If you live in the pillow water castle in the south of the Yangtze River, you will know why people there live so leisurely. Sleeping in the Bai folk houses in Dali, you will know why people there have so many customs; Stay in the ancient caves on the Loess Plateau, and you will know why people there are so simple and kind. Lying in the diaojiao building of Phoenix, I saw the leaves floating in the water and knew it was time to eat.
Phoenix Tuojiang Family Inn-It's just beside the Tuojiang River.
Tuojiang River, winding ileum, flows quietly through the ages. And next to it, it is this natural and quaint Tuojiang family, and it is dependent on it.
Tuojiang Renjia Inn is located next to Huilong Pavilion in the center of Fenghuang Ancient City. The house is built by the mountain and the water. It is a typical diaojiao building. Walking into the inn, you can see the beautiful scenery of the ancient phoenix city such as Hongqiao Fengyulou, Wanshou Palace, Yuanchangge and Wanminglou through the ancient wooden lattice window lattice or leaning on the balcony railing.
Inn is the earliest family-style hotel in Phoenix. It is small in scale, but it makes good use of the natural resources of the ancient city of Phoenix. Each room is made of integrated cedar walls and wooden doors and windows, and lives by the river, so people can enjoy the scenery without going out. The corridor of the turret is small and chic, full of natural flavor. The hall is spacious and bright, and guests like to gather there, or drink tea, or chat, or watch fishing boats cross the river bit by bit, or listen to the villagers singing ancient folk songs.
The innkeeper used to be a fisherman on the Tuojiang River. He has always said that only "being an honest person and doing things honestly" will win the recognition of guests. Therefore, he is very honest with every guest who comes to stay in the inn.
Player experience:
"It is a diaojiao building close to the Tuojiang River, and its facilities in all aspects are among the best in many family hotels. The triple room has a private bathroom and the water heater can take a bath at any time. The bedding is clean and the windows are bright. "
"The living room on the first floor is simply furnished, just under a table. Tell Uncle Bao what you want to eat in the morning, and I'll make you a hot meal when you come back in the evening. It tastes good and the price is reasonable. "
"The inn is opposite Hongqiao, and a wooden chair is moved to the terrace. A clear river with a covered bridge on one side enters the air in three minutes: drizzling, breezy, and a one-night boat ride. With this drizzle, you will gradually sink into a history. "
Boutique Comments: It is separated from the famous painter Huang Yongyu's home "Duocui Building" by a wall. There is a viewing platform in the inn, which is an excellent place to shoot Tuojiang River and Hongqiao. Also, Aunt Bao, the boss, is very nice and definitely a "celebrity" with a good reputation in the Phoenix tourism circle.
Phoenix Cui Cui Hotel-What a quiet time.
Cui Cui Hotel is located in the most beautiful part of Tuojiang River. It is also a three-story building with authentic wooden lattice windows and wooden skin decorated walls covered with orange corn and bright red peppers.
The third floor of Cui Cui Inn is a 50-square-meter terrace. The Tuojiang River flows gently below, and you can see the stone pier bridge and wooden bridge crossing the river, as well as the broken wooden waterwheel and the ancient north gate wall. What you can listen to carefully every day, except the sound of flowing water, is the sound of women washing clothes with clappers. In the distance, Hongqiao is looming in the fog, and two lovely Miao girls are singing for the past cruise ships. Their unusually crisp songs pass through the water vapor of the river and wander on the leisurely river.
Player experience:
"When I saw it, it rained in the ancient city and never stopped. I fell in love with it when the wet bluestone led me to its low wooden waist door. "
Boutique Comments: Just looking at the name of the inn makes people feel a little shaky. For us, Phoenix is the song "Waiting" and the green background in Shen Congwen's works. Maybe only if I live here can I hear their heartbeat.
Wuyuan laowu hotel-there are people in mo Xiang
Known as "the first brick carving in the south of the Yangtze River", Laowu Hotel is an old house with a history of 180 years. Approaching the old house, the brick carvings on the threshold are hollowly engraved with "Chyi Chin's calligraphy and painting" and "loyalty and filial piety", as if carving out the master's mood. Among them, the characters have different expressions and are lifelike, revealing a cultural complex of Huizhou School. Cross the stone threshold, cross the wooden door and enter the courtyard of "four waters return to the hall". When you meet the cool breeze, you can look up and see the three gold-plated characters "Li Gengtang" written on the solemn regular script, which shows that the owner is "farming and reading". Gold and black couplets express the master's ideal of life: "For hundreds of years, people have accumulated nothing but kindness, and the first good thing is reading."
The most desirable thing is the beautiful buildings hidden deep in the backyard, and the "beauty" in the world gives people infinite reverie. Although it is "empty" now, you can stay in this upstairs room and experience the feeling of "good family" in those days.
Player experience:
"As night falls, people's houses by the river emit little lights. In the humid air, I fell asleep in this vast water town. "
"There are too few beautiful villages like Wuyuan Xiaoqi. Relying on the high-rise inn, overlooking the village in the night, it is as casual as the wind. "
Boutique Comments: In Wuyuan, the most rare experience is this pastoral flavor, and the old house hotel is such a suitable place. What is particularly commendable is that Wuyuan, although located in Jiangxi, is deeply influenced by Huizhou culture, and the old house is a typical representative of Huizhou architecture.
Lost in the antique Hongcun Jushantang Hostel.
"Jushantang" is almost the best preserved old building in Hongcun. It is a pity that it has not been made into a tourist attraction, but it is a kind of luck for tourists.
Jushantang is located in the northwest corner of Hongcun, an ancient cow-shaped village. It is not big. A long mountain spring water flows through the entrance of Jushantang. This is actually the bull's intestines of Hongcun, which is of special significance to Jushantang. In the traditional concept of Hongcun, there is a saying that "water can make money", and the stairs in front of running water become "money-gathering ladders".
There are many carved Gu Lou, wooden walls, wooden windows and ancient wooden beds in Jushan Hall, showing a strong historical charm. Living in it seems to be back to the long river of history; The waterside garden behind the hall is simple and elegant, with rockeries, pavilions and fish ponds, which are a bit like Jiangnan gardens. Many guests like to drink tea and play chess in the shade here, or just sit in the legendary beauty.
Player experience:
"Carved Gu Lou, wooden walls, wooden windows and old carved big beds all show strong historical charm. Staying here makes people lost in history and can't tell when they are awake. "
Boutique Comments: Living here, the most enjoyable thing is that old-fashioned carved big bed. If you take it to Beijing, it will be a precious antique.
Besides, food and accommodation are included here, so don't bother to find a restaurant.
Lugu lake blossoming inn-roaming the world.
There is a wooden chair in front of the blossoming inn, which is a place where local people get together to chat and guests read books while basking in the sun. Young Mosuo people often come to the store to read books or listen to music before or after dancing at night. At that time, it was not like an inn or a bar, but more like a cultural activity station in the village.
There are two kinds of music in the blossoming inn, one is good and the other is good. Classical or popular, East or West, jazz or folk songs, all make the cabin feel like Tibetan incense forever, as pure and serene as the blue sky, clear water and starry sky outside. Sometimes Bleiman expresses Solvig's yearning for his loved ones with a beautiful voice, and sometimes Armstrong's unique magnetism slowly tells you: "What a wonderful world".
Compared with music, the books in Duoduo Inn are not inferior at all. There are all kinds of travel magazines and brochures that record the travel of the host and friends, as well as essays and novels that can make you spend an afternoon in the bright sunshine.
This small pile, at first glance, is incompatible with the local area, but after careful tasting, it will complement each other and create a quiet spiritual home. If it weren't for the blossoming inn, I believe many people would never be so relaxed and happy by Lugu Lake.
In front of guests, flowers are always careless, and the hard work of running a shop is invisible to others. And I haven't told anyone about my future plans-maybe I won't stay here forever. It is an enviable attitude to leave if you like. It's a bit like a Mosuo wedding, where promises are redundant and everything goes with the flow. What should come will come, and the whole society can still maintain a good ecological cycle.
Ah Kin and Xiao Lan are two Mosuo girls invited in the shop. They also like reading books in their spare time. They always have a shallow smile on their faces and can't see any troubles in life. This kind of happiness also infects everyone who comes to the store.
Player experience:
"The blue sky, clear water and starry sky outside give people a pure and peaceful feeling. There are incense, music and puppies in the room, which makes people chew their true feelings in comfort. "
"Life here is simple, but it's not regrettable. Walking outdoors into the slow life of the local people, or sitting in the store and looking at the blue sky and blue lake outside the store, there is a long-lost silence and blank inside. "
Boutique Comments: There are several famous inns near Lugu Lake, such as Duojia, Zhaxi and Gesell. Some foreigners come here to set up shops, and some are run by Mosuo people. Although their business purposes and styles are different, they are all from Lugu Lake.
Mahua Hotel Dali-Little Paradise in Nima
Follow everyone into a yard, and from time to time you can see road signs written in English-needless to guess, this must be the famous MCA.
The style of the yard is shocking at once. Clear swimming pool, lush palm trees, and several foreigners are having a swimming competition. A French girl covered in olive oil lay on the beach and closed her eyes. It's a sense of detachment. Maybe her mood is as calm as water at the moment.
Hotel owner Nima is a Tibetan and has a natural love for painting. When the romantic Nima opened her own MCA in the street, she said to her friend, "I want to build a Little Paradise."
MCA is a quadrangle hotel, similar to a country hotel. You can see a small leisure courtyard as soon as you enter the door. Blue ping-pong table, bamboo loungers placed at random, bananas and coconuts piled up beside the swimming pool exude fragrance. Every day, tourists from different places can drink the most fragrant coffee, eat the most authentic western snacks and enjoy thousands of online music in this small courtyard with flowers and birds. Every weekend, there will be a grand party here, including buffet dinner and barbecue.
Different from ordinary hotels, MCA also has an art center, including studios and restaurants, so students from some art colleges often stay in MCA. The arrival of these students with easels, long hair and personalized clothes has cast a faint cultural color on MCA.
Player experience:
"The houses in the south of the inn are all traditional Chinese; The second floor on the north side has a unique flavor, especially the attic room. The roof is built of logs and has a primitive atmosphere. "
"Blue sky, white clouds and green hills, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dali in the yard."
Boutique comments: MCA's art center is the most rare essence of the whole hotel. People come together because of the same hobbies, and this kind of accommodation atmosphere is most worth experiencing.
Lijiang Old Mill Inn —— Reasons for Falling in Love with Lijiang
In the eyes of many people, the Old Mill Inn is one of the best inns in Lijiang: small bridges and flowing water, winding paths leading to a secluded place. When climbing the stairs, someone enthusiastically helped with the luggage. I thought it was an inn boy, but later I learned that the boy was a tenant and had lived there for nearly two months. People in the yard greet each other naturally and friendly.
After washing, I took a nap under the shed in the hospital, and the wind made me feel like an armpit. The sound of running water is in my ear. I looked across the fence, and the stream under the chestnut bridge was rushing, splashing glistening waves. When I learned that it was melting ice water on Yulong Snow Mountain, my heart and side were even colder. Looking up, the transparent ceiling was covered with bright red petals, which were scattered all over the floor by an old tree that almost covered the whole yard. The leaves were strange and the flowers were strange. The owner, Peter Su, said it was a buttonwood tree, specially designed for Phoenix. There are only two trees in Old Town of Lijiang.
Green tea, tumbling in a transparent cup, is the host's hospitality, and its fragrance is as intoxicating as the surrounding scenery. The young man who helped carry the bag pointed to the pavilion at the door. "If it rains, you can watch people there and listen to the sound of rain." . He must have done it. This must be a great feeling.
Peter, the owner of the old mill, was originally a tourist from a foreign land. He stayed in Lijiang for more than a year, from wandering around to reading books and visiting Naxi people every day. Finally, he was deeply moved by the culture here and stayed to open this small hotel, facing tourists from all corners of the country every day.
It was named "Old Mill" because the hotel is located near the rapids in the river, and there used to be the only water mill in Old Town of Lijiang.
Player experience:
"The rooms upstairs and downstairs are all made of wood, and the floor creaks. There are exquisitely carved flowers and patterns on the door, and the incomprehensible Dongba characters are written on enough paper. On a small platform in the corner, there are books piled up, rattan chairs and hammocks next to the bar, and unknown flowers on the table are bright and open. "
"The most intimate thing here is that you can surf the Internet. If you get along well with your boss Lao Su, you can also burn CDs. "
Boutique comments: The old mill has a kitchen and refrigerator, which is very clean and can cook by itself. Peter is an experienced tour guide who often explores new routes on foot and is very familiar with the vicinity of Lijiang. If you go out to play, you'd better listen to his advice first.
Danba Danba Manor-the second paradise for dreamers
Several people used to be strangers, met during their travels, lived in different cities, and walked through many places together in a few years. When they came to this place called Danba in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, they stopped wandering. There are the most beautiful villages in the world, and no one can tell how everyone was shocked at that time. The donkey friends only decided unanimously: to open their own manor in Danba.
This is where several young people dream. The layout of Danba Manor is full of personal temperament: there are several enlarged photos on the wall and corner, and the photo frames are unique and hand-carved from wood. Sofa and coffee table are all made of wood. The tea table gives people the feeling that a log is directly cut in half, and the flat side is processed into the surface of the tea table. The lines of the trees on it are still clearly visible, and the sofa is covered with the fur of unknown animals, so it is warm to sit on it.
The photo on the wall is undoubtedly the theme of this room. These photos are either the tower of Danba, Tibetan women in Danba, houses in Danba, or the scenery in Danba. It can be seen that the owner of the photo is infatuated with Danba, otherwise how could they spend seven years in exchange for the beauty of this moment?
Player experience:
"This is a garden yard, nothing like a hotel. The whole yard is by the river, shaded by willows, as quiet as a paradise. "
Boutique Comments: Danba is also called "Beauty Valley", where you can see beautiful people, enjoy beautiful scenery and let your thoughts wander freely-this is the place that everyone dreams of.
Lijiang wanggucheng hotel
As long as you hear this name, you should understand what kind of place this is-"Looking at the ancient city" can naturally see the whole picture of Old Town of Lijiang.
At the entrance of Wang Gucheng Hotel, you can see several big photos, all of which are panoramic photos of Old Town of Lijiang, but the words "My home scenery" are written on them.
"Is there really such a scenery?" Ask the little girl at the door.
"yes." She will definitely answer, "These are all taken upstairs."
With such a view and scenery, it has naturally become the first choice for many tourists to stay in the inn, not for anything else, just to wake up with Old Town of Lijiang in the morning and watch the mist gradually disperse, and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance reveals her true colors.
Of course, it is not suitable for tourists who have a good time, because if you want to live, you have to climb the mountain road for five minutes from Sifang Street. Although it's not too steep, it's worthwhile to be tired for the scenery on the roof.
Player experience:
"On the second floor of the inn, lying in bed, overlooking the panoramic view of the ancient city and the snow-capped mountains. The scenery is really beautiful. "
Boutique Comments: The beds here are very popular, so it is best to book them in advance. In addition, hotel owners like to keep birds, especially talking parrots.
Wang Xi Street, Wangjianglou Inn in Yangshuo, is misty and rainy.
Walking on the streets of Yangshuo, it is misty and rainy, surrounded by green hills hidden in water mist. Some people say that West Street is a place where people can lead a drunken life. When they came here, 100 people had 100 stories.
Just like this Wangjiang Building, it is located at the side of West Street 150 meters, and bars, cafes, inns and handicraft shops are nearby. At that time, shopkeepers dreamed of running a hotel like home. Now they can watch the crowds coming and going in West Street from the railing upstairs every day. Every guest staying in the hotel is like an old friend far away. Everyone gets together and shares different stories.
Wangjianglou Inn * * * has 1 1 rooms, which are very small, but most of them are frequent visitors, one month and two months, six months and one year. The intimacy of the inn is that each room has its own independent telephone number, there are bicycles downstairs and computers in the front hall. You can surf the Internet. Let me know if you want to use it.
Player experience:
"The balcony of Wangjianglou Inn is a good place to go. It has an excellent view and can enjoy the charming scenery of the Lijiang River. In short, it is refreshing. "
Boutique Comments: This inn is very comfortable, feels at home and has the facilities of a star-rated hotel. The specially set balcony is the master's ingenuity.
