"So comfortable, such beautiful scenery! I was amazed by this hotel nestled in the mountains. The hotel's design style perfectly matches my aesthetic – simple and elegant, with every detail arranged to my liking. It's incredibly welcoming for tea lovers. The owners primarily deal in tea, and the hotel is just a side business, so you can't go wrong with the tea you buy. I heard this mountain is called He Kai, the world's largest ancient tea garden, surrounded by ancient tea trees. The hotel is encircled by tea forests, and in summer you can even see a sea of clouds! Spring tea season is almost here, so tea enthusiasts can come back in a little over a month to experience tea picking and processing. Amazing! I'll definitely come back next time!"
