Slow Down and Live in the Poetry of Shaxi｜Changleli Inn

Changleli Inn is built in the traditional Bai architectural style of "three courtyards and one screen wall," blending pure Chinese aesthetics. With wooden beams, dark tiles, and walls adorned with calligraphy and paintings, it feels as if time has paused here, leaving only a poetic ambiance. Outside the courtyard, a Suzhou-style garden restaurant has been specially designed to let the morning light and drowsiness coexist harmoniously. The inn is located in the ancient Changle Village of Shaxi Old Town, just a 5-minute drive from the town center. It offers on-site parking, making it convenient for self-driving guests with free parking available. During the day, you can explore the old caravan trails in the ancient town, and by evening, return to the courtyard for a cup of tea, a book, or simply gaze at the distant mountains, letting the moonlight climb onto the wooden lattice windows. Ink, brush, paper, and inkstone quietly await on the desk in your room. When your mind calms, your fingers might itch to write. Pick up the brush and let your thoughts flow with the fragrance of ink. The water in the rooms is sourced from the deepest part of the pristine forest behind the mountain. It filters through layers of rock crevices, emerging cool and sweet, safe for direct drinking. It’s even better for brewing tea, making the tea exceptionally pure and refreshing. Life in Shaxi is slow—listening to the wind, writing, watching the rain, brewing tea, living among the greenery, and accompanied by the fragrance of ink. At Changleli, time is not wasted but rather distilled into something meaningful.
