On March 29, 2024, recently, the much-talked-about Nansha Huangge "Qile Rongrong" new village demonstration belt ushered in the first homestay trial operation! The old building covering an area of 1,200 square meters was empty for a long time, until Cao Jinwen, a young man born in the 85s, rented this old building and completed the "explosion reform" this year, turning it into a "happy nest" integrating homestays, coffee and billiards. "I am looking forward to the launch of the new rural demonstration belt more than 20 kilometers long, bringing domestic and foreign tourists to experience the Qilin culture of Huangge, enjoy the unique atmosphere here, and live in the new homestay converted from the original central market. ”

The B&B is called "Xichao" and is located in Huangge Ancient Street, which is full of "crossing".
"Xichao" is on the Qilong Road of Huangge Town, this road has the oldest Tianhou Temple in the town, and is facing the Huangge Ancient Street of the ancestral hall of the monuments on both sides, after the ancestors of the Huangge moved here to settle down eight hundred years ago, it has multiplied so far, and it is endless. Therefore, on this ancient street, there are ancient ancestral halls, the Red House of Dongli, a building of the Republic of China, a supply and marketing cooperative, a arcade with Russian style, and new houses of residents with different styles. On this road full of "crossing", the emergence of "Xichao" allows people to find a temporary sustenance point here, absorb cultural nutrients, and nourish their souls.

In the street signs, find the "Joy Nest", pass through a corridor surrounded by a yellow circular light band, and go up to the second floor to see a fragrant osmanthus tree "growing" in the middle of the second floor, dividing the space into two, one side is a café and a billiard room, and the other side is a chess and card room. In the afternoon, the young people of the town meet up, drink coffee and chat on the street windowsill, and play a game of snooker and a board game when they are tired of chatting.

Walking up to the third floor, a 30-meter-long "Book of Heaven" hovers through two floors from the roof of the fourth floor, and the "Book of Heaven" is full of ancient poems loved by the host. A sentence of ancient poetry makes people understand that no matter what kind of story and mood, they have been experienced and recorded by the ancients, and the same feelings and experiences can be connected through poetry, and thousands of years of time seem to exist in this space. Around the two pine trees of the "Book of Heaven" and the "Patio", 12 guest rooms are surrounded by each other. Pushing open the door, the industrial-style walls, comfortable beds, and exquisite tea sets form an atmospheric space atmosphere, so that the fatigue before arriving at the room is soothed.
The rooftop on the fourth floor is an open space with swings and long tables overlooking the skyline, with mountain views and buildings connecting to each other.

The boss moved his family to Nansha and found that Nansha was full of future
"To tell the truth, in the past half a month of our trial operation, more than eighty percent of the guests are business guests who come for business trips and meetings, not the group of tourists we originally envisioned. Cao Jinwen introduced his first "unexpected discovery", they originally designed to hand out wet towels and black tea when tourists checked in, recommend some beautiful food routes when asking tourists about their plans and preferences, and provide some maps and mosquito repellent water during play, which are not useful most of the time. This made Cao Jinwen a little "discouraged": "The difference between B&B and hotel lies in the non-modular rooms and services, if the guests are interested, they can explore some details and surprises on the hard and soft decoration, and they can also chat with the manager and staff, and they can also drink coffee with local young people here, which is more humane and can be more 'immersive' in the local 'immersive' travel." ”
This is not Cao Jinwen's first homestay, they have already opened a well-known homestay in the industry around Zhaoqing Qixingyan. "The flavor of the Yellow Pavilion and the Seven Star Rock is completely different, so the concept of construction and operation is also different. I don't want to replicate my experience anymore. ”

In 2018, Cao Jinwen came to Huangge, and after some thought, he rented the old building for a long time, originally thinking of reopening the town center market, but the rise of the community supermarket made the market not as popular as expected. After three years of the impact of the epidemic, Cao Jinwen decided to do what he knows and likes, so since last year, he has invested nearly 8 million yuan to "renovate" the old building that is more than 30 years old. "This is more expensive than building a new building, because the previous building had a lot of load-bearing columns, the space was irregular, and the steel bars in each column had different degrees of aging and rust, and we had to peel them off, start with the steel bars to remove the rust, and finally repair them layer by layer, redesign, and renovate them. ”
This year, Cao Jinwen also moved his investment company to Nansha, and his family also settled in Nansha with him. "Nansha is a city full of future and can give young people a lot of room for development. For example, we are in Huangge Town, where we are under construction, the 'Qile Rongrong' new village demonstration belt, I think the concept of the demonstration belt is advanced, the business logic is good, I am honored to be able to participate in it, in addition to this homestay, I also plan to apply for a larger scale of new homestay projects, fully support the construction of the demonstration belt. ”
