Suzhou's Secluded Paradise! Stay in a Poetic Courtyard by Taihu Lake

At the moment of opening the wooden door, it's like falling into the gap between clouds and wind☁️ On Taihu Lake's Xishan Island in Suzhou, I found the poetic slow life of Jiangnan✨ 📍Taihu Lake Xishan Island Homestay, Suzhou Address: Near Dongcun Ancient Village, Xishan Island, Taihu Lake Transportation: Recommended to drive🚗 About 1 hour from Suzhou city center 🌿 A daily spiritual retreat The nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain stand like an ink-painted screen "Erhai Blue" flows from the window panes into ripples Even time quietly sprouts here🌱 ▫️Morning moments Gently lifted by birdsong🌞 The eaves still sway with last night's undried starlight✨ Barefoot on the century-old pear wood floor Brew a pot of Biluochun tea, letting its fragrance mingle with Bai ethnic tie-dye Breathe in sync with the mountain morning mist~ ▫️Lazy afternoon Transform into a fern by the floor-to-ceiling window🌿 Watch sunlight "embroider" on the cotton and linen curtains Flip through poetry books, words scented with pine needles In the distance, the whispers of wind chimes and prayer flags🎐 ▫️Gentle dusk The flickering fireplace flames chant "sutras"🔥 The glass room is filled with a flowing Milky Way✨ The view outside is as beautiful as an ink painting Wildflowers in a rustic pottery jar are unsent spring letters💌 ▫️Cozy night Fall asleep to the tide sounds of Taihu Lake🌙 The quilt is filled with 8 hours of sunshine Moonlight spreads silver scales over the terrace Distant fishing lights twinkle like stars scattered by gods 💡Tips for your stay: ◾The homestay offers lake view rooms and courtyard suites ◾Recommended to book 1 month in advance; weekends are very popular ◾Check-in time: after 14:00 ◾Nearby activities: hiking at Piaomiao Peak, visiting Mingyue Bay Ancient Village This is the beauty hidden on Suzhou's Xishan Island Every corner grows untamed wild charm For those who want to slow down time, come check it out~
