A white rectangular frame, whether sitting, standing, or lying down, freeze yourself and the star-studded Xianhu Island, and send it to a better future self! 3⃣️The little flying house with colorful balloons.

About accommodation🏠 Before the trip, I found a newly opened homestay, Shanju Qiuming, which is very close to the scenic area, about a 5-minute drive. The style of the homestay is the new Chinese and wild luxury wabi-sabi resort style that I recently like, each room has an independent small courtyard, quiet and tranquil. Some rooms can even take a hot spring bath in winter, which sounds very comfortable. 🏠: Shanju Qiuming Homestay 📍: Next to the Village Committee of Gaoshan Village, Wangying Town, Yangxin County, Huangshi City, Hubei Province Precautions: 1⃣️You can choose to return the same way when going down the mountain, but you will miss the joy of the shouting spring and the beauty of the bamboo forest. 2⃣️Friends who bring drones should act according to their abilities, as the wind speed on the mountain is high, fly cautiously!
