Phoenix Ancient Town's Hidden Gem: A Personal Experience at "You Ran Qing Su" B&B

This time, I visited the Phoenix Ancient Town in Xiangxi and specifically chose the highly-rated "You Ran Qing Su" B&B. It truly lived up to its reputation! Tucked away in the cobblestone alleys of the ancient town, this B&B greets you with a courtyard full of flowers and lanterns as soon as you step through the door. It instantly isolates you from the hustle and bustle, making you feel like you've stepped into a painting. **Exceptional Environment and Service**! The B&B features a private courtyard with minimalist Chinese-style decor. Wooden furniture paired with warm yellow lighting creates a cozy and laid-back atmosphere. The owner personally welcomes guests and even recommends hidden culinary gems in the ancient town. They go above and beyond, even helping with laundry and drying. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with windows overlooking the Tuojiang River. Opening the window in the morning reveals a breathtaking misty riverscape. **The highlight is the "Starry Sky Bar" at night**! The rooftop of the B&B is set up with a few lounge chairs. Sipping on the owner's homemade plum wine while gazing at the star-filled sky, accompanied by the distant lights of stilted houses, is unbelievably romantic. The next day, they even offer free bicycle rentals, allowing you to ride to Hongqiao to capture the ancient town shrouded in morning mist—a scene straight out of a movie. If you're tired of commercialized tourism, this B&B is undoubtedly a hidden treasure in Phoenix Ancient Town, worth dedicating a day to experience!
