Taixingli · Courtyard of Oriental Aesthetics: A Serene Poem Hidden Within the Bustling City
[Realm · Secluded in the Market]
Nestled deep within the vibrant heart of Shantou's Xiaogongyuan, the homestay is just a short stroll away from the architectural charm of the arcade-style buildings and the lively food streets. It also offers convenient access to the Guangzhou Ferry Terminal, from where you can gaze at the azure waters and blue skies of Nan'ao Island. However, the moment you step into this wabi-sabi space crafted from natural wood and light, the hustle and bustle of the outside world quietly fades away, leaving only a serenity that echoes the ancient verse: "Building a cottage amidst the human realm, yet free from the noise of carriages and horses."
[Courtyard · Observing Inner Peace]
Every room on the first floor boasts a private stone-paved courtyard. Surrounded by lush greenery, you can exclusively enjoy the shifting light and shadows of dawn and dusk, or brew tea at the dedicated Chaoshan Gongfu tea table. As the tea aroma wafts through the air, you will find inner tranquility. Moss creeps up the stone steps, and plants follow their natural instincts—every scene and object here is a silent expression of Oriental aesthetics.
[Dwelling · Nurturing Body and Soul]
Select room types are equipped with bathtubs, where the misty steam and fragrant bath salts offer complete healing for a weary journey. The rustic texture of the wabi-sabi wooden interiors is paired with modern amenities such as smart projectors and temperature-controlled toilets. This blend of simplicity and refinement allows both body and soul to find rest in comfort and atmosphere.
[Service · Free from Dust and Disturbance]
From complimentary parking and airport transfers to the attentive response of 24-hour butler service, every detail is designed to brush away the dust of your journey. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the unique Oriental elegance of Taixingli, enjoying a stretch of slow time undisturbed.
