At the Foot of Jiuhua Mountain, Relaxing Amidst the Scenery

Winding up the path from the mountain's base, every inch of Jiuhua Mountain exudes the charm of nature. For this trip, I chose a secluded retreat nestled in the mountains and waters—Lianxili Homestay, a sanctuary for the soul and the perfect starting point to explore the mystical allure of Jiuhua Mountain. 🌲🚶‍♂️ 🏡 A Cozy Nest in the Forest 🌿 Stepping into Lianxili Homestay, I was instantly captivated by its unique ambiance. The rooms are designed with simplicity yet warmth, featuring spacious beds (1.5-1.8-2 meters) so comfortable you won’t want to leave. The oversized bathtub’s hot water seems to wash away all the fatigue from the journey. With a north-south layout and multiple windows, the fresh mountain air flows freely indoors. Every morning, drawing back the curtains reveals a dynamic ink-wash painting of mountain views outside, leaving you utterly mesmerized. 🌄 🏊‍♀️ A Refreshing Summer at the Viral Pool 🌞 One of Lianxili Homestay’s highlights is its viral swimming pool. The crystal-clear water, set against the blue sky and white clouds, creates the coolest summer memories. Whether you’re an adult or a child, there’s fun to be had here. In the afternoon, floating in the pool while gazing at the sky, with occasional birdsong in the background, time seems to slow down. 🏖️ 🍽️ A Feast for the Taste Buds 🍜 The homestay’s dining is another standout feature. From healthy whole-grain breakfasts to local specialty dishes for dinner, every meal is a tantalizing delight. The handmade Huizhou hairy tofu, crispy on the outside and tender inside, paired with a special chili sauce, is an absolute must-try. Each meal feels like a mini food festival. 🌶️ 🏞️ Exploring the Natural Beauty Nearby 🌳 Staying at Lianxili Homestay offers the joy of discovering the surrounding natural wonders. A short walk takes you to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Statue Scenic Area, where you can immerse yourself in profound Buddhist culture. Don’t miss the nearby Jiuhua Mountain Long-Distance Bus Station and Huatai Passenger Station, gateways to even more hidden gems. Every journey here is a new adventure. 🧳
