Ningbo Shiqifang Kaiyuan Guantang

Ladies! I've discovered the ultimate escape in an ancient village in Ningbo! The early summer blue bricks and black tiles paired with trumpet creepers are absolutely stunning! Everyone, rush to this treasure hotel that comes with a built-in Ming and Qing dynasty filter~ ✨Highlights at a glance The hotel has literally moved an entire Ming and Qing ancient village into its backyard! Open the window and you'll see horse-head walls and climbing ivy. Wearing Hanfu here guarantees perfect photos! Parents will be thrilled—there’s a children's playground, a family pool, free baby cots, underfloor heating in the rooms, and extra-large bathtubs. They even thoughtfully provide baby toothbrushes! The best part is the standalone villas with private gardens where you can hear the insects chirping at night, instantly transporting you back to your childhood grandma’s home~ 📍Location guide Hidden in the Zheng Family’s Shiqifang Scenic Area in Zhenhai! Although it’s a bit far from the city center, it’s wonderfully peaceful~ Free parking is available for self-driving guests, and it’s pet-friendly, which is a big plus! 🌿Nearby activities A visit to the Ming and Qing old street is a must! The shaded bluestone paths offer a refreshing vibe, and cycling with kids in the ancient village is super relaxing~ Just a 5-minute walk to a teahouse where you can read and sip tea, and in the evening, watch the sunset glow on the black tiles by the pond—romance overload! The hotel also offers traditional crafts like tie-dyeing and rubbing print heritage activities, making it very meaningful to make your own small fan to take home~ I personally tested the rooms and the bedding is incredibly comfortable, plus the butler brings welcome fruit! Be sure to try the Ningbo rice dumplings and rice buns for breakfast—perfect for glutinous food lovers~ Ladies, bring your whole family to breathe in the fresh air; the slow life in this ancient village is truly addictive!
