Anji Kaichen·Xixinlu - A Rammed Earth Aesthetic Homestay by the Bamboo Forest Stream

"Those who soar high like kites find their restless hearts calmed by the mountain peaks; those entangled in worldly affairs forget to return when gazing into the valleys." The poetic sentiment of Southern Dynasty literati quietly awakens in Anji's bamboo sea sanctuary—Kaichen·Xixinlu, a rammed earth art space transformed from an ancient village, invites you to temporarily leave the hustle behind, rest by the mountains, listen to babbling springs, and live a few days of "divine leisure!" Nestled at No. 122, Hengyuanli Natural Village, Henglu Village, Tianhuangping Town, Anji, the homestay is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with bamboo waves rolling and springs murmuring.

Originally a village dwelling, the homestay was redesigned by a team from the China Academy of Art, preserving the rammed earth walls while blending in modern minimalist design. Every brick and tile reflects reverence for nature and aesthetic ingenuity, earning it the "Best Hotel Design Award." The entrance hides among the trees, with a turquoise pool as an accent. Open the window to see bamboo waves dancing, and discover the surprise of a welcoming pup on the courtyard's stone path.

"Calm your heart by the peaks, forget to return in the valleys"—here, there's no urban clamor, only the rustling of bamboo and the warm aroma of a wood-fired stove. Put down your phone, listen to the wind through the bamboo, watch clouds swallow mountain peaks, and embrace the tranquility of "calming the restless heart." Bring your furry friend, brew a pot of Anji white tea under the rammed earth walls, and let the mountain breeze carry away city weariness.
