Restored Ming-Qing Academy | Heritage Manor Retreat
【Our Story: Where History Meets Luxury】
Step into a living piece of history. Originally a private academy dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, this property has been reborn through a 3-year, multi-million RMB restoration. Adhering strictly to the principle of "restoring the old as the old," we have preserved the soul of Huizhou architecture—majestic horse-head walls, intricate wood carvings, and tranquil bluestone courtyards. Recognized as a protected cultural heritage inn, we seamlessly blend 200 years of scholarly elegance with the plush comfort of a resort.

"The service is really attentive ❤️. Before staying at the hotel, the housekeeper will come in advance and add WeChat to set up a WeChat service group, inform the location, and come to greet you. When delivering, he also gave you a souvenir handmade in the store. The children and elders all enjoyed their stay. We could see the starry sky in our room at night. The children were very surprised and kept asking if they could continue to stay here tomorrow? ! The room is consistent with the picture of the reservation. The special mountain spring water and welcome dinner in the store are very considerate. The breakfast is also 10 kinds of which are very balanced and rich. The welcome dog Wangzai is very cute. He greets and sees off guests, and the overall impression is wonderful. Very good impression. I will stay here again next time I come to Hongcun."
