very often, I heard of the school house and its harmonious connections with the local people. I mean Jim Spear & Liang Tang, the investor of the schoolhouse, but I’d rather say they are more like the local residents now. They keeps the simple life as usual, and develops the properties with the same idea. They believe the luxury is simplicity. Which I believe it as well. My friends/clients/travelers sometimes ask for arranging some activities or even some meal in the school house, actually, I’d really like to recommend this place when you want to goto the Great wall, or if you want to touch some eco farm. Hope they can find more locations and protect it following the sustainable development rules.
