The Wuyuan Skywells is a Qing dynasty merchants house hidden in the rolling hills of the Wuyuan countryside. Hidden in the protected ancient village of yancun, the house avoided the madness of revolution, bulldozers and concrete which have typified the past 100 years - instead boasting fine woodcarving, stonecraft and 3 'skywells' (courtyards typical to these homes). Lovingly restored by a Chinese/ British family team and opened in spring 2017, we are spoilt with rolling views of the countryside, lush gardens, a cozy bar and light airy dining room. Our bedrooms all display art, newspapers, scrolls and artifacts we have recovered from inside the house, celebrating the stories of the many people who have lived in JinZhiChengTang (Jin family's hall of wisdom and success) before us.
