In the iterative wave of hot spring travel, there is a kind of existence is particularly moving, but also particularly easy to be forgotten-the old hot spring home stay. They bear the traces of decades of years, hide the most authentic fireworks in the ground, and guard a natural spring that has been precipitated by time. However, they are often trapped in the predicament of peeling walls, aging facilities, outdated furnishings and rigid layout. Their aesthetic solidification is out of touch with the present, and they are gradually submerged by the same newly-built residential accommodation and become "abandoned by time.

The aesthetic rebirth of the old hot spring hostel has never been a fragmented transformation of overthrow reconstruction, nor a trend of blindly following the trend. Instead, it has injected modern aesthetic concepts and contemporary life needs on the basis of facing up to the old pain points, retaining the original details of the hostel, and continuing the healing core of hot springs, so that the "old foundation" collides with the "new color value" and the warmth precipitated by the years blends with the simplicity of contemporary design, let the dilapidated old space glow with new vitality-not only to keep the unique charm given by time, but also to catch the current people's leisure needs for relaxation and aesthetics, and get out of the dilemma of "old is backward.

1. Keep the texture of old buildings and hide the traces of time.
The building of the old hot spring B & B itself is not only the art left by time, but also the best aesthetic carrier. There is no need to deliberately polish off the mottled peeling of the wall surface, the old texture of wooden beams and the years of blue bricks. These old traces are precisely the unique charm that distinguishes them from the newly-built residential accommodation and are the soul of the "old.
The core of the transformation is to "repair" rather than "cover up", so that the old texture and modern aesthetics coexist. During the renovation, priority should be given to retaining the main structure, door and window outline and courtyard pattern of the original building to avoid the loss of charm caused by excessive demolition and modification, and at the same time to repair the old and damaged problems. For example, the peeling earth wall does not need to be completely painted, but can be partially repaired and the original mottled feeling can be preserved. With simple wood trim strips, it can not only solve the damage pain points, but also keep the time warm and moist. Loose and aging wooden windows can be replaced with environmentally friendly materials with sound insulation and heat insulation, but the original style and carvings are strictly retained, allowing light and shadow to project the outline of time indoors through the window lattice; the withered old trees, damaged old stone tables and abandoned old wells in the courtyard can be trimmed, repaired and taken care of again. With simple native green plants, the atmosphere of "one scene at a time, one scene at a time" is created, allowing residents to touch the traces of the old residential accommodation in the light and shadow circulation.
2. Activate natural hot springs and keep the healing taste
The soul of the old hot spring homestay is the natural hot spring. Aesthetic transformation is to make the healing feeling of hot springs and aesthetic experience deeply integrated, rather than simply pursuing the magnificence of the bubble pool.
There is no need to over-"modify" the quality of the hot spring, focusing on the old repair, layout optimization and scene creation of the bubble pool. Many bubble pools in old hot spring hostels have the problems of tile falling off, insufficient anti-skid, dim lighting and messy layout. During the renovation, these basic pain points should be repaired first, and then the natural form of the original bubble pool should be retained-for example, the open-air old bubble pool built according to the mountain, the private old bubble pool hidden among vegetation in the courtyard, and the simple stone and wooden fences should be matched to make the bubble pool blend with the natural environment and old buildings, let the residents in the bubble spring, can look up to see the starry sky, bow down to meet the vegetation, immerse the warmth of the hot spring and the quiet of the old home stay. At the same time, optimize the detailed design of the bubble pool, such as adding anti-skid trails, simple rest seats, soft lighting, and taking into account both practicality and aesthetics, so that the bubble pool is not only a way of health preservation, but also an immersive aesthetic experience, Let the old bubble pool glow with new vitality.
3. Integrate into the local culture and continue the atmosphere of fireworks.
Old hot spring homestay is often rooted in the local, carrying the local folk culture, living habits. The rebirth of aesthetics is to integrate this local culture into every detail of the transformation, let the homestay become the "carrier" of the local culture, and let the residents feel the local fireworks in their leisure.
For example, local intangible cultural heritage skills, folk elements and characteristic materials can be integrated into indoor soft decoration and space decoration. If it is an old hot spring hostel in Shan Ye, it can be matched with local bamboo and rattan ornaments, and local handicrafts and folk paintings can be placed. If it is an old hot spring hostel in an ancient town, it can incorporate elements such as green bricks, black tiles, wood carvings, etc., and match the local traditional furniture to restore the local life scene; A small cultural exhibition area can also be set up in the hostel to display local old objects and local objects and folk materials so that allow residents to spare time, understand the local cultural heritage, feel the local fireworks warmth.

The aesthetics pursued by contemporary people is the beauty of "simplicity but not simplicity. The indoor renovation of the old hot spring hostel can abandon the original cumbersome and messy decoration, adopt the design of simple style, log style and Zen style, mainly leave blank, with a small amount of textured ornaments, to create a clean, comfortable and stylish space.
For example, the renovation of guest rooms focuses on solving the pain points of "dim, crowded and backward facilities" in old hostels. Light-colored walls are used to brighten the space, with log furniture, cotton and linen soft clothes and soft lights to create a quiet and comfortable atmosphere, so that residents can relieve fatigue and rest at ease.

2. Soft outfit collocation
Soft clothing is the "finishing touch" of the aesthetic upgrading of the old hot spring hostel. There is no need to pursue gorgeous decoration. The focus is on texture and details, so that each piece of soft clothing can blend with the details of the old hostel, and at the same time convey the simplicity and delicacy of modern aesthetics.
You can choose soft clothes made of natural materials, such as logs, cotton and linen, stone and ceramics. The warm texture of these materials is highly compatible with the flavor of the old home stay. For example, the bedding of the guest room can be made of cotton and linen, which is soft and comfortable, with simple embroidery patterns, and is not complicated but has details. Simple ceramic vases, dried flowers, or local handicrafts can be placed on the desktop to add space style. Curtains can be made of semi-transparent cotton and linen, allowing natural light and shadow to enter the room softly, creating a gentle and quiet atmosphere, allowing residents to feel the natural atmosphere indoors.

The aesthetic rebirth of old hot spring B & B has never been the choice of "either or", but the symbiosis of old charm and modern aesthetics, the integration of traditional heritage and contemporary needs. It keeps the healing flavor of the old hot springs, the texture of the old buildings, the fireworks on the ground, and repairs the old defects. It injects the simplicity and refinement of modern aesthetics and the convenience and comfort of contemporary life, rejuvenating the silent old hostel and becoming the most warm and recognizable existence in the hot spring tour.
Nowadays, more and more people are tired of the same new B & B, and begin to pursue the old B & B with temperature, story and aesthetic sense.
