Escaping the city hustle and bustle for the weekend, I found a 'free and easy' courtyard, adjusting life back to my preferred rhythm. Pushing open the window revealed a wide river and distant mountains. Sitting on a rattan chair on the balcony, feeling the breeze and watching the clouds drift by – this is exactly what a weekend should be like.
The biggest surprise was the farmhouse cuisine here: fish head with tofu, braised pork with dried bamboo shoots, potato pancakes, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables with that amazing 'wok hei' (breath of the wok). Paired with the exquisite and rich nine-grid breakfast, both my stomach and heart felt completely healed.
The proprietress was incredibly welcoming, even inviting me for tea and a chat after dinner. It was truly comfortable and delightful.
Staying in this courtyard with white walls and dark tiles, it was the ultimate 'slow living' vacation, leaving me feeling completely refreshed and satisfied.
