Qixipu · Hejia Dayuan

This is the best old house I've ever stayed in. The staff were very friendly. It has the charm of an old house, but also the comfort of modern interiors. The soundproofing is excellent, so it's very quiet. I particularly loved the small alley outside the old house, one end leading to the river and the other extending to the foot of the mountain. It's located next to the New Bridge, and you can reach Hongrui Tower to watch the sunset in minutes. I especially love Zhenyuan; it's secluded and pleasant. The free Mid-Autumn Festival gala at the County Government Compound was also fantastic, a professional performance by the Provincial Huadeng Opera Troupe.

Truly a shining name card for Guizhou's tourism. The century-old residence is exceptionally well-restored and maintained, offering a tranquil and peaceful living experience that feels untouched by time. The hotel facilities are great, the staff are warm and friendly, and the coffee is delicious—perfect for sitting back and enjoying a cup in the courtyard during the afternoon. It's well worth staying for a few consecutive days to fully absorb the ancient town's profound history and the passage of time.

The overall decor is antique and elegant, and you can even try on ethnic costumes for free to take photos in the courtyard, which turn out great. The hotel is clean and tidy, and the service is attentive and warm. A group of capable women manage the entire courtyard.

The room was clean and tidy, very close to Wuyang River, right outside the door. Xiao Guo at the front desk, this young man is excellent! And a few female staff members were also great! They carried our luggage up and down the stone steps into the room! When we left for the train station, he (and another staff member) even pulled our suitcases to the intersection. It was a wonderful experience, and the price wasn't expensive. It's a deep courtyard house, giving you the feeling of being a young lady from a wealthy family. Highly recommended!

The room was super spacious, the service was excellent, and the environment was beautiful!

Not far from the entrance, making it convenient to visit various attractions. The guesthouse is located within Chongzikou Lane, a charming old house with a unique, somewhat quirky design (歪门邪道, literally 'crooked doors, evil ways', but used here to describe its irregular, old-fashioned architecture), drawing many tourists who stop to take photos outside. Breakfast is a fixed set menu, prepared with great care.

Our first stop on our summer trip to Guizhou was Zhenyuan Ancient Town. Hejia Courtyard is tucked away in an alley just a few minutes' walk from the town entrance. The moment we stepped into the courtyard, we were pleasantly surprised: it was clean and tidy, with lotus leaves and banana trees providing shade, and tea tables and bamboo chairs scattered about. Walking through the central courtyard to the back, we were even more amazed – the old house boasted carved beams and painted pillars, with intricate carvings on the doors and windows. It was rustic yet refined, exuding a charm that only comes with age. Our room was in the back courtyard, a clean and tidy two-story duplex, exceptionally quiet at night. The guesthouse staff were warm and attentive, and the food was excellent. We ended up eating almost every meal here because it was clean, hygienic, and delicious. Zhenyuan is a place worth revisiting, and Hejia Courtyard will definitely be my choice again.

This has become my favorite hotel! I've always loved these grand courtyard estates, but I've never truly experienced one as a 'host,' taking my time to savor and enjoy it up close. When I first saw photos of the hotel, I thought it looked small, but that was just the angle. First off, the rooms are huge, and they even come with a balcony – perfect for enjoying tea and just unwinding. It's absolutely wonderful! As for the courtyard, the one you see in pictures is just one of them; in reality, it's a 'three-entry, three-exit' courtyard complex! Each section is unique and incredibly picturesque. I later found out from a staff member that this is actually a century-old historical residence, now managed by the county's culture and tourism bureau and transformed into the area's finest courtyard-style guesthouse. If you love this kind of style, you absolutely have to check it out!
