Found this treasure homestay in Shenzhen's Pingshan District through reviews – Anxiao INNXIAO! Truly a paradise for urban hermits, offering understated luxury and healing vibes. Sharing with friends who want a brief escape from the hustle and bustle~ 🏡 B&B Highlights: 1. Stellar Design: Minimalist loft style.

Found this B&B called "ANXIAO INNXIAO" in Pingshan that truly embodies slow living! Tucked away at No.5 Henglong Road (just search the name for navigation) - the moment you push open the door, the charm of this blue-brick-and-black-tile ancestral house makes you want to stay forever! The courtyard suite is absolutely stunning! Converted from an authentic Hakka dwelling, it preserves vintage elements like carved wooden cabinets and rammed earth walls that blend seamlessly with modern sofas and warm lighting. The tatami tea area deserves special praise - brew tea here while watching greenery sway and water trickle outside the window, with occasional mist floating by like living in a painting ☁️ Rooms spacious enough to dance in! Cloud-soft beds guarantee instant sleep, while the oversized bathtub leaves you completely refreshed. The floor-to-ceiling windows are the real showstopper - dappled courtyard light by day, stargazing from bed by night ✨ This is what "escapism" should feel like! Service details will delight perfectionists! Welcome fruits upon arrival, breakfast with freshly ground coffee that warms the soul (their house-roasted beans paired with handmade pastries are irresistible). The super-friendly owner even helps plan local itineraries - none of that "instagrammable B&B" pretentiousness! More ways to enjoy! The property features a bamboo-reflecting pool (ultra-soothing), tea pavilion (sip while listening to the wind), and Goldfish Creek (full of little surprises). Next door at Huilong Shiju, check out "HAKKA Coffee" - another photogenic courtyard transformed from old houses, perfect for snapping pics before returning for delicious skewers! Verdict: Shenzheners' secret escape from fast-paced life! The nostalgic charm of old houses meets modern comfort - one night here and you'll want to move in permanently!

Located in Pingshan A private and exquisite courtyard—celebrating birthdays here is pure human bliss. Gather a few close friends for a house party—the ultimate birthday venue! I booked the "Late Autumn - Wabi-Sabi Loft Twin Beds Courtyard Room," which has two floors. The first floor features two tatami tea seating areas and comes with a sound system—perfect for playing cards or games with friends. The second floor has a separate bedroom, with the bathroom also located upstairs. The room is a renovated traditional Hakka house, preserving many vintage elements like carved wooden cabinets, exuding timeless charm. Yet it doesn’t feel outdated—even without any birthday decorations, just a cake makes for great photos! Their afternoon tea and breakfast can be delivered to your room. My friends and I all agreed it was absolutely delicious! You can also enjoy afternoon tea, breakfast, or dinner at their café, #Kè Kā (last photo shows their coffee shop).

After finishing my last shift, when I navigated to "Pingshan," a message popped up on my phone: "You have entered the slow breathing zone." It turns out that in a corner of bustling Shenzhen, there is still such an old Hakka house that has been gently treated by the years. Between the blue bricks and black tiles, every stone and every tile tells the story of the past. Living in the hometown that has left the city allows the heart to return to peace. Nearby surprises｜A 3 km slow-walking circle hides another Shenzhen According to the "Pingshan Roaming Algorithm" given by the butler, I unlocked the B side of the city: → A century-old Hakka walled village, 823 steps away, with the secret of the Hakka people's southward migration embedded in the seams of the blue brick walls → A wild art gallery discovered in 12 minutes by bike, with retired containers exhibiting the urban villages in the eyes of post-00s artists → Pingshan Library, a 10-minute ride on the B&B's exclusive shuttle bus, where even the sound of turning pages under the water-patterned dome is poetic It was then that I realized that beyond Shenzhen's speed myth, there is such a rich "slow variable."

Escape the city bustle and enjoy a weekend getaway in Shenzhen Pingshan. Conveniently located near Kengzi Station on Subway Line 14, it's easily accessible from the city center. ✅ Revitalizing traditional dwellings: Hakka ancient houses are given new life. Rammed earth houses near Huilong Shiju have been transformed into new-Chinese local Hakka homestays, offering a tranquil escape in a Hakka village. ✅ A small stream and tea pavilion grace the front yard, while a swimming pool sits in the back. The rooms, a fusion of wabi-sabi and Hakka styles, are named Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each exuding a poetic charm. Next to the homestay, "HAKKA KEKA," a coffee shop, is also housed in a renovated Hakka old house. The village coffee courtyard offers ample space. 📍 Location: Anxiao Homestay INN XIAO
