[2024 Yixing Stay] Travel Guide for Yixing longyinxishan hotel (Updated Sep)
The most low-key treasure city in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, I'm afraid it will become popular.
Yixing, formerly known as "Yangxian"
As a county-level city in Jiangsu, it seems not so conspicuous
But every time I come, I can find a treasure place to play
This weekend we are at the southernmost tip of Yixing
Had a dream of "traveling back to Yangxian"
It's really a long time since I had such a relaxed and comfortable weekend!
There is a one-stop vacation experience here
But there is no crowded and noisy crowd
🏖️Weekend two-day itinerary⬇️
D1
▪️Self-driving from Shanghai for 2.5 hours to reach📍Yangxian Xishan Town
▪️Check in at the🏨Longyin Xishan Hotel in the town in the afternoon
🛏️The hotel is just like the town, with an ancient Chinese Jiangnan style. I booked a deluxe landscape king room. When I opened the door, I saw the green grass outside the bay window, which was so healing! You can see the Dongpo Pavilion, the landmark of the town, from the room. The soft decoration in the room is very intelligent, and there are free fruits and drinks
🪟The public area is also a beautiful scenery. The decoration incorporates many local Yixing pottery brick structures. I especially like the large round windows on the ground floor. They are like paintings, making the trumpet creeper outside the window look gentle
🌄In the evening, we came to the landmark highest building in the town,📍Dongpo Pavilion. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the top of the mountain. The light is very soft an hour before sunset, which is very suitable for taking pictures of buildings. You can also see Yangxian Lake from afar. Remember to go down the mountain after watching the sunset! The atmosphere is amazing!
🥢For dinner, we ate at the Longyin Xishan Restaurant in the hotel. The environment is very elegant. We ordered the signature Dongpo Pork and Bamboo Chicken, which were all very delicious
D2
🥣Wake up naturally and have breakfast. The hotel serves breakfast until 10:00, which is very suitable for lazy people. There are many varieties of breakfast, which are not inferior to large five-star hotels. You can also enjoy the pool view outside while having breakfast
📷After breakfast, you can visit the📍Dongpo Academy, Qianyan Langqiao, Xishan Archway and the commercial pedestrian street in the town... There are many places suitable for taking pictures
🌟Yangxian Xishan Town
🏨Longyin Xishan Hotel
🅿️Free parking is available for hotel guests, and you can also enjoy a shuttle service between the parking lot and the lobby

Beside Yixing Dongpo Pavilion｜This is falling asleep amidst a landscape painting
🏯Treasure small town‼️ Depart from the surroundings of Wuxi to Yixing, to this retirement place favored by Su Dongpo.
『Yixing Bamboo Sea』『Zhanggong Cave』『Shanjuan Cave』 and other attractions, and then there is Dongpo Pavilion.
🙋Next to Dongpo Pavilion, in the beautiful garden of Yada Yangxian Xishan Town, I discovered a treasure hotel suitable for vacation.
【Yixing Longyin Xishan Hotel】
⛰️Accidentally stayed amidst a landscape painting, overlooking Dongpo Pavilion from the hotel, experiencing the beautiful realm in the heart of the great poet.
🏡The hotel's Song Dynasty architectural style matches perfectly with the local atmosphere of Yixing.
🪟I really like the various windows of the hotel, turning into picture frames, creating various landscape paintings, beautiful indeed.
☕️Looking at the mountains and waters, drinking afternoon tea, this is the vacation experience I want.
💕With the thoughtful service of the hotel butler, it was really comfortable.

A treasure small town, a treasure vacation experience, returning to the simple beauty.

Su Dongpo must have stayed at this hotel - overlooking the mountains, forests, and bamboo sea!!
Longyinxi Mountain Hotel.
Location: Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, Yada Yangxianxi Mountain Town!
The greenery of summer always impresses me whenever I come to Yixing. Su Dongpo would have been endlessly amazed if he lived today, especially since the health resort he recommended is really reliable!
This time, I discovered an ultra-luxurious hotel.
The scenery, service, decoration, and dining are all beyond words. Longyinxi Mountain Hotel is located within Yada Yangxianxi Mountain Town, surrounded by mountains with beautiful scenery, fresh and elegant, just like a fairyland. Right opposite is the legendary Dongpo Pavilion!
The hotel currently has 43 guest rooms, catering to the needs of different groups of travelers, with a decor style that combines modern Chinese with understated luxury. It features a full intelligent home system, Dyson hairdryers, smart toilets... providing a comfortable experience while also serving as a natural photo backdrop, super photogenic!
The hotel also has its own restaurant, mainly serving Yibang cuisine, which is full of flavor, aroma, and color. There are conference rooms of various sizes and an infinity pool to meet the needs of team-building activities. For now, this hotel should be considered a high-quality hotel brand in Yixing, after all, even Rolls-Royce chooses to hold events here!!

Step into Yixing Yangxian Yada Town and feel the poetic sentiment of Su Dongpo
🌄The Peach Blossom Spring described by Su Dongpo is actually hidden here! 😮 Due to work, I came to Yixing for the first time🎈 and found a secluded town in the south of the Yangtze River.
The day I arrived, there was a heavy rain🌧️.
After the rain, the continuous mountains were shrouded in mist, like a fairyland✨.
The Jiangnan town in the heavy rain had no tourists, and I walked alone in the rain with an umbrella☔️, strolling in the rain as if I was in a traditional Chinese ink painting🎨. Only then did I realize that this is the true Jiangnan! 😍
🍃Address: Yangxian Yada Town
🍃The whole town is adjacent to Yangxian Lake, and next to it is the famous 'Dongpo Pavilion'🎋.
Climbing up the Dongpo Pavilion, you can overlook the entire panorama of the town👀, gaze at Yangxian Lake, and the surrounding verdant mountains. No wonder Mr. Su Dongpo wrote here a thousand years ago, 'I will grow old buying fields in Yangxian, from the beginning, it was only for the love of streams and mountains.'👏
The blue hour just after the sun sets, the contrast of warm and cool lights when the Dongpo Pavilion is lit, is very beautiful😎. You must wait until after dark to descend from Dongpo Pavilion, the illuminated pavilion is really different! 💡
Accommodation: Longyin Xishan Hotel
Address: Inside Yangxian Town
This hotel is hidden within the town. It has excellent privacy👏.
Entering the hotel is like entering a world of ink painting🎨. Surrounded by mountains, with the Jiangnan architecture of white walls and black tiles, the hotel itself seems to grow out of the landscape, blending in with the surrounding environment🤝.
Here you can immerse yourself in the beauty and artistic conception of Jiangnan😃.
Sitting by the large floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping tea🍵, quietly listening to the rain, looking at the lush distant mountains, watching the ethereal mist, one could sit for an entire afternoon.😴

The Underrated Gem of Jiangnan | Off the Beaten Path
Off the Beaten Path. The Underrated Gem of Jiangnan | Off the Beaten Path🏅🏅, a Breeze for a Family Outing
This summer, I was recommended by friends to a lesser-known vacation spot hidden in the bamboo forests - the treasure of Yixing, with few people and beautiful scenery✨✨, and plenty of fun activities.
It's really close; just 30min by high-speed train from Hangzhou, 🌈🌈 and only 2h from Shanghai.
Yixing is a typical Jiangnan town, 💦💦 with mountains, water, bamboo forests, and intangible cultural heritage.
The largest bamboo forest in East China is located in this small city, 💦💦 offering a cool retreat in summer with an explosion of negative oxygen ions.
Known as the 'Corn Capital of Jiangnan', it boasts an abundance of delicious food😍😍 that makes you want to stay forever.
The commercial atmosphere is not too strong, still retaining the simplicity and natural beauty of Jiangnan😜😜.
In the Yixing area, I've also uncovered a vacation spot for everyone - the Yada Yangxianxi Mountain Town💎💎.
There are places like the purple clay teapot, Yada Fitness Center, academy, cinema, theater, 🏩🏩 and boutique hotels.
No need to choose for travel, just one click to start a 'pottery-style' leisure vacation in Yixing that can satisfy children's desire to play🍀🍀🍀 Yixing Longyinxi Mountain Hotel

Yixing's little secret, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River that even Su Dongpo fell for
🌸 Dear friends, I'm here to share a super beautiful little secret with you! Do you know Yixing? The hometown of the purple clay teapot, but besides the teapot, there is a place here that even the great literary master Mr. Su Dongpo longed for! 😍
📍Yangxianxi Mountain Town is hidden on the banks of Yangxian Lake in Yixing City, Wuxi, and it's completely free! 🎉
🏞️ The town is not big, but it exudes an ancient charm that hits you in the face, as if you've traveled back to those misty and rainy ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. 🏮 Walking along the cobblestone paths, you will feel as if you have merged into a painting.
🌅 The best part is, just navigate to 'Dongpo Pavilion', and in just fifteen minutes of climbing, you can overlook the entire beauty of Yangxian Lake! Imagine standing on Dongpo Pavilion, looking out over the lake and mountains, the feeling is simply too wonderful! 🌄 And at night, Dongpo Pavilion is even more breathtakingly beautiful! ✨
🌉 Also, don't forget to check in at the 'Qianyuan Lang Bridge'! There, you can capture the stunning view of the lake, bridge, and Dongpo Pavilion all in one frame! 📸
🎋 And there's more, 'Yixing Bamboo Sea' is also a must-visit! As one of the top ten scenic spots in Yixing, it's super close to the town, and you must go to experience the bamboo scenery there! 🍃
🏨 Lastly, I highly recommend staying at the 'Longyinxi Mountain' hotel! The environment here is simply too good, with southern gardens, covered bridges, peach groves, and streams, everything you could want! And from the hotel room, you can even have a distant view of 'Dongfang Pavilion'! 🏞️ Their restaurant is also exceptional, with delicious meals that will amaze you! 🍲
💖 In short, this small town in the south of the Yangtze River, Yixing, is really a treasure! Come here and, together with the great literary master Su Dongpo, experience that unique charm of the south of the Yangtze River! 🏞️💕

Accommodation Strategy📚
Yixing Longyin Stream and Mountain Hotel🏮 A national-style hotel, low-key and restrained with a sense of high-class Chinese style. The hotel provides a business car shuttle service, room intelligent voice control, perfectly blending modern convenience with the elegance of ancient charm.
When night falls, you can gaze at the Dongpo Pavilion not far away from your room, and wake up in the morning by the Yangxian Lake amidst the lush mountains like an ink painting. I instantly understood why Mr. Su Dongpo loved Yangxian so much.

Yixing Hotel features a room with a private courtyard and hot spring, making it the top choice for a vacation
After not visiting Yixing for a long time, I never expected to find a secluded paradise like Yangxianxi Mountain Town hidden here.
On the mountain next to the town stands a very beautiful Song-style building: Dongpo Pavilion. 900 years ago, Su Dongpo bought land here to live in seclusion and left behind many poems.
The town is small, with all buildings featuring traditional Chinese architectural styles. A quick visit might suffice, but the best way to experience it is to stay in the scenic area. Hidden in this secluded town is a new luxury hotel with traditional Chinese elements: Longyinxi Mountain.
The hotel is not very large, with just over 40 rooms, but it exudes understated luxury from inside out. Both the public areas and the rooms are imbued with the style and mood of the Jiangnan region. Each room has its own unique charm and scenery, whether it's listening to the wind by the window and experiencing a Jiangnan courtyard, or gazing at the distant mountains and lush peaks. The rooms are also equipped with intelligent voice control, allowing for easy operation with just a soft call.
Staying here, you won't encounter noisy crowds, allowing you to immerse yourself in the rhythm of Jiangnan. If the weather is clear, you can climb the nearby Dongpo Pavilion and look out over Yangxian Lake and the verdant mountains. If it happens to rain, listening to the rain by the window is also a unique pleasure.

Fireworks in March descend upon Yangxian | Yixing Longyinxi Mountain is a place to enjoy spring
Yixing Longyinxi Mountain is a place to enjoy spring. As the warm spring awakens blooming flowers and stirring thoughts, one yearns to wander. Beyond its ceramic art, Yixing's landscape will not disappoint. 🌿
The streams and mountains have appeared in the verses of the great poet Su Dongpo, with gentle slopes and waters coexisting, creating a poetic and picturesque scene. Choose a weekend to stay at the Yixing Longyinxi Mountain Hotel, savor tea and relax, escape the city, and enjoy the refined life of a pastoral retreat. 🌸

It's been a long time since I've been to Yixing, and I didn't realize there was such a beautiful, secluded place with few people
Yixing Longyinxi Mountain Hotel
🌈I used to feel that there weren't many places to choose from when I came to Yixing. After a long absence, I never thought that Yixing was hiding a paradise-like retreat: Yangxian Xishan Town
🌈On the mountain next to the town, there stands a very beautiful Song-style building: Dongpo Pavilion. 900 years ago, Su Dongpo bought land here for seclusion, and left many poems here

Accidentally entered the Peach Blossom Spring in Su Shi's writings | Yixing Longyin Creek Mountain
| Yixing Longyin Creek Mountain. Come to the Peach Blossom Spring in Su Shi's writings for a vacation|Yixing Longyin Creek Mountain
"After the rain, look at the color of the pines, follow the mountain to the water source. The creek flowers and the Zen meaning, facing each other, they also forget to speak."
In May, Yixing has a lush bamboo sea, a world-famous purple sand, and a "pink wall and black tile horse head wall" of the real Jiangnan.
During the summer vacation, I came to Yixing with my friends and accidentally stayed in a small town hidden in the mountains. Opening the window, you can see the sea of clouds. No wonder it was the place where Su Dongpo once bought fields and retired.
On the bank of Yangxian Lake, the continuous mountains, the boundless bamboo sea, here meets all my fantasies of Jiangnan. Outside the window is the ink painting-like green mountains, and out of the door is the white wall and black tile Jiangnan town.
Longyin Creek Mountain Hotel, being in it, has a feeling of seclusion in Yixing. Based on the immersion of Yangmei Creek Mountain, a large number of Jiangnan elements are used here. One room and one scene, the floor-to-ceiling windows poeticize the light and shadow and the tree shadow, and the smart home experience further enhances the vacation feeling.
Open the window, look at the distant Dongpo Pavilion, and think of Su Shi's 'Bodhisattva Barbarian' saying: "Buy a field in Yangxian, I will grow old, from the beginning, just for the good of the creek and mountain."
