Feel the breeze and bamboo shadows, and savor the tea fragrance in a Qing Dynasty house

Located in the ancient town of Zhujiajiao in the Jiangnan water town, Shen Zhu Homestay is a boutique homestay transformed from a century-old Qing Dynasty house. It has the profound heritage of classical architecture and the comfort and convenience of modern life, making it an excellent place to relax and experience the charm of Jiangnan. The exterior of Shen Zhu Homestay continues the style of traditional Jiangnan architecture: white walls, black tiles, flying eaves, and wooden doors. The entrance is low-key and full of charm. The ancient door is decorated with Chinese carved windows, bringing a strong sense of history. Walking through the door, you seem to travel back to Jiangnan a hundred years ago. The quiet courtyard and well-organized layout immerse you in a classical aesthetic atmosphere. The living room design is unique, with wooden beams and exquisitely carved beams. The red lanterns emit a warm atmosphere under the soft light, and the indoor greenery blends with the outdoor scenery. Every detail of the interior is meticulously crafted, retaining the historical features of the old house and integrating modern artistic atmosphere, making you feel comfortable. The rooms of Shen Zhu are known for their spaciousness, brightness, and exquisite details. Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows is a well-trimmed bamboo courtyard. The breeze blows, and the bamboo shadows sway, making you feel relaxed and happy. Inside the room, the antique wooden furniture and modern comfortable bedding perfectly balance history and modernity. The art paintings on the walls are designed in an antique style, complementing the overall style of the room. The scenery outside the window and the furnishings inside form a contrast between movement and stillness, making you unconsciously put aside the daily hustle and bustle and focus on the tranquility and comfort of the moment. At night, the homestay lights up, and the soft light reflects the carved windows and wooden door lintels, creating a warm atmosphere. Sitting in the living room, sipping a pot of tea, listening to the rustling of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves, it seems to have nothing to do with time. Every moment at Shen Zhu, I can feel its soul as a century-old house. Whether it is the carved wooden door or the roof structure, it reveals the weight of this house accumulated over the years. The restoration and transformation by the homestay owner have given it a new life. The tranquility and comfort here seem to have a magical power, making you willing to slow down, listen to the wind, savor the tea fragrance, or even just sit in a daze, and feel the beauty of life.
