Tonglu Historical Building B&B

1. What is the age of the ancient buildings in Fengchuan, Tonglu?

Tonglu is a county under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is located in the northwest of Zhejiang Province, in the middle reaches of the Qiantang River and the Fuchun River. It runs diagonally across the county.

Tonglu was built in the fourth year of Wu Huangwu in the Three Kingdoms (AD 225), and was promoted to the state capital in the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (AD 621). Tonglu has a long history and a rich collection of people, and is known as "a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and a graceful and civilized country". When Fan Zhongyan, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty, learned about Muzhou, he was impressed by the strange mountains and rivers of this land. He praised it as "Xiaosa Tonglu" and wrote the famous poem "Xiaosa Tonglu County·Ten Odes".

There are more than 60 historical buildings in Tonglu. The individual buildings and settlement forms are well preserved. Most of them were built in the middle and late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Most of them are three-plex houses and four-plex houses with similar courtyard combinations. Clumsy on the outside and showy on the inside, they generally pay attention to internal carvings and decorations, and have different themes. The evolution of the characteristics of these rural historical buildings in different periods is very clear. 2. Are there any better B&Bs around Tonglu?

Jinglu Lanzha

The hotel I booked on Yi B&B is the most comfortable B&B I have ever stayed in. It is very warm. An experience, I came to Tonglu with my friends. The Jinglu Hotel is located near a mountain. The air and environment are very good. As soon as the car arrived at the hotel entrance, the front desk steward came to greet us from a distance. He also helped us carry our luggage and told us to pay attention to the stairs. It is very rare. The weather in April was a bit sultry, but my mood instantly improved. The beautiful proprietress is super nice. It was a little rainy during the Qingming Festival. She even made ginger tea for us. It was warm and considerate. The proprietress made great coffee latte art. The farm food in the restaurant is particularly delicious, and there are also super Xiao Huang and Dasheng are two cute little ones who can make noises. I also like them very much! Without further ado, let’s go straight to the picture. 3. From the four core elements of B&B design, talk about how to build a B&B

On November 25, 2015, my country issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Lifestyle Industry and Promoting the Upgrading of the Consumption Structure". Promoted the legalization of homestays. Later, the "Several Opinions on Implementing New Development Concepts, Accelerating Agricultural Modernization and Achieving the Goal of Comprehensive Moderate Prosperity" and "Guiding Opinions on Promoting Green Consumption" were successively released, encouraging the vigorous development of leisure agriculture and rural tourism, and the planned development of leisure farms and rural hotels. , special homestays, self-driving camping, outdoor sports and other rural leisure and vacation products.

Although the design of B&Bs is different from previous hotels, and our country also strongly supports it in terms of policies, it still takes a lot of thought to make B&Bs good. So, how to do it so as not to be "off the street", and what are the core elements of its design?

Core element 1: Site selection

1. Extendable consumption level (stay)

Guarantee of stay time: Leisure and vacation-type tourist destinations are preferred (Tourists’ stay time is 1~2.5 days), as the location of the B&B;

2. Economic consumption power of the tourist source

Basic guarantee of the tourist source: no more than 2.5 miles away from developed urban agglomerations An hour's drive is appropriate, and the number of directly related annual tourists can reach more than 2 million, which is conducive to sustainable operations;

3. Climate and resource environment

Climate condition guarantee: consider the climate differences between the four seasons The influence of off-peak and peak seasons, humidity, extreme weather, etc. on architectural design;

4. Traffic accessibility

Site environment guarantee: line of sight, slope and aspect, accessibility Environmental conditions for experience activities, etc.

Core element 2: Naming

For B&Bs, names are part of marketing. The positioning of a B&B starts with a name. A good name can convey the theme, positioning, environment, temperament, scene, and selling point of the B&B, and reflect the resources and environment of the place, such as Guoyunshanju, Daoju Baisha, No. 5 Valley... At the same time, it can also convey the owner's mind and heart. Temperament, such as the Field of Bliss, Seclusion, Homestay, Flower Room Hall, etc.

1. There must be principles in naming.

Poetic names attract popularity; names that highlight the theme are easier to perceive; names with rich heritage have more sharing qualities; catchy names Conducive to communication and memory.

2. The theme should also be positioned when naming.

The location of the B&B determines the resources it can rely on, and also determines, to a certain extent, the theme and characteristics of the B&B, and its contribution to culture and natural resources. Ultimate expression and utilization are the basis for designing a lifestyle:

If the B&B is based on a sea of ??flowers, it can be designed based on the warm and romantic atmosphere of flowers;

If it is based on the countryside , we will focus on exploring the slow life experience of farmers;

If it is close to the snow-capped mountains, it can highlight the holy temperament and find the unique advantages of the plateau environment;

If it relies on ancient towns and ancient streets, it must be fully respected History, folk culture;

If you are in the mountains and forests, the emphasis is on integrating with the environment and experience;

Core element 3: architectural design

For B&Bs, architectural design requires feelings and even more logical thinking. Compared with traditional hotels, there are big differences in site selection, scale, architectural style, guest rooms, etc. Whether it is renovated or newly built, it is all to better extract the architectural language of history and humanity.

Architectural design is mainly divided into two types:

1. Renovation of old houses into B&Bs

Old houses are living history and culture, and B&B design should make them glow. New life brilliance and better inheritance of culture.

Strategies for renovation of B&Bs: retain the original cultural memory of the building to the maximum extent, and use local materials to make necessary repairs to the building

a. Add a wooden entrance awning to cover the building. It blocks wind and rain while highlighting the entrance of the B&B.

b. Repair the original dilapidated windows.

c. Use wood and thatch as materials to build a pavilion and design the gray space of the B&B to highlight the rural theme of the B&B.

d. Use local materials to pave sidewalks and roadside landscape sketches with local stones.

e. Use natural stones and green plants as landscape walls.

2. Newly built B&Bs

Newly built B&Bs do not mean abandoning local history and humanities, but to better refine the architectural language in history and humanities. Innovation is to better Good inheritance and development, although the building is newly built, its roots are deeply rooted in history and culture.

Strategies for newly built B&Bs: focus on reflecting local culture and use more local building materials to enrich the architectural style.

3. B&B material selection: Use materials that are highly integrated with nature to highlight ecological and cultural qualities.

4. Space:

The transitional space between indoors and outdoors is a key design of a B&B. Balconies, terraces and other spaces can well extend the scope of people’s activities from indoors to outdoors. , and even in some areas, the existing terrain or vegetation of the site can be cleverly designed to better integrate with the environment.

Core element 4: Details and environment design

Detail design: Pay attention to the detailed design of the B&B guest rooms, and the details make perfection possible;

External environment: Comfortable and pleasant courtyard Design, privacy, fun, storytelling;

Road paving should pay more attention to pedestrian experience;

The sign system should be combined with the theme features and environmental atmosphere; < /p>

B&Bs must be highly experiential, and it is difficult to sustain them simply by relying on feelings. It is a long process to put in the effort, time, and return on the investment cost to make a good homestay, but no matter what, I believe that after serious efforts, hard work, good promotion and marketing, the rewards will follow. . 4.
