Phoenix Ancient Town | Dream by the Tuo River, Dwell in a Millennia-Old Painting

👍Push open the wooden window, and the thousand-year-old Tuo River flows right by your pillow. This is not just a place to stay during your journey, but a gateway to the very soul of Phoenix Ancient Town. Nestled in a poetic stretch of the Tuo River, where the clear springs of Nanhua Mountain converge into emerald waves, gently lapping beneath your window. Here, misty rain is the norm, and dawn piercing through the fog is a gift—every step treads upon the harmony of history and nature. 🏡Recommended Homestay: Phoenix Yiquan Riverside Homestay (Tuo River Branch, Phoenix Ancient Town) ⭐️Aesthetic Dwelling: Ancient Courtyard Reborn, Scenery Shifts with Every Step Two Ming-Qing style buildings with blue-gray brick tiles, as if emerging from the depths of time, nestle gracefully by the river. Building One | Riverside Elegance: Riverside single king rooms and refined single/double rooms all feature floor-to-ceiling windows as frames, turning the flowing Tuo River, swaying black-canopied boats, and stilted houses across the shore into a dynamic ink painting by your pillow. Building Two | Luxurious Riverside Views: Exclusive luxury riverside suites with wide-view bathtubs by the river. Soak in warm water as the shimmering river and distant mountain shadows unfold before you, indulging in the extravagance of "bathing with the river and sky." Stroll through courtyard corridors, pause at viewing platforms, or ascend to the rooftop tea pavilion—ancient wells, cloud bridges, and flowing water unfold like a miniature Jiangnan garden, where every brick and tile whispers stories. ⭐️Wabi-Sabi Craftsmanship: Beauty in Imperfection, Convenience in Intelligence The indoor spaces are serene poetry. Raw slate textures and rustic wooden beams set the tone, with contemporary art and Western Hunan folk elements subtly accenting the voids, embodying the philosophy of wabi-sabi—finding eternity in imperfection. Smart Control at Your Fingertips: With a voice command, lights, air conditioning, curtains, and background music respond seamlessly, blending technology into tranquility. Unspoken Quality: Gentle breezes from American YORK ducted air conditioning, German GROHE fixtures elevating bathing rituals, high-definition projectors in suites for private cinema, and premium custom bedding and toiletries—all tangible luxuries. Zen Harmony: Soft lighting design harmonizes with the riverside view outside, washing away noise, leaving only inner peace and clarity. ⭐️Exclusive Perks: Savoring Phoenix’s Dawn and Dusk Morning Light · Awakening the Palate: Breakfast is a labor of love. Phoenix-style rice noodles, Tujia oil cakes, Miao sour-spicy snacks, paired with hand-brewed tea or freshly ground coffee and delicate pastries, awaken your taste buds with the town’s morning glow. Arrival · Seamless Warmth: Enjoy dedicated pick-up and drop-off services (fixed points for check-in/out), with experienced drivers warmly awaiting to bridge your journey effortlessly. Exploration · In-Depth Guidance: Eager to delve deeper into Phoenix? The fervor of bonfire nights, the dreaminess of night cruises on the Tuo River, the mystery of Miao village customs… Your butler offers personalized travel guides, ensuring every moment leaves a unique memory. Thoughtfulness · Local Souvenirs: During holidays or anniversaries, a handcrafted souvenir imbued with Phoenix’s charm becomes the warm finale of your journey. ✅Why Choose Phoenix Yiquan? Prime Location: Riverside living + ancient bridges nearby + millennia-old spring wells—three layers of cultural heritage intertwine, placing you at the heart of Phoenix’s core scenery and essence. Craftsmanship Excellence: International high-end hardware and whole-house smart systems redefine upscale travel living. Deep Immersion: The wabi-sabi aesthetic merges flawlessly with Western Hunan’s soul. Staying here becomes an indelible stroke in the ancient town’s painting. 🍃Phoenix Yiquan doesn’t just offer a night’s rest—it invites you to dwell in the pulse of the thousand-year-old Tuo River, collecting a one-of-a-kind Phoenix amidst wabi-sabi poetry and modern comfort.
