Stay in a Fairytale Seaside Stone House - Shitang Jingqin Villa

Wenling Shitang Jingqin Villa
Wu'ao Village, Shitang Town, Wenling
A hidden paradise on the hillside! Backed by green mountains and facing the East China Sea, it's just a 5-minute walk to the golden beach and a 10-minute drive to the popular rainbow-colored Xiaoruo Village. Drive to the entrance of the Coastal Greenway, where the housekeeper will pick you up in an electric cart for a journey through mountains and sea. Along the way, sea breezes carry the fragrance of hydrangeas, making you feel as if you've wandered into Monet's garden.

Five century-old stone houses have been reborn, where rustic stone walls meet pure white arches, and wooden furniture is adorned with fishing net lighting fixtures, perfectly interpreting the "Shanghai-style wabi-sabi." Each villa has its own viewing terrace where you can enjoy 270° panoramic ocean views from the hanging chair. Only those who have stayed here understand the romance of being awakened by the Chinese mainland's first ray of sunshine.

The 5 villas contain 14 guest rooms, each framed by mountain and sea views. Open the window to hear the tides and spot fishing boats dotting the horizon. Inside, wooden furniture, linen textiles, and warm yellow lighting create a cozy home-like atmosphere. Some rooms preserve the original stone walls, complemented by smart bathrooms, LCD TVs, and high-speed Wi-Fi, offering both rustic charm and modern comfort. The standalone design ensures complete privacy, while the wicker hanging chairs on the terrace provide an exclusive spot for stargazing and wave-listening.

Take a boat trip to fish with local fishermen, experiencing the labor and harvest on the waves. Encounter the national intangible cultural heritage "Da Zou Gu" (Grand Drum Performance), watch fishermen dressed as "sea gods" dancing wildly while drumming, or join the shrine-carrying parade to experience the thousand-year-old fishing village beliefs. Stroll along the coastal greenway, visit the popular glass walkway, and overlook the intertwining rocks and waves below. Try flower arranging and plant dyeing in the guesthouse garden, incorporating the spirit of mountains and sea into take-home creations.
