Step into Fengmao Thatched Cottage, and you'll be transported back to Hangzhou's Republican era. Designed by renowned writer Yu Dafu himself, this rustic yet elegant residence with gray bricks and tiles exudes scholarly charm. Stroll through the courtyard where literary masterpieces like 'Intoxicating Spring Nights' were born, and marvel at original manuscripts in the study. More than a pilgrimage site for book lovers, it's a rare window into 1920s Hangzhou's intellectual life that still whispers stories between its walls.
