The name of the store comes from Li Bai's famous sentence: Where is the return journey? Long pavilions are shorter pavilions. Located on the bank of the Temple of Heaven, this 7-room B&B converted from the Post and Telecommunications Office has a good occupancy rate and reputation on Airbnb.
In her opinion, the best scenery of Beijing is not in the Forbidden City, nor is it Nanluoguxiang, but "the famous Hutong 3006, the nameless Hutong Race Niu Mao", the story and human feelings of old Beijing are in these twists and turns.
The reception desk at the entrance of the Temple of Heaven store follows the counter of the original post and telecommunications office, and the plaque of "Long Pavilion and Short Pavilion" inscribed by artist Hong Yuan is hung on the wall. Iris likens the long and short pavilions to the Tongfu Inn in Wulin Gaiden, hoping to give guests who travel around a habitat full of laughter. Around the corner is the comprehensive activity area, which takes into account the functions of the living room, dining room, screening hall and other functions, and from time to time there will be some floral and baking activities. The owner, Iris, bakes some biscuits every day to share with his guests, and those who like coffee can order a cup of freshly ground espresso.
The interior is decorated in a Scandinavian style, with occasional soft furnishings with traditional Chinese elements, and an open kitchen with a double-door refrigerator and basic kitchenware. The long and short pavilions are far away from the pedestrian street and the business district, there is no probe for tourists here, and there is no "old Beijing specialty" peddling, and the real Beijingers live a leisurely life here. Iris has a travel brochure for each guest, which describes the well-known attractions, as well as a number of lesser-known but high-quality art galleries, coffee shops and dessert shops.
The guest rooms are equipped with Samsung combination locks, which are safe and beautiful. Each room has a different layout depending on the room type, but the color choices are bright and bright. White linens, colourful ornaments and fashion magazines on the table make the room a balance between hotel and home. The walls of the bathing area are made of white tiles with warm light sources, which makes the whole space look bright and tidy, and Kohler's shower heads and toiletries imported from Japan enhance the sense of quality.
The room rate for a single night at the Temple of Heaven is between 370 and 430 yuan, which is a conscience among many homestays in Beijing. In addition, the long pavilion and the short pavilion also won a European-style white single-family villa in Shichahai, there are only three suites inside, one floor and one household, the decoration style is bright and atmospheric, and the price is naturally much higher than the Temple of Heaven store, the price of a single suite is between 900 and 1100 yuan per night, and the price of the whole villa is about 3000 yuan per night.
