[2024 Huangshan Stay] Travel Guide for WenyuVilla (Updated Oct)
Thanks to the recommendation of netizens, this is the first time I have stayed in such an antique hotel!
Ji Xia Shan·Wen Yu Tang
Huangshan Huizhou District Chengkan Village Zhong Ying Street
·
The hotel is located in Chengkan Village, a national 5A-level ancient village scenic area, which is famous for its well-preserved Ming Dynasty ancient architectural group. Wen Yu Tang is located on Zhong Ying Street, and it is easy to miss the small door in the mist. However, if you glance at it inadvertently when passing by, it is hard to move away.
·
The main building is two Ming Dynasty ancient buildings, formerly known as Xin'an Chinese Medicine Family and Huizhou Salt Merchant Mansion. The first floor is a coffee and projection room, the second floor is a restaurant and terrace, and the third floor is a sunken glass platform, which reserves ample communication and viewing space for guests, with overlapping eaves and endless mountains; the distant mountains are faint, all become ink and wash.

Guest Room
Wen Yu Tang has only 8 guest rooms, distributed in the front and back two Ming Dynasty ancient buildings, the original structure, walls, beams and columns, part of the carvings, all that can be preserved are preserved. The doors, windows, panel walls, and railings that need to be remade are all made of precious ginkgo wood, which comes with a hint of fragrance. The guest rooms are named after the "eight elegant" of "qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea". What is rare is that the furniture and furnishings are mostly privately customized and hand-made.
.
Dining
Wen Yu Tang also collected three houses to accommodate the functional areas of the coffee shop, restaurant, bar, viewing platform, etc. The "Ruins Coffee" designed by Wang Hao based on Huizhou cultural elements, this three-story contemporary building and Wen Yu Tang ancient building stand on both sides of Zhong Ying Street, facing each other in ancient and modern times, forming a dialogue between the lifestyle of literati and contemporary fashionable lifestyle.

In my heart, it even surpasses the Kyoto Seiyakuro and other plum blossoms!
Ancient building renovation building | Ji Xiaoshan Wenyu Tang Hotel
After the first Meili successfully came out of the circle, the Ji Xiaoshan series of hotels have successively developed new homestay hotels in popular tourist destinations. The hotel guests also have a clearer positioning for the Ji Xiaoshan brand, mainly relying on the designer hotel with the blessing of design and landscape location.
Ji Xiaoshan Wenyu Tang in Chengkan Village at the foot of Huangshan, as a relatively new Ji Xiaoshan series hotel opened in 2022, is located in two Ming Dynasty ancient buildings, which should be the oldest site in all Ji Xiaoshan series. Coupled with the private collection of the hotel owner, staying in this ancient building hotel with only 8 guest rooms has become an experience like staying in a museum.
The entire hotel is divided into a relatively public front desk, coffee shop and restaurant on one side of the Chinese and English streets in Chengkan Town, and 8 guest rooms, a small gallery and a small courtyard of the hotel on the other side. The public function area is a new building, and the courtyard with guest rooms is a Ming Dynasty ancient building carefully renovated by the designer.
In the ancient building guest room area, you can see that the designer carefully and restrainedly added exquisite basic facilities that can meet the needs of modern life on the premise of respecting the ancient building foundation, such as switch power wiring, air conditioning, fire protection, toilets and drainage. Consideration, these are very indispensable but difficult to hide in an ancient building modern traces. It also includes the designer's choice of materials and sunshade forms, which are just right, modern traces are heavy but not noisy, not eye-catching. The custom-made furniture in the room is also very exquisite, especially a water bar cabinet that is as interesting as the interior plan.
As a hotel with only eight guest rooms, the public area size of Ji Xiaoshan Wenyu Tang is very luxurious and exquisite. You can see the Buddha's hand citrus ornaments and carefully designed flower art everywhere, which is not out of place in the ancient building.
The new building in the public area may be because it is too suppressed in the ancient building, the strength is a bit big, not as exciting as the ancient building area. Compared with the overly outgoing design, I still prefer the restrained and less decorative design ideas. But there are still many exquisite details, including custom window frame forms and drainage exposed on the exterior of the building.
I stayed at Ji Xiaoshan Wenyu Tang for two days. The isolation of the small town in southern Anhui seemed to make life in Beijing unreal, and I immediately went back to face the number limit and shift.

Chengkan | Stay in the misty dream of Huizhou.
The predecessor of Wenyu Tang was a family of traditional Chinese medicine in Xin'an and a mansion of Huizhou salt merchants. The Huizhou scholars and merchants who were "Confucian and good merchants" and "merchants and good Confucian" were both materially and spiritually rich, making the two houses immersed in the influence of Huizhou culture. The layout, structure, decoration, construction, and cultural connotation are all impressive.
Stepping into the main house, the two buildings are the simple and elegant style of the Huizhou school. On the left, there are white walls with more than 500 years of wind and rain, elegant brick carvings, simple stone carvings, and tall and clean patios. On the right is the three-room corridor, the front and back halls are in the middle of the "Yusheng Hall" and "Wenyu Hall" plaques to cushion the space, and also calm the impetuous heart, and sincerely rise to awe. Going upstairs, the second floor is a small hall and bedroom. The "dudu" sound made by stepping on the wooden floor makes people think of the old house in their hometown where they grew up.

As soon as you descend the mountain, Wenyu Tang, the most beautiful homestay at the foot of Huangshan, lives up to its reputation!
As soon as you descend the mountain, Wenyu Tang, the most beautiful homestay at the foot of Huangshan, lives up to its reputation
It's so beautiful, the moment you step in, you can't help but keep exclaiming that the beauty is too much for eighteen pictures to hold
It's like walking into a Ming Dynasty flower and bird painting
Every grass, every tree, every table, every chair, every brick, every tile
All reveal the unique craftsmanship and elegant taste of the designer. This is also the only homestay I have seen where the owner has a private collection. There are only eight rooms in the homestay
But there are countless works of art and rare treasures
The owner is probably a home furnishing enthusiast like me
The room is filled with antiques he has collected from unknown places
And there is a small museum inside
Displaying some paintings and crafts from the Ming Dynasty. During the stay, I also took the opportunity to see a painting exhibition
My favorite is the tea room in the courtyard
It's just right for my mom (she really likes tea). The afternoon sun is just right
Tea tasting, chatting, reading, isn't it fun?
In addition, the hotel's afternoon tea is also very delicious, takeaways can also be delivered to the hotel's restaurant, the service can be said to be very good!
