Mist and Rain in Jiangnan｜Straw Hat Girl

It is definitely the "core landmark" of Lili Ancient Town. Not a traditional guesthouse, but a composite aesthetic space integrating accommodation, coffee, dining, shopping, and exhibitions.

Accommodation experience: We stayed in a 30㎡ queen room with a minimalist solid wood style. The floor heating and central air conditioning made the autumn nights very comfortable. Strongly recommend sisters with a budget to go for the 【Courtyard Queen Room】, 53㎡ with a private courtyard and bathtub. Sunbathe and drink tea in the afternoon, soak in the tub and stargaze at night, the vacation vibe is fully enhanced!

Photo-worthy corners:

Coffee shop island counter: Simple and high-end, holding a coffee and looking out the window, every snap is an Instagram-worthy shot.

Private courtyard of the courtyard room: The light and shadow are stunning, wearing Hanfu or qipao, easily creating a cinematic feel.

In front of the boutique store: The display is very tasteful, naturally walking and snapping photos, full of atmosphere.

Rong Space staircase: The combination of geometric lines and light and shadow maximizes the artistic sense.

Shopping fun: The boutique’s clothing, hats, and porcelain all match my aesthetic. I couldn’t help but buy a straw hat each for my child and myself, becoming the best props for our trip.

Satisfying food:

Breakfast is authentic Chinese style, with soup dumplings, Suzhou-style noodles, pickles, and white porridge, warm and comforting.

Afternoon tea in the coffee shop, with quality cakes and coffee.
