LLanJiangA perfect slice of authentic rural China – unforgettable stay with the most adorable hosts! ★★★★★
We feel so lucky to have come across Lixia and Sea Homestay. From the moment we arrived, we were completely charmed. What makes this place special for me is its sincerity. Every detail shows how much Lixia and Haibo want guests to feel welcomed, relaxed, and genuinely connected to village life.
The young owners, Lixia and Haibo, are such a lovely, talented, and hard-working couple who got married not long ago and have just opened this beautiful homestay together. Their passion and warmth are everywhere. Haibo is a professional photographer and an incredible cook – every meal he prepared for us was fresh, seasonal, and absolutely delicious. Lixia is just as amazing: super energetic, thoughtful, and incredibly talented behind the camera.
They also have the sweetest dog named One Two Three – a patient and gentle soul who quickly became our favorite companion. She joined Lixia in accompanying us around the village and along the ancient trails, adding even more joy to our walks.
What truly blew us away was the photography and videos Lixia made for us. While we explored, she quietly captured the most beautiful shots of us among the old stone houses and ancient trails. At the end of our stay, she surprised us with two wonderfully edited short videos that perfectly captured the joy and laughter of our weekend. I’ve stayed at hundreds of places around the world and have never received anything like this – it’s a memory we’ll treasure forever.
The rooms are spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with local touches. Every small detail – from the welcome fruit basket to the cozy fireplace at night – shows how much love and effort this young couple puts into making guests feel truly at home.
If you want to slow down, eat amazing home-cooked food, have your trip professionally documented, and be spoiled by the kindest hosts (and their wonderful dog) in Zhejiang, book Lixia and Sea Homestay immediately.
Thank you, Lixia and Haibo, for a memorable time! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and a thriving homestay ♡
JJaybonesHighly recommend this place. No children and very quiet. The host will share good tea and chat with you all day if you like. Of course you will also get to see the famous cat, who is very chill. Clouds are always moving around and touching the mountain tops. Very pleasant views.
***Make sure to try the fish dish at the “small” restaurant upstairs from the hotel-the one with the red lanterns. Food is excellent. ***
15-20 minute walk to Chanjiapu and half hour to Xikeng.

GGuest UserIn the old house, an uncle was experiencing his life and career with all his heart. The first time I saw him, he was wearing a snow-white shirt, not tall, and his hair was combed cleanly. He looked like a well-organized person. The uncle tidied the room in the old house, breaking my previous impression that the old house was dark and damp.
My daughter and I drove here by ourselves. The uncle knew in advance that we needed to prepare lunch, but when we arrived, we found that the lunch prepared by the uncle was a full table of dishes. The dishes retained their original flavor and tasted really good.
My daughter and I also made a small mistake in the old house and dirty the floor of the old house. The uncle scrubbed the floor and did not blame us at all. Instead, he continued to entertain us better and shared peaches and dates with us.
I was very touched by the uncle's simplicity and kindness. Although I only slept for one night, the experience of staying here made me feel the warmth of family.
XXiaocuier98761The biggest feeling is that it is clean and quiet. You can slow down here and take a walk in the village if you have time. The room is the same as online, because my waist is not good, but the mattress is really comfortable, and the breakfast and everything are good ~
AAnonymous UserAll seasons hotel, has been watching for a year, because last year I thought of Songyang to see the ancient village, this year's wish was realized. The hotel is fully equipped, the bedding and pillows are particularly comfortable, black tea tea bags and government and white tea tea bags are also full of sincerity and satisfactory. The only fly in the ointment is the uneven service awareness of the service staff. The first wave of waiters were unwilling to solve the problem of changing rooms for me. Until the second wave of shift waiters, the Qingxiu girl helped me solve my appeal, so the service needs to deduct half a star.

GGuest UserTime is limited, so it seems to be a good choice to choose Yunying Heart Valley to stay for one night among many homestays in Songyang. You can drive here directly during holidays, which is much more convenient. The environment is quiet and it feels like you have occupied a small hill. You can walk along the trails to Chenjiapu and Xikeng around to avoid the crowds. The restaurant is also good. Overall, I recommend it.

JJoanne KayYi Yuan Village is a quaint, peaceful and authentic hideaway in the mountains, away from the tourist crowds that cause chaos further down the valley back towards Song Yang City. It has a few homestays, ours at Yi Yin being the best and most recently opened. The host family (Ceng) is generous and hospitable, friendly, polite and helpful. Rooms were spotless and clean, nicely furnished and easy to reach, nearer the entrance to the village. All meals were freshly made with home-made or locally sourced ingredients, very tasty! They helped us arrange several day trips with an excellent driver (Xiao Bao) whom I also highly recommend. He can be contacted through the host family; he is popular, so I would suggest you request his services once you have confirmed your stay at Yi Yin. Yi Yin is well placed for visiting the surrounding area; there is daily, regular public transport to and from the village and surrounding countryside.
VVickyHu10I didn't expect such a high-quality homestay in an ancient village.
The boss is super enthusiastic
Not only recommended the restaurant, there is invincible delicious local chicken soup,
I'll make tea when I arrive.
The homestay is a renovation of its own old house
But the furniture is very good.
What you see is what you get
The environment of the small village is great
Quiet and good to go shopping
It should be good to play in the water in summer.
GGuest UserA perfect getaway from the city. The previous village that existed here was renovated and turned into a hotel, but it still retains its countryside charm. There are various activities from swimming in the infinity pool and playing pool in the games room. The food is fresh and tasty and there is coffee in the room, as well as at breakfast. Always a welcome addition. The service was great and they transported the bags up the steps for us, which was nice, as we were at the top. Overall, a great way to spend a weekend away from it all. Watch the clouds role in and enjoy the scenery.
