Life is always busy, leaving little time for reflection. Before we knew it, three or four days had passed since we left the small village of Songzhuang.
We arrived on Saturday noon on the Yinyuan line bus from Songyang Bus Station in Sandu Township. The journey was bumpy, but along the way we saw many green tea plantations, bamboo groves, and paulownia trees—scenery rarely seen in Lingnan, seemingly ubiquitous in southwestern Zhejiang. The autumn sun shone on the mountain road, and the persimmon trees on both sides were laden with fruit. Vitality isn't exclusive to spring; Songzhuang's autumn is also exceptionally full of the power of growth. Besides the emotional impact of the drama festival deep in the mountains, the most exciting part of our two-day journey from Shenzhen to Songzhuang was this guesthouse.
Firstly, Songzhuang only has guesthouses. Secondly, only about three guesthouses are available for booking on the platform. If, like us, you're not fixated on hotel-style service, don't crave trendy photo spots, and don't have a particularly authentic atmosphere, then this is undoubtedly the best choice. The price is the lowest among the options, so a one- or two-day trip won't break the bank; the location is the best, right next to the stone bridge. Even the lowest-class room (only the room without a bathroom was available when we booked) at this place guarantees basic sleep, washing facilities, and meals. Entering through the entrance, passing a small shop and a cooking area, you reach a large hall typical of rural houses, but with a skylight letting in some natural light. Our room was located in this space. There's a lot of wood used here, giving it a faint tung oil smell; the bed is a bit firm, which is good for your back; the blankets are very soft and warm, making it easy to fall asleep. If I had to point out a drawback, it would be having to use the external bathroom for washing and the slightly poor soundproofing, but personally, I didn't seem to notice. After watching a show and taking a shower, I fell into a deep sleep.
However, I think what most people who have stayed here will remember most fondly is the landlady's hospitality. When we arrived, they handed us snacks and fruit platters, showed us around the village, and introduced us to various things. The next morning, they helped us find photo spots, took pictures for us, and prepared breakfast for us. Even when we rushed to catch the bus without saying goodbye, the landlady specially pulled us back and gave me some local specialties—I really didn't know how to refuse! I'm not good with words; as people in Shanghai say, ”Talking about feelings hurts money, talking about money hurts both feelings and money,” so I said nothing and silently accepted. When we left, the sun was shining brightly, and we walked up the stone-paved street. We saw the landlady being interviewed by a TV station below (she was wearing a microphone, I think), her face beaming with smiles, which truly made us feel the vitality of life.
The landlady was also very kind, telling me about the local yew tree, gentle and quiet, a perfect match with the landlady. The elderly and children were also full of life; it truly felt like home. Staying here, I felt a sense of joy and vitality, as if all the energy in the energy field was converging on me.
If I have the time, I think I'll come back.
I'll stay another night here, feel the breeze at the village entrance, listen to the water under the stone bridge, and experience the night in this small mountain village in southwestern Zhejiang.

Excellent stay, lovely surroundings, great dining, and the accommodation itself was fantastic. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They even contacted us in advance to arrange pickup from the parking lot and helped with our luggage. Plus, they shared some of their homemade tea!
We stayed for two nights, and the only minor issues were that the screen mirroring in one room wasn't working perfectly, and the shower pressure was a bit low. However, the other room was absolutely perfect!
If we visit Songyang again, we'll definitely choose this place, perhaps trying a different room type next time. 😀

The room is very clean and tidy, and the comfort is great. I have never slept outside with such comfortable pillows, mattresses and quilts. I chose the attic room on the third floor. The bed is facing the window, allowing direct sunlight and sufficient heating at night. The hot water in the bath is not too hot, the bath is a bit cold, and the shower is okay. The store also thoughtfully prepared some disposable towels, which is very thoughtful. It’s great for people like me who don’t use outside towels! The landlord and his wife are very down-to-earth, and they also eat in the store in the evening. The local village is very quiet, and the sunset is beautiful. It is suitable for relaxing and renovating on weekends. The B&B I stayed in was the best in the whole village, and the decoration was all wooden. It should be very comfortable to sleep in the attic and listen to the chirping of insects in the summer!

This homestay really dug a treasure! The environment is clean and unique, the layout is warm and stylish, in line with the local old architectural style, the details are full of care. A warm small residence, healing all the fatigue of the journey. The location is superb, the road up the mountain is nine curves and eighteen bends, the driving feeling is simply refreshing to the extreme ~, the most important thing is that the landlord is warm and caring, the boss’s cooking skills are great, away from the hustle and bustle, comfortable and quiet, living comfortably, it is a rare beautiful habitat in travel ~👍👍👍

I didn't expect such a high-quality homestay in an ancient village.
The boss is super enthusiastic
Not only recommended the restaurant, there is invincible delicious local chicken soup,
I'll make tea when I arrive.
The homestay is a renovation of its own old house
But the furniture is very good.
What you see is what you get
The environment of the small village is great
Quiet and good to go shopping
It should be good to play in the water in summer.

ShengyiliaisuerchacengbuWe were traveling with our children and stayed in a suite. The room was clean, especially the quilts and bath towels, which were white as new. Every room was very tidy, and even our children, who are a little bit obsessed with mysophobia, praised it highly. The proprietress ordered dinner for us, but I forgot to pay until I left the hotel and was on my way home. I contacted the proprietress and added him on WeChat before transferring the money to him. They were very nice, especially the beautiful scenery next to the hotel, which really looked like a landscape painting. It was so beautiful that you could see it from the hotel window. If nothing happened, I would really like to stay a few more days.

AiwandexiaoyetuI went to Songyang with my dog and stayed at Yunshang Pingtian. It was a very good experience. The housekeeper was very enthusiastic and nice. He helped us upgrade to a suite. I liked it very much. The most direct impact was that I decided to stay one more night on the spur of the moment and experienced the loft upstairs and downstairs.
The location of the B&B is very good. I heard that it is the earliest B&B. It is not in the scenic area, the mountain road is easier to drive, parking is convenient, the layout is very literary, the environment is very quiet, suitable for slow life! The breakfast is very good, especially the corn and sweet potatoes, it is so delicious! It is not as far as Songzhuang Village, and it is not as congested as Chenjiapu Village and Yangjiatang Village. But it is very close to Chenjiapu Village, and it is only a 20-minute drive to the old town. It is very pet-friendly. You can go to the restaurant and Grandpa's coffee shop with us. There are kittens in the store, which makes the dog excited!
Recommended!

KK gogogoThe boss was thoughtful. I asked what time to arrive in advance because it was too hot.
When I arrived, there was air conditioning.
To be honest, I knew the view was beautiful from the reviews.
It was still amazing.
The location of the village entrance. The location of the starry sky room is the highest point of the terrain.
Beautiful terraces, the mountain in the distance. Green everywhere.
But a friendly reminder, this high temperature of more than 30 degrees is due to the top floor.
The boss tried his best to sprinkle water all day, but it was still difficult to beat the heat.
Remember to close the curtains and the ceiling when you go out.
The room is newly decorated. It exceeds the expectations of a farmhouse.
Simple but quite clean.
The boss and his wife are polite and friendly, and the boss's wife is very delicious.
The stream fish has many bones and the meat is thin, and the beef is also very tender!
But guests who don't eat heavy food should remember to remind the saltiness!
The restaurant also has an unbeatable view, which is simply beautiful when the weather is cool.
And the starry sky ceiling is also a big thumbs up, because it is affected by water stains.
I didn't expect to see so many stars.
Before leaving, the lady boss gave me Dragon Boat Festival tea and asked if there was anything that needed improvement. With this attitude, I will definitely do better and better.
Blessings, and I recommend everyone to come here

The room was clean and well-equipped, with parking available right outside. It's a 5-minute walk from Yangjiatang, making it perfect for watching the sunrise in the morning. The sunlight creates the most beautiful filter, making you glow.
P1: The breakfast the owner's mother-in-law prepared for us. We slept until after 10 a.m., but she still left a hot breakfast for us. How thoughtful! She even packed up some for us to eat on the way. 😄 The owner said she'd arrange this for us next time.
P2: The sunset shot taken right outside the B&B. Sitting outside, enjoying the breeze and stargazing. 💫
P3: We didn't have a car, so getting to the county town was inconvenient. That evening, the owner drove my niece and me to an alley off the old street for dinner (I forgot what it was called, but it's pictured). Thumbs up! I'll be back next time.

The room is too small, not as big as the 32 square meters introduced in the picture, I am very surprised that there is a bedside aisle for one person. And there is no door in the bathroom, and the humidity is all facing the bed after the shower. The parking space is at the door of the hotel, and there are two parking spaces in the hotel, which is quite difficult to stop. This is the biggest slot.
Secondly, we went to the store and asked where the parking space was. The two waiters were estimated to be from the opposite restaurant, and said that we would run opposite the door and we didn't care.
Fortunately, the decoration of the homestay has characteristics, and there is a balcony. Sitting there for tea at night, watching the aunt wash clothes in the river in the morning, especially to the ancient street of Ming and Qing Dynasties is really close. The beds are also soft and sleep well.
