A Century-Old House Reborn: Jia & Tong Homestay
For two and a half years, we poured our hearts into rebuilding this century-old Dong ethnic fir wood stilt house from the ground up. We preserved its soul—the traditional mortise-tenon joints and gable textures—while weaving in modern comforts: reinforced concrete, brick walls, and advanced soundproofing technology. Farewell to the creaks of traditional wooden houses; here, serenity meets the wild. Every brick, tile, beam, and stone was handcrafted with devotion, embodying the artisan spirit and a perfect fusion of Dong heritage with contemporary comfort.
Our spaces breathe purity: rooms are crafted with solid wood and water-based eco-paint, where beige brick walls and exposed mountain bedrock become natural art. Though rebuilt with brick, each room honors Dong tradition with original fir wood finishes—every inch whispers the essence of nature.
Diverse Room Types await you at Jia & Tong:
- All feature king-size beds (2m wide); select rooms include indoor landscape-view bathtubs.
- Custom themes: honeymoon suites, girls' getaway rooms, and more.
- Rest deeply on ergonomic Simmons mattresses with 80-thread-count cotton satin bedding, paired with dual velvet and latex pillows.
- Modern ease: Jomoo smart bathrooms (5-second hot water, embedded showers, smart toilets), Midea central AC (room-controlled), and a laundry room (washers + dryers) for fresh gear after hikes.
Wake to mist-kissed mountains through floor-to-ceiling windows; stargaze from the rooftop terrace. Every room faces the "small bridge over flowing water"—where the Dong people live by the stream. Witness authentic "everyday human warmth": locals cooking, farming, and weaving life along the banks. The homestay itself tells stories through antique treasures and the narratives shared by our hosts.
The rebuilder of this house is its owner—and now your host. "Jia & Tong" carries the names of his two children, infusing this space with homecoming warmth. We embrace Long-term vision, hoping every guest finds in Dong Village, and at Jia & Tong, a true "return to one’s own home."
— Step outside to vibrant life; close the door to tranquil dreams.
