Anji Laozhuang Mountain | Step into a Fairytale Forest and Leave Your Heart Here

❤️ Days after returning from Anji Laozhuang Mountain, my heart still lingers in those lush woods 🌿

🍀 Thousands of acres of tea fields resemble a spilled palette of green paint by nature, cascading toward the mountain peaks. The vast bamboo forest sways like waves in the wind. Walking through the woods, the rustling bamboo leaves mingle with the fragrance of tea, shattering the city's noise into tranquility 💯🌿 Stay in a standalone thatched cottage—open the window to misty mountains and a sea of bamboo. On the terrace at night, lounge under the stars with a chorus of frogs, as if returning to the most carefree days of childhood 🌙

🏞 The mountaintop pool is breathtaking! While swimming, watch as the sea of clouds rolls in from the Yunshang Grassland behind the peaks. Reach out, and you might just grab a wisp to wipe away your sweat—surreal "swimming in a painting" vibes had me grinning at the scenery for ages～‼️ Plucking tea leaves, fingertips brushing tender buds; fishing by the lake, watching the float bob—even waiting for a bite feels precious. Drifting on a traditional awning boat, the lake mirrors the green mountains like a painting. In that moment, I finally understood what "serene bliss" truly means ✨

🌞 This journey was like a forest spa for the soul—leaving anxiety and exhaustion in the bamboo sea, embracing life anew with relaxation and wonder 🌻
