Who can relate, family?! For this floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the sea of clouds 🌫, I rushed overnight from Hangzhou to the mountains of Lin'an!! The moment I opened the door, all fatigue was worth it 😭
📍【Toward the Wild · Shendou Wubei】
🚗Address: Yutan Natural Village, Tayuline, Qianchuan Town, Lin'an, Hangzhou
(Car-friendly! 1.5h drive from downtown Hangzhou)
💰Average cost: 800+ yuan to stay in a landscape painting frame
🌊Stay in the gap between clouds and river
The full-house floor-to-ceiling windows + tatami design is absolutely amazing!! Woken up by the morning sunshine ☀️, opening your eyes to a screen full of green mountains and sea of clouds~ Our river-view room comes with a huge terrace where you can drink tea and read books while listening to the sound of the stream. You won't even want to touch your phone!!
🍊Mountain wilderness exclusive activities
✔️Housekeeper takes you to pick oranges and make special drinks
✔️Fishing by the stream 🎣/hiking in bamboo forests/cycling around the mountain
✔️In winter, the whole house has floor heating + tatami mats, rolling around barefoot is super healing
✔️Just 5 minutes' walk to play in the water and catch fish 🐟
🥘Wild mountain flavors in your belly
Highly recommend the sukiyaki pot and farm dishes at the homestay!! The vegetables are freshly picked by grandma in the morning 🥬 and the free-range chicken soup is so fresh your tongue might fall off~ Enjoying hotpot on the river-view terrace while watching the sunset, the atmosphere is perfect!!
✨Secret heavenly corners
✔️The homestay has exclusive access to 1 kilometer of riverbank (claiming the entire landscape!)
✔️The book bar has a wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling window (photos look like you're in the clouds)
✔️Rooms equipped with astronomical telescopes 🔭 (perfect for stargazing at night)
✔️Orange picking season is super fun (you can also DIY fruit tea)
⚠️Tips:
❶Definitely bring mosquito repellent! The mountain ecosystem is too good
❷Recommended clothing: linen/forest style (matches the scenery perfectly)
❸Nearby attractions include Heqiao Ancient Town/Zhedong Grand Canyon (20 minutes by car)
I heard winter is even more amazing ❄️ with floor heating tatami + snow outside the window, isn't this a real-life version of Little Forest!! Already planning my second visit~
