Found a surprising place to stay in Kaiping—Huangjin Era Homestay, a collision of modern and Chinese styles, stay once and you'll want to recommend it to everyone!
🏠 Accommodation Experience: Fully immersive quality rest
- Room Design: Open the door and be struck by the beige-brown toned room aesthetics! The embedded light strips add layers to the walls, the white bedding is so soft you’ll want to stay in bed, the wooden floor feels warm and comfortable underfoot, and the floor-to-ceiling windows invite light in. Staying here feels like wearing a “relaxed vibe” on your body~
- Public Area Details: The striped feature wall in the living room plus the large TV is very stylish. The small floral arrangement and tea set on the oval coffee table instantly add a touch of light luxury; pull the floor-to-ceiling curtains and privacy is maximized. Whether binge-watching shows or hanging out with friends, it’s super comfortable!
📸 Travel Photo Spots: Great shots day and night
- Homestay Exterior: The “Huangjin Era” sign at night is amazing! The warm yellow lighting highlights the Chinese tiled roof and modern glass curtain wall with a special texture. The greenery in the parking lot makes a perfect backdrop—every shot looks like a “high-end homestay photo”~
- Courtyard Corner: The pine tree in the Japanese dry landscape garden is very photogenic! When the warm light hits, the ruggedness of the pine contrasts with the softness of the lawn, full of Zen vibes. Wear a plain long dress for photos and the atmosphere is instantly elevated~
- Daytime Facade: Under blue skies and white clouds, the blue tiled roof and white walls create a fresh and eye-catching contrast. The glass balcony exudes simplicity, and the “Huangjin Era” sign is clear and distinct. Every casual shot looks like a healing homestay magazine cover!
Nearby Activities: Explore and eat starting from the homestay
- Must-Try Food: Within walking distance is “Xian Yi Guo · Zhenwei Restaurant,” where you can see diners enjoying themselves through the glass door. No risk of missing out on local specialties, and after eating, you can take a “lively street life check-in photo” at the entrance~
- Street Strolls: Take an evening walk on the street outside the homestay. The streetlights illuminate the roadside trees with lush green, the clean pavement reflects light, and occasionally a vehicle passes slowly. This small-town tranquility is really hard to find in big cities~
Stayed at Huangjin Era for a few days, and every day I kept thinking “the homestay is amazing” and “the surroundings are great to explore”! Whether you come to Kaiping looking for a quality place to stay or just want to shoot a set of homestay aesthetic photos, this place is definitely worth it~
