I specifically drove to Anji just for this "Wabi-Sabi Style Little Black House"!

Just a 2-hour drive from Hangzhou, you can escape into a secret bamboo sea. The moment you stay at "Erji·Rusu," you’ll understand what it means to "fall asleep with bamboo as your pillow and wake up to the sound of the stream"—my bestie said this trip is worth 100 times more than squeezing into crowded tourist spots!

📍A hidden gem in a geological cultural town

The guesthouse is located in Shenxi Village, Baofu Town, Anji (the only three-star geological cultural town in Zhejiang Province!), surrounded by amazing spots:

• Within walking distance to the Northern Zhejiang Grand Canyon and Shenxi Grand Canyon, where you can see stone wave formations and ancient earthquake relics

• Right in front of a babbling creek, backed by a vast bamboo sea; the mountain road driving in feels like a movie scene, every frame is wallpaper-worthy

🏡 "Wabi-Sabi Aesthetics" in a renovated old house

Originally a traditional rammed earth house, the renovation is stunning:

• Outside features Morandi sunset yellow with sharp lines, white walls contrasting with rammed earth texture, and a Korean-style tea living room perfect for photos

• Rooms are in off-white and wood tones, with the bathroom area separated by a low stone wall, simple yet highly textured without excessive decoration

• Highlighting the private hot spring room! A separate courtyard with a canopy, soaking in hot water under the stars at night—couples will be bubbling with sweetness~

🌟 Reasons you won’t want to leave once you check in

The public facilities meet every need, perfect for those who want to relax:

• Daytime fun: walk the suspension bridge, step in the creek, shoot forest-style photos at the infinity pool, or read and daydream in the glass tea living room

• Nighttime excitement: outdoor movies, bonfire parties (with live bands in peak season!), and a sky full of stars overhead

• Light sleepers, don’t worry: the private courtyard is separated by a creek for full sound insulation, and the bedding is so soft you’ll sink right in (the host specially chose high-quality cotton!)

🍲 Home-cooked meals tastier than tourist restaurants

I originally planned to eat out but ended up loving the guesthouse dinner:

• All home-style dishes made with fresh local ingredients, light in flavor but super fresh, I ate two bowls of rice straight

• Breakfast includes freshly cooked porridge and local snacks, enjoyed with bamboo sea views to energize your whole day

📸 Photo tips | 3 styles to shoot freely

• Forest healing style: bamboo sea paths + creek suspension bridge, wear light-colored dresses, the breeze makes every shot stunning

• Artsy Instagram style: glass tea living room (afternoon sunlight is amazing), by the private hot spring pool (hug a pillow for a lazy vibe)

• Night atmosphere style: in front of the outdoor movie screen, by the bonfire, use flash for a story-rich effect

🚗 Travel Tips

• Navigation: No. 68, Shenxi Village, Baofu Town, Anji County (just search "Erji·Rusu")

• Transport: 2 hours by car from Hangzhou, 3.5 hours from Shanghai, free parking available

• Nearby: Want to hike? Go to Longwang Mountain, walk the mountain trails early morning, the dew mixed with bamboo scent is super healing

For those who don’t want to squeeze into crowded tourist spots, this "bamboo sea secret" is truly amazing! You’ll understand the feeling of living life like poetry once you arrive~
