Sanxitang Guesthouse: A Slow-Paced Song Dynasty Experience

The weekend morning sun gently nudged my children and me awake, its rays filtering through the curtains. We sleepily climbed out of the large bed at the Sanxitang Guesthouse in Xiangshan. Outside our window, a tranquil lotus pond greeted us, its leaves swaying gently in the breeze as if beckoning. Today, we planned to explore the idyllic village where the guesthouse is located—No. 13 Shang'ao Village, Daxu Town. 🌸 A Slow-Paced Retreat in a Song-Style Courtyard Nestled in the peaceful countryside, Sanxitang Guesthouse seems to slow down time itself. The guesthouse's architecture is elegant, its Song Dynasty-inspired courtyard transporting you back in time. Every step you take reveals a harmonious blend of nature and human artistry. The courtyard, adorned with various flowers and plants, features a babbling brook and playful fish. Every detail reflects the owner's thoughtful care and refined taste. 🍃 The Serenity of a Private Lotus Pond Just outside the guesthouse lies a vast lotus pond. Though the blooming season had passed, the expanse of lotus leaves still exuded a sense of tranquility and peace. Whether in the morning or evening, sitting in the guesthouse's small courtyard, sipping tea, and watching the sunset is an experience that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of city life. 🍳 Warmth and Deliciousness in the Morning Breakfast is the most delightful start to any journey, and the breakfast at Sanxitang Guesthouse is not only delicious but also filled with the warmth of home. Even when we woke up late, the owner would thoughtfully prepare a bowl of seafood noodles for us. Fresh ingredients combined with careful preparation made every bite a satisfying experience. The children especially loved the breakfast here, eagerly anticipating this delicious treat each morning. 🚗 Exploring the Surrounding Natural Beauty From Sanxitang Guesthouse, many attractions are just a short trip away.
