#Starry Lodge Bubble House Guesthouse Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Fairy tale of a snow-covered bubble house🫧360° sky and earth, luxury in the wild in Nanjing
Within an hour from downtown Nanjing, by the Ginkgo Lake, the first bubble house hotel in China is really beautiful in the heavy snow at the end of the year. 2-3 bubbles form a room, which is more transparent and cute in the snow.
🏡12 bubble houses are named after the 12 constellations. This time we stayed in the largest 'Aquarius', which has a bathroom, bedroom and a living room with a view. The double bubble 'Scorpio' is also recommended, where you can see the whole sunset.
In the room, looking up at the starry sky, there is a feeling of connection with the universe. The room is also very comfortable, no need to worry about facilities, even in the icy and snowy weather, there are sufficient air conditioning, heaters, and electric blankets. The housekeeper will also prepare eye masks to avoid the dazzling light in the morning affecting sleep. The room also has curtains and screens to ensure privacy.
☕️In the homestay coffee shop, you can bask in the warm sun and make tea around the stove. Surrounded by the Christmas atmosphere, spend a leisurely and colorful afternoon with cute cats and dogs.
🥬There is a vegetable garden in the village. As guests of the homestay, we can go for a picking experience. Vegetables hit by frost and snow will be sweeter.
After picking the vegetables, swinging the basket and passing by the lake, the setting sun is reflected on the lake, the white snow on the white walls and black tiles is shining, a small dog suddenly runs in front of you, it has been a long time since I took 3 minutes to feel the specific beauty brought by time.
🍲The housekeeper prepared for us, the bubble pot for dinner and the nine-grid for breakfast, outside the window is a piece of snow, and on the table is the steaming exquisite food.
I believe that the bubble house has different scenes in each season, which season will it be next time?

Need a breakaway from the bustling city life? Then why not book yourself a weekend breakaway from the city.
Address - Located just outside of the city in Nanjing. Take Subway line S1 (Airport line) and get off to the stop that is the closest to the lodge. From there you can take a Taxi/Didi to the entrance of the lodge.
Ambiance/Facilities - The lodge has everything that you might need in the room. However there is no mini fridge so you might need to bring your own cooler or so. Do bring some snacks and drinks with as there aren’t many stores or restaurants.
The lodge has a restaurant but very local food. There are other restaurants too but it’s all local.
Highlights - It’s peaceful and there are nice areas to go for walk. There is also a theme park just across the street if you would like to do something fun for the day. The park closes early but worth it. You can also rent a bbq stand if needed.
Avg. Price per Person - Prices will depend on the room type and time you go. We paid around 200¥ pp
Rating - I’d definitely rate it 5/5

During the May Day holiday, the reverse travel trend hits Nanjing, and places with a breeze are truly devoid of people
During the May Day holiday, the popular tourist spots in Nanjing will surely be overcrowded.
If you don't want to be stuck in the crowded city, you can visit the breezy places in Nanjing—Jiangning Guanyin Temple Village.
This little village, blooming with flowers, is incredibly beautiful, and even during the holidays, it's not overrun with tourists.
Right now, the village's roses and clematis are in full bloom, with May Day being the peak of the flowering season -
The lake in the middle of the village is filled with pink water lilies, resembling Monet's garden, so beautiful that words fail to describe it.
The green lawn by the lake is perfect for a family or friends to set up a tent, lie back, and relax.
There's also a small children's playground nearby, where kids can play in the sand, climb rocks, and play games...
Spending a leisurely holiday here is really nice.
If you want to stay overnight, the local B&Bs are quite distinctive. We chose the Starry Sky Bubble House in the village.
It's one of the earliest starry bubble house B&Bs in Nanjing, with a great environment. There are 12 bubble houses, each named after a zodiac sign.
There are double and triple bubble options, so you can choose according to your needs.
The rose wall at the bubble house is very pretty, perfect for taking photos and checking in.
Sitting under the canopy, sipping afternoon tea, admiring the flowers, and petting the clingy cats,
This must be what it feels like to steal a little leisure in a busy life.
Staying here also includes a complimentary vegetable picking experience, with the field right next to the B&B.
In the evening, while enjoying the breeze, you can pull Chinese lettuce and dig radishes in the field, which is really healing.
Jiangning Guanyin Temple Village admission: Free
Transportation: Suitable for self-driving, just navigate to Jiangning Guanyin Temple Village. There's a free parking lot at the entrance of the village. If you're staying at the Starry Sky Bubble House, you can park right next to the B&B.

Small tips:
Across the road from Guanyin Temple Village is the Nanjing Ginkgo Lake Park. If you're visiting the park, staying in Guanyin Temple is very convenient. During holidays, Ginkgo Lake Park has fireworks, which can be seen from the village.

Surrounding Nanjing | Lying in nature waiting for the sunset and the starry sky
Hi, I came to Nanjing
I didn't go to the crowded Confucius Temple
But I went through the crowd to see the mountains and fields
I moved into my own constellation attribute bubble house
What woke me up was not the alarm clock that rang over and over again,
But the whispers of the birds, the whispers of the forest,
And the gradually rising sunrise
I watched a sunset at four in the afternoon,
At 11 o'clock in the evening, lying in bed, I saw the starry sky
At breakfast, the cat of the homestay will quietly stay at your feet
The light and shadow will scatter on the table through the window
The radishes in the vegetable field can be taken home directly after being pulled out
...
Here, without much effort, I encountered poetry and tranquility
