Suzhou Xishan Island! Lakeside Cottage! Beautiful to the next level

Slow life paradise! Discover a secluded cottage by Taihu Lake in Suzhou🍃 Healed by this lakeside homestay! Hidden on Suzhou Xishan Island, Shan·Jin Homestay is like a "Little Mediterranean" version of the Jiangnan water town~ The homestay is surrounded by the lake on three sides and backed by a mountain on one side. Open the window to see the sparkling Taihu Lake. My favorite spot is their viewing platform—brew a pot of Biluochun tea and watch the sunset dye the lake golden. This is the right way to enjoy slow life in Suzhou🌅 The room’s floor-to-ceiling window faces the lake, and the bathtub is right by the window, so you can soak while taking in the beautiful Taihu scenery—love this design! The homestay also has a huge lawn yard, perfect for barbecues and picnics. Pet owners will definitely fall in love with this place. 📍Location: No. 6, Daqiu Alley, Shigong Road, Jinting Town, Suzhou ✨Highlights: - 270° lake view rooms - Excellent privacy - Pet-friendly - Great barbecue area - Close to attractions like Linwudong and Piaomiao Peak Tips: It’s recommended to drive here; the Taihu scenery along the way is super healing Book lake view rooms in advance; they’re very popular in peak season Remember to bring a jacket; there’s a big temperature difference by the lake in the morning and evening Staying in such a lakeside cottage makes time feel gentle~ The slow life in Jiangnan is truly so beautiful💕
