"The moment we stepped into Heshun Ancient Town, it felt like we'd stumbled into an ink painting meticulously stained by time. The bluestone paths meandered like poetic lines, while white-walled, black-tiled buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties loomed in the mist. Wild Duck Lake reflected the ancient town's green hills. Here, time seemed to slow down. Tucked away in the alleys of the ancient town, the Premier Courtyard B&B became the most stunning encounter of our trip.
At the iconic Big Tree Branch of Wild Duck Lake, our housekeeper, Xiaolan, met us with our luggage and led us through the ancient town's bluestone alleys. Soon, we arrived at the B&B. Pushing open the massive wooden door, we were met by a private encounter of time and poetry. A three-story courtyard, a symbiosis of ancient charm and craftsmanship, suddenly unfolded before our eyes. Bougainvillea on the courtyard rooftop cascaded down like a purple cascade, its branches casting shadows that danced on the bluestone steps. The carved wooden beams on the eaves still revealed their former intricacy and refinement. The B&B perfectly balances traditional architectural aesthetics with modern living needs. The guest rooms feature original wooden beams and warm lighting, while Nanyang-style furniture and plain bedding exude a simple elegance, imbuing the rustic space with a sense of comfort and quality. Most captivatingly, leaning out the window, you can gaze upon the ancient town's rambling rooftops and the distant mountain silhouette. Add to that the lazy kittens in the courtyard and the adorable, clever parrots dancing in the light and shadow, and it's hard to tell who's inside the painting.
The warmth of service is evident in every detail, from route suggestions upon booking to the welcome hot tea upon arrival. The B&B team's attentive service is evident throughout. The housekeeper will reveal hidden gems of the morning market and sunrise viewing spots only locals know. Breakfast at the B&B features Tengchong rice noodles served in blue and white porcelain bowls, accompanied by a variety of small side dishes and a glass of homemade rose honey water, warming both the stomach and the heart. In the afternoon, savor the rich, aromatic coffee specially brewed by the housekeeper. In the evening, book a private soak in the private hot springs nestled within the B&B's courtyard. The steaming, lingering, and elegant bathing experience will make you forget the worries of the world. If you're lucky, you'll also be able to enjoy the beautiful singing and music of the B&B owner, Sister Qingqing, sharing her joyful life and touching stories.
Living in the old courtyard of the Premier's Courtyard, you'll truly feel the soul of Heshun. In the morning, stroll through the century-old vegetable market adjacent to the B&B, amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, or copy a piece of ”Lanting Calligraphy” in the B&B's study. For lunch and dinner, enjoy the ancient town's most vibrant food scene—Tengchong Huopiao Beef, Tengchong Local Cuisine Restaurant, and the welcoming Yehuotang. The Premier's Courtyard eschews the alienation of a standard hotel. Instead, through the warmth of a courtyard, it captures the ancient town's six hundred years of elegance, the warmth of the land, and the sincerity of its people, transforming them into a truly captivating brew.
Next time I visit Tengchong, I'll definitely return to the Premier's Courtyard in Heshun."
