Escape to the serene Japanese-style retreat in the mountains of Moganshan

The towering buildings of the city fragment the sky into pieces,
The blue light of phone screens replaces the morning glow.
We are like wound-up dolls 🧸,
Repeating the same paths day after day in the concrete jungle.
Until one day, we exchange a knowing smile with our best friend:
"Let's escape, to the mountains⛰️."

Li Shang Qingli Guesthouse is nestled in the lush foothills,
Its black exterior subtly blends into the sea of bamboo.
The moment we push open the wooden door 🚪,
A handmade moss micro-landscape at the entrance glistens with morning dew.
The scent of incense smoke gently wafts through the natural wood-colored space.
My best friend taps my shoulder in surprise,
We gaze out the window 🪟 as the mountain mist flows past the bamboo blinds,
Turning our reflections into ink paintings.

At dawn ☁️, we roll out yoga mats on the terrace 🧘.
The mountain breeze carries the scent of pine needles and wild berries across our necks.
In the distance, the early-rising thrush replaces the mechanical gym sounds of the city 🎵.
My best friend's breathing gradually syncs with the rustling of the forest.
In a fleeting moment, we exchange smiles,
Realizing we've both quietly shed the standard smiles from beauty camera apps.

As dusk falls, the wind chimes under the eaves begin to sing.
We curl up on the tatami, sharing chilled mountain spring watermelon.
Our phones are forgotten deep in our luggage.
My best friend suddenly says, "Turns out, what we need isn't escape, but remembering how to breathe." 🫁
Moonlight streams through the window, writing footnotes in our overlapping shadows.
