Liyang Qingfeng Xianju Homestay features soaring ceilings with wooden beams that exude spacious elegance, while carefully arranged tea sets and local handicrafts add a touch of daily charm. The entire space follows the "less is more" principle, eliminating excessive decorations to let the natural textures of materials and outdoor scenery take center stage.
The guest rooms showcase minimalist yet refined furnishings using natural materials: solid wood furniture, linen textiles, and handcrafted pottery, with meticulous attention to detail. High-quality cotton-linen bedding ensures a comfortable sleep experience. Some suites even include private mineral spring soaking pools fed by underground mineral-rich water.
Breakfast offers a Chinese-Western buffet, with special recommendations for freshly made Liyang sticky rice cakes and handmade tofu pudding. Lunch and dinner feature seasonal set menus requiring reservations. Spring's stir-fried eggs with Chinese toon, summer's lotus-leaf-wrapped steamed pork, autumn's braised chicken with chestnuts, and winter's claypot fish head—each dish bursts with seasonal flavors.
The homestay boasts multiple communal areas: a book-tea room stocked with literature and art books hosts regular reading clubs and tea ceremony experiences. The craft workshop offers hands-on activities like Liyang bamboo weaving and pottery. The infinity pool blends seamlessly with distant mountain views, making it a perfect summer retreat.
