Staying in a Picture-Perfect Courtyard House

During my exploration of the ancient city of Datong, I unexpectedly discovered a hidden gem near Huayan Temple—Qiuguo Courtyard Hotel! This boutique hotel blends Beijing hutong style with Shanxi merchant elements, where every corner looks like a scene straight out of a historical drama 🏮 🏡 Aesthetic Overload in Courtyard Style • Blue bricks, gray tiles, and red lanterns frame a courtyard adorned with pomegranate trees and stone vats. Listening to rain pattering on the corridor roof is pure magic~ • Must-capture spots: the moon gate framing upturned eaves, the lantern-lit west wing corridor at dusk, and geometric light patterns cast by window lattices in guest rooms 📍 Prime Central Location • 15-minute walk to Huayan Temple, 15 minutes to Drum Tower, with the Great Mosque and Nine-Dragon Wall within 1 km • Late-night perk: Sipailou BBQ around the corner stays open until dawn [Grin] Their lamb skewers paired with sea buckthorn juice are to die for 🛏️ Time-Travel Accommodation • Our east wing room featured a divine combo of rosewood furniture and smart toilets 📸 Ancient City Photo Route 7:30 Morning mist at Shanhua Temple → 09:00 Breakfast food styling at hotel → 15:00 Qingyuan Gate city wall → 17:00 Vermilion walls of Daiwangfu Mansion → 20:00 Night photography at hotel
