Warm Winter Trip to Xinzhou Ancient City｜A Slow Living Experience Among Blue Bricks and Black Tiles

Before the first snow arrived, I already had a perfect winter travel experience in Xinzhou Ancient City! Staying at Rongxin Courtyard, I truly immersed myself in the millennia-old charm of northern Shanxi～ The guesthouse is hidden in the heart of the ancient city, just 30 meters from the main street. The courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles naturally creates an ancient atmosphere, making every casual photo a cinematic shot. The 8 rooms are full of thoughtful details, with solid wood furniture paired with vintage decorations. The cozy heating dispels the chill, and the smart door lock plus 24-hour front desk provide great peace of mind. Pets are welcome to stay for free, so your furry friends can also enjoy the fun of the ancient city～ You can walk to many attractions! It’s a 5-minute walk to Xiurong Academy, where the red walls and flying eaves exude ancient charm; the North City Gate Tower is perfect for watching the sunset. Don’t miss the Tang-style Jin-yun Iron Flower performance over 700 meters away—when night falls, the sparks light up the sky in a breathtaking display. Just over 200 meters away is the immersive play "Meeting Xiurong." After the show, head straight to Chenghuang Temple Street, where lamb offal soup and copper pot stews warm your heart. Three people can eat their fill for just 50 yuan～ Transportation is very convenient, only a 5-minute drive from Xinzhou Station. The guesthouse offers free public parking, making it easy whether you travel by car or high-speed train. Facilities like free Wi-Fi and luggage storage are all available, with attention to every detail. Brew a pot of hot tea in the courtyard of the guesthouse, listen to the lively sounds of the ancient city, stroll through Ming and Qing dynasty streets, and explore intangible cultural heritage exhibitions. The thousand-year-old cultural heritage perfectly blends with modern comfort～ Whether you’re exploring history with family or checking out hidden gems with friends, this is the ideal base for winter travel in Xinzhou～
