Right now, my fondness for this Jiangnan guesthouse in Shaoxing is through the roof!!!

In autumn🍂, come to Shaoxing to experience this ancient city with a thousand years of history and culture, nestled by mountains and water with small bridges and flowing streams~ - The guesthouse is located at the entrance of the Cangqiao Straight Street historic district, in a deep and quaint alley. Walking on the bluestone path, stopping on the bridge to watch the black-awning boats slowly drift away. The old Jiangnan houses on both banks exude a strong sense of ancient charm. From here, you can start your tour of various Shaoxing delicacies🥢 - The interior design of the guesthouse blends wabi-sabi style with Song Dynasty courtyard aesthetics. The lobby restaurant is simple and elegant, adorned with exquisite artifacts🏺 Passing through the front courtyard, strolling in the small yard where the maple leaves turn red in autumn🍁 feels like traveling to Kyoto~ - Room experience Carefully arranged with pure natural weathered mortise and tenon solid wood🪑 furniture, simple and warm. I was deeply attracted by the solid wood texture of the room’s furniture. It is a spiritual resting place for travelers to settle in the moment. The Japanese tatami allows you to sit comfortably to drink tea🍵 and read, quietly enjoying a slow afternoon tea time. Resting in the rocking chair at noon for a nap instantly relaxes you~ - There is also the attentive service of the housekeepers, with local breakfast delivered to the room, which greatly increased my fondness for this ancient city of Shaoxing!!! - Nearby travel tips: ✔ Shaoxing Ancient City ✔ Cangqiao Straight Street Historic District ✔ Lu Xun’s Former Residence ✔ The Home of the Sage of Calligraphy
