Mount Jiuhua, Anhui! Stay in a century-old Huizhou residence in Jiangnan

Sorry, not actually a century old, just a clickbait title😭 This homestay is just too! beautiful! I've always admired Huizhou architecture, and this time I encountered a homestay paradise full of Jiangnan charm! Blue bricks, black tiles, and horse-head walls—every step is a frame of Huizhou's elegant ancient style～ . 🏮 Homestay Aesthetics From afar, you can see the Huizhou-style gatehouse with bluestone doorposts and upturned eaves, instantly transporting you to an ancient noble family residence. Walking into the courtyard, surrounded by white walls and gray tiles, pavilions, bamboo shadows, and winding paths intertwine, very much like the garden dream scene in "The Peony Pavilion." It’s even more stunning when lit at night! Warm yellow lights outline the horse-head walls, and the swing and corridor in the courtyard glow with gentle antiquity in the light and shadow. From an aerial view, the cluster of homestays looks like a three-dimensional poem in an ink painting. . 🏠 Garden Public Area The homestay follows a typical Huizhou courtyard layout, with guest rooms hidden on both sides of the central axis. The stone-paved winding path leads quietly to the pavilion. Looking through the archway, you feel like you’ve traveled back to an ancient noble family. Every snapshot looks like a Jiangnan masterpiece. . 🚪 Elegant Rooms The rooms also embody Chinese aesthetics. Blue and white soft furnishings combined with natural wood furniture showcase Huizhou beauty everywhere. Outside the window is the garden scenery. Wake up to birdsong in the morning, open the window to a courtyard swaying with bamboo shadows—full of healing vibes. . 🍲 Authentic Huizhou Cuisine The restaurant naturally specializes in Huizhou dishes! Most ingredients are freshly picked from the homestay’s own vegetable garden. Huizhou stinky mandarin fish is savory and flavorful, Mao tofu is crispy outside and tender inside, and the auntie’s signature crispy rice is full of local flavor in every bite. A bowl of hot soup noodles in the morning and Huizhou snacks in the evening warm both your stomach and heart. .
