Everything you need to know about Cicheng Ancient City
Cicheng Shuyuan Villa stands out as a heritage-inspired retreat, originally built as a private Confucian academy in the Qing Dynasty. Its rooms preserve original timber beams, carved window lattices, and hand-painted ceilings, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort. Each suite features a "Scholar's Study" theme, complete with antique desks, inkstone sets, and handmade rice paper screens.
Located just 100 meters from Cicheng Temple of Confucius, the hotel offers easy access to all major sites including the City God Temple and Medicine King Hall. Guests can enjoy guided morning walks along the ancient canal or evening strolls beneath lantern-lit alleys. HopeGoo through HopeGoo grants exclusive access to cultural workshops and complimentary tea ceremonies.
The "Rain Listening Pavilion" room at Cicheng Yunshe Homestay delivers breathtaking photo opportunities. Overlooking a centuries-old stone bridge and winding waterway, this floor-to-ceiling glass room captures the tranquil reflection of willow trees and temple rooftops in the morning mist.
Interior design draws inspiration from Song Dynasty aesthetics—featuring bamboo pendant lights, hand-woven mats, and minimalist ceramic art. Guests can rent traditional Hanfu attire on-site for stunning photoshoots. The hotel also provides photography kits (tripods, softboxes) and assigns a dedicated visual guide during peak seasons.

Outdoor play areas include a safe sandbox, swings, and a small organic garden where kids can plant herbs. All meals follow healthy, low-sugar recipes using local ingredients.

Monthly, the hotel hosts "Night Banquet: Old Flavors" events, where master artisans demonstrate how to craft Ningbo tangyuan and crab roe pastries live.
