Weekend Escape Guide｜A Soulful Retreat in the Mountains

When the city's heatwave turns us into restless creatures, I always think of the smoky hues of the mountains. No need to pack a complicated suitcase🧳—just bring your empty self. The shuttle from Li Shang·Qing Li will take you through the winding mountain roads, as if passing through layers of modern civilization's barriers, finally arriving at this secluded paradise.

The terrace of the guesthouse is a theater designed for solitude. In the morning, watch the mist☁️ rise slowly from the valley, like a waterfall played in reverse. In the afternoon, let the pages of a book📕 turn freely at the tea table in the hall, where the light and shadows between the words pause more naturally than any bookmark.

When the stars fill the night sky, soak in the private hot spring🫧 in your room. The butler, always at the perfect distance, places a chilled bayberry brew🍸 within easy reach. Soak in the hot spring while gazing at the starry sky🌌 outside the window.

Listen👂…

When the mountain breeze carries the rustling of bamboo past your ears, the scratching of a pen on paper suddenly becomes deafening. It turns out that solitude has its own decibels🛎️, only diluted to near silence by the city's noise. Occasionally, a wild bird🐦‍⬛ perches on the eaves, tilting its head to observe this two-legged creature. Both become part of each other's scenery👀.
