There are bamboo seas that don't lose Anji, rice fields that don't lose Dali, tea gardens that don't lose Hangzhou, and the characteristics of the three places. Only this town.

It is also a hidden food paradise, with almost 0 tourists, and there is no detailed strategy for eating, living and playing online. Because of this, it has not been destroyed by commerce, and it still remains primitive and simple.

The high-speed train takes 45 minutes, and it only takes about 2 or 3 hours for Hangzhou and Shanghai to drive by car. This neglected holiday town is Yixing, Jiangsu.

There is also a homestay hidden here, which was once hidden by regular customers for publicity. Service and quality are not lost, but the price is cheaper by more than half-Dongshe.

In 2020, when the "camping style" prevailed, wild luxury was introduced into homestays, and camping was possible without leaving the back garden, which surprised all editorial departments.

Obviously, the team of a well-known large design company is operating, and Shan Ye is surrounded by territory, and the surrounding food is blooming everywhere, but it is extremely low-key and hidden in the city.

Move Shan Ye to the city.

You don't have to go far, this is a natural campsite.

Yixing is the last secret place in Jiangnan.

Paddy fields near Dongshe

It is a small county town belonging to Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, close to Taihu Lake, with mountains and water and original ecological beauty that is not destroyed by commercial atmosphere.

When tourists are crowded, Moganshan is still a quiet place for local residents to master the rhythm of life.

Dongshede yard

The location of Dongshe is even more amazing. The manager's vision was viciously chosen in Zhang Yang Village, Hufu Town, which is known as the "father of Taihu Lake" and is regarded as the heart of Yixing.

Dongshede garden

Zhang Yang Village is the famous hometown of bonsai in China. Almost every household here has its own unique small garden. Since entering the village, I have been infected by the primitive and leisurely living atmosphere.

In the words of local people, "this is an ocean of bamboo forests, an oasis of tea, and lives surrounded by bamboo forests and tea gardens."

Get off the high-speed train and take a taxi 15 minutes to reach Dongshe.

With local residents as neighbors and friends, a whole white house, floor-to-ceiling windows glowing with warm light, a yard full of flowers and plants, and a glass greenhouse full of sunshine, Dongshe is as attractive as a cottage in a fairy tale.

It is Dongshe's unique skill to move Shan Ye life directly into the homestay.

In the year when "camping style" prevailed, we lived in a homestay and enjoyed a luxurious camping.

In the courtyard of Nuoda, there are camping tents and outdoor tables and chairs, on the other side are carefully selected desserts and drinks, and music is played in the corner with a stereo.

We drank some wine, chatted with the host and manager and had a good time.

Finally, even grandma and neighbors joined our camp, holding beer in one hand. This is probably the attitude of Yixing people, cool and comfortable.

Designed by a famous design team.

It is not only a homestay, but also an "art exhibition hall"

/Medieval furniture from Europe/

Although it is a homestay, the quality is not lost to star-rated hotels.

From a big perspective, the interior design is the responsibility of a team of well-known design companies, who have designed luxury hotels and landmark buildings.

To put it mildly, everything at B&B is promising. For example, most of the furniture in the hall is from France, Britain, Italy and other countries, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money, just like the "medieval furniture exhibition hall".

The boss and manager is a complete medieval furniture controller, who previously opened a medieval furniture studio in Beijing.

How bad is it?

The name "Dongshe" also comes from a medieval furniture brand in Beijing. It is the manager's initial intention to inject art and feelings into Shan Ye and create a quality home for every guest who comes in.

/Flowers picked from the forest/

When Xiao Jinjun checked in, he was also amazed at the flowers placed in different corners of the hotel. I specially went to consult which floral team's work this is. I didn't expect the seasonal flowers to be picked by the housekeeper from the nearby mountains.

According to local conditions, since I was hiding in a well-known bonsai village in China, I pushed the boat to introduce the beauty of nature indoors, and the extraordinarily vibrant wildflowers made the whole space look lifelike.

/Zisha Tea Room &; Manual space/

Different from commercial B&B, the first floor of Dongshe is also equipped with a purple tea room, which is also a hand-made space.

Yixing is a famous "hometown of purple sand" in China. The person in charge will specially invite Master Wan (a young ceramist, an artist of Zisha Art Museum, and his father is Mr. Wan Genfa, a "national arts and crafts artist") to exchange crafts with you in combination with local culture, crafts and homestays. It is difficult to get out of the mountains on weekdays.

Master Wan's production site

Here, you can not only watch Master Wan cook the pot, but also personally participate in the experience production. Xiaojinjun personally tried to participate in the production of teapot, which was very difficult but particularly interesting.

There are only six rooms.

Every room is like a painting.

In order to leave enough space for the rooms, Dongshe only set up six rooms.

Scattered on two floors, each room has enough privacy and personal space.

The guest room area is 35 square meters, and the largest room type is 54 square meters, which is really rare in homestays.

In every room, the designer introduces the scenery into the room, echoing and talking with the surrounding mountains and trees to the greatest extent, which is quiet and comfortable.

And each room is equipped with a large enough coffee table. Even if you don't go out and stay in your room, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the oversized floor-to-ceiling window while drinking tea and enjoy a quiet and leisurely holiday.

In terms of details, Dongshe is also remarkable.

Spare parts are a small direction of quality inspection. The toiletries in the guest room are made of the niche brand Langfan. The organic black tea of our own Chashan is placed on the coffee table of the room, and the aromatic essential oil placed on the bedside is specially prepared by the owner to make you sleep comfortably.

It is worth a special trip to eat.

0 commercial flavor, original ecology of Shan Ye fresh.

Nanjing, Suzhou and Wuxi are delicious, and everyone knows that. But Yixing is delicious, and few people really know it.

Breakfast cooked in season

Yixing people near Taihu Lake enjoy the delicacy and delicacy of food. It not only perfectly inherits the "freshness and sweetness" of Jiangsu cuisine, but also brings "Shan Ye" into full play. The biggest feature of the whole city is "farm food", which makes people fall in love with it as soon as they eat it.

Seasonal afternoon tea

Breakfast and afternoon tea use Yixing seasonal ingredients, and you can taste Yixing characteristics without leaving home.

800 restaurant

For the dinner given by the set meal, we arranged to eat at a special farmhouse restaurant nearby, which only takes 3 minutes to walk.

Dinner is usually three dishes and one soup, and it is also made according to seasonal ingredients. Bamboo shoots or fresh chicken in season are much more delicious than restaurants in the city.

Dong Tian Defoe farmhouse yard

If there is still time, the surrounding hotels should not be missed. This public comment can't be found, and every dish in the private restaurant found by the people's management talents is so delicious that it tears.

There is no menu in the store, so the reservation system is adopted in advance, and the boss customizes the meal for you according to the seasonal ingredients. Don't be an individual, just a box. I suggest that you must come to the group building or family gathering to try it!

Chicken soup and braised pork in the store are especially recommended. Local free-range farm chickens are boiled for several hours without monosodium glutamate, and the entrance is naturally sweet; Braised pork melts in the mouth, is not greasy at all, and tastes invincible. In retrospect, it makes your mouth water.

Tips: You can make an appointment with the housekeeper.

Zhou Zhen wonton

When you come to Hufu Town in Yixing, you must eat a bowl of famous Hufu wonton.

Zhou Zhen's wonton has a high reputation in the local area. Before the meal, you can see the long local team at the door of the store. The wonton soup made from stock is delicious, and the thin wonton skin is wrapped in tender meat, and one bite is enough. If you like spicy food, you can also add a spoonful of fresh spicy powder, which is the authentic local taste.

Surrounded by scenery

Just walk around and you will be surprised.

/Mountain Tea Farm/

After eating and drinking enough, I followed my master for a walk around and met a surprise at random.

There are no tourists, only the natural scenery between Shan Ye. Picking leaves and wild flowers in the forest, you can tie a bunch of autumn flowers at your fingertips, which is hundreds of times better than all the scenic spots in Network Celebrity.

/Hengshan Reservoir/

Little Red Book @ Hehe Travel Manual

In New Zealand, there is a wonderful sight called "Lonely Tree". A dead tree stands in the middle of the lake with extraordinary artistic conception.

I didn't expect that Yixing-Hengshan Reservoir also has the same beautiful scenery as New Zealand. There is more than one dead tree in the reservoir. Friends who like to take pictures can find a place with a view of mountains and lakes and shoot the same blockbuster in New Zealand.

/Zhuhai Village/

Many people are fascinated by Anji Bamboo Sea because of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but they don't know that Yixing Bamboo Sea is not inferior, and there are even fewer tourists.

Bamboo rises and falls with the mountain, stretching for more than 800 miles, forming a jade sea. You can take the cable car to the top of the mountain to enjoy the Great Zhuhai Scenic Area, or take a stroll along the bamboo trail to relax. Yixing, Jiangsu Province in the north, Guangde, Anhui Province in the west and Changxing, Zhejiang Province in the south are connected here.
