After choosing B&B as his entrepreneurial direction, 11 Residences founder Care Co., Ltd., who has traveled all over the countryside, naturally integrates his favorite "cottage culture" into B&B. At present, 11 Residences has 3 stores, all of which are selected from dilapidated houses in small villages, and the original ruins have been transformed into homestays with unique cultural flavors, showing the appearance of Bayu countryside to tourists from other places or cities.
In 2012, the care came to Anxin Village in Shuangzhai Mountain, Banan District, this village at an altitude of 1,140 meters above sea level is quiet and peaceful, and the ecological landscape remains intact, but the earthen houses in the village are on the verge of collapse. Under such conditions, it took more than 3 years to transform a long-abandoned compound in the village into a homestay, which not only retains the unified style of the ancient house, but also makes it closer to the needs of accommodation, which is the first store of 11 bedrooms.
In the spacious courtyard of Anxin Village, there is a tea room converted from a kitchen, and next to the retro-fashionable bar is a former farmer's pigsty. The thirteen earthen house rooms are decorated in a quaint style, with large beds, tatami mats, and traditional Chinese beds, and the rooms are equipped with air conditioning, but the temperature in the mountains is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is not too high. The 11 bedrooms are decorated with some details, such as the old-fashioned dressing table in the guest rooms, the tea table made of stone grinding and hand-woven tabletops, the lighting decoration of ploughing cow wood, and the table made of polished pigsty doors...... These objects from the owner's patient collection and meticulous creation make 11 Residences closer to the local life, and also pass on this simple emotional culture to guests, becoming part of the competitiveness of this B&B brand.
Despite being far from town, travelers staying here don't have to worry about food and drink. In the early morning, you can go to the regular market in the nearby village to buy affordable natural fruits and vegetables, and special products; For lunch and dinner, head to 11 Residences' own restaurant, where you can enjoy black pork, homemade pickles, and wood-fired rice. In the evening, you can also hold an open-air barbecue in the dam to dance around the bonfire and eat meat. In terms of taste, the food at 11 Residences is certainly not top-notch, but it has a strong rural atmosphere, which makes guests from afar feel the breath of nature.
The price of the 11-bedroom Anxin Village store is between 200 yuan and 300 yuan per night, including meals, which is at a low level among homestays in the suburbs of Chongqing. The brand also has two other stores, namely Liangfeng Village and Kingdee Lake store, although they are also under the banner of "Old Tuwu B&B", but their grades and prices have been improved to a certain extent. However, 11 Residences has not opened reservation services on major hotel platforms, and services such as positioning, consultation, and navigation need to be carried out by adding WeChat customer service, and its WeChat account is the same as its mobile phone number.
