Shaxi Accommodation Sharing

My first visit to Shaxi in 2023 was love at first sight Perhaps it's also my lucky place The casual accommodation guide I shared back then gained over 100k+ 👀 views Recently received many DMs from friends asking for updates Here's a fresh guide~ Shaxi Ancient Town is small, easily explorable in a day But if you prefer adventurous or intense travel You might find it slightly disappointing~ Shaxi's charm is best enjoyed slowly, savoring every moment Sharing several homestays I've stayed at least once Personal opinions only, no exaggeration~ Now Shaxi's electric cart service is booming Very convenient even without self-driving~ For countryside lovers, consider surrounding villages: 【Qingye】 In Changle Village - most memorable for its spacious rooms and large terrace facing wheat fields (but shower 🚿 water pressure fluctuates) 【Daoxiang Banshu】 In Hualong Village - open views with self-grown wheat fields, though rooms are average with some hygiene quirks... Bonus: farm-to-table breakfast veggies For pet lovers: 【Shiran·Mountain House】 Where Liu Yifei and Li Xian stayed during filming - fat cats 🐱 Zaizai and Adou are adorable! Sun-drenched design, though slightly aged 【Qixi·San'an】 Near granary - a real pet paradise with cats, Labradors, and ponies 🐎. Provides disposable toiletries, though courtyard feels compact For Chinese aesthetics: 【Yundu Shaxi】 Song Dynasty-inspired three-courtyard layout with ceremonial flow. Koi pond is stunning, exquisite details (even Raven-brand drip coffee!). Steep stairs - elders should book ground floor 【Kegongdi Cultural Hotel】 Neo-Chinese style blending local elements brilliantly (love the pony-shaped curtain hooks!). Flawless except price - luxury-grade facilities with genuinely warm staff. Amazing breakfast 😋, in-house café/tea room (almost excessive afternoon tea...) For cleanliness-focused: 【Maynian·Humanities】 My default choice when undecided. Impeccable hygiene, gorgeous flower-filled courtyard (summer rose walls!). Decor features owner's private collection (steep stairs again) Run by retired couple - if they're alone, please handle heavy luggage 🧳 yourself~ 【Tips】 1️⃣ Confirm nearby construction when booking; book early during peak seasons 2️⃣ Haggle for electric carts (usually 5-10 RMB/ride) 3️⃣ Sunscreen & hydration!
