📍Hotel location
Thirty miles from Wujiang, the "Grass Hat Girl B&B" is located in Lihua Village, an ancient town named after pear blossoms in Suzhou's Li'li. It is less crowded than Zhouzhuang and less noisy than Tongli. Without the crowds of tourists, people still live a "life of small bridges and flowing water". Here you can enjoy the most original Suzhou-style life without leaving your home and immerse yourself in the comfortable life of a Jiangnan town.

🏨Hotel Design
When you push open the old door of the ancient town, the first thing you smell is a faint scent of pear blossoms. The entire courtyard of the homestay is quiet and beautiful, centered around a century-old pear tree in the backyard. The 2,500m Jiangnan Cultural Space retains the original ancient architectural style, and also creates an exclusive aesthetic space where you can have afternoon tea, visit boutiques, see artist exhibitions, experience flower art/embroidery and other activities...
Live in history, enjoy modernity, every inch of space exudes a unique aesthetic concept. The exquisite porcelain and wooden tables make you feel like you have walked into a corner of time.

🛏️Guest Rooms
The homestay has painstakingly created 13 unique guest rooms. The overall interior tone is quite elegant, and Chinese aesthetics and log-style furniture blend harmoniously, with views visible through the windows. Each guest room enjoys a pleasant view. The area of the courtyard 🏡 king-size room starts from 53m2. The privacy of one household and one courtyard is excellent. The living space is very spacious. The floor-to-ceiling windows extend the view from indoors to outside, embracing the breeze and feeling the scenery of the four seasons.

🍽Food
The restaurant perfectly combines tradition and modernity, not only embodying the essence of oriental aesthetics in design, but also showcasing the profoundness of Chinese cuisine in its dishes. The dishes are mainly fusion meals. The authentic Su cuisine is like the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, delicate and gentle, and it is also integrated with some of the spicy flavors of Sichuan cuisine, giving people a rich experience in the jumping of taste buds. Here, you can not only enjoy delicious food, but also meet students taking photos and feel the collision of youth and ancient charm.
Li'li is a treasure trove of gourmet food! The spicy chicken feet are tempting, the sausage is refreshing and chewy, and the crispy and soft fried dumplings... every bite is the ultimate temptation to the taste buds! There are many private restaurants in the alleys of the ancient town waiting for you to discover, and every dish reflects the chef's ingenuity.
