Have you ever dreamed of a secluded life, like "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, while others gaze upon the southern mountains"?

Time used to be slow, filled with the clamor of traffic and the expressiveness of emails, so slow that a lifetime of loving only one person was possible. Have you ever read this poem or heard the song titled "The Past Was Slow"? Life's pace is so fast that even our bodies and minds struggle to adapt. But deep in Mogan Mountain, at a small B&B also called "The Past Was Slow," you can rediscover the slower pace of time.
After entering Moganshan, you will lose the impatience and anxiety brought from the city. Mountains, fields and houses suddenly appear, giving you a feeling of returning to nature. From the balcony of the B&B, you can enjoy the sunset in the afternoon and the blue and yellow sky in the evening. In the slightly drunk and hazy night, you can also fall into a deep sleep amid the chirping of insects from somewhere.
Admire the early morning dawn and watch the sun slowly rise among the distant mountains. The scenery in your eyes will gradually become brighter and clearer. Mogan Mountain and the B&B in the early morning are less noisy than the city with cars and dust, and more natural with birds singing and wind singing.
Here, you don’t have to worry about being bored at all. You can sit in the only bookstore here - "The Lonely Bookstore", with a cup of "Mogan Huangya" fragrant tea beside you, and read a good book carefully. In the lazy afternoon, there are not too many thoughts affecting your brain, and you will not feel lonely at all.

This place is steeped in the rich history of the Grand Canal and imbued with elements of Hangzhou's local culture.

At night, under a shimmering starry sky, I drift off to sleep with the canal nearby, feeling a slight intoxication and the warmth of romantic joy. I feel the passage of time conveying fond memories of the past and a passionate anticipation for the future.

While the summer sun blazes down relentlessly, a gentle breeze blows through the tranquil bamboo forest. It's like scooping up a handful of mountain spring water, flowing through the verdant bamboo, and then sprinkling it on your face. A refreshing pleasure washes over you from head to toe. Located here, the Tudor Secret Garden B&B transports you from the chivalrous atmosphere of the bamboo forest to the days of 15th-century England.
Sitting in the lobby, decorated with European-style fabrics and leather furniture, with the afternoon sun shining on the wooden floor, a cup of coffee or tea can make the hot days mild and soothing. On sunny days, you can also enjoy the spacious Dahuangping or the starry sky room, which is a unique feature of the B&B.
In August, look up at the starry sky at night, let the night time and the river of stars above your head slowly flow to the other end of time, and you will fall asleep with quiet dreams in the gentle caress of the mountain breeze.
