Anji Travel｜The Backyard of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, Staying in a Dreamy Homestay

As the peak season approaches, I planned a trip to avoid the crowds. After browsing online, I finally chose Anji's: Hua Li · ARTINN Stream Trekking & Rafting · Starlight Pool Designer Homestay.

🚩｜Location: Dongjiatang Natural Village, Gaojiatang Village, Shanchuan Township, Anji
🚩｜1.5h 🚗 from Hangzhou, 2h 🚗 from Shanghai! Perfect for road trippers~

✅✅✅ Heartwarming Homestay Experience
🚗 The owner rushed out with an umbrella as soon as I parked, carefully taking my luggage and reminding me, "The steps are slippery." This thoughtful welcome made me feel at home from the first moment.

🏖 The room was a visual delight! Modern design with clean lines, a Morandi-toned sofa paired with geometric pendant lights, and a cozy bean bag by the floor-to-ceiling window—the perfect spot to enjoy the view. On sunny days, the lush mountains seemed to pour into the room; on rainy days, mist swirled along the window ledge. Even a casual silhouette shot looked like a movie still.

🐰 The courtyard was full of delightful surprises! Flowers bloomed along the stone path, and the owner's floppy-eared rabbit hopped around the wooden fence, its gray-white fur brushing against dandelions—utterly adorable. During afternoon tea, the hostess brought homemade lemon tea and snacks, served by the poolside. The curious rabbit kept sniffing around, making time feel soft and fuzzy.

🍜 Breakfast was as exquisite as art! Golden whole-wheat toast, a soft-boiled egg nestled among emerald greens, paired with freshly ground soy milk and bamboo shoot pickles. Even the clay bowl for porridge radiated handmade warmth.

😭 The most touching part was the owners' "magic responsiveness": when my child wanted to feed the rabbit, the hostess brought freshly washed carrots; when I needed rain boots to explore, the owner instantly found the right size from storage. Every request was met with genuine care, making me want to treasure this warmth forever~
