Found a divine vacation spot in Yulin that doesn’t require traveling far! Just a 20-minute drive from the city center to the 500-year-old Pengdong Ancient Village. Lingnan-style old buildings hide standalone courtyards and waterfront wooden houses, perfect for one-stop photo and vacation sessions. Once you come, you won’t want to leave✨
The moment you enter the ancient village, you’re captivated! Lingnan architecture is restored to its original state, and walking on the bluestone paths feels like traveling back in time. Open the guesthouse window to see lush green fields, wake up to birdsong in the morning, and breathe in the air filled with earth and floral scents. This is the true way to escape the world~
🏡 Super comfortable stay!
Choose from 22 rooms to your heart’s content! For privacy, pick a standalone courtyard; if you love being by the water, choose a waterfront wooden house. Families with kids can go straight for the family suite, and there are cultural-themed rooms with great vibes too~ Star-rated bedding so soft you sink right in, equipped with Kohler bathing systems, fully smart devices, and private courtyards and terraces perfect for daydreaming all afternoon—pure bliss!
🍽️ Eating and exploring is never boring!
Start your morning with a delicate Chinese breakfast at the Wild Field Restaurant. For main meals, you must try authentic Yulin cuisine and farmhouse dishes—so fresh you’ll lick your plate! In the afternoon, head to the trendy Book Nest Café for afternoon tea and amazing photo ops~ Plenty to do too! Kids can splash in the water pool and run on the big lawn, adults can try intangible cultural heritage crafts (sachet making, pottery are super fun), and at night enjoy bonfire parties and stargazing movies—the atmosphere is off the charts!
🚗 Transportation & surroundings are super convenient!
• 20-minute drive from Yulin city center, hassle-free parking
• 30-minute drive from Yulin Station, easy for out-of-towners
• Nearby you can explore the Pengdong Ancient Village ruins and Yulin’s version of the Little Li River—one day isn’t enough to see it all!
The butler service is very thoughtful, proactively organizing special activities like woodworking DIY. The room facilities are all new, and the old house renovation is full of details~ Objectively speaking, the breakfast quality and variety are somewhat controversial, so lower your expectations and you’ll be happier~
