[2025 Yixing Hotels] Travel Guide for Rest Villa (Updated Jul)

Nestled deep in the mountains of Yixing, "Qiexi·Shanli" is a treasure guesthouse that feels like a dream escape for city dwellers! Surrounded by a sea of bamboo, the guesthouse is located in a serene valley. Open the door, and you're greeted by lush greenery, with the air filled with the subtle aroma of tea and earthy scents, instantly washing away all fatigue. The most impressive feature is the guesthouse's design: it retains the traditional structure of old houses with green tiles and wooden beams, while seamlessly incorporating modern minimalist aesthetics. Each room boasts large floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing guests to gaze at misty mountain peaks right from their beds. Mornings begin with the chirping of birds, and opening the window reveals a misty mountain view, making you feel as if you've stepped into a fairyland. The owner personally grows organic fruits and vegetables and harvests wild mountain mushrooms, paired with local Yixing tea leaves, creating a feast of rustic mountain flavors for every meal. Highly recommended is the rooftop terrace at dusk, where you can watch the sunset turn the bamboo sea golden. At night, you can gaze at a sky full of stars, experiencing an unparalleled sense of closeness to nature that makes it hard to leave. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle, this is undoubtedly the perfect haven for your soul!

Last weekend, I returned to Yixing and chose Qiexi·Shanli, a homestay nestled by the Bamboo Sea at the foot of Taihua Mountain, as my getaway destination. Driving along the mountain road through the bamboo forest to reach the homestay, the owner and the front desk staff were already waiting for me. They warmly took my luggage, helped me check in, and gave me a tour of the entire space. The homestay isn’t large, with only nine rooms in total. Most of the space is dedicated to expanding the communal areas, enhancing the depth and richness of the vacation experience. Before entering, you pass through an ascending pathway that separates you from the hustle and bustle. As dusk fell, the tube lights along the path cast a stunning trail of circular light, creating a mesmerizing effect. The homestay’s infinity pool offers a breathtaking view of the bamboo forest, with lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. The hosts provide a barbecue grill by the pool, where guests can DIY American-style grilled meats. Next to the communal lawn, there are two activity spaces: "Kitchen Space" and "Tea Space," where guests can participate in handicraft activities or enjoy tea by the stove. Further inside, more private areas include an open-air soaking pool, a cozy reading nook, and an open campsite where you can set up a canopy. The guest rooms are equally refined, featuring smart home systems with adjustable lighting modes. The bathroom area is designed with a dry-wet separation layout, equipped with a smart toilet and small toiletries. The beds come with a choice of soft or firm pillows, and the projection screen is crystal clear. The rooms also include a complimentary first-round mini-bar, and all room types come with a private soaking pool and an outdoor courtyard or balcony. The next morning, after an early breakfast, it’s a great idea to stroll through the bamboo forest along the mountain path, listen to the chirping of birds and insects, and breathe in the fresh air. Alternatively, you can follow the stream to its source and unwind in nature.

One warm afternoon, my boyfriend and I drove to Taihua Village in southern Yixing, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and surrounded by green bamboo forests. Our destination was Qiexi Shanli Homestay, a place that makes you want to stay forever. 🌸 Private Hot Springs: A warm haven in winter In winter, the private hot springs in the homestay are a must. The private hot springs here have a unique design and are divided into two types: "Jian" and "Shi." "Jian" are suites with private courtyards, while "Shi" are more suitable for families. The rooms are equipped with real fireplaces, so you can sit around and chat by the fire in the evening, which is very special. 🌿 Surrounded by nature, every breath is fresh The homestay is located on a hillside, surrounded by bamboo forests, and the air is filled with the fragrance of nature. Every morning when you wake up, you can open the window and see green everywhere. Take a deep breath of fresh air, and it feels like your soul has been purified. 🍽️ Exquisite food, a treat for your taste buds The dining in the homestay is also a highlight not to be missed. Breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and there is a wide selection for lunch and dinner, which need to be booked in advance. The ingredients are fresh and the taste is authentic. Both the elderly and children can find their favorite dishes, which are unforgettable. 🚗 Explore the surrounding area and discover more surprises Staying at Qiexi Shanli Homestay, you can not only enjoy the comfort of the homestay, but also explore many interesting places in the surrounding area. Taihua Mountain, which is only 1.7 km away from the homestay, is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts; while Yixing Bamboo Sea and Yaohu Town, which are a little further away, are good places to experience local culture and natural scenery. Whether you are looking for a quiet walk or an adventurous exploration, this place can meet your needs. I hope this guide will help friends who are planning to travel to Yixing to choose Qiexi Shanli Homestay as your base and make this trip an unforgettable memory.
