Manshexi Garden Garden Home stay (Hangzhou West Lake Jiuxi Shibajian Store)

Looking for a relaxing weekend getaway, I chose this garden-style B&B tucked away in Jiuxi 😄. Surrounded by tea mountains, with white walls and dark tiled courtyards, greenery is everywhere you look~ The B&B features a scenic swimming pool, perfect for a dip when the weather's good. You can also experience camping BBQ, go hiking and tea picking nearby, and it's pet-friendly too! 😌 The guest rooms are spacious, the bedding is very comfortable, and you wake up to birdsong in the morning with mountain and forest views right outside your window~ No need to rush through an itinerary here. Just stroll around the courtyard, daydream, explore Jiuxi nearby, and enjoy a leisurely vacation. It's perfect for those looking to unwind and relax! ✌🏻✌🏻

🚗 Super convenient for road trips! They have EV charging stations, so no range anxiety at all. Parking is easy, making a trip to Hangzhou's West Lake completely stress-free. 🏞️ Backing onto entire Longjing tea plantations, with lush green tea fields stretching out. It's a fantastic spot for photos! 🐟 The koi in the courtyard are so friendly. Stand by the pond, and they'll gather around. Feeding the fish and just watching them is incredibly relaxing and a hit with both adults and kids. As night falls, the courtyard lanterns light up one by one 🏮. Warm yellow lights wind around the corridors and eaves, washing away city fatigue and allowing you to immerse yourself in the unique gentle ambiance of a Jiangnan night. 🚶➡️ It's very close to Jiuxi Eighteen Stream, so you can easily head out for a hike in the mountains and forests in your free time.

Staying at Manshe Xiyuan was like stepping into a Jiangnan garden🌿. White walls, dark grey tiles, small bridges, flowing water, surrounded by tea plantations and green mountains – every step reveals a new beautiful scene. The room was bright and comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering lush green views, quiet and healing. The resort grounds are vast and perfect for photos, with a strong new Chinese aesthetic. The butler service was thoughtful and attentive, and breakfast was delicious! Stepping out, you're immediately immersed in nature; it's perfect for a leisurely stroll and breathing fresh air, far from the city's hustle and bustle. It's my top choice for a short getaway, and I'd love to come back.

Finally, in Jiuxi of West Lake, I found the Jiangnan courtyard of my dreams 🌿. The Manshe Xiyuan Resort Homestay, hidden beside the Jiuxi Smoke and Trees, is simply the perfect setting for modern Chinese cheongsams. The ancient charm and Zen aesthetics of the oriental garden are an absolute match for the gentle elegance of the cheongsam! The seven-thousand-square-meter Chinese private garden is absolutely stunning. White walls and black tiles are set against ancient towering trees, and bluestone paths wind around babbling streams. Corridor bridges span over koi ponds, and rockeries are complemented by dry landscape courtyards. Every step reveals a picturesque scene, embodying the artistic essence of oriental aesthetics 🍃. Shedding the city's hustle and bustle, I changed into a simple yet elegant modern Chinese cheongsam. Its stand collar exudes gentle grace, and the skirt flows lightly and gracefully. There's no excessive flamboyance, only the gentle and introverted charm of the East. Wandering through the courtyard, sunlight filters through the tree canopies, casting dappled shadows. The wind rustles the bamboo, and red carp leisurely swim in the pond. The simple cut of the cheongsam contrasts beautifully with the blue bricks and black tiles of the ancient architecture. As my clothes flutter, I become completely integrated with the garden's scenery. Every frame is a historical-themed masterpiece, brimming with atmosphere 📸.

This B&B is nestled in the Nine Creeks mountains, offering a serene and peaceful environment. The tearoom downstairs overlooks Carp Lake, and it's incredibly relaxing to sit by the lake, sip tea, and enjoy the breeze, surrounded by lush mountain scenery – perfect for unwinding. The service was warm and patient, which was great. It’s an ideal escape from the city hustle on weekends, whether you're looking for some solo relaxation or a short getaway. Parking is convenient if you drive. I'll definitely be back!

The hotel's public areas are quite spacious, designed in a Chinese garden style, and the rooms also have a traditional Chinese feel. What's even better is that they offer BBQ, so you don't have to go out. The meat tasted fresh and flavorful. After a satisfying meal, it was so relaxing to take a stroll around the scenic area. 😁😁 I also have to mention that all the staff were incredibly warm and responsible. They even turned on the air conditioning for us before we arrived! Facilities: The bedding was very comfortable.

The room was quite spacious, located on the ground floor with a courtyard. We immediately loved the vibe upon entering. The kids especially enjoyed the courtyard. In the evening, our family ordered a BBQ and ate in the yard, enjoying the moonlight. The air was also wonderfully fresh. The room featured full floor-to-ceiling windows, giving us the feeling of sleeping right in the scenic area. It was really nice, and the curtains were double-layered and automatically operated, which was very convenient. The guesthouse's courtyard was also beautiful; the kids spent a long time just feeding the fish.

I was very satisfied with the room. It was clean, had windows on two sides, and I could see lush greenery from the bed, which was very calming. If my college roommates hadn't wanted to go to the movies and shopping, I could have easily stayed there for two more days.

Quiet yet centrally located, with direct access to a stream for swimming and playing. The easy hiking trails are perfect for beginners and kids, offering plenty of shade from the trees. The guesthouse itself has a fantastic environment and even better service. I'll definitely be back!
