🍃【About Accommodation】
Hidden in the bamboo sea, listening to the mountain wind. On this trip to Liyang, I chose the homestay in Hegu Village. This private soup courtyard homestay far away from the city is too suitable for a weekend holiday. The room's various facilities are not lost to the star hotel. The rooms all have independent small courtyards and courtyard pools, where you can drink tea and soak in the soup, it's simply too comfortable~

The National Day holiday is a perfect time to visit such a small town
Jiangsu Liyang, a land of outstanding people and beautiful landscapes, with clear mountains and waters. The ancient city of Xinshi, with a long history, enjoys the geographical advantage of being at the junction of three provinces, with convenient water and land transportation, and rich natural resources, making it an ideal place for a peaceful life.
