Staying at Yunyin Mountain Retreat was my most satisfying choice in Songyang. It was tranquil and elegant, and the experience exceeded my expectations! Opening the window revealed distant mountains shrouded in mist, wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, and the air filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees. It was so quiet you could hear the mountain wind rustling through the forest – truly the idyllic retreat I'd always dreamed of.
The room was my absolute favorite, with its rustic elegance. Old wooden beams and rammed earth walls paired with warm yellow lighting created a wonderful atmosphere. The two 1.8-meter king-size beds were incredibly thoughtful – spacious, comfortable, and with just the right firmness.
The farm-style dinner was also a delightful surprise. The stir-fried beef with green peppers was tender and flavorful, the shrimp were bouncy and sweet, and there were refreshing seasonal vegetables and a comforting soup – every bite was authentically mountain flavor.
I stayed here for two nights and felt completely healed. I definitely want to come back!

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.

Guest UserIn the old house, an uncle was experiencing his life and career with all his heart. The first time I saw him, he was wearing a snow-white shirt, not tall, and his hair was combed cleanly. He looked like a well-organized person. The uncle tidied the room in the old house, breaking my previous impression that the old house was dark and damp.
My daughter and I drove here by ourselves. The uncle knew in advance that we needed to prepare lunch, but when we arrived, we found that the lunch prepared by the uncle was a full table of dishes. The dishes retained their original flavor and tasted really good.
My daughter and I also made a small mistake in the old house and dirty the floor of the old house. The uncle scrubbed the floor and did not blame us at all. Instead, he continued to entertain us better and shared peaches and dates with us.
I was very touched by the uncle's simplicity and kindness. Although I only slept for one night, the experience of staying here made me feel the warmth of family.

周I searched for famous hotels in the surrounding area. This is a good deal and I am worried that it will be bad. Unexpectedly, it is not bad. The proprietress is very good. Breakfast includes sweet potatoes, porridge, side dishes, etc. The room is simple and clean. I saw a thousand-year-old cuckoo Lin, the road is too bad, I hope it will be okay next year, it is worth recommending

Environment: The largest house in Yangjiatang Village has a history of more than 300 years. It has intactly retained the furniture of the past and the original structure of the building. It feels that time is solidified here. If you want the real typical southern Zhejiang residential experience, meditation and rest and experience, it is very suitable here.
Service: The aunts are very hospitable and very familiar with the local area. The proprietress was there for a few days and was a healing teacher. The Songxuan course led at night was very relaxing.

After comparison, we chose to stay at the ”Yunhaijian Culture B&B” in Pingtian Village. It is named after the magnificent scenery of Pingtian Village for more than 200 days a year. This is a comfortable place to live in a tea room, coffee house, pottery and tie-dyeing handmade, and the mountain is outside the window. Miss Butler gave us a free upgrade to the deluxe double room ”Liushan”, the terrace is facing the grandfather's cat coffee shop, ”Grandpa's cat coffee” is a village cat coffee transformed from the village utility room, the store adopted more than a dozen stray kittens, here you can drink coffee, cats, ancient village scenery. Dinner at the ”Shanjiaqing Restaurant”, booked the dishes one day in advance, of which Xieli Tea Shi chicken stew uses Songyang rheumatized herbs, slow stew with local chicken, chicken soup is delicious, meat is tight and tender, is a famous dish for tonic medicine. The night in the mountains was surprisingly quiet, and almost no sound was heard. The black silhouettes in the mountains were left in the distance. The yellow walls of the cottage, the stone steps of the small courtyard, and the wooden windows of the coffee shop were reflected in the warm yellow lights, and the light and shadow were mottled, like a broken star. Looking up, there is no world noise, and the lights and the night are gentle. The whole ancient village of ”Yun Shangpingtian” sank into a peaceful sleep. I walked on the stone steps, listened to the mountain breeze gently across the eaves, and felt the coolness and quietness of the ancient village at night! The next day, the housekeeper also sent a souvenir Dragon Boat Festival tea! Recommend this homestay!

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.

ZelinerjuMy two-day, one-night trip to Jinyun and Songyang has come to a perfect end! After comparing numerous guesthouses, I finally settled on ”Niaoji,” the king of value for money—it's right next to Songyang Old Street, a vibrant and lively place to explore! A service experience that will delight anyone with attention to detail:
▪️ Received a call from staff confirming my arrival time before I even arrived.
▪️ A friendly staff member was waiting at the door to help me find parking and carry my luggage.
▪️ Breakfast was incredibly generous, a thoughtful combination of Chinese and Western options.
▪️ While playing a game of staring contest in the 24-hour lobby in the evening, the staff smiled and said, ”Go ahead and play, we won't bother you.”
Hidden bonus surprises✨:
✅ The guesthouse owner, Mr. Xu, gave me a handmade brown sugar gift—so sweet!
✅ The next day, we had afternoon tea and a special lunch at ”Fei Niaoji Niaoka” in Chenjiapu Village (turns out both are owned by the same person!). From check-in to itinerary planning, I was pampered throughout. This is how a relaxing trip should be! Next time I'm in Songyang, I'll definitely be staying here again! 💛

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.
