A
Many of you may know of the tourist crowded Lijiang in Southwest China's Yunnan Province.But few of you may have heard of Shuanglang Village.With poetic scenery and tranquil(宁静的)guesthouses,the small fishing village has become a favorite escape from urban living.For over a thousand years,the local Bai Minority people here made their living by fishing in the lake.But the past 10 years have brought in a change to life.
The small tranquil village is now popular with visitors looking to relax and enjoy a slower tempo(节奏).The weather here always seems perfect,making it a great retreat(静居所)any time of the year.It is also home to some of the most romantic guesthouses in China.Baxun is the head of the village and the owner of the first guesthouse here.He said,“A guesthouse is not a hotel.It's much more personal.The decoration varies in different guesthouses.Each and every one of them represents the owner's unique style.” There are more than 120 guesthouses now,offering much choice for a comfortable stay.Most face the Erhai Lake and have decks providing breathtaking views.A tourist said,“I like staying here.It feels like home.” And many tourists really do make this their another home.Xiaoyun and her husband came to Shuanglang in 2009 from Beijing,and fell in love with the quiet village right away.The couple later quit their jobs to set up their own guesthouse here.
As with everywhere in China,change is coming to Shuanglang.It is hard not to notice that there are several new guesthouses being built.The new bar and restaurant area will certainly change the mood of the village.But hopefully it will be a few years before this hidden treasure becomes a mini Lijiang.
