Heyi Art Academy, a Huizhou homestay that rivals an art gallery even though it is not one. Settle down in the courtyard to enjoy peaceful and comfortable life; hide in the ancient town to reconnect with your original aspiration after a long time; stay beside mountains to listen to the soft murmurs of the wilderness; dwell by the river to feel the soothing gurgling water cleanse your heart. This artist’s residence is renovated from an ancient Huizhou merchant mansion, where a unique view unfolds at every turn and every detail reveals profound historical heritage. There are numerous homestays in Hongcun with a wide variety of decoration styles, yet this is the only one displaying calligraphy and paintings by famous masters. Location: It sits right in the center of Hongcun Scenic Area, only a one-minute walk from the South Gate ticket checkpoint and Nanhu Moon Marsh, with the ancient street right outside the door. Though located in the bustling core area, it maintains a tranquil atmosphere isolated from crowds. Decoration: Antique log style integrates vintage texture and natural charm. Calligraphy and paintings collected by the host from celebrated masters with great value hang in corridors and guest rooms, delivering an experience comparable to visiting an art museum. The courtyard boasts a lotus pond matched with bluestone slabs and horse-head walls, a fantastic spot for photos. With soft lights and gentle background music at night, it is ideal for quiet talks and leisure, just like a fairyland on earth. Rooms: Equipped with solid wood furniture, branded bedding and bath supplies, paired with treasured art collections to create a strong sense of elegance. Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. Heyi Art Academy Homestay in Hongcun sincerely looks forward to your arrival.
"Families, when you come to Hongcun, you must stay at Heyi Academy of Fine Arts! I did a lot of research before this trip and finally chose this B&B. It turns out that I had a great vision!
As soon as you enter the B&B, it feels like you have stepped into a beautiful ink painting. The quaint Hui-style buildings, the well-arranged horse-head walls, the lotus pond and the bluestone pavement in the courtyard complement each other, and every corner is full of poetry. In the evening, the lights come on, accompanied by soothing music, the atmosphere is immediately maximized, making people can't help but slow down and enjoy the tranquility.
The room was a pleasant surprise to me. I stayed in a LOFT room, which was spacious and had a warm and natural wooden-style decoration. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and I had a good night's sleep. Smart makeup mirror, quality bathroom, every detail shows the attentiveness. Especially the famous paintings and calligraphy hanging in the room, which create a strong artistic atmosphere, as if you are in a palace of art.
The service at the B&B is impeccable. From the warm reception at the front desk to the thoughtful luggage storage and airport pick-up services, I felt fully cared for. We also gave away tickets to the Qiyun Mountain Scenic Area and souvenirs, which was very cost-effective! There are also many delicious restaurants and teahouses nearby. If you are tired of sightseeing, you can also taste the local specialties here, which is very relaxing.
Living in Heyi Academy of Fine Arts is not only an accommodation experience, but also a journey of spiritual relaxation. Here, I am away from the hustle and bustle of the city and immersed in the tranquility and beauty of Hongcun. I highly recommend it to every friend who comes to Hongcun. I believe you will fall in love with this place like me!"
