Bagongju Residence | Dwell in the poetry of Shouxian County, pillowed by the ancient town and gazing across millennia.
【Wake to City Walls, Listen to Xichun Lake’s Murmurs】
Deep stone alleys, ancient ramparts standing tall as ever;
By Xichun Lake, Bagongju awaits kindred spirits.
Here, in the folds of time in Huainan’s Shouxian County,
Emerald waters mirror the city walls, sipping tea while recounting past and present.
【Photography Inspiration · Every Corner a Stunning Backdrop】
"Sky Mirror" Pool
The infinity pool reflects the lodge’s silhouette. At dawn’s misty hour, the lens frames weathered walls—blurring history and reflection.
Lakeside Tea Pavilion
Sit by the window, watch willow catkins drift over tea sets, capturing the fleeting moment of "tea smoke swirling with falling petals."
Sunset Terrace Over the Walls
Dusk paints the ancient bricks crimson. Leaning on the rail, Hanfu sleeves dance with twilight—cinematic grandeur unfolds.
Private Dining with a View
Lattice windows frame the old town’s horse path. A Huaiyang feast immortalizes the elegance of "opening windows to fields, toasting to rustic joys."
