[2024 Ningbo Stay] Travel Guide for Phoenix Li Zhuangyuanfudi（Cicheng Store) (Updated Oct)
My way of healing: staying in a beautiful homestay.
Autumn is getting stronger, and this homestay in Cicheng is as beautiful as a poem or a painting.
Stay in the Southern Song Dynasty Mansion
White walls and gray tiles, without powder and rouge
Taste the cultural heritage of history
The pool in the corridor
Reflecting the mottled tree shadows and blue sky and white clouds
As if on the black and gray ink painting
Added a few strokes of desolate color
The leaves fall and know the autumn...
The door lock is the kind of bronze lock used in ancient times
Opening the door is also full of ritual sense
There are several tea rooms🫖
Three or five friends, tea and chat
How leisurely‼️
They are really friendly to small animals
There are dogs🐶, rabbits🐰, chickens🐓, and even peacocks🦚

Beautiful Chinese-style B&B｜A must-visit in Ningbo
If you enjoy visiting ancient towns, then Cicheng in Ningbo is not to be missed. Compared to Wuzhen, Xitang, and Zhouzhuang, it is much quieter here. As a niche travel destination, it is very suitable for a vacation.
When you come to Cicheng, there is a B&B that is not only suitable for family stays but also pet-friendly, with large lawns where your furry friends can run freely.
The B&B is located in the ancient town, rustic and tranquil, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Stay One Night at the Top Scholar's Residence｜Experience the Feeling of Being a Top Scorer
A friend came to Ningbo for a visit and didn't want to stay in the bustling city center. She wanted a place away from the noise.
So I booked her a stay at Yunhuangli·Zhuangyuan Residence in Cicheng. It's said that this place was once where scholars from Xiaoxiang stayed and studied for the imperial examinations, giving it a strong cultural atmosphere of the imperial exams. The sense of history immediately comes to life.
Upon entering the gate of the guesthouse, the four characters 'Zhuangyuan Residence' were striking. The entire building is a traditional courtyard, designed with an antique charm. The main hall is very grand and has a strong sense of national style.
🌟 Highlight Features: There is a large green lawn in the yard, which seems perfect for hosting outdoor Chinese-style weddings or national style tea parties.
The courtyard layout and the green plant landscape are also very artistic. Every casual shot is like an artistic masterpiece.
The guesthouse rooms incorporate elements of the imperial examination culture. The interior decoration and room arrangement are full of ancient cultural atmosphere.
🛏 Room Facilities: Equipped with smart home devices, the bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas and is quite spacious, very comfortable.
The highlight is the bedding, which is very comfortable to sleep on. The mattress has just the right firmness, and the room's soundproofing is excellent, making it really quiet.
💰 Average Cost: About 300-600 yuan per person.
I really like this guesthouse and recommend it to everyone.

Cicheng Ancient County, Ningbo's own little Jiangnan
I have heard about Cicheng many times,
Today I finally brought my child to explore it.
In the height of summer, there aren't many tourists,
But it was still worth the trip,
An ancient town with its own cultural characteristics,
Combined with the ancient architecture of Cicheng,
It is a great place for Ningbo people to go on weekends.
Of course, visiting an ancient town means staying in a courtyard.
Cicheng Yunhuangli · Zhuangyuan Mansion Academy Homestay
Located in the ancient county of Cicheng, within walking distance of the scenic area,
It is the former residence of Fang Yuanjing, the top scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty.
It retains the charm and characteristics of Chinese architecture,
Chinese courtyard, white walls and black tiles, flying eaves and curved corners, surrounded by winding water.
For aesthetic scenery, the courtyard and outdoors have water features.
The door lock🔒 is in the style of an antique lock,
Classically elegant, with a traditional redwood gate,
A Luohan platform for tea and viewing,
Everywhere reveals the courtyard's inheritance and continuation of traditional culture.
Staying here,
You can immerse yourself in the daily life of the ancients,
As if returning to the time and space of thousands of years ago.
