A Song Dynasty Aesthetic Residence Amidst Ten Thousand Acres of Verdant Greenery in Yixing · Yuzizai Bamboo Sea

Deep within the Bamboo Sea of Yixing, Jiangsu, lies a hidden "Utopia" nestled among ten thousand acres of bamboo forest – Yuzizai Bamboo Sea Homestay. This is an Eastern aesthetic resort meticulously crafted over six years by designer Shen Yong, perfectly blending natural wild charm with Chinese Zen, offering a tranquil refuge for weary city dwellers. Covering 8 acres of mountainous land with only 4,800 square meters of buildings, designer Shen Yong honors nature with "low-density luxury." The Song Dynasty-style architecture with white walls and black tiles is concealed within the bamboo sea, while the courtyard pool and corridor create a "flowing landscape painting." The interior combines wabi-sabi style with black gold and natural wood tones, and floor-to-ceiling windows bring the scenery indoors. The back garden hides bamboo and cherry blossom groves, with a grass hut tea house by the water, offering scenic views through all four seasons. The entire property has only 22 guest rooms, divided into 11 themed types, each enjoying exclusive bamboo forest views, revolutionizing the homestay experience! The house features a smart system, underfloor heating, premium bedding, oversized bathtubs, Dyson hairdryers, and a well-stocked minibar... every detail is luxurious. Guest rooms also come standard with Yixing purple clay tea sets, paired with mountain spring water for brewing tea, naturally evoking Zen. Some room types include private hot spring pools, where you can quietly listen to the bamboo waves amid the warm spring mist. The cuisine blends local Yixing dishes with creative cooking, using freshly sourced seasonal ingredients! Morning set meals: a nine-grid breakfast featuring Yixing black rice and the fresh aroma of nan zhu leaves, awakening mountain flavors. Seasonal feasts: spring offers wormwood green rice dumplings and oil-braised spring bamboo shoots; summer and autumn serve local organic vegetables in bamboo tubes, with chicken soup stewed bamboo shoots as a highlight. Immerse yourself in a refined Jiangnan gathering ~ Pottery Experience Area: guided by intangible cultural heritage purple clay inheritors, make your own teapot; Tea House: brew tea and watch clouds, calming the mind with Zen; Life Research Institute: baking, guqin, incense ceremony, and tea preparation classes unlock a slow lifestyle; Thousand-Book Wall: read quietly accompanied by the sound of bamboo waves, letting your soul take a deep breath; Natural Healing: bamboo forest yoga, spring bamboo shoot picking in the back mountain, Tang Bar’s tipsy night talks, offering different pleasures in every season.
