1.5 hours from Hangzhou, this is a fairytale house in a tea field.

There is a vast tea field in Shangyu, Shaoxing. Wake up in the morning to the fragrance of tea and birdsong, and enjoy the vibrant scenery all year round. The triangular house surrounded by two trees on the top of the mountain looks like a fairytale world. Walk slowly along the path in the tea mountain to reach the small house on the top of the mountain, which is a coffee shop and a must-visit place for guests. Pass by Monet's Garden, check-in installations, and ancient trees, and finally enjoy the beautiful scenery at the highest point. There is a heart-shaped lake at the entrance of the guest room, which is the origin of the hotel's name "Xinchi." The two buildings look like white sailboats on the water. The room I stayed in not only had a 270-degree view of the tea garden but also had a viewing balcony. Opening the terrace door felt like walking into the tea field. In autumn and winter, the independent private hot spring room by the tea field is private and comfortable, and you should not forget to experience it during your stay. For less than CNY 1,000, you can also experience feeding cute pets, farming, fruit picking, and handicraft activities, including breakfast for two, coffee, and a hot spring, and it is pet-friendly.
