Don’t squeeze into hotels when visiting Qinhu! This lakeside homestay is amazing, with reed views right outside the window and wetlands just steps away. Even staying two nights feels too short. Perfect for family trips, friends, or family vacations~
🌿【A Little Comfort Sleeping by the Wetlands】
The rooms have no flashy designs, just cozy water-town vibes! The lake view room was a wonderful surprise, with a large floor-to-ceiling window facing a Qinhu tributary. Woke up to birdsong in the morning, and opening the curtains revealed egrets skimming the water; the courtyard room is more private, with rattan chairs and a tea table in the small yard. Sunbathing and sipping local green tea in the afternoon is ten times more comfortable than squeezing through crowded scenic spots~
The family room is thoughtful too, with a small bed for kids, picture books, and toys. Kids happily stay inside without fussing to go out, so parents can finally relax~
🍲【Homestay Owner’s Signature Dishes, So Fresh You’ll Lick the Plate】
No need to hunt for restaurants! The homestay auntie’s Qinhu dishes are legendary! Freshly cooked silverfish steamed egg in the morning is tender and fresh, and kids can eat a big bowl; for dinner, order a small portion of Qinhu’s Eight Fresh Delicacies—crab, fish cakes, shrimp balls—all prepared fresh that day. It’s incredibly fresh and affordable. Eating in the lakeside dining room with reeds swaying in the dusk outside creates the perfect atmosphere~
📍【Hidden Perks of Staying Here】
- Only an 8-minute walk to the main entrance of Qinhu Wetland, no need to get up early to catch a bus, so you can sleep in and explore at ease
- The owner provides free wetland travel guides and can help book a rowboat, saving you a lot of hassle
- At night, you can borrow a small night lamp from the homestay to stroll along the lakeside path, listening to the soothing sounds of insects
If you want to experience the slow-paced water town life in Taizhou, this homestay is definitely the right choice! Not the same old hotel experience, but all the comfort of home and the wild charm of the wetlands~
