Escaped into a forest cabin to breeze, daydream, and unwind

Baked by relentless 36°C+ heatwaves, I frequently flee to the mountains—adoring the lush greenery and melodious birdsong. When Qinglan Valley’s triangular cabins popped up on my feed, I instantly caved. Securing annual leave, I hit the gas, escaping the scorching urban jungle to recharge in this real-life fairy tale!
