Xuxi Xiaoyuan is located in Xupu village, Jinshan district. Once an abandoned waste collection station, it has been transformed into a popular rural destination. The renovation has not only improved the village environment but also boosted local tourism and cultural development. For city dwellers, it has become a tranquil retreat where they can escape the noise and experience the slow pace of rural life.

The courtyard features white walls and dark gray tiles, with a touch of minimalist design. Inside, wooden tables and chairs, dried flowers, and potted plants create a warm, serene atmosphere.
