The living room of the Peony Room is equipped with antique furniture and pictures, whereas there are rafters, big beams, and wooden floor in the living room of White Dandelion Room. Daffodil Room and Apricot Flower Room also boast of traditional rafters and beams. Since Daffodil Room and Red Clay Room are small, they share kitchen and bathroom, and the rates are more affordable.
