Clouds Drifting Among Pines | A Forest Hideaway Atop the Mountain⛰️
-
Day 7 of escaping the city
Starlight shaken from pine branches falls into the hot spring
Mountain breeze carrying the scent of grass and trees passes through floor-to-ceiling windows
Now I finally understand
True seclusion isn't about isolating from the world
But breathing in rhythm with all living things

For this trip, I chose "Clouds Drifting Among Pines" in Jiande
Staying in the Wave-Listening Tree House suspended at the highest point among pine branches
Like a moonlight box accidentally left behind by the mountain wind
270° floor-to-ceiling glass frames the entire forest
Into a folding screen of changing seasons
The private hot spring diffuses the deep breath of the earth
In the twilight
Engaging in an intimate interaction with the wilderness

It's right outside these windows where leaves gently tremble
