Dongtou Village is located on the Botanical Garden Road of Donghu Scenic Area in Hongshan District, adjacent to Botanical Garden Park and bordering the East Lake area. From the geographical environment, there is only one east-west path in the village, and the buildings in the village are built on both sides of the path. The entrance to the village is on the road to the West Botanical Garden. The path extends from west to east to the shore of East Lake, and then turns south to Tuanshan Road, with a large span. On one side is the botanical garden scenic spot, and on the other side is the East Lake waters. Such a water-facing environment, with super-high green area, is very suitable for living.
Specifically, the entrance of Dongtou Village is obviously more convenient on Botanical Garden Road, which is also the main entrance of the village. Whether tourists drive or take the bus, they arrive at the station and then turn to the intersection of the village. Go straight to the end and you won't make any mistakes. The environmental style at the entrance to the village and along the road is in the same strain as the whole East Lake Scenic Area, with green vegetation everywhere, very quiet away from the city and no motor vehicle noise. The building at the entrance of the village faces left and right, and the entrance seems crowded, but when you walk in, you feel closer and have a sense of familiarity with the neighboring village.
From the entrance to the village, the first is the parking lot on both sides, which is convenient for parking. Two houses at the entrance of the village, two or three-story villas, face each other, and one of them has an open-air escalator, which is very chic. A small front hall was built in front of the house. At first glance, they are used for business. The doors and windows are open, billboards are hung, and the business atmosphere is strong. This kind of vestibule is most suitable for eating. Turn on the air conditioner and turn on the light. In the evening, a quiet atmosphere comes out.
Of course, Dongtou Village, as a folk village, is obviously more suitable for quiet expression. From the entrance of the village to the village, the cement path remains unchanged. Looking around, the houses are strewn at random and extend eastward. The distance between buildings is negligible. After all, it's just around the corner, and occasionally there are street trees. The potted plants planted downstairs have become common green vegetation. In the evening, street lamps are on, light and shadow are dancing, insects and birds are singing in nature, and rural tunes and songs are exposed.
There are many characteristic homestays in Dongtou Village, and there are homestays near the path. The building is not high, and it looks like only two or three floors. The first floor is a traditional gate, a steel courtyard, which looks full of metal wind, but in fact the real accommodation is on the second floor. The interior decoration is relatively simple, equivalent to the general hotel style, and it is more comfortable to live in. Relatively speaking, the exterior decoration of B&B is simple, painted white, fenced and decorated with street trees, which minimalists may like. To take a step back, the style of the hotel is the same, closer to the original ecological environment, quiet and full of life.
The artistic conception of Dongtou Village can be seen at any time except the living atmosphere at night, and you can also taste the characteristics of ultra-single homestay style. For example, the buildings inside feel very Japanese comic style. To put it simply, there are many houses in the village, and the terrain is high and low. Street trees and telephone poles are regularly distributed on the roadside. Standing on the only concrete road, I can see not only the houses on both sides, but also the sky with a small line in the distance. The road under the sun is still separate. There are few pedestrians on the road, and the colors everywhere are mainly white and green. The space under the embellishment is kind and infectious.
There are many such towns and villages in Japanese cartoons. Buildings in low-altitude villages, telephone poles and fences spread and shuttle with each other, and a grounded life can win scolding. In contrast, there are actually many villages of this style in China, but they are all in very remote places. It is rare that Dongtou Village is located in the core scenic spot of a megacity.
Although it is a homestay village, it is obvious that there are not only homestays in the village. In fact, similar villages are very rare in the city of Wuhan. With the continuous transformation of the main city and the far city, the city under the background of demolition has long been covered by steel forests. A scenic village like Dongtou Village, with its superior resources, is like a paradise. Low-rise residential buildings, ecological houses near the path construction, and livable places far away from the hustle and bustle of the city are well-deserved.
