Hidden in the ancient mountain village of Songyang! This new work by Da Le Zhi Ye is absolutely stunning

Da Le Zhi Ye · Lishui Songyang LOST VILLA SONGYANG Da Le Zhi Ye · Songyang store is located in Xiaohoushe Village, Songyang County, Lishui, perched on a mountain about 800 meters above sea level. It’s about a 1.5-hour drive from Lishui High-Speed Rail Station and about 45 minutes from Songyang Station. Several traditional rammed earth buildings are scattered around a rice field, with rolling terraced fields and green mountains in the distance. This place is far from popular tourist spots, with only the sounds of frogs, birds, and the breathing of plowing oxen breaking the silence. At night, the starry sky is so clear that you can see the outline of the Milky Way. The hotel is renovated from multiple traditional southern Zhejiang residences, preserving the architectural texture of the ancient village of Songyang to the greatest extent: honey-colored rammed earth walls, fish scale-shaped black tile roofs, mortise and tenon wooden structures, and old wooden beams polished by time. The designer cleverly incorporates modern architectural techniques and energy-saving technologies, making the old houses more suitable for contemporary living habits. The extensive use of floor-to-ceiling windows brings natural light and mountain views indoors, while solid wood furniture, cotton and linen soft furnishings, and art installations add a rustic yet warm atmosphere. Ye You Shi Restaurant: Every morning, the chef purchases the freshest mountain ingredients based on reservations, turning local ingredients such as free-range mountain chicken, fresh stream fish, yellow rice cakes, smoked ham, and highland vegetables into exquisite dishes. Reservations are required, and diners can enjoy the swaying rice fields outside the window while eating. Ye You Coffee Shop: A glass box beside the rice fields offering hand-brewed coffee and seasonal specialty drinks (such as Dragon Boat Festival tea and osmanthus latte). Visiting in different seasons, the barista also prepares seasonal special drinks, bringing unexpected surprises. The guesthouse is equipped with a restaurant (Ye You Shi), a café (Ye You Coffee), a grocery store (Ye You Ji), a fire pit area, an outdoor wading pool, a children's playground, a conference room, and more to meet various needs. The best part is that the entire village becomes a public area with terraced field hiking, ancient tree blessings, farming experiences, and seasonal handicrafts, where boundaries are infinitely blurred by nature. Nearby connections include Songyang Old Street, Chenjiapu Pioneer Bookstore, and Yangjiatang Village’s “Golden Potala Palace”…
