Located in the mountains west of West Lake in a small village, the Banyan Art House is an intimate but very comfortable place with beautiful rooms, especially on the second floor. It is filled with many works of art, but I most enjoyed the series of small square paintings.throughout the common space. Lisa was super nice and helpful, and the waffle, fruit, egg and cucumber salad a great breakfast.
But of course, the special green tea grown in the surrounding mountains was plentiful and so good! The blooming lotus and other flowers in the small lakes across the street are a great place to do outdoor drawing and painting, so I will be back. I saw a beautiful, big white crane when admiring the landscape.
