Shanggu Shidai, an old residence built in 1803 (the 8th year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty), has now been converted into Shanggu House Homestay. It is one of the relatively well-preserved old residences in the ancient town. This house is a two-story all-wooden quadrangle with a front yard and a back yard. The mottled stone slabs, carved window lattices, and the simple blue bricks and black tiles all whisper the story of a hundred years. Of course, there is a certain deficiency in sound insulation. If you mind, please be cautious when shooting. The wind that blows is all culture, the ground that steps on is all history, everything seen is beautiful, and everything done is not in vain of youth. The homestay is located in the core scenic area, with convenient transportation. The decoration and configuration are of high standards. The whole room is furnished with solid wood furniture, Mousse mattresses and smart toilets. 24-hour hot water, full Wifi coverage, an independent tea room and a semi-mountain tea room in the backyard. The tea room displays old items that are relatively well-preserved at home for visitors to explore. The backyard offers a leisure terrace and free tea. The layout of each room in the homestay is simple and elegant Chinese style. Let every resident feel as if they were traveling through time. Our original intention is to enable every guest to experience the rich heritage of Chinese history, star-level service and the feeling of coming home. Visit the ancient town and stay in an old house.
"This stay in the border city is simply an unexpected joy! I lived in a Qing Dynasty courtyard house hidden in the depths of the ancient city. I stepped in like crossing the blue tile gray wall, carved windows, and old banyan trees in the patio 100 years ago. Every place has the charm of the precipitation of the years. The boss said that this yard has a history of more than 200 years. It is a solid cultural relics-level old building. I can live in such a place for a few days and feel that I have some ancient charm.
But what touched me the most was the enthusiasm of the boss and the proprietress. Especially the proprietress, she simply treated us as our own children. When I first arrived, I served iced mung bean soup, saying that I was afraid that we would be hot on the road; In the afternoon, the sun was big, she would cut the iced watermelon to the room, the sweet juice was cold to the heart; when chatting at night, she also took out her own stew for us to taste, saying that this is the taste of the border city.
After two days of getting along, I simply recognized her as an aunt. She smiled and her eyes were sewn. The next day, she also specially got up early and made us a special breakfast for the border city. This kind of human touch is more memorable than the history of the old yard. Next time you come to the border city, you will definitely stay here!"
