Mansion from the Qing dynasty
Hidden between the city walls in the heart of the ancient walled city of Ping Yao is the intimate boutique hotel Jing's Residence. The property originally served as the store and home of a silk merchant during the Qing Dynasty and was renovated by renowned architect Antonia Orcha into today's atmospheric hotel. The characterfully decorated rooms are situated around a traditional courtyard, and decorative elements range from centuries-old carved wooden window frames to bamboo floors and rice paper ceilings. This is not just another hotel in China, this is a comfortable journey through a glorious past. Where the world can't find you....
