Nothing much to know for a foreigner ! But so many Chinese packed in the small house !
The buildings with the charm of the ancient city are mainly on the south bank of Henan, and the former residence of the second brother is also on the south bank. Compared with the buildings next to the river such as Xiong Xiling's former residence and the Yang family's ancestral hall, the former residence of the second brother is relatively far from the riverside and closer to the Ximen Tower. There is an antique wooden sign when it is about to arrive
The old house is not big, but also can understand Mr. Shen Congwen's life, to Mr. have a further understanding of the impulse, he is a great master, life experience countless setbacks, but always do not forget the initial heart, want to pick up again "Border City" good again to experience.
Very good inn. There is a beautiful view of the Lijiang River. The boss is very enthusiastic. Overall is excellent.
