Who would have thought that such a treasure guesthouse is hidden in Shawan Ancient Town?
Clearly a guesthouse, yet it blends "tea, food, wine, and lodging" into a poem.
Every moment spent here is wrapped in the tenderness of Eastern aesthetics~
✨Step into a Tang and Song dynasty painting
The owner spent 2 years perfecting the space, truly understanding Chinese-style romance.
The exterior features rustic blue bricks and black tiles, but opening the door reveals modern ingenuity.
Warm light flows over the grain of old furniture, Japanese tatami mats paired with soft mattresses.
Each room has an independent tea set, carefully selected with great charm.
Marshall speakers and smart devices are fully equipped, blending an old soul with youthful energy.
🌿The courtyard hides the secret to relaxation
Bamboo shadows sway, water flows gently, stone paths wind around moss.
Sit on a bamboo chair drinking tea in the slanting morning light, capture stunning light and shadow photos at sunset.
The public area’s bookshelves and sofas invite you to lounge freely, feeling as comfortable as at a friend’s home.
The rooftop’s cozy bar holds surprises; enjoy a whiskey in the evening breeze, just the right amount of tipsy.
