Suzhou is the most representative of the residential houses in the Jiangnan water town. Zhouzhuang is known as the first water town in China. It is a typical small bridge and flowing water family in the Jiangnan of the Yangtze River. Zhouzhuang Ancient Town can be said to be a household name. When you visit Zhouzhuang, in addition to visiting the ancient town, Xiangcun Qizhuang, hidden outside Zhouzhuang, is also worth a visit, because here, you can experience another life in Zhouzhuang!

Xiangcun·Qizhuang is located in Sanzhubang Village, Zhouzhuang Town, Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, only 5 kilometers away from Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. It is another famous brand in Zhouzhuang's tourism development. Relying on the ancient town, it extends the surrounding advantageous resources and expands and develops based on the principles of "respect" and "altruism","restoration" and "integration", and develops rural tourism with "embedded" to present tourists the pastoral style of the original village in the water town. B & B is a folk tourism experience project.

Xiangcun·Qizhuang is hidden in the fields outside the ancient town. In the original ecological village of Jiangnan Water Town, the idle houses of villagers have been renovated with different era themes and transformed into rural villas adjacent to local villagers. Living in Xiangcun has a view of the stars; You can hear the barking of chickens and dogs; you can pick hand-made works, fish, rafting, and you can also be in a quiet daze. Xiangcun, a wilderness in Jiangnan Water Town, provides tourists with a sense of nature, leisure and freedom as much as possible, which is a relaxation and return of the soul.

Xiangcun·Qizhuang, which integrates leisure, accommodation and ecological agriculture, has now become the first choice for many people's rural tourism destination.

From the center of the colorful ancient town to Qizhuang, the hustle and bustle of the city is gradually fading away. The village is very quiet and the countryside is beautiful. The warm and friendly neighbors of the village give Xiangcun a warm place, and you can wander among the cottages at will. Here, you can experience the local feelings that are different from urban life. This kind of B & B culture also explains that "there is a kind of life called Zhouzhuang". Come to Zhouzhuang and Xiangcun to experience it.

There is a life called Zhouzhuang. In fact, Zhouzhuang has more than one life.

Xiangcun·Qizhuang is weaving a pastoral picture of a water town with peaceful years. Chickens and dogs hear each other and traffic is scattered across the roads. The days in Qizhuang are comfortable and peaceful, which always makes people feel a sense of belonging to home and endless hope. The "Times Show" characteristic B & Bs created by Xiangcun·Qizhuang restore people's pastoral dreams. A B & B is an era and a feeling.

In addition to the village history museum, book shop and other supporting facilities, 9 B & Bs are currently open, with a total of 32 guest rooms (standard rooms: 8 rooms, large beds: 24 rooms, and building in the building: 3 rooms). From the 1960s to the 1900s, B & Bs are all converted from farmhouses. In the third phase of B & B, the new Chinese style with white walls and black tiles is eye-catching. There are multi-functional spaces such as tea rooms, restaurants, and conference rooms, which can meet the different needs of group construction and family gatherings.

B & B No. 5 - 1980s

Memories from the 1980s, a single-family two-story residential building, a courtyard filled with flowers and green grass, full of the feeling of seclusion from outside the world. Old luggage in the living room, press-type kettle in the kitchen, satin bed tail towels in the bedroom... It always brings back memories of people's childhood.

#9 B & B-1980s Shanghai Style

Old-fashioned earthen stoves, crabapple embossed glass, half-wall waist line, European simple style, the atmosphere of Shanghai-style petty bourgeoisie, traditional Republic of China style, and the stars we have chased in those years... Huge courtyard, small tree house, equipped kitchen, seesaw... There is always the same satisfaction and attraction to you.

B & B No. 1 - 1990s

In the 1990s, it was a private small courtyard. It was simple and generous. The building was built along the river and had two courtyards. The west courtyard contained a bamboo forest. It was quiet, quiet and beautiful in environment. The building contained a separate living room and kitchen, and kitchen utensils. Everything is everything, it's the perfect place to come here for a vacation! This building has two courtyards, east and west, and can accommodate up to 11 people at the same time. On the west side of the second floor, there is an attic room specially designed for children, which is very popular among children. On the west side is a small courtyard of bamboo forests. We dig bamboo shoots in spring, listen to cicadas on summer nights, take advantage of the cool wind in autumn, and warm sun in winter to experience the life of rural people.

Every B & B here is full of characteristics. The pastoral life of Xiangcun is filled with every detail here. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. When you come here, you can relieve the fatigue of travel in a comfortable room, and you can enjoy it here. A quiet leisure time.

In addition to experiencing B & Bs, you can explore the natural wilderness in the bamboo forest, or experience the fun of picking in the countryside, picking fruits hanging in front of the door and tasting the taste of the countryside.

Beautiful fields and beautiful ponds, seasonal melon and fruit gardens, walking in the countryside of Xiangcun·Qizhuang, freshly picked corn and radishes bring a freshness between the fields, outlining the taste of childhood on the tip of my tongue! There are also Xiangcun pickles, pickled radishes, multi-colored vegetables, tender ginger... They are all unforgettable smells and memories.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely." Such a picture has given countless people rushing through the busy traffic of the city the expectation of returning to the countryside.

Here, you can taste authentic farm dishes, or you can cook yourself, make picked vegetables into a delicious dish, and you can also taste your own brewed soy milk.

In the morning, the housekeeper will place hot porridge and small dishes on the table to spare more time for the guests. An independent and warm space becomes a small world.

After breakfast, we walked in Xiangcun·Qizhuang, and there were different pastoral water town scenery along the way. Passing by the houses, the bluegrass crawls all over the fence, and unexpected surprises will be found in the jungle where it grows wantonly... Or sit on the edge of the countryside and have a leisurely afternoon tea and enjoy the atmosphere of slow life. It feels like returning to nature. Isn't this the pastoral life where Tao Yuanming retired thousands of years ago?
