"Staying at The Humble, How to Explore Xiyuan Temple"

"Staying at The Humble🍃, How to Explore Xiyuan Temple" The bell of Xiyuan Temple🎋 rang six times, and only then did I wake up from the bed at The Humble hotel. The bell originally came from the neighboring temple, ringing softly every morning and evening, never annoying but like a natural alarm clock, waking people from worldly dreams. At six in the morning, the cats of Xiyuan Temple wake up even earlier than the worshippers. They either squat under the yellow walls, perch on the windowsills of the scripture pavilion, or even swagger and lie across the cushions in front of the Buddha hall—as if they were the true owners of this over 500-year-old ancient temple. Before the incense is lit and the Buddhist chants begin, the cats are already awake, licking their paws and washing their faces in the morning light, proudly seeming to say, "This temple is my home, come quickly to pay homage." 🌟 I came to Suzhou to stay at the Houju Courtyard Design Hotel with a trial mindset, but I was amazed everywhere. 🏡 Hotel Highlights at a Glance 1️⃣ Excellent location: 15 minutes on foot to Xiyuan Temple 2️⃣ Unique design concept: Crafted by a renowned designer, perfectly blending Suzhou-style courtyards with modern minimalism 3️⃣ Meticulous service: 24-hour butler service offering personalized Suzhou travel advice 4️⃣ Rich cultural experiences: Regularly hosts themed events for festivals and more I even experienced making zongzi and lacquer fans during the Dragon Boat Festival and Children's Day [Clap] 🏆 Why is it considered top-tier? ✅ A detail lover’s paradise: From custom pajamas to bespoke fragrances, every detail reflects Suzhou’s exquisite style ✅ Strong cultural immersion: More than just accommodation, it’s a showcase of Suzhou’s lifestyle ✅ Excellent value: At the same quality, prices are only half of those at international luxury chain hotels ✅ Personalized service: The butler can provide free travel guides for you 🌟 Xiyuan Temple【Quick Guide】 1️⃣ Cat petting guide: The Xiyuan Temple cats gather mainly around the release pond, backyard, and tea house.
