Overlooking Weishan Ancient City
Nestled in the ancient town, perfected in design
MinYue Cottage · Designer Garden Homestay
Located in the heart of Weishan Ancient City, it is about a 2-minute walk from Gongchen Tower. The rooftop view terrace faces Gongchen Tower directly, offering a panoramic vista of the ancient city’s grey tiles and distant mountains. Like a scroll painting slowly unfurling, this garden homestay weaves together historical heritage and modern aesthetics. It carries on the gentle rhythm of “the stories of a small town” and embodies the time where mortal warmth and poetic charm coexist within this “living ancient city”.
## Enclosed Courtyard, Scenery All Year Round
Adopting an enclosed layout, the courtyard keeps the bustling town life outside and serene tranquility within. Step through the gate and discover a hidden paradise: blooming magnolias and fluttering ginkgo leaves paint poetic scenes for every season.
## Versatile Common Areas, Balancing Activity and Quiet
It features a café, tea room, library, gym, table tennis room, view terrace and more. Spacious leisure zones are ideal for family and friends to gather and chat. Sip tea in the courtyard or gaze afar from the terrace, where layered grey tiled roofs form picturesque scenery, perfect for capturing atmospheric photos of the ancient city.
The themed guest rooms are fitted with custom high-performance soundproof doors and windows, premium-brand mattresses and smart toilets. Every detail is carefully refined to create a peaceful, soft living space, granting guests restful and relaxing sleep.
## Heart of the Ancient City, Scenery at Your Doorstep
Stroll along bluestone ancient streets, listen to the ethereal Dongjing classical music. You may also experience intangible heritage crafts including plant tie-dye, tile cat ornaments, Jiamma woodblock prints and handmade incense.

## Taste of Weishan, Just Steps Away

"My family and I enjoyed the stay in this lovely cosy accommodation.
It is perfectly located at a few steps from the entrance of the old town, making it easy to transfer luggage from taxi. There are several nice restaurants around which were our favourite there.
The rooms are spaced and reasonably designed. There is a laundry which is super convenient. The environment is quiet with a beautiful covered courtyard.
The owners are friendly and Carey. They were attended to all our needs. Strongly recommended."
