Slow Life by the Sea | A B&B You Won't Want to Share

|A B&B you won't want to share. I went to Guoqing Temple during the day, and Linhai was a spontaneous decision. I planned to book a room after I arrived, but the hotel I wanted to book was full. I happened to see [Chengjian No. 1]. I habitually searched elsewhere, but there was little information and few reviews of the B&B. I was torn between driving home late at night and staying for a night. I can accept less-than-perfect attractions and food when traveling, but I can't compromise on accommodation. The B&B is next to the ancient city wall, within walking distance of Ziyang Ancient Street. It's easy to find, but the entrance is small and unassuming, which made me hesitate a little. But! I was pleasantly surprised after checking in! 🐯 The public area is quite spacious, with a wall full of books. I worked in the public area the next day (as a real estate agent, I have to bring my computer everywhere, haha). The receptionist thoughtfully brought me hot tea, which was a nice touch. ⛺️ The outdoor lawn is connected to the city wall, matching the slogan on the wall: [A Courtyard with a View of the City]. I had the courtyard to myself that night, and I could see the stars. It was quiet, and there were no annoying mosquitoes. The interior is minimalist, and the bedding is great. As a homebody, I was willing to stay for a few more days. After a busy week, spending a night in a comfortable place is the best way to relieve stress~ (The photos don't do it justice. You should experience it for yourself, hehe.) The nine-grid Chinese breakfast was too hearty for my small stomach. It included seasonal fruits, black rice porridge that tasted like home (a little sweet), and side dishes. It would have been perfect with some plain porridge. 📋 Just a few dozen meters from the hotel is [Zaiwang Bookstore], which is worth a visit. There weren't many people, and I spent a quiet afternoon reading. The B&B is secluded but not isolated. Linhai left me with an impression of leisure and a unique atmosphere. In short, it was a delightful trip, and I'll definitely return.
