Shaanxi Hanyin｜Isn't this just the pastoral ideal for city dwellers?

My first stay at Yinju Xiangli was two years ago in Liuba Loufanggou, and I was immediately drawn to this countryside-rooted homestay brand because it perfectly matches city people's imagination of an ideal rural life. Nestled in the mountains and fields, yet with the core quality of a branded hotel.

Recently, I saw they opened a new store again and are offering a half-price discount during the trial operation, so I had to set off immediately for a weekend without limits ❤️❤️❤️

✅ This courtyard is located in Sanliu Village, Hanyin County, Ankang City, known as the "Beautiful Leisure Countryside of China." Ancient willows, crested ibis, rice fields, and lotus ponds are its tags 🏷️

✅ In front of the door, there are rivers and fields; behind the house, there are trees and mountains ⛰️. The kids 👧 run through the fields wearing straw hats, pointing at the pumpkins in the ground, asking: "Mom, is this the sweet pumpkin we ate this morning?"

✅ The pool by the fields, the second-floor book bar, and the mountain-view terrace outside the rooms are all sources of their happiness~

✅ Adults can read a book in the book bar, brew a cup of tea in the room, or daydream on the terrace. Kids need to embrace nature, and moms also need to take a break now and then 🌿🌿🌿

✅ The biggest surprise this time was the room amenities, equipped with a favorite outdoor brand of toiletries. I had been using their hand cream before, and this time I was won over by the scent of the shower gel.

✅ Besides the usual supplies, the room thoughtfully provides sunglasses, hair clips, mosquito repellent, woven bags, and sun hats 👒, convenient for taking photos by the lotus pond 📷 PS: Feel free to use them but please don’t take them away 🫰

✅ Since it is still in the trial operation phase and has already attracted high popularity 🔥, some minor coordination issues are inevitable, but they do not affect the experience.

The kids didn’t want to leave the homestay to visit other attractions, so we stayed put. For those with more energy, you can also arrange visits to:
🔆 Shuanghekou Ancient Town, explore the Qing Dynasty old street and try snacks, 15 minutes by car from the homestay;
🔆 Sanliu Village lotus pond/rice fields, perfect for lotus viewing and photography in the great outdoors, 5 minutes by car from the homestay;
🔆 Fengyan Ancient Terraced Fields, about an hour’s drive from the homestay;
🔆 Thousand-acre Lotus Pond, 45 minutes by car from the homestay;

This trip to Yinju Xiangli also helped me discover this hidden gem in southern Shaanxi—Hanyin. When leaving, I took a walk by the lotus pond and was lucky to see the crested ibis hiding there, perfectly ending the trip. It was great this time, see you next time ❤️
