Jiangsu's Hidden Paradise! Healing Experience at Ge Yue Bay Inn

During my trip to Jiangsu, I specifically chose to stay at the "Ge Yue Bay Inn," tucked away in the countryside, and it completely redefined my perception of inns! Located in a small village by Taihu Lake, the inn immediately captivates with its Jiangnan-style architecture featuring gray tiles and white walls. The courtyard is filled with hydrangeas, and koi fish leisurely swim in the pond, instantly washing away the fatigue of city life. The rooms are designed in a modern Chinese style, combining rustic wooden furniture with smart technology, offering both traditional charm and modern convenience. The most stunning feature is the rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy misty lake views in the morning and a starry sky bar at night. The owner’s homemade osmanthus wine is surprisingly delightful! The dining experience is exceptional, with all ingredients sourced from the inn's organic garden. I tried the "Taihu Three Whites" prepared by the owner's mother, and the freshness was truly impressive. During afternoon tea, I sat under a century-old locust tree, sipping Biluochun tea while watching villagers paddle their black canopy boats, as if time had paused in this serene setting. Upon departure, the owner gifted me handmade green rice balls, adding a personal touch to the experience. Ge Yue Bay is not just a place to stay; it’s a heartwarming memory of the journey. If you’re tired of standardized services, this hidden gem is definitely worth a special visit!
