[2025 Yixing Hotels] Travel Guide for Jiangzuo Fenghuang Homestay (Yixing Tongguanshan Branch) (Updated Jul)

As the car rounded the last ridge, my phone signal suddenly faded, replaced by the rustling of bamboo waves across the hills—Jiangzuo Phoenix Homestay was hidden in this sea of green, like an uncut jade gently cradled in the palm of the mountains. Pushing open the creaky wooden door, the first thing that greeted me was the fresh, earthy scent of plants. The hostess was crouched in the courtyard picking vegetables, the cherry tomatoes in her bamboo basket gleaming red. She stood up with a smile: "Just picked from the back mountain, washed and ready to try." On the stone table were rustic clay teapots, steeping this year's freshly harvested Yangxian Snow Buds—the pale green tea was slightly bitter at first sip, but a subtle sweetness lingered, as if holding the essence of spring from the entire mountain on my tongue. The guest room was cozier than expected. No flashy decorations, just a solid wooden bed crafted by an old carpenter, dressed in sun-bleached linen sheets that carried the scent of sunshine. The best part was the floor-to-ceiling window facing terraced tea fields. Drawing the curtains at dawn, I’d see tea pickers in bamboo hats moving through the rows, their baskets brimming with vibrant leaves. By dusk, the sunset painted the distant peaks tangerine, while mountain breezes rustled through the bamboo groves, a lullaby more soothing than any white noise. After dinner, sitting on bamboo chairs in the courtyard, watching fireflies drift over from the tea fields like tiny lanterns, the hostess would bring a stool and share stories of Tongguan Mountain, moonlight glinting softly on her silver hair, gentle as a painting. A 15-minute bike ride to the mountaintop for sea of clouds, 20 minutes to an ancient temple for bell chimes—when tired, I’d return to the tearoom to write, read, or simply doze off at the square table. Waking to sunlight filtering through wooden lattices, casting dappled patterns on the floor, while tea pickers’ songs floated up from the valley, mingling with the sound of dew-kissed tea leaves. Suddenly, it became clear: the best journeys aren’t about ticking off sights, but about turning days into quiet poetry in places like this.

#Sign up for tripbest7月酒店试睡員** This time I came to Tongguan Mountain in Yixing, and chose to stay at "Jiangzuo Phoenix B&B". The overall experience was amazing! The B&B is surrounded by green mountains. You can see the misty mountain scenery when you open the window, and the air is so fresh that you can't help but take a deep breath. The B&B adopts the traditional Su-style architectural style, with white walls and black tiles and wooden decorations, full of Jiangnan charm. The room is spacious and comfortable, with original wood furniture and handmade fabrics embellished in it, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere. The most special thing is the rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy the sunrise over the sea of clouds in the morning and watch the stars and the moon at night, which makes people completely relaxed. The owner of the B&B is kind and enthusiastic, and especially recommends the local specialty breakfast-Yixing black rice porridge with salty bamboo shoots, which has a unique flavor. The Tongguan Mountain Ancient Road is within walking distance, suitable for hiking enthusiasts. If you want to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of the city, this is definitely a great choice for healing your body and mind!

Spring is the perfect time to get outdoors and embrace nature. Last weekend, we escaped to the mountains and forests to enjoy a breath of fresh air. [🚗Transportation] There is a parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and a shuttle service is available. The one-way trip takes about 15 minutes. (There is only this one guesthouse on the mountaintop. The scenic area is not open to the public, so visitors can only hike up the mountain.) [🏠Accommodation] We stayed in the Sunrise View Mountain Lake View King Room. ✅The overall style is natural and warm, with wooden elements and a full-length window that frames the beautiful scenery outside like a painting. ✅There is a slide that the kids loved, and picture books are also available. After playing, the kids can quietly immerse themselves in the world of stories. ✅Perfect for lazy people! Just say, "Xiaodu, open the curtains," and then get out of bed to enjoy the beautiful sunrise. [🍴Food] In addition to breakfast, the guesthouse restaurant also serves lunch and dinner. You need to book in advance with the manager. We chose to have dinner here to avoid going up and down the mountain. The food is home-style, and you can order anything without worrying about it being bad. [🌈Activities] 🌟A simple but fun children's play area. Even our kindergartener had a blast and didn't want to leave. 🌟The rooftop infinity pool blends seamlessly with the mountain scenery. When the weather is hot, you can enjoy swimming. 🌟There is also Xianglu Peak next to the guesthouse. You can take a short hike along the winding mountain road and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery.

Around Nanjing for a self-driving tour, I love Yixing and Liyang the most because they are fun and not far away. Last week, I took the kids on a self-drive trip to Yixing again, treasure Yixing ah, besides playing in the water and upstream, there are also many classic hiking routes, such as Qianyuan Village, Longchi Mountain, Wushi Ancient Trail, Twenty-three Bay... Originally planned to hike Tongguan Mountain, which is known as the first peak of Southern Jiangsu, but after careful consideration, it was not quite suitable for children under five years old. Then I discovered that there was a B&B on the top of the mountain, amazing, as a B&B enthusiast, I decisively took the kids to stay for two days😌 This scenic area is a private entity, not open to the public (visitors can only hike up the mountain to enter), staying in this only B&B on the mountaintop is equivalent to enjoying the entire scenic area's view alone, with few people and stunning scenery.
