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 was great and the family was very kind. The garden, rooms and buildings were beautiful and very charming. The B&B dog was very cute and well behaved. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to explore the B&B and pet the dog as much as we wanted, since we spend most time at the nearby attractions! Both lunch, dinner and breakfast was great and the menu seemed to include a lot of delicious traditional Anhui cuisine. We had the stinky fish and braised chicken for dinner and it was absolutely amazing and interesting to try a different Chinese kitchen. We had a great stay and we would definitely recommend staying here!"
