It is the settlement of descendants and relatives of Ouyang Xiu, a famous politician and writer of the Northern Song Dynasty. Nine Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) and 32 Juren (recommended men) have emerged from this village, making it a place of great talent and profound cultural heritage. Strolling on the bluestone paths of the ancient village, you can feel as if you are traveling through time and experiencing the charm of the millennium-old Luling culture. 🌳 Unique natural scenery The village is surrounded by more than 20,000 camphor trees, forming a natural green barrier. The air is fresh, and the negative oxygen ion content is super high, making it a "lung-cleansing paradise" for city dwellers! You can see pomelo trees everywhere, and you can also experience the fun of picking them in the fall. The seven ponds in the village, which are high in the east and low in the west, are connected in a line to form the landscape of "Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon," which is super photogenic. 📸 Must-see spots ✔️ Zhongjiedi Archway: Built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it highlights the "Ouyang Literary Family." It is the only archway remaining in the village, full of history. ✔️ Ouyang Clan Ancestral Hall: The ancestral hall of the Ouyang family, built in the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty, has a unique pin-shaped patio structure. ✔️ Eight Master's Manor: Built in the Qing Dynasty, it is a Chinese-Western style villa manor.

This Labor Day, come to Diaoyuan Ancient Village – Aromatic Getaway and spend a leisurely and comfortable time among the mountains, rivers, ancient buildings~

It's my favorite hotel so far 🔝. It's like a Chinese-style Club Med, but with an even better experience. Even during holidays, it doesn't disappoint. Both the facilities and the service are impeccable 🥰 The hotel is located in 📍Diaoyuan Ancient Village, where descendants of Ouyang Xiu live. It's an ancient village with over a thousand years of history, open to the public and visited by tourists every day. The hotel doesn't have a separate entrance or walls; it's completely immersed in the scenic area. You could say the entire scenic area is a hotel, or the hotel is the entire scenic area. From the moment you enter the small archway and get on the luggage cart, it's like being sucked into a new world. It's often hard to tell whether you're a villager or a tourist 🍃 😃 The entire village is surrounded by more than 20,000 camphor trees, and plant aromatherapy is sprayed from time to time, so there are no mosquitoes at all. This alone is worth a million 👍 😃 The houses are old but well-renovated, maintaining their original appearance. The ceilings are high, and it's cool with the ceiling fans on. There's also underfloor heating in the winter. 😃 The rooms are huge, and all kinds of facilities, bedding, linens, and amenities are great. The mini-bar is very well-stocked, and they provide snacks in the evening 😋 😃 The service staff are friendly and attentive. From the moment you check in, they provide meticulous care. If you have any questions, just ask the Q housekeeper, and you'll get a response within 5️⃣ minutes. They not only announce each activity in advance, but also provide a brief introduction in the group chat, along with several beautiful photos (so you have ready-made content for your WeChat Moments ~ 😬). You can sign up according to your preferences, so you won't miss anything and don't have to wait in line. The experience is super great 💗 😃 There are so many activities every day that you can't possibly do them all. This is the only hotel where my two kids didn't take a nap. They kept pulling us outside. Eventually, I really couldn't walk anymore, so my partner and I took turns taking the kids out 😅 We were busy during the day, and we weren't idle at night either. There was molten iron fireworks, a nightfall ceremony, a night tour, releasing lotus lanterns, a bonfire concert... 😃 There are no extra charges during holidays, and there aren't too many tourists. If you can only travel at this time, the value for money is very high 👍 🙁 There are many small alleys, so it's easy to get lost. 🙁 The water flow in the shower and bathtub is a bit weak, so it takes a long time to fill them... 🙁 The swimming pool is in the center of the scenic area, which means there are always tourists passing by while you're swimming. This varies from person to person, but I personally find it a bit awkward 🙂‍↕️ One night, while the two little ones were asleep, my partner and I sneaked out the back door, ran to the bar to buy two grilled sausages, and walked along the river eating them, enjoying the breeze and gazing at the starry sky. The scene was so beautiful that it will be hard to forget for the rest of my life ~ 💕 Diaoyuan Ancient Village, Ji'an Diaoyuan Shili Fangfei Village
