Qingcheng Mountain Hidden Wabi-Sabi Style Guesthouse｜Hide in the Mountain Hollow to Listen to the Mist and Watch the Forest

In a secret valley on the back mountain of Qingcheng, there is a guesthouse that has "escapism" engraved in its bones—Mountain Hollow. The moment you push open the wooden door, the city's noise is blocked out by green mountains and clear waters, leaving only the dampness of moss, the breeze through the bamboo forest, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the mountain view like a painting.

🌿 Instantly Captivating Wabi-Sabi Aesthetics

• Courtyard: Bluestone slabs embedded in moss, water flowing around natural stones, mist wrapping bamboo leaves and hanging down on rainy days, as if the entire poetic charm of Qingcheng Mountain is captured in the courtyard.

• Public Area: The texture of natural wood collides with cement, and 270° floor-to-ceiling windows frame the forest like a dynamic wallpaper. Nestled in the cotton-linen sofa, brew a pot of Qingcheng Dao tea, and the greenery outside the window will flow into the room with the light.

• Room: The 68㎡ scenic room comes with a private hot spring bath, naked cotton bedding wrapped in the forest’s breath, and when you open the window in the morning, a sea of clouds floats on the mountain peak opposite.

✨ Healing Experience Living in Nature

1. Morning Mist Listening: Woken by birdsong, the valley outside the balcony is filled with thin mist. Brew a cup of coffee, lean on the rattan chair, and watch the mist slowly wrap the bamboo forest.

2. Private Hot Spring Bathing: The bath is hidden in the greenery of the scenic balcony. In the cool evening mountain breeze, soak in the warm water and watch the sunset dye the clouds orange. Even the breath tastes like negative oxygen ions.

3. Night Star Gazing: Bamboo chairs and floor cushions are set in the courtyard. The housekeeper will bring roasted chestnuts and hot wine. Look up to see a starry sky free of light pollution, with the sound of a mountain stream flowing nearby.

📍 Nearby Activities (Lazy-Friendly)

• 10-minute walk: Go to Taian Ancient Town for a bowl of old cured meat noodles, and in the early morning, you might catch the monks’ morning chanting at Taian Ancient Temple.

• 20-minute drive: Hike Wulong Valley on the back mountain of Qingcheng, see waterfalls and plank roads embedded in the green forest (the guesthouse can lend hiking poles).

• Guesthouse Experience: Book a Qingcheng Dao tea class to learn how to brew pre-Qingming green tea with a tea master, or make traditional Chinese medicine sachets in the courtyard.

📌 Practical Tips

• Transportation: 1.5 hours by car from Chengdu, the guesthouse has free parking; 30 minutes by taxi from Qingchengshan Station.

If you want to escape the tension of the city, stay here for a couple of nights—the days in Mountain Hollow are like breaking down "slow" into every leaf and every wisp of mist, gently wrapping your fatigue.
