As an AAAAA-level scenic spot, the tuisi Garden in Tongli Ancient Town is listed as a world cultural heritage and is the most famous scenic spot. In addition, Tuisi Garden, Gengletang and Lize Girls' School are three state-level cultural relics protection units in the ancient town.
Retreat Garden and Gengle Hall are very popular must-see projects because they are included in the joint ticket of the scenic spot. In contrast, Lize Girls' School is somewhat unpopular and niche. Apart from the joint ticket factor, the more important reason is that this scenic spot has been developed into a homestay project, and non-local residents will be restricted during the peak tourist season.
The founder of Lize Girls' School is Mr. Ji Chuan, the second director of Tuisi Garden.
1906, Ren Chuanfu, who was full of ambition, advocated saving the country through education and running a private girls' school in the retreat garden. After several years of painstaking efforts, the girls' school became famous and overcrowded, so it moved to its present position.
Today, the school gate at the main entrance, the teaching building and the national humiliation memorial pavilion in front of the building are well preserved. The combination of Chinese and Western cultures in the Republic of China will instantly take you back to that turbulent era and relive the feeling of "just classmates and teenagers, in their prime, leaving Fang Qiu behind".
Huajiantang Hotel Group, as the developer of Lize Girls' School project, fully respects history, integrates Huajiantang aesthetics into the growth process of girls in the Republic of China, and reproduces the youth of an era.
Hotel room design concept is like a girl's growth story. From entering the youth dormitory (multiple rooms) on campus for the first time, to the traditional double room, and then to the peach and plum garden with higher positioning and suitable for the whole family, it is a perfect transformation from girls to celebrities, from student days to families.
When we were playing in Tongli, we booked the most favorable room type at that time-Bi Yu Ya Ju (double room) online.
Pushing open the door of the guest room, a comfortable fragrance came to my face, which is the unique fragrance of Huajiantang. The smell of every shop room is the same, forming a unique smell label of Huajiantang life.
Beige, the conservative blue of the college, the rose purple of the seeds of love and the bright yellow of the sun constitute the basic colors of the room, which are applied to every detail.
The sideboard is equipped with exquisite tea sets and cups, which are used to brew glutinous Pu 'er and rose tea produced by Huajiantang respectively.
Among the tea drinks provided by the hotel free of charge, this is the best quality I have ever drunk, which can completely meet the requirements of daily drinking, and there is no need to bring your own tea. There is also a free Coke Sprite in the mini refrigerator under the sideboard, which is suitable for guests who like to drink soda ice.
There is a long table for two people to sit side by side in the room.
There are simple and beautiful envelope stationery, colored pencils, post-it notes, retro desk lamps, bamboo trays, tissue boxes, and book manuals detailing Tongli and Huajiantang, which are fully functional, neat and beautiful.
The bathroom, bathroom and shower room are independent, and the bathroom product is also an independent brand of Huajiantang, with the same fragrance as L 'Occitane Verbena series, fresh and pleasant. The electric toilet in the bathroom is very intimate, adding points to the happiness of staying in winter.
As night falls, the hotel will provide good night sweet soup and help yourself in the restaurant. On the night of check-in, we also presented good night milk and special snacks of the ancient town, which were delivered directly to the room by the service staff, giving a small surprise to those who came back from the night tour.
Compared with guest rooms, the layout of the hotel lobby is more warm, beautiful and ingenious. It can be said that among the Huajiantang branches I have lived in, I like the feeling of Tongli store best-warmth, openness, friendliness and pet interaction.
When you drag your luggage all the way into the hall, someone will offer you a welcome cup of tea.
When you check in, a staff member will pull you into the WeChat group, and various service information will be posted in the group to remind you.
When you are tired and bored, you can come to the lobby at any time, sit on the sofa in the leisure area, make a pot of fragrant tea on the coffee table by yourself, or play with the manager Nono (a docile golden retriever).
There is an old wooden piano by the wall. The afternoon sun shines obliquely through the flower window, and the light and shadow are like flowing melodies, as if hearing old times singing.
Everything is just right, just like going back to my dream childhood. Grandma is playing the piano, the dog is taking a nap, and flowers and trees are growing. Your friend is waiting for you to play house outside the door.
Opposite the hotel lobby is the "Flower House Collection", which sells beautiful things about flower houses.
Pleasant aromatherapy, exquisite tea sets, glutinous Pu 'er, rose tea with honey, verbena-flavored toiletries, and even a small wooden comb given by the hotel can all be bought in this shop, and guests can also enjoy exclusive discounts.
The hotel accommodation area consists of two parts: the ancient garden and Lize Girls' School. Guests are free to visit the campus of Lize Girls' School and experience cultural activities in the teaching building.
The room we stayed in was in the ancient garden, and the small courtyard was elegant and exquisite, which had the charm of the back garden of a large ancient family.
In the afternoon, you can sit on the swing and watch the pingtan performance. Soft Soviet-style songs floated across the curtains of the pavilion, lingering in the ears and hearts, allowing thoughts to travel through hundreds of years with euphemistic songs.
If you want to visit Lize Girls' School, you must go on foot. The campus of Lize Girls' School is the most beautiful scenery in Tongli Huajiantang. After watching dusk, I will still look forward to the early morning and stay for one night. I have to watch it at least twice before I feel sorry.
The school gate is a classic style of schools in Jiangnan area during the Republic of China. After a hundred years of wind and frost, it is still exquisite, beautiful and magnificent.
The style of community and campus is harmonious and unified. When the simple Chinese style meets the exquisite Republic of China style, the collision of Chinese and Western ideas and the inheritance of ancient and modern cultures find a perfect fit here.
The outdoor wooden blackboard evokes all kinds of memories about the school days. A hundred years ago, girls in girls' schools may be bathed in sunshine and listening to open classes that inspire wisdom; I also lined up neatly and sang patriotic songs under the guidance of my teacher. On the blackboard in front of me are written four vigorous and powerful characters: save the country and save the country!
The pavilion in front of the teaching building stands in stormy weather.
The inscription was written by Mr. Qian Jibo, a master of Chinese studies, and by Ms. Wu Zhiying, a calligrapher and close friend of Ms. Qiu Jin. The sharp monument, like a drawn sword, tells the angry protests of teachers and students in girls' schools against treason.
Part of the open space on campus is used as a leisure area, where swings, tables and chairs are placed. Whenever the morning dawns, the sunshine casts the most beautiful light. Old people and children, lovers or lovers stroll in the garden and take a nap on the swing. This is a quiet picture of the years.
There are many potted plants neatly placed in another space, all of which are small and exquisite but full of vitality.
Elegant and pleasant flowers and plants, childlike and lovely fleshy, all grow warmly and persistently in the sun, just like those girls in the depths of the years, chasing their brave dreams and bright future in this campus with spring breeze and rain.
This beautiful picture reminds me of Xi Murong's poem-
In the morning, when you wake up in the campus of Lize Girls' School, watching the clear sunshine shining on the green plants, the century-old red brick and gray tile of the teaching building smiles at you. You can even imagine girls running on the playground in the morning facing the morning sun.
During those days, earth-shattering changes were staged every day. The flames of war surged. And this beautiful campus, hidden in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, has opened a window to look up at the starry sky for those fragile but brave girls on the turbulent land.
Read for Li Ze women, read the beauty of the times, and experience the emotion flowing from the depths of history. Let the feelings of teenagers and the dreams of youth return to your long-lost heart, and always remind you that your initial heart is like jade, don't forget it.
This is the meaning of travel, and it is also an irreplaceable treasure of Lize Girls' School as a characteristic homestay.
