啡粋咖啡

It is a coffee shop located next to a century-old house in Jianshui Ancient Town! It is about five minutes' walk from Chaoyang Tower. The shop is full of green gardens and a pond of fish. The blue bricks and black tiles are on one side of the wooden ladder, and the glazed glass and wooden door frame are matched in a unique style. There is a quiet atmosphere of the old house and the literary temperament of modern coffee. When you walk in, you will feel the unconscious whispers and relax. It is very photogenic even if you take a casual photo. With the unique rooftop coffee seat, it is highly recommended. There are many flavors of coffee in the shop, and the coffee machine used is also a set of hot moms, which is quite invested! As for hand brewing, I don’t drink it much, so I didn’t order it, but the regular latte is not bad. White water can be taken at the bar, and the waiting time for coffee is determined by the flow of people, but in such a cozy place, waiting for a cup of coffee is also enjoyable.

I didn't have much fun taking photos at the Yuanyang Rice Terraces the other day, but I did have some unexpected discoveries in Jianshui. [The text then abruptly shifts topics.] [The text then abruptly shifts topics.] [The text then abruptly shifts topics.] I only had one day planned, but I should have stayed longer to fully appreciate the vibrant life of these quaint streets. Jianshui has a high-speed rail station, not far from Kunming, making transportation very convenient. I stayed at Wangyungui B&B that day, a Chinese-style B&B renovated from a medical clinic. There's a parking lot right next to the B&B. The housekeepers are very friendly and will help with luggage. If you're arriving by high-speed rail, the B&B also offers shuttle service by appointment. The B&B is very close to the main street, Lin'an Street, yet very quiet. Lin'an Street boasts numerous purple pottery shops, with more shops than on Zitao Street. When visiting Yunnan, I recommend trying Yunnan coffee beans. They have a unique flavor. I went to Feiqi Coffee on the first day and OAN Coffee on the second. The coffee was delicious. ⭕️You can try the Jianshui specialty, the large-plate tofu, but I found it just average. ⭕️You must see the sunset over Shuanglong Bridge 🌇; it's beautiful and bustling. ⭕️Jianshui also has a French-built train station 🚉, but the ride takes ⏰four hours, which I personally find a bit time-consuming. ⭕️I also had two hotpots 🍲: soy milk chicken 🐔 and mushroom hotpot. The Dayan wild mushroom hotpot 🍲 is highly recommended ❗️❗️❗️

This place is arguably the pinnacle of coffee shops in the ancient city! Tucked away in a small alley next to Zhu Family Garden, the entrance is unassuming, but once inside, you'll discover a whole new world. The century-old house's carved wooden eaves, accented by stained glass windows, exude an elegant and classic atmosphere. The first-floor courtyard features a winding path through a flowing bridge. The second-floor terrace is even more stunning! You can literally touch the undulating eaves! Taking photos from the stairs or looking down is truly stunning! Everyone in the shop was snapping photos. Their coffee is also made with great care. The "Whipped Coconut Milk Latte" has a rim of shredded coconut, which is quite refreshing. The "Dutch Iced Chocolate Coffee" has ice cubes made from frozen coffee, so it doesn't get watered down as you drink it. The milk and chocolate are added yourself, but I found it a bit too sweet. Friendly reminder: The stairs are very steep, so please be careful when taking photos. 🏠 菲粋咖啡 📍 Shop No. 49, Shuyuan Street #SpringFlowerViewingPhotos #WeekendWhereToGo #CityHumanitiesNotes #NicheDiscovery #AncientTownsAndVillagesWorthVisiting

Enjoying coffee in the slow-paced Jianshui Ancient City is truly enjoyable! ☕️ Life here is slow-paced and not too crowded, perfect for a relaxing getaway. 🕶️ This café, nestled between a century-old house and a Chinese-style courtyard, has a unique charm! The courtyard is two stories high, and the second floor offers a breathtaking view of the rooftop tiles, making it quite comfortable. The stairs are narrow, though, so be careful when ascending! Next door to the café is their Zhuyexuan Inn, but it's only for guests, so we could only enjoy a brief moment from the café's side. It's quite charming. ⭕️Dutch Iced Chocolate Coffee DIY, it feels so ceremonial! Adjust to your taste. ⭕️Apple Cinnamon Tea Quite rich, with a pleasant apple aroma. Slightly sweet. But it only comes in seven servings, which is a bit odd 🤔 ⭕️Brownies There aren't many dessert options, only two. The chocolate flavor we chose wasn't very strong. The experience was just average. ☕️ | Feiqi Coffee 📍 | Shop No. 49, Shuyuan Street #CoffeeTravel #ExploreAncientHouses,CentralCourtyards,AncientTowns #YunnanTravel #AdmireAncientCityHistoricalArchitecture #RelaxingPlace
