The ambiance here is rustic and elegant. The second floor is especially quiet – I even joked it felt like having a private floor all to myself. I woke up to birdsong and had a fantastic night's sleep.
The decor style is quite subjective; I personally lean towards brighter, more modern aesthetics. However, once I settled in, I found it surprisingly comfortable.
But the absolute standout feature of this guesthouse is its location. It's just dozens of meters from the entrance to Sideng Street, meaning you're practically there the moment you step out. You can drive right up to the door, then stroll directly into the ancient town without the hassle of dragging your luggage over cobblestone paths or having a long walk.
Initially, I thought the location wasn't that crucial, believing an extra ten-minute walk into the ancient town wouldn't make much difference. But I was wrong. This incredibly convenient spot gave me the luxury of sleeping in as late as I wished and the spontaneity to step out and explore whenever I felt like it – truly the best base for experiencing the town. It even allowed me to take another leisurely stroll through the tourist-free ancient town early in the morning before catching my transport out of Shaxi, offering a completely different perspective.
