Are all the homestays in Yixing competing at this level?

Finally visited the long-awaited Xinran Courtyard in Yixing.
I have to say, the stay experience here is really great.
There are many public and private hot springs, perfect for soaking in autumn and winter.
-
Three hot spring pools on the rooftop, with comfortable water temperature.
Soaking in the pool while drinking tea and enjoying the view perfectly dispels the autumn chill.
Watching the mist flow through the bamboo forest, with crisp bird songs in the distance.
·
The villa area also has private hot springs, surrounded by bamboo groves.
Moonlight shines through the bamboo leaves onto the water surface.
After soaking, the whole person feels relaxed.
-
・The small bar has such a great vibe, chatting with travelers from all over and even watching movies.
・Free Hanfu experience, taking photos in the morning mist feels amazing.
・The infinity pool reflects the blue sky and bamboo forest.
・In the afternoon, fishing at the homestay entrance, the fish are so fresh it’s unbelievable.

The bedding is so comfortable you don’t want to get up, and the room design is very tasteful.
For breakfast, I specially tried the local specialty black rice, soft, glutinous, and sweet—no wonder so many recommend it.
There’s also self-service afternoon tea and dinner, and eating for three days straight never gets boring.
