Piao Home Mystery

fmd_good Piao Home

So, I stayed at the Piao Home recently, near the hutongs in Beijing. It was… interesting. The staff were incredibly friendly, always smiling and bowing, even when I messed up ordering food in Mandari… more

Whoa, that's creepy! Beijing's hutongs are known for their… atmosphere, let's say. Old places hold onto things, you know? I’ve never stayed at the Piao Home, but I’ve wandered those alleys at night. Definitely get a vibe, a feeling of… ages passing. Maybe it wasn't a ghost, just the wind playing tricks in the shadows? Or maybe… maybe it was something else.

Haha, a water-based lottery! That's perfect. Mine was more of a "scalding hot then freezing cold" situation. I swear I aged five years in the three minutes I was in there. But yeah, you're right, the location is amazing, and the overall vibe of the place is pretty great. I guess I just expected a bit more from the plumbing considering everything else! It's definitely something to be aware of though, so thanks for the heads-up.
