Jiangnan Humanities B&B

Tongli ancient town, just outside Gusu, is one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, attracting countless tourists every year.

as an AAAAA-level scenic spot, tuisi garden in Tongli ancient town is listed as a world cultural heritage and is the most famous scenic spot. In addition, Tuisi Garden, Gengle Hall and Lize Girls' School are three national cultural relics protection units in the ancient town.

Tuisi Garden and Gengle Hall are very popular must-see projects because they are included in the scenic spot coupon. In contrast, Lize Girls' School is somewhat unpopular and niche. Apart from the joint ticket factor, the more important reason is that this scenic spot has been developed into a homestay project, and non-residents will be restricted in the peak period of tourism.

The founder of Lize Girls' School is the second director of Tuisi Garden, Mr. Chuanji.

In 196, Ren Chuanfu, who was ambitious, advocated education to save the country, destroyed his family and started a private girls' school in Tuisi Garden. After several years of painstaking efforts, the girls' school became famous and overcrowded, so it moved to its present position.

At present, the school gate at the main entrance, the teaching building and the national humiliation memorial pavilion in front of the building are well preserved. The combination of Chinese and Western styles of the Republic of China will instantly take you back to that turbulent era and relive the feelings of "just a classmate and teenager, in full bloom, reprimanding Fang Qiu".

Huajiantang Hotel Group, as the developer of Lize Girls' School, fully respects history, integrates Huajiantang aesthetics into the growth process of girls in the Republic of China, and reproduces the youth of an era.

The hotel room design idea is just like a girl's growth story. From the youth dormitory (multi-room) that entered the campus for the first time, to the traditional double room, and then to the Peach and Plum Garden with higher positioning and suitable for the whole family to live in, it is a perfect transformation from a girl to a celebrity, from a student's time to a family.

When we visited Tongli, we booked the most favorable room type at that time-Bi Yu Ya Ju (double room) online.

when the door of the guest room is pushed open, a comfortable fragrance strikes, which is the unique fragrant smell of Huajiantang. Every store room has the same smell, forming a unique smell label of Huajiantang life.

The beige, the conservative blue of the college, the rose purple of seed of love and the bright yellow of the sun constitute the basic colors of the room, which are applied to every detail.

The small sideboard is equipped with exquisite tea sets and cups, which are used to brew glutinous Pu 'er and rose tea produced by Huajiantang respectively.

among the tea drinks provided by the hotel for free, this is the best quality I have ever drunk, which can completely meet the requirements of daily drinking, and there is no need to bring your own tea. There is also a complimentary Coke Sprite in the small refrigerator under the sideboard, which is suitable for guests who like to drink soda ice.

There is a long desk in the room for two people to sit side by side.

There are simple and beautiful envelope stationery, colored pencils, post-it notes, retro desk lamps, bamboo trays and tissue boxes, as well as book manuals with detailed introductions of Tongli and Huajiantang, which are fully functional, neat and beautiful.

The washroom, bathroom and shower room are independent, and the bathroom products are also the independent brand of Huajiantang, with the same fragrance as L 'Occitane Verbena series, fresh and pleasant. The electric toilet in the bathroom is very intimate, which adds extra points to the happiness of staying in winter.

when night falls, the hotel will provide good night sweet soup and help yourself to it in the restaurant. On the night we checked in, we also presented good night milk and special snacks from the ancient town, and the service staff sent them directly to the guest room, which was a small surprise for those who came back from the night tour.

compared with guest rooms, the layout of the hotel lobby is more warm, beautiful and ingenious. It can be said that among the Huajiantang branches I have lived in, I like the feeling of Tongli store best-warmth, openness, friendliness and pet interaction.

when you walk all the way into the hall and drag your luggage, someone will offer you a cup of welcome tea.

when you check in, a staff member will pull you into the wechat group, and various service information will be posted in the group to remind you.

When you are tired and bored, you can come to the lobby at any time, sit on the sofa in the leisure area, go to the tea stand and make a pot of fragrant tea by yourself, or play with the manager Nono (a gentle golden retriever).

There is an old wooden piano by the wall. The afternoon sun shines obliquely through the flower window. The light and shadow are like flowing melodies, and it seems that the old days are singing.

Everything is just right, just like going back to my childhood in my dream. Grandma is playing the piano, the dog is taking a nap and the flowers and trees are growing. And your friends are waiting for you outside the door to play house.

Opposite the hotel lobby is the "Flower Room Collection", which sells all the beautiful things about the Flower Room.

pleasant aromatherapy, exquisite tea ware, glutinous Pu 'er, rose tea with honey, verbena-flavored toiletries, and even a small wooden comb given by the hotel can all be bought in this small shop, and guests can enjoy exclusive discounts.

The hotel's accommodation area consists of two areas: the ancient garden and Lize Girls' School. Guests can freely visit the campus of Lize Girls' School and experience the cultural activities in the teaching building.

the room we stayed in was in the ancient garden, and the small courtyard was elegant and exquisite, which had the charm of the back garden of a big family in ancient times.

In the afternoon, you can sit on the swing and watch the pingtan performance. The soft Soviet-style singing floated through the curtain of the gazebo, lingering in the ear and heart, and letting the thoughts pass through hundreds of years with the euphemistic singing.

If you want to visit Lize Girls' School, you must walk there. The campus of Lize Girls' School is the most beautiful scenery in Tongli Huajiantang. After watching dusk, I will still look forward to the early morning and stay for one night. I have to watch it at least twice before I feel sorry.

The school gate is a classic style of schools in the south of the Yangtze River during the Republic of China. After a hundred years of wind and frost, it is still exquisite, beautiful and imposing.

The style of the residential area and the campus is harmonious and unified. When the simple Chinese style meets the exquisite Republic of China style, the collision of Chinese and Western thoughts and the inheritance of ancient and modern cultures find a perfect fit here.

The outdoor wooden blackboard evokes all kinds of memories about the school days. A hundred years ago, girls in girls' schools may have bathed in the sun and listened to an open class that inspired wisdom; I also lined up neatly and sang patriotic songs under the leadership of the teacher. Four vigorous and powerful characters were written on the blackboard in front of me: Save the nation and survive!

The pavilion in front of the teaching building stands firm in the stormy weather.

The inscription was written by Mr. Qian Jibo, a master of Chinese studies, and was written by Ms. Wu Zhiying, a calligrapher and a close friend of Qiu Jin Woman. The sharp monument, like a sword drawn out of its sheath, tells the angry protests of teachers and students in girls' schools against treason.

A part of the open space on campus is used as a leisure area, where swings and tables and chairs are placed. Every morning and evening, the sun casts the most beautiful light, and old people and children, couples or lovers stroll in the garden and take a nap on the swings, which is a quiet picture of the years.

In another space, there are many potted plants neatly arranged, all of which are small and exquisite but full of vitality.

elegant and pleasant flowers and plants, childlike and lovely fleshy, all grow warmly and persistently in the sun, just like those girls in the depths of the years, chasing their brave dreams and a bright future in this campus with spring breeze and rain.

This beautiful picture reminds me of Xi Murong's poem-

In the morning, when you wake up on the campus of Lize Girls' School and see the clear sunlight shining on the plants in full of green, the 1-year-old red brick and gray tiles of the teaching building greet you with a smile. You can even imagine the girls running in the playground facing the morning sun.

in those days, earth-shattering changes were staged every day. The flames of war and smoke are surging. And this beautiful campus hidden in Jiangnan town, in the turbulent land, opened a window to look up at the starry sky for those fragile but brave girls.

In Lize Women's School, read the beauty of the times and experience a touch flowing from the depths of history. Let the feelings of teenagers and the dreams of youth return to your long-lost heart, always reminding you that your initial heart is like jade, so don't forget it.

This is the meaning of travel, and it is also the irreplaceable treasure of Lize Girls' School as a characteristic homestay.
