The hotel is located at the southern foot of Ziyang Mountain, on the banks of the Xin’an River, to the south of the 5A-rated Huizhou Ancient City (She County) – one of China’s four great ancient cities. It sits adjacent to the “Yuliang Dam,” often hailed as the “Dujiangyan of Jiangnan,” and stands on the very birthplace of Hui culture and the Huizhou merchant tradition. The character Hui (徽) itself signifies beauty. This site is not only where the renowned Confucian scholar Zhu Xi once delivered his lectures, but also a historic place praised by the great poet Li Bai as an immortal dwelling.Designed by a team of award‑winning architects from the German Red Dot Design Awards, and brought to life by hundreds of master craftsmen specializing in Huizhou‑style architecture, the hotel complex spans 12,000 square metres and represents the largest Huizhou‑style garden hotel ensemble in She County. Embracing the aesthetic principles of Huizhou architecture and the classic “Four Waters Converging to the Central Courtyard” layout, the property integrates modern smart‑home systems into its scenic guest rooms, all offering tranquil views of Huizhou’s mountains and waters. Surrounded by interconnected courtyards with whitewashed walls and black tiled roofs, guests can fully immerse themselves in the timeless beauty of traditional Hui culture. The hotel’s greenery coverage reaches 60%.Phase I features four distinctive Huizhou‑style courtyards – Yuliang Yard, Ziyang Yard, Misty Rain Yard, and Wenjin Yard – along with a smart‑home system, meeting rooms, a river‑view restaurant, a chess and card room, a river‑view gym, a riverside swimming pool, a tea house, a Hui Culture Exhibition Hall, an outdoor lawn, and riverside leisure zones. Nestled among mountains and rivers, the hotel restores the authentic essence of a holiday retreat – replacing clamour with nature, soothing the soul with serenity, and creating a spiritual sanctuary amid the landscape. Guests can immerse themselves in the rich Hui cultural atmosphere, enjoy hands‑on Huizhou intangible‑heritage experiences, and receive attentive, personalised butler service – all while being enveloped in the graceful charm of Jiangnan.
"I stumbled upon this newly opened hotel this year, and it looked great with a reasonable price, so I decided to book it. To my surprise, the stay exceeded my expectations!
The hotel's design is beautiful throughout. Whether it's rainy or sunny, day or night, every corner offers a picturesque view. It's brimming with design aesthetics, artistic flair, and a sense of luxury. Every small item and decoration is thoughtfully chosen, making every photo-op stunning.
The room's amenities and supplies are also excellent. Both the sofa and bed are incredibly comfortable. On a rainy day, it was incredibly cozy to curl up in the room, drink tea, read a book, and listen to the rain. When the weather is good, you can explore the hotel grounds or visit nearby attractions; there are quite a few within a 30-minute drive.
The staff are warm and attentive, providing thoughtful service without being intrusive – just the right balance.
The food at the hotel restaurant is also delicious.
Most importantly, since it just opened, the room rates are very favorable right now, offering incredible value for money. I've stayed at other hotels nearby, and their facilities and service don't compare, yet they cost much more. This hotel is truly a king of value!"
