Flowers Inn

To start with, Shaxi is such a precious jewel. The historic preservation collaboration between ETH and Chinese scholars and the locals is impressive. The harmony formed by the nature and the man-made environment is incredible. We wish we had more time to stay and dive deeper. And we absolutely loved our stay at the Flower Inn. It’s really close to the core of the town yet very quiet and peaceful. The garden is meticulously cared for. The most special is an impressive 2-story library housing the owners’ personal book collections. They recently opened the library to the community a few days a week - a generous way to share knowledge and wisdom, and bring the community closer together. The owners are very warm, interested in making friends and sharing their experience. I really enjoyed an evening chat with them and listening to the stories about the town’s history, preservation, local lifestyles and much more. We would love to come back to Shaxi in the future and stay at the Flower Inn again.

Very cosy and charming place to stay. The library is absolutely breathtaking. Equipment was is great condition, everything was clean. The host was really nice and well organized; she helped us all along our stay to navigate around the city and find a transportation to Dali. The hotel is conveniently located close to the center of the city. This stay was the highlight of our trip. The city is so beautiful and peaceful. Shibaoshan is really worth the trip (count half a day to really enjoy the trip). We regret not staying longer both in the hotel and the city.

一進房間就有很好聞的香薰味，有了很好的印象分。剛來的時候是對面的豆漿在門口迎接，後面兩天基本是金漸層跟藍白陪着在院子裏。後面從老闆娘姐姐口中得知名字，是幺幺跟寶寶。幺幺下午就睡在房間門口的躺椅上，寶寶喜歡在花園裡亂跑抓蝴蝶，後面發現幺幺會翻牆出去玩，會飛檐走壁，寶寶反而一直待在花園裡。花園很大，種了很多的多肉，還有一顆山楂樹，我很喜歡，長了很多的山楂果，厚着臉皮問阿姨摘了一顆，阿姨應該是老闆的母親，氣質很像，準備離開的時候還邀請我摘幾顆在路上吃。走之前吃上了老闆娘姐姐做的下午茶，麻薯果然很好吃。是我理想中的小院，有植物，有🌲，有🐟，有🐈，有很多的書。人生很長，希望我以後也能有屬於自己的小院。這兩年很浮躁，沙溪是為數不多能讓我感受到平靜的地方，也是得益於住了喜歡的房子。以後有機會的話，會再回來沙溪，回來這裏長住。下次再見，幺幺跟寶寶。

出發雲南前臨時調整了行程，去了劍川，在沙溪古鎮停留了三天，沒有做攻略隨心選擇了花舍裏。真不錯啊！我們本來訂了兩晚的歌德，又多住了一晚的莎士比亞，兩個房型各有特色。謝謝橙子老師的招待，小朋友還認識了同齡的小朋友。花舍裏的書房很大很大，上下兩層，據説有五萬本藏書，可惜沒有好好靜下心來閲讀。民宿距離寺登街非常近，靜中帶旺，出去吃吃喝喝也很方便的。沙溪古鎮很喜歡，有機會會再來。

本次旅行最大的驚喜就是升房。店家安排住的莎士比亞，太開心啦！原本是在麗江住兩天的，臨出發改了一天住沙溪。為自己的決定點贊！沙溪太舒服了。民宿沒在主街，安靜舒服，主人把院子打理的井井有條。光是坐在院子裏都是享受！

民宿在古城內，離停車場很近，出行方便，晚上安靜，老闆很熱情，免費升級了房間，還幫助付了停車費，推薦的吃飯的地方也很不錯，值得推薦！

非常不錯的民宿，環境好，住得舒服，還有一個二層樓的書館，看書的感覺非常棒，不輸那個網紅先鋒書店。

進門就是驚喜，曲徑通幽的小院，靜謐處蓬勃生長的花草，陽光下嬉戲親人的小貓…除了不同作家主題的房間，上下兩層的書館藏書量驚人，品味不羣。房間乾淨舒適，服務貼心周到，這家民宿確是古鎮停留幾日的好選擇～逛累了回到小宅，天晴時可曬着太陽，濃郁咖啡配着店家手作的健康茶點；落雨時不妨躲進小樓，窩在沙發裏翻閲閑書，擼貓發呆，來一次身心的充電～

遇見花舍裏是緣份。來沙溪5天，花舍裏就像我們千里之外另一個温馨的家。每天在這裏聊聊天、喝喝茶、讀讀書、擼擼貓…治癒又温馨。下次來沙溪，有情懷有温度的花舍裏還是我們的不二之選。
