To me the place has a kind of magic .Unique and Beautiful in every aspect. There I was offered exactly what I was in need of which was inspiration and tranquillity to write. It was a perfect stay and I was provided with flawless service . A huge 'thank you' goes to the owner for all his precious help . I will treasure the memory of my stay in Pure Land and I truly hope to be able to return some day to spend more time in this place of unique beauty and magical aura.

Very calm location in a old village near Tai hu lake and host family’s hospitality would be unforgettable for long time.

Very close to the lake and local facilities. The owner was super polite and helped us with covid testing trips. The owner was kind to show us sunset locations and gave us free lifts in his car to some of the local sight seeing attractions. We were very well accommodated in our vacation.

This stunning home feels like a family home - and you’re treated like a family member for the entire trip! Picked up from the local car park which is a VERY short walk away along a cute little canal. You enter a private garden into this lovely location. The rooms are decorated to a tasteful standard wit good bedding, massive windows to let in lots of day long light and very lovely bathrooms (excellent water pressure and my room had a bath). Breakfast was either Chinese or a Western style of eggs and toast with good coffee. The village is tiny, authentic and walkable with the ancient town on the hotels doorsteps. There are tonnes of eateries and most share a common or similar menu - all locally produced. Finally, the host -Mr Jin- willingly drove me to the islands hospital so I could do a Covid test. He volunteered this service helping me every step of the way. A true gentleman with excellent English and a good conversationalist to boot - you won’t regret staying here at all!!

簡園主人胥先生，為人親切溫和，對跟我去的孫子很好。 我們一到，立即切盤西瓜來消暑。明月灣古村的村民也非常親切，真是圓滿假期。

都非常满意。特别满意的是庭院的风景，特别欣赏的是房东夫妇的品味，一切都恰到好处，给人非常舒服自在的感觉。庭院里有一棵玉兰树、一棵槭树，一棵枇杷树、一棵枣树和一棵石榴树，院墙外有两棵银杏树，还有正在开的紫藤花。四季次第开花结果，皆是风景。房间阳台上可以看到远处的太湖和近处错落的粉墙黛瓦，白天可以在阳台上喝茶晒太阳，晚上则赏月观星。第一次任性地没有提前预订住处，怀着随遇而安的心思，没有想到就遇到这么理想的住处，很有意味。

It was easy to communicate with the owners before arriving at the hotel (both in Chinese and English). The owner was very friendly. Picked us up at the village parking lot and (after checking out) drove us to a trail head (10 minutes drive). This location is a great starting point for one or more days of hiking. The hotel was very clear, which is very uncommon in China. Chinese breakfast was delicious. Hotel is very quiet.

This is probably the most beautiful guest house I have ever stayed at. It is immaculate and tasteful. The owners are so friendly and it feels like you are staying in their home. I have only the highest praise for this guest house. It is in the most beautiful village and right next to the lake. Everyone is friendly and the scenery is breathtaking.

Ei pääse autolla, pitää soittaa hotelliin ja matka hotelliin oli erikoinen pieni tie, meillä oli matkapolkypyörät mukanamme joten pääsimme pyöräilemään saarella. Todella mukava hotelli ja isäntäpari aivan ihania. Aamiaisen voi valita ja valitsemamme eurooppalainen oli hyvä valinta meille. Puutarha oli myös kaunis.
