The Garden of Forking Paths, Yixian is located in Pancun, Guanlu, Yixian County, Huangshan City. Together with the ancient city of Yixian (a national historical and cultural city), the world cultural heritage sites Xidi and Hongcun, and the traditional Chinese villages of Tachuan, Bishan, Pingshan, Nanping, and others, it weaves the most classic constellation of ancient Huizhou villages. Following a winding path through a hundred mu of rice paddies, at the fork of the path stand six buildings and courtyards reconstructed on ruins; they are of different eras and contrasting styles yet wonderfully combined. The name "The Garden of Forking Paths" is taken from Borges' novel of the same name, which is the literary expression of such a scene. Guest rooms are distributed among the various courtyards, offering views of mountains, fields, or gardens. At the center stands the Boyatang · Borges Library, with its structure of bundled columns and stacked beams—a design独创 by the architect. Around it are the Zaoshu Restaurant, converted from a cattle shed; a swimming pool built amidst ruins, the only one of its kind in China; and the Pancun Shop, which gathers local goodies from neighbors. On the periphery are the Luye Starry Camp and Luye Pond. With the outlines of mountains and the lines of the fields, against the simple backdrop of nature, Eastern and Western, ancient and modern architectural cultures interweave here, making it a veritable museum of architecture in the rice fields. The Garden of Forking Paths represents a breakthrough in design boundaries: centered on the philosophical concept of "crossing, converging, and blending," it uses the rural landscape of ancient Huizhou as its canvas to paint a picture that extends through profound time and space—this is its aesthetic pursuit. It is not simply a homestay or hotel; instead, it pulses with the gentle heartbeat of ancient Huizhou villages, following the rhythm of the natural seasons to reclaim the inner order that people have lost, creating a life scene that harmonizes with nature and returns to farming and reading, restoring a genuine and simple pastoral dwelling. This is not a scene that any designer can design, but a place where you, after much searching, finally arrive to find yourself at peace—The Garden of Forking Paths: living in seclusion in the wilderness, living a simple life alongside the rice seedlings.
«週六準備去碧山玩,其實並沒有提前訂酒店,看了幾個酒店,準備現場來定。早晨醒的早,突然刷到這家店還有一個採摘園,於是趕緊聯繫,一直想找一個既可以農家樂,又可以住宿的地方玩,這家店似乎很符合預期,果斷定下……
酒店確實還是蠻超出預期的,首先主動給升了房,然後餐飲口味不錯,在酒店吃了兩頓正餐,一頓早飯,都是可圈可點;公區做的很用心,能感受到很有自己的特色以及質感;房間確實不大,有的是老宅的限制,也有是設計上的缺失,房間不大就導致房間除了床,沒有沙發或者椅子可以坐着休息。
另外大家的服務意識也很好,每個人都感覺很用心。小朋友突然發燒,會主動説幫忙熬小米粥,非常感謝。
當然,也有點小缺憾,就是贈送的下午茶,稍微有點拉垮,咖啡一般般,水果部分讓人大跌眼鏡……
再説一下拙野農場,地方很大,小徑的客人可以免門票,另外會送兩杯飲品或者兑換水果。如果可以採摘應季蔬菜,再跟酒店的餐飲部打通,那就更完美了。»
