and rapeseed flowers. ✔️Best time to view flowers: Mid to late March [Three] Xixinan Nankeng Shangcun River: The unique green wilderness of southern Anhui. ✔️Best time to view flowers: Mid to late March to early April [Four] Xiong Village Peach Blossom Dam, Shexian County: Over 800 years of history. ✔️Best time to view flowers: Mid-March to late April [Five] Xiyuan Village, Shangfeng Township, Shexian County: ✔️Best time to view flowers: Mid-March to enjoy the sea of pear blossoms [Six] Inside the homestay: Enjoy peach blossoms, rapeseed flowers, and azaleas. ✔️Best time to view flowers: Mid-March 🔜[Transportation] We drove here, and the homestay has a parking lot.
