All-teak, all-wood mortise and tenon structure! Chongming Song Dynasty Aesthetic Hotel

The Song Dynasty aesthetics of Chongming Dongping Cottage are so graceful and moving. The flying eaves and upturned corners are like swallows flying in the air, light and agile; the interlaced dougong structures resemble the flowing rivers, smooth and natural. The pavilions emerge one after another, resembling the undulating mountains, layer upon layer; the artificial hills and flowing water blend together, just like the ink paintings of an artist, winding and lively. The sunlight reflecting off the glazed tiles creates a colorful array of light and shadow, as splendid and dazzling as the clouds at sunset. This hotel is located in Chongming, the backyard of Shanghai, just a three-minute drive from Dongping Forest Park. Nearby attractions include the Sea Flower Island Rose Hot Spring and Venus. Staying here is very convenient for visiting Chongming. Upon entering the hotel, you will be immersed in the atmosphere of Oriental aesthetics. The entire structure is made of teak wood and all-wood mortise and tenon joints, showcasing over 20 Song Dynasty aesthetic buildings. The intricate wood grain and the Chinese-style courtyard with its scenic views complement each other, while the wooden corridors and lattice windows are arranged in a harmonious manner, presenting a sense of deep and tranquil light and shadow aesthetics. The rooms start at 39 square meters, with a square and transparent layout, elegant bedding, and pure white walls. Walnut-colored wooden furniture is extensively used. The design pursues more comfort and functionality with fewer shapes, and the combination of wood materials and fabric textures enhances the sense of space. The simple lines and fresh color combinations are bold yet stable. This place is truly a paradise for ancient style enthusiasts! There are brand new ancient-style clothes for rent in the lobby, and you can take memorable photos among the pavilions and towers. There is also a pond in the garden where you can feed swans, which is quite interesting. If you bring children, you can also experience making handmade lanterns together, experiencing the charm of traditional culture. It's really cool!
