Private baths, courtyard, tea room, terraces and gardens. Step by step through the old courtyard — sit a while, stay a while.
01 · SPRING WATER IN
Spring water piped in, one private pool per room. Warm in winter, cool in summer — soak at night under the stars, with only wind and water.
02 · A WORLD OF ONE’S OWN
Old timber, mossy stones, stone steps. The courtyard is small, but every old thing here remembers time. Morning dew, afternoon breeze, evening moon.
03 · BOILING WATER, LISTENING WIND
A seat by the window, water boiling, tea poured, quiet. Bamboo shadows move outside; tea smoke rises with the mountain mist.
04 · CLOUDS COME AND GO
The terrace reaches into the hills. Morning mist, evening glow and stars are regular guests; a lounger and a hot cup make an entire afternoon.
05 · SCENES OF FOUR SEASONS
New green in spring, cicadas in summer, osmanthus in autumn, snowlight in winter. Small, but the four seasons never miss.
06 · LIGHTS IN THE HILLS
At nightfall the courtyard glows with warm lamps; the hills fade to shadow and the river of stars is close. Away from city lights, you can finally see the real night.
