Zoucheng's hidden gem for check-ins! A garden-style mountain villa tucked away in the hometown of Mencius, where you can eat, stay, and play all in one place

Who would have thought! I discovered a divine villa full of cultural heritage in Zoucheng, "Zelin Villa." Just the name hits me right—originating from the story of "Mencius' mother choosing a neighborhood." Built along the mountain and hidden among lush trees, it feels like stepping into a real-life paradise 🌿 The moment you enter the villa, you’re amazed! Over 170 acres of garden-style architecture, a perfect blend of classical Chinese and European styles. Seven independent buildings follow the mountain’s natural rise and fall, with precious flowers and trees lining the mountain road. Every photo you take has an ancient vibe and cinematic feel~ The air is filled with the fresh scent of plants, and the peacefulness far from the city noise is absolutely refreshing! A special shoutout to their buffet! Truly unbeatable value 😭 Over a hundred dishes to show off, unlimited seafood like salmon, Arctic sweet shrimp, and big swimming crabs. The Northeast-style braised pork ribs and iron pot stewed goose are so fragrant you’ll lick your plate clean. There’s also freshly sliced beef and lamb for hot pot, and even the dessert section has unique treats like snow-coated red bean paste and candied hawthorn pastries. In spring, you can enjoy the “first fresh catch of spring,” the Kailin shad, so fresh it’ll blow your mind! The guest rooms are also a big surprise! 260 spacious rooms with complete facilities, duck down comforters, and private showers for a super cozy stay. Some rooms even offer mountain views~ The villa has over 300 parking spaces, so self-driving guests have no worries. The fully enclosed courtyard and 24-hour surveillance make you feel completely safe! Whether it’s a weekend getaway, business banquet, or wedding ceremony, this place is perfect~ With 18 meeting rooms of various sizes and a banquet hall that can hold 600 people, the Haoran Hall is breathtaking for Chinese-style weddings, with an amazing atmosphere created by the interplay of light and shadow! The location is also convenient, very close to the Mencius Research Institute and Tieshan Park, making sightseeing super easy~ 📍Address: No. 1571 Gangshan North Road, Zoucheng City 📌Tips: 1.
