A forest oxygen homestay hidden in a secluded mountain valley

· Yao Family, Xicenwu, Duikou Village, Deqing
"Yinxi 39" is a secret mountain valley hidden beside the ancient Xicen Trail in Moganshan, with the house number 39 of the Yao family in Xicenwu, Duikou Village. Backed by ten thousand acres of bamboo sea and facing a babbling stream, it enjoys a natural oxygen bar where you can "open the door to see bamboo shadows and hear birdsong when you push the window." The navigation is precise but requires passing through winding bamboo forest paths, adding the fun of seeking a peach blossom land, and the moment you arrive, all worldly noise fades away.
The homestay is jointly created by designer Shen Yong (Old Pumpkin) and the owner Sister Lou, divided into two phases: "Water Courtyard" and "Mountain Courtyard." Water Courtyard: the original classic, overturning spatial boundaries with 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, turning the scenery into a dynamic mural. Mountain Courtyard: an expansion, continuing the concept of "bamboo as the bone," with gray tile and original wood architecture blending seamlessly with the bamboo forest. Mountain rocks are embedded in the hall, the dry landscape garden extends to the infinity pool, and the poolside is surrounded by green bamboo like a natural screen, exuding the Zen aesthetic of "detachment and contentment" everywhere.
In the morning, enjoy freshly ground soy milk, sweet potato corn, mixed grain porridge, and handmade steamed buns at the dining bar to awaken your taste buds; for main meals, don’t miss the must-try signature dish "Bamboo Forest Chicken Soup," with free-range chicken slow-cooked for hours, clear and rich in flavor; also the "Bamboo Tube Glutinous Rice Spare Ribs," where the glutinous rice absorbs the meat aroma—truly amazing.
