[2025 Liyang Stay] Travel Guide for Hegu Village Home Stay of Liyang City (Updated Apr)

When it comes to Jiangsu, people may think of Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, etc., after all, in tourism, the thirteen Taibao are all famous To avoid the crowd, I specifically went to the treasure city of Liyang, which was strongly recommended by my friends before. Compared with the popular cities around, it is more like the backyard of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, very suitable for weekend vacations~ I have carefully organized a strategy, it is recommended to collect‼️ 🍃【Liyang Three-Day Two-Night Tour Route】 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏：Liyang Museum➠Baoen Zen Temple➠Tianmu Lake➠Fang Suo Cultural Village 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐：Liyang No.1 Road➠Pingqiao Stone Dam➠Hegu Village 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟑：Hegu Village➠Nanshan Bamboo Sea➠Return 🍃【About Transportation】 ❶ Friends from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are recommended to drive by themselves or take the high-speed rail directly to Liyang Station ❷It is recommended to rent a car or take the south/north line tourist bus in the city 🍃【5 Scenic Spots Worth Checking in Liyang】 ❶Nanshan Bamboo Sea Take a small train through the bamboo sea of ten thousand acres, as if traveling through Hayao Miyazaki's movie, the entire scenic area is very large and you can see small animals such as flamingos and pandas ❷Tianmu Lake Who would have thought! Liyang actually has two 5A-level scenic spots. As one of them, Tianmu Lake is like a blue gem left by God. It is said that it is very good to take a hot spring here ❸Fang Suo Cultural Village A Chinese village built with culture as the concept, small bridges and flowing water show the unique aesthetics of the Jiangnan water town, and the lights are super out of the picture in the evening ❹Liyang Museum It looks like an alien spaceship from the outside, where you can learn about the past and present of Liyang, and there are also rich bronze porcelain, calligraphy and painting stone tools, etc. in the exhibition hall ❺Baoen Zen Temple I was asked crazy! I really didn't go to Southeast Asia haha, the entire temple is Southeast Asian style, golden and brilliant 🍃【About Accommodation】 Hidden in the bamboo sea, listening to the mountain wind. On this trip to Liyang, I chose the homestay in Hegu Village. This private soup courtyard homestay far away from the city is too suitable for a weekend holiday. The room's various facilities are not lost to the star hotel. The rooms all have independent small courtyards and courtyard pools, where you can drink tea and soak in the soup, it's simply too comfortable~

Nestled between Liyang's Nanshan Bamboo Sea and Tianmu Lake, a modern homestay with the soul of "tea and Zen as one" - Hegu Village - quietly flourishes. This is not just a traveler's resting place, but an immersive experience blending Liyang's local culture with contemporary aesthetics. The owner has created a striking modern silhouette among tea fields through staggered gray-tiled sloping roofs and transparent glass walls. The main building employs Liyang's traditional rammed earth technique, with walls incorporating local rice husks that reveal subtle textures as the light changes. Guest rooms range from 45 to 80 square meters, continuing the minimalist natural style with wooden furniture paired with linen fabrics and no excessive decoration. Bedding is made of premium Egyptian cotton, bath products feature a custom Chinese herbal series, and some rooms come with private soaking pools. The homestay owner has partnered with local "Shrimp King" Chef Xu to create a signature menu: wild bamboo shoots freshly harvested from Nanshan Mountain paired with Liyang white celery, accompanied by casserole-baked Yanlaijun mushroom sauce. The signature "Three Black Feast" (black rice, liver, and Yanlaijun mushrooms) features ingredients from the homestay's own farm. Beyond the standard tea room and book bar, Hegu Village takes greatest pride in its cultural experiences. In the morning, guests can join tea pickers on the mountain to experience the art of harvesting "one bud and one leaf." Don't miss the "Bamboo SPA," where therapists combine local herbs with aromatherapy and the unique "bamboo cupping" technique effectively relieves urban sub-health conditions. When city anxieties are blown away by mountain breezes, and mobile signals become intermittent, you can finally hear your inner voice—perhaps this is what the owner calls "the healing power of mountain living."
