Check-in! A must-stay homestay in Datong Ancient City - Qingyuan Xiaozhu (Datong Ancient City Wall Huayan Temple Branch)

🎈 Nestled at the foot of Datong Ancient City Wall lies a soothing haven to heal your fatigue - Qingyuan Xiaozhu Homestay (Huayan Temple Branch). The moment you push open the carved wooden door🌸, it feels like traveling back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, with blue bricks, dark tiles, flying eaves, and bracket sets - even your breath carries the charm of millennia-old elegance~ 🏮 Perfect location Just a 5-minute walk to Huayan Temple! Open your window in the morning to see the ancient temple's eaves faintly visible in the mist; stroll along the city wall at dusk and return "home" under the🌇 sunset glow - who can resist such an experience? Nearby attractions like Drum Tower East Street, Shanhua Temple, and Nine-Dragon Wall are all within 1 km, making it super convenient for exploration~ 🛏 The pinnacle of ancient aesthetics Every room is like a meticulously crafted artwork! Simple style paired with elegant bedding, walls adorned with traditional paper cuttings and calligraphy🖼. The "Qingman Family Room" I stayed in even has a small courtyard - sipping tea while watching the street view is the true relaxation a trip should offer! 🎀 🍜 Datong on your tongue The homestay provides free breakfast with a variety of options, including freshly ground soy milk with handmade steamed buns and local specialty millet cakes! The owner is super enthusiastic🥳 and will share insider tips on the best knife-cut noodle shops and old-style lamb offal soup spots - just follow their recommendations! 📸 100% photogenic Drinking tea in the courtyard, every casual shot looks like a cinematic masterpiece! We recommend wearing Hanfu during your stay - after taking photos at Huayan Temple Square, continue your "mansion heiress" moments back at the homestay. Nine-grid social media posts won't be enough!🤳 🤩 Travelers to Datong, skip the cookie-cutter hotels! This "Qingyuan Xiaozhu" hidden in the ancient city's charm lets you sleep in history and dwell in poetry✨ #DatongTravel #AncientCityHomestay #DatongAccommodation #HiddenGem #DiscoverUniqueStays
