I saw them build a house in **, and I have been thinking about it for two years. I just want to find a place to rest and relax these two days. This place is almost isolated from the world, and the environment is super good. I saw fireflies in the yard on the first night. On the second day, I lay down in the homestay, ate barbecue (there were Liupo chili noodles brought from Chongqing before, and barbecue ingredients from Qiqihar in Northeast China, superb), watched a movie (with a projector), and hiked nearby on the third day to enjoy the beautiful scenery. This is called a homestay. The facilities are very good, especially the bed is super comfortable. It is also very convenient to take a shower, and they also use an electric toilet. Haha, the boss spent a lot of money. It’s so nice to have a short vacation with three or five friends! Friends who come here remember to bring some delicious food from the town, and buy good ingredients, fruits and drinks in the city. There is no canteen to buy things here.

The boss is attentive, enthusiastic and thoughtful. The B&B is simple and comfortable, with great attention to detail and thoughtful consideration. The breakfast is rich, the noodles are delicious, and the scenery of the village is beautiful. It is the best B&B I have stayed in during this trip to Guizhou.

My favorite place in Guizhou this time is the ancient village on the top of the mountain. The hotel is a completely wooden structure from the exterior to the interior decoration. The wooden structure is very difficult to maintain and is totally worth the price. I talked with the persistent young entrepreneurial boss about some intangible cultural heritages such as Shuizu architecture, Shuishu culture, and horsetail embroidery, which gave me a real understanding of Chinese traditional culture. Walking in the village, feeling the sunset, the sea of ​​clouds in the morning, the sound of rain, and the people working in the fields, I feel the most simple life. The false smoothness of the city is very boring. Time is too hurried. I hope I can come here to daze if I have the chance.

A wonderful trip to Zhenlei Village, an excellent secluded and primitive village. The boss was very enthusiastic and took us to meet Mr. Shuishu Wei. We had a deep understanding of the Shui culture during the communication with him and benefited a lot. The next morning, we walked around the quiet village and stopped, which was very pleasant. Seeing the simple villagers working, I couldn't help but stop and take pictures of these beautiful moments. I like the design and architectural style of the entire homestay very much. The fabric bedding is particularly comfortable. It is the most memorable homestay of our trip!

Zhenlei Village has been built for more than 400 years. Most of the people are surnamed Wei. It is a very well-preserved traditional village of ethnic minorities. Among them, more than 100 well-preserved stilt houses from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China have become its main architectural features, relying on terraced landscapes and ethnic culture. Zhenlei Village is also a multi-ethnic village with very harmonious ethnic integration. The Shui and Miao people live next to each other, intermarry and live in harmony. It is worth mentioning that the investors of the Golden Turtle Wine B&B are a couple born in the 1990s who are very sentimental. They came to Guizhou from the far northeast to invest. They are very attentive in site selection, layout, renovation, and supplies. In particular, they can actively recommend the local culture--Shuishu to the guests, which makes the trip more culturally meaningful! The room has a good view and is very clean. The mattress, linen, toilet, and toiletries are very particular. The beef brisket powder for breakfast requires an hour's round-trip drive to buy it back. The immersive experience is full!

The only ancient village in China where three ethnic groups (Han + Shui + Miao) live in harmony - Zhenlei Village. It is definitely a niche but worth an immersive experience. Stay at the only homestay here that is dedicated to preserving ethnic minority culture - Golden Turtle Exchange Wine. The owner is a couple + the cutest dog in the world, Sol. The decoration design of the homestay highlights details and maintains the original ecology everywhere - refrigerator toilet hand sanitizer, mattress snacks, Mingqian tea, no need

Let me talk about the bad points first. I didn't see the sea of ​​clouds in the video, I didn't see the beautiful terraces, the weather was always cloudy, and I didn't take beautiful photos! So I will definitely come again! The primitive village, the quaint villagers, the boss is a young couple who are super nice. They took us to meet Mr. Shuishu and learned about the water language briefly. Just for more than an hour of communication with the old man, it was completely worth the room fee. I really hope that this ancient language can be passed on, and more young people can learn it and be recognized by more people. I heard from the boss that he originally wanted to convert a wooden house next to it into a water book workshop, but he had no money, so he had to keep dragging it on. Just for this, you must come to support it!

I didn't expect that the B&B I stayed in for just one night would completely hit my aesthetic taste, and it was worth the price! I had planned my trip to Guizhou for a long time. Zhenlei Village is a destination I have collected for many years. This kind of primitive ancient village is really getting fewer and fewer, so after visiting Xiaoqikong, we came to Zhenlei that night. The road from Sandu County to Zhenlei Village is under construction. If you want to come, you must make a plan in advance (you can directly consult the B&B owner) It was already late when we arrived at Zhenlei. The owner came to the parking lot to pick us up. He not only helped us carry our luggage, but also prepared warm ginger tea to greet us. The air conditioner and electric heater were turned on in the room. Although it was a wooden house, it was not cold at all. There was a barbecue stove on the balcony, which was also lit with charcoal. We were so tired that we didn't sit for long. We took a shower and went to bed. Although it was cloudy the next day, the village still woke up very early. After we had breakfast at the B&B, we walked around the village with the boss and Sol. We listened to his introduction and his experience, met the water book master in the village, and saw the century-old water book. It was a magical experience. We checked out at 1pm. I didn't expect the boss to prepare a souvenir, the local Mingqian green tea, which was amazing, such a big can! There is one more fairy B&B in my collection. I will definitely come again. The boss saw the good reviews and remembered to ask for a discount next time~

Generally speaking, I don't like to comment, but this trip and stay really hit my heart! ! ! In the past two years, I prefer to go to some small places with few people and little commercial atmosphere. I remembered that my friend recommended Zhenlei Village last year, so I decided to go there. I started to make a guide. I looked at some good homestays, all of which were a little far away from the surrounding area. Later, I suddenly found a homestay in the village. I didn't want to go out to play too much. The pictures looked good. It was a kind of wooden house structure unique to the local area. I personally prefer this kind of wood feeling, so I booked this one. After placing the order, the boss sent the location and various ways of travel, which were clear and detailed. My boyfriend and I took the high-speed rail to Guiyang, and then for our convenience, we rented a car and navigated directly to the village. It was evening when we arrived, and we saw a particularly beautiful sunset. I didn't expect the boss to be waiting for us in the parking lot. He was very enthusiastic and humorous to help us carry our luggage, which made people feel relaxed and there was no sense of distance. It took a few minutes to walk to the homestay. Along the way, I could clearly hear the chirping of insects and frogs in the fields, which was very comfortable. In the evening, the boss would ask about the breakfast time for the next day, according to our wake-up time. These details make people feel very comfortable. There is no difference between the actual room and the photo. It feels bigger than the photo. It is really very, very clean inside. It is spotless without exaggeration. The bedding is also very unique. The boss's care can be seen in every small arrangement in the room. The boss also raised a puppy, which is really cute and very smart. This village really has no commercial atmosphere and no signs of development. The point is that the scenery is super beautiful. When visiting the village, I took a lot of photos. In general, the boss is really nice, very nice, and he responded to problems very quickly. If there are any problems, they are also solved in a timely manner. He is talkative and very easy to talk to. It feels like we have become friends. Golden Turtle Exchange Wine and Zen Lei Village are highly recommended! ! ! If it weren't for work, I wouldn't want to leave, hahahahaha
