Come to Jinan! I found a hidden gem of a hotel! 🏡 ✔ Walking distance to Baotu Spring ✔ Thoughtful service ✔ Cozy courtyard If you're coming to Jinan, you have to stay here! - ✔ Great location It's super close to Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, and Wulongtan Park, all within walking distance! There's a police station right outside, so it's very safe and reassuring. - ✔ Thoughtful service The housekeeper is super nice and brings breakfast at 8 am every morning! 🍽️ They also gave us watermelon, cucumber, and tomatoes. Our child was still napping 💤, so they helped us extend our check-out time. So thoughtful! - ✔ Cozy courtyard The courtyard is designed in a traditional Chinese style, with two clear wells 💧, surrounded by greenery, koi fish 🐟, and cats 🐱. It's perfect for tea, and the kids found it fun and exciting. They could play here all day, which was a relief for us! 🥰 - 📍 Jinan - Baotu Spring

Didn't go abroad, just stayed in Shandong✨, pyq likes exploded🎉🎉 . Jinan's most beautiful and worth-staying homestay guide 🌞When traveling to Jinan, you must stay at these two homestays, one located in the southern mountainous area of Jinan, and the other in the bustling urban area. 🌞Driving 30 kilometers from Jinan, you will reach Jiuru Mountain. Jiuru Mountain's unique geographical environment makes it the source of Jinxiu River, one of the three rivers in the southern mountainous area of Jinan, and also one of the sources of the "Seventy-two Famous Springs of Spring City". 🏠Surrounded by mountains and with a forest coverage rate of over 90%, it is picturesque, like entering a romantic Nordic forest secret realm in a movie. The interior is also very European, allowing you to relax and enjoy a beautiful vacation. It is a must-choose place for luxury wild vacations, highly recommended. . 1️⃣Yuemushan Residence A standalone villa in the mountains combines the beauty of architecture and nature. 2️⃣Mengzhen Shuxiang The room has large floor-to-ceiling windows and a scenic bathtub. You can read while enjoying the mountain view during the day and stargaze at night. The environment is great, highly recommended! 3️⃣Wooden Barrel Homestay Located by the lake above the scenic area, built by the lake, divided into single and double barrels. It is perfect to choose a double barrel with family and friends, sharing a small courtyard but with independent rooms. . 🎊Staying at these homestays, you wake up in the morning to a beautiful scenery, see the stunning mountains and forests outside, take a deep breath of fresh air, and start your day full of energy. 🎊There are also many interesting experiences here. Smell the wood and book fragrance, enjoy coffee, and feel the joy of reading. There are more than 20 experience halls here, including aromatherapy, jewelry, music boxes, and perfume making. It is very meaningful and romantic. . 🌹Yinquan Courtyard A homestay in the urban area, highly recommended for friends who like quietness to stay in Yinquan Courtyard when visiting Jinan! 🌹Location: At the deepest part of No. 111 Bianzhi Alley, Lixia District, located in the city center. The following places are within walking distance: Hang Lung World Trade Center/Baotu Spring/Spring City Square/Kuanhouli/Qushuiting/Baihuazhou/Daming Lake/Furong Street. 🌹The entire courtyard is a quadrangle with a total of four rooms in a minimalist style. After entering the courtyard, there is a 300+ year old pomegranate tree. In addition to green plants, there are also two spring wells, and many koi fish are raised in the pool. Guests can feed the fish with the fish food provided in the courtyard.

🉑Jinan Homestay Hidden Spring Courtyard in the Alley of Blue Bricks and Tiles The last time I went to Daming Lake in Jinan was the last time. While organizing my photo album, I came across the homestay I stayed at. No matter how many times I look at it, I am always amazed. Compared to Qingdao, Jinan has a slower pace, with the sound of spring water everywhere, giving it a feel of small bridges and flowing water~ ✅The homestay I stayed at is called: Hidden Spring Courtyard. It is a square courtyard with many green plants, a spring, and a small pond with many goldfish. There are only 3 rooms in the courtyard, and the room design is in a very Chinese-style solid wood decor. The owner also lights mosquito-repellent incense in the house, which smells very nice. It is also very quiet at night. There is a rooftop upstairs where you can dry clothes or enjoy the breeze, drink, and chat at night. On the other side of the courtyard, there is a water bar-like area with drinks and tea-making tools, suitable for casual conversations. The hostess has a very typical Shandong personality, very enthusiastic. I often see people booking the entire place for marriage proposals on her social media. 😻 The accommodation price is around 600 yuan.

I highly recommend that friends who like quietness stay at Yinquan Villa when they come to Jinan! After just one stay, I decided to stay here only in the future! 💕Geographic location: At the deepest part of the alley at No. 111, Bianzhi Lane, Lixia District, it is located in the city center. You can walk to the following places: Hang Lung World Trade Center/Baotu Spring/Quancheng Square/Kuanhouli/Qushuiting/Baihuazhou/Daming Lake/Furong Street. 💕Accommodation environment: The whole yard is a quadrangle with a total of four rooms in a simple Japanese style. After entering the hospital, there is a pomegranate tree that is over 300 years old. In spring, it is full of red buds. In addition to green plants, there are two springs and wells. There are many carps in the pool. Residents can feed the fish with fish food provided in the hospital. This time I stayed in the [South Courtyard Guest Room], which was spacious and clean, and the view of the courtyard was unobstructed after opening the door. 💞Service facilities: After booking, the B&B will call you to confirm whether you want to drive there and send you location instructions. The B&B provides recommendations for nearby attractions and breakfast purchasing services. After checking out, the lady gave me Thai handmade soap, which I am very grateful for! I need to mention that the room door needs to be opened and closed with a key, which is a little troublesome for me. If you need to put on makeup, it is recommended that you bring your own lighted makeup mirror. 💞Surrounding environment: There is a [Lianzhi Craft Beer Bar] next to the alley. Most of the fruit-flavored craft beers are suitable for girls to drink. The store is full every night, but you don’t have to worry about the people coming and going in the alley, because there is a [police station] in front of the alley. There is a [Sudao Coffee] within 500 meters nearby, with a similarly beautiful environment. The disadvantage of the coffee shop is that it cannot issue invoices. 💞Price: The daily price of a single room fluctuates around 500, and the price will increase during holidays. The overall cost-effectiveness is extremely high.

Hidden deep in the alley, there is a sense of detachment from the world, with prosperity outside and tranquility inside. 💦There are two natural springs hidden in the independent courtyard! The fishes swim leisurely in it. 🍵 Sit under the tree to drink tea and chat, and climb to the roof to count the stars at night. It's so wonderful! 🍃The pointed roof style of the log beams in the room is a hand-polished mortise and tenon structure. The space decorated with several Chinese armchairs is full of Zen feeling, creating a restrained and simple Chinese style.
