stay by the lake
Qian Dao Hu Matcha Estate
Tucked away in Lodicun Village near Qiandao Lake, this organic matcha estate was founded in 2006 by Ms. Guo, who returned from Japan with a vision of cultivating both tea and a quieter way of life. The 700-mu plantation stretches along gentle hills and water, where the seasons unfold with a quiet rhythm.
The guesthouse follows a restrained Japanese aesthetic, with just five rooms. Tatami bedding and loft-style high ceilings create an open, calming space — well suited for families looking to slow down for a few days. Each room comes with a private hot spring bath, opening out to views of carefully tended tea fields.
Life here moves at an unhurried pace. Mornings begin with a simple Japanese breakfast, while the day offers tea ceremonies and cultural experiences. For those drawn to stillness and nature, it feels less like a stay, and more like a different way of living
Yinxiang West Courtyard
Hidden deep in the mountains of Dashu Town near Qiandao Lake, at an altitude of around 800 meters, Yinxiang West Courtyard sits among mist-covered hills, quietly removed from the pace of modern life.
Founded by Yu Weixing, a former associate chief orthopedic surgeon at Beijing Tongren Hospital, the retreat began in 2014 when he chose to leave the city and settle here. With a philosophy of restoring rather than rebuilding, he has carefully revived a cluster of traditional village houses, incorporating years of personal cultural collections into the space. The result is a place that feels both rooted in the past and quietly reflective.
Life here unfolds slowly. Surrounded by forest, guests may come across wild medicinal herbs in the hills, or spend time in conversation with Mr. Yu on traditional Chinese medicine and cultural practices. For those seeking distance from the city, Yinxiang offers not just a stay, but a quiet space for reflection, restoration, and a deeper connection with nature.
