The Old Theatre Inn is a registered heritage property originally built as a theatre temple in 1782 and later used as a village school. In its renovated classrooms, it now offers five luxurious guestrooms with slate stone bathrooms, rain shower, down pillows, solar hot water radiant heated walls and antique tribal embroidery art. The Inn features a large courtyard around the theatre temple which is still in use as a traditional music performance stage. Guests can enjoy our local style meals prepared by staff from the village, dining in our upstairs restaurant (the Dancing Mule) or on our terrace with sweeping views overlooking the Shaxi Valley.Located in scenic Duan Village just 3km from Shaxi Old Town and steps to the Hei Hui River, the Old Theatre Inn is the perfect place from which to hike into the nearby mountains on dozens of trails. Around the Inn you will find quaint villages, endless emerald rice and barley fields and country roads that are perfect for walking or riding on our mountain bikes. The Old Theatre Inn employs only local people and follows strict sustainability practices, including not using any disposable products on the property. We are proud to be a TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Award winner for the past three years.
