The Immortal Siheyuan of Dongnanyi, this is the ultimate slow life experience

Staying at Dongnanyi Nianxia·Li Boutique Resort Hotel in Datong Ancient City this time was truly an aesthetic feast that transcends time and space! Beneath the blue bricks and gray tiles lies a minimalist modern soul. Spend the day exploring the ancient city soaking in the historical atmosphere, and at night return to the hotel to enjoy light luxury—who can resist this charming contrast~ 🏮【Prime Location in the Ancient City · Peace Amidst the Bustle】 • Perfect location! At No. 42 Lihuai Jiao Street, a 5-minute walk to Huayan Temple, 10 minutes to Daiwang Mansion, super convenient for strolling and eating • Renovated three-entry siheyuan, very quiet at night, completely free from the noise of the ancient city’s bar street • The concierge provides a hand-drawn map marking nearby hidden photo spots, even local favorite old brands with queues are noted 🎋【Design Enthusiasts’ Delight in the Details】 • Stunning the moment you open the door: the exterior is traditional northern Shanxi residence style, but inside is a high-end Muji vibe with automatic warm and cool lighting system • Rooms equipped with floor heating + smart toilets, bedding made of 60-count long-staple cotton, and down comforters so fluffy it feels like sleeping on clouds • The courtyard retains old stone doorstops as tea tables, paired with designer lazy sofas—perfect for shooting new Chinese style photos 🍜【Mornings Healed by Breakfast】 • Freshly simmered lamb offal noodle soup so delicious it’ll blow your mind, and authentic Baihua shumai dumplings • The concierge adjusts meal delivery based on your wake-up time, so even late risers can enjoy hot brunch • In the afternoon, savor Zhengshan Xiaozhong tea in the tea room, and at night enjoy red date and white fungus soup as a sweet bedtime treat 📸【Top Photo Spots Revealed】 1. Courtyard bamboo shadow wall: best light at 9 AM, wear plain long robes for silhouette shots 2. Skylight study room: props for calligraphy and painting are genuine antiques 3. Rooftop terrace: watch the ancient city’s cooking smoke rise at dusk, drone shots of the panorama allowed (with prior notice) 💡【Deep Travel Extras】 • The hotel can arrange for you to make copper rubbings with an intangible cultural heritage inheritor • An 8-minute walk away is a nearly private vegetarian temple restaurant; the concierge can help book a table • Every Wednesday old movie "Old Stories of the South City" is screened in the courtyard, paired with the unique feel of Xinghua Village Fenjiu liquor ⚠️【Practical Tips】 • Off-season prices start at just over 1,000 RMB for suites with private hot springs, but check floor heating status in winter • Ancient city’s stone slab roads are inconvenient for luggage; it’s recommended to contact the hotel for free pick-up service in advance • Be sure to try the sandalwood bath products in the bathroom, with packaging co-branded with Yungang Grottoes that’s stunningly beautiful
