Hidden away in a back alley of Daxu's old town is this super relaxed guesthouse within a small traditional house. Its three upstairs rooms are simple but spacious and feature stylish homely touches. It's run by a young couple, Christina and Feng, who can offer a heap of local tips on non-touristy places to visit and eat.

Feng, a chef by trade, can also cook up meals (per person ¥50). The place is tricky to find, so it's best to call ahead.
