Zhigu 1984 is located in Chongming Island, the "back garden of Shanghai", and is one of the benchmark homestays on the island. In 2014, Liu Qing, the founder of the downtown area for a long time, remodeled the old house with his childhood memories to create a homestay full of nostalgia. As soon as it was launched, Zhigu caused a sensation in the local area, and once became a sample of rural old house renovation, and Liu Qing himself became the initiator of the Chongming Homestay Association.
In order to preserve the memories of the old times to the greatest extent, the host did not choose to tear down the old house and rebuild it in a time-saving and labor-saving way, but renovated the old house in an exquisite way, while preserving the original taste of the old house while taking into account the needs of modern people for residential comfort and taste.
There is a Tai Chi sculpture at the gate of "Zhigu 1984" to welcome guests, this sculpture is a unique piece tailored for Zhigu 1984 by the well-known sculptor Ms. Xie Aige, aiming to convey the life attitude of the homeowner "life is like Tai Chi". The interior of the B&B uses transparent glass and floor-to-ceiling windows to replace the original doors and windows, opening up the sense of isolation between indoor and outdoor, with better lighting during the day and light in the house at night to the courtyard, which is more quiet. The most distinctive feature is the wooden pavilion in the courtyard, which can usually be used as an accord for tea sipping and games, and after the floor of the pavilion is raised, it becomes an outdoor small swimming pool, which is very cleverly designed.
The structure of Zhigu B&B is similar to that of the loft, divided into two floors, the first floor is a public area, equipped with a kitchen and dining room, the kitchen facilities are very complete, and guests who want to take care of the food themselves can also show their skills here; There is also a barbecue station in the courtyard, so guests can enjoy a barbecue with friends. The B&B is open to the public with 6 rooms, and the rooms are named Zhili, Zhiyi, Zhiren, Zhixin, Zhijian, and Zhirang. The design of the 6 rooms is different, but the style is generally the same, the decoration of the wooden table and the wooden floor makes the room simple and bright, and the plants at the bedside, various knick-knacks and handicrafts make the guests experience the warmth and beauty of slow life in the details.
In terms of the practical equipment of the rooms, Zhigu B&B is also very satisfying, in addition to the basic smart TV, bathtub and bath amenities, each room is equipped with carefully selected fragrant tea. The price of a single night at Zhigu 1984 B&B is 780 yuan, and the price of the room will fluctuate on holidays, so it is recommended to book on the official website. There are two well-known tourist attractions on Chongming Island, Dongping National Forest Park and Xisha Wetland Park, but the B&B is far away from the two scenic spots, so it is recommended to drive there.
