【New Hotel】Yixing Hidden Dragon Valley Ridge Retreat

Nestled deep within Yixing's bamboo sea, this secluded aesthetic space comprises 7 villas inspired by the Song Dynasty's "Lofty Ambitions in Forests and Springs." Each villa features walls textured like zisha clay veins, with interiors showcasing arched domes crafted using Yangxian tea basket weaving techniques. Bedrooms feature underfloor heating systems connected to underground hot spring veins, and bathtubs are carved from solid zisha stone from the Pottery Capital. The customized "18 Bamboo Banquet" pairs seasonal mountain delicacies with Yixing black tea, served in bamboo root-carved vessels. The meditation center offers daily "Dongpo Tea Zen Classes," where guests practice tea calligraphy on replicated Tang Dynasty scrolls of Lu Yu's "The Classic of Tea." Awarded Architectural Digest's 2023 Global Best Hidden Hotel Award.
