In terms of quantity and quality, Wuhan urban homestays are significantly better than those in the suburbs, while Dongli Old House is a rare boutique homestay in the suburbs.

The name of the old house in the east fence originates from the poem "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain", which means a quiet place outside the world. Located on the shore of Liangzi Lake and adjacent to the Zhuyanghai Wetland Park, the old house of Dongli sits on the countryside scenery, and the leisure activities are very idyllic, which really lives up to its name.

Wetlands and lakes surround the old houses in Dongli, the air is extremely fresh, the lake surface is rippling, and the lake shore is pink and willow green, like a landscape painting. The B&B is surrounded by greenery and fruit trees, and the view is lush and pleasant. Whether you're sitting by the lake watching the sunrise and sunset, or lying on your back on the grass and watching the stars, it's all very relaxing. The leisure activities of Dongli Old House go far beyond the view, it has set up an organic vegetable picking area, a fruit forest area, a farming experience area, and an outdoor development area. With peach picking in summer and grain harvest in autumn, fishing and swimming and outdoor games available, residents can experience many aspects of rural life and enjoy a very different kind of fun from urban activities.

The B&B buildings are all wooden structures, and more than 30 cottages are scattered in the meadow, separated by vines and bamboo hedges. The rooms vary in size, with the Rammed Earth Cottage having the highest occupancy rate. It has a circular shape with a thatched roof and an interior similar to that of a yurt.
