The Story of Xianglinsu
Staying in Xiangzhazi
Sleeping by the Water in the Woods
In Xiangzhazi Village, Changshaoying, Huairou, north of the Beijing-Chengde Expressway, more than a hundred families have lived together with the mountains, forests and lakes here for generations. The "Xianglinsu" B&B, which also settled here, got its name from this: staying in Xiangzhazi and sleeping by the water in the woods. Xianglinsu, located in Xiangzhazi Village, is part of the Zhenglan Banner (Zhenglan Banner) cultural village within Changshaoying Manchu Township's "Eight Banners of the Manchu" cultural village. The owner, a B&B owner with over a decade of experience in the catering industry, said, "After years of working abroad, as I age, I've longed to return to a simple, rustic rural life, enjoying the human touch of life with more friends."
Company team-building, family gatherings, and friends' parties
Eight room types offer a uniquely Manchu experience

All the furniture and decorations you'll see have been carefully selected from across the country, each designed to showcase the most refined and authentic Manchu-style experience.
