Nestled between clear waters and green mountains, this resort has leisure places such as an open-air swimming pool, a bamboo forest book house and a small pasture.

 

In addition, a variety of vegetables are grown around it, which can provide guests with a variety of fresh ingredients.

 

The owner of the resort is Chen Bibo, an overseas Chinese businessman from Chenzhou City, who has been in Singapore, Thailand, Macao and other places for more than 20 years, mainly operating homestay inns, travel agencies, etc. After working hard for many years, he was more eager to go back home.  

 

 

In 2022, Beihu District of Chenzhou City implemented the action of “Transforming Old Houses”, which means turning old houses into new formats such as homestay inns, catering, cultural creativity, and rural e-commerce. 

 

Chen Bibo responded quickly after learning the news, intending to engage in the tourism industry he is good at to help the development of his hometown. By chance, he knew Tashui Village.

 

In the 1960s and 1970s, the villagers of Tashui Village, who originally lived on the mountainside, moved down one after another and built rows of village houses. 

 

With the continuous advancement of urbanization, a large number of villagers went out to work, and these houses gradually became “hollow houses”.

 

Chen Bibo used more than 60 houses to build a homestay inn. During the design and decoration, he improved the lighting, ventilation, sound insulation and warmth of the houses. 

 

He said that the homestay inn was built in two phases. In the first phase, more than 40 vacant old houses were renovated, which were put into trial operation in May this year.

 

In the second phase, more than 20 other old houses will be used as a cultural creativity and study tour base to make rural culture alive.
