During the New Year, I stayed at Nian'an Suli B&B, located next to the Goose Spring Scenic Area in Jingxi. The B&B is built by the water, and opening the door and window is like stepping into a traditional Chinese painting. The blue-tiled, white-walled houses of southern Guangxi contrast with the karst peaks and forests. Bougainvillea wraps around the old wooden window frames of the courtyard by the road, and the stone path leads to a pond of water lilies, as if I had entered Tao Yuanming's utopia. The B&B doesn't have many rooms, and the one I stayed in, "Daofeng," perfectly combines the wabi-sabi style with Zhuang elements. A bamboo lantern hangs from the wooden beam, and the Zhuang brocade-patterned pillow on the bed and the green rice fields outside the floor-to-ceiling window form a natural decorative painting. My favorite part is the viewing bathtub on the terrace. I soaked in a rose bath at dusk, watching the smoke from the farmhouse in the distance dance with the returning egrets, and all my fatigue disappeared. The book wall in the front hall is filled with Zhuang folklore books. On rainy days, I listened to the rain hitting the banana leaves, and on clear nights, I looked up at the Milky Way. A five-minute walk takes you to the ancient Goose Spring Bridge, where the reflection of the mountains and water in the morning and evening mist is breathtaking. The food at the B&B is particularly impressive, with the smell of firewood wafting from the open kitchen every day. The Zhuang sister uses freshly caught fish from the Goose Spring River to make a milky white soup, and the sour bamboo shoots stir-fried with field snails have a slightly spicy mountain flavor. The most unforgettable dish is the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves. The chicken, wrapped in wild spices, is steamed slowly, and when torn open, the juice and the fragrance of the lotus leaves burst out. The crispness of the sour papaya and pickled radish perfectly satisfies the craving for mountain living. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place where time stands still. It doesn't offer standardized hotel services, but the fragrance of the plants in the courtyard and the owner's handwritten travel guide bring the warmth of "home" into the mountains and water.
