Songyang Taoye Homestay | A return to pastoral life in a 600-year-old ancient village 'A trendy homestay in a 600-year-old ancient village' Songzhuang Village is an ancient village located in a mountainous basin, with a history of over 600 years, and is also a location featured in 'China National Geographic' magazine. It is famous for its unique architectural style and natural environment, attracting many tourists who love ancient villages. In this ancient village, life still maintains traditional rhythms and ways. The villagers lead a simple and peaceful life. Every morning, they go down the mountain with hoes on their backs and straw hats on their heads to work, and return to the village to rest at night. Songyang Taoye Homestay is located in Songzhuang Village, full of rural charm. The design concept of Taoye is deeply rooted in respect for nature and humanity. The bright and warm overall public area design reflects the aesthetic beauty of modern architecture. The preservation of old house elements such as wooden doors, mud walls, and wooden pillars adds a sense of historical heaviness here. The guest rooms and public areas of Taoye are completely separated. The path to the guest rooms is a winding stone path. The operator hopes that through this uphill road, guests can personally experience the local culture and real rural life along the way. Stepping on this stone path is full of unknowns and surprises. Taoye's 15 guest rooms, either built by the stream or born towards the forest, have a style that is not vulgar and unique, and also take into account the guests' needs for comfort and aesthetics. The housekeeper will give a detailed introduction to the room when the guest checks in, which can be described as meticulous. The room facilities are also very thoughtful, including afternoon tea and face masks. In this village, during most of the day, the villagers will go up the mountain to work, their figures busily working in the sun. And when evening comes, the villagers come down the mountain one after another, their faces filled with smiles interwoven with satisfaction and fatigue. They carry their burdens, or bring their own yellow dogs, and walk over the ancient stone bridge. Under the bridge, villagers are often seen washing vegetables and clothes, their movements skilled and powerful, as if they have repeated countless times. And Taoye, here, is like an ordinary villager. Its arrival did not disrupt the tranquility of the village, but through observation and participation, it gradually understood and adapted to the rhythm and atmosphere here, and instead seemed to add a new color to the village. It subtly balances refinement and simplicity, providing urban people with a modern rural life.
