Staying in the poetic Shili Li by Hongcun Village during the Dragon Boat Festival 🎋

Last year, I stayed at Shili Li Tianchi River View Hotel in Hangzhou 🏨 and absolutely fell in love with their infinity pool ❤️‼️ When I heard they have the same stunning pool at their Hongcun location, as a loyal fan, I rushed here to experience it 👻

🏘️ **Room Type:**
I stayed in the "Zhanmei Qiongtai" Lake View Room—a perfect aristocratic lady's chamber! Bamboo groves sway outside the window 🌿, with views of Hongcun Village and Huangshan Mountain in the distance. The bathtub 🛁 faces the hotel garden, letting you soak while enjoying breathtaking scenery...

✨ **Highlights:**
The most eye-catching feature is the mountaintop infinity pool 👍—clear blue skies and clouds reflect in the water, with the misty Jiangnan landscape unfolding before you! The central garden is exquisitely designed, transformed from an old mansion, complete with arched bridges, flowing streams, winding corridors, and red koi fish. So beautiful, I could stay here all day!

🍽️ **Dining:**
Breakfast is served à la carte and can be upgraded to a poolside breakfast!
Lunch is light and fresh—the salted pork is irresistible 😍
The nine-grid afternoon tea is elegantly presented, enjoyed while listening to the babbling brook in the tea room.
Evening sweet soup features white fungus and red dates.

🚖 **Transportation:**
Right at the entrance of Hongcun Scenic Area—just a 10-minute walk 🚶. Hongcun tickets are valid for three days, making it super convenient to rest at the hotel after exploring. For public transport, take the high-speed rail 🚄 to Yixian East Station (20-minute drive). Xidi Scenic Area is also just 10 minutes away.
