Help! I discovered a hidden gem homestay nestled in the landscapes of southern Anhui!

Surrounded by tea mountains + Hui-style courtyard + instant return after rafting! The ultimate summer waterplay base! 🔥

📍 Location so perfect it'll make you cry! Water lovers rejoice!
Right next to the Qinglongtan Rafting drop-off point! Soaked from head to toe after the rubber boat ride? No worries! Just walk two steps back to the homestay for a shower! 🛁 Hot water washes away fatigue, change into dry clothes while others are still waiting for shuttle buses (you know what I mean!). Only 5km from Shui Mo Tingxi Scenic Area - just a quick drive away! 👌

🏡 Environment: Stay in a historic Huizhou residence amid tea mountains

Wake up to tea mountain views! 🌱 The entire tea plantation on the back mountain belongs to the owner! The air is filled with fresh tea fragrance, even your hair will smell amazing! Mornings begin with birdsong and tea aroma - pure therapy!

A thousand-year-old soapberry tree guards the courtyard! 🌳 The owner says the towering tree at the center has millennium-old history (we didn't dare ask, but its presence is undeniable!). Drinking tea or playing chess under it feels like time travel!

White walls with black tiles, meticulously renovated! The revived old residence preserves charming wooden lofts and traditional mortise-tenon structures. New additions maintain authentic Hui-style architecture - 📸 every shot looks like an ink painting! The tea room comes with guzheng and chess sets - artsy vibes perfected!

🍵 Soul-stirring experience: The owner's premium private tea collection!
Here's the highlight! The owner is a tea merchant! 🃏 Unlimited supply of Jing County's famous "Ti Kui" tea! Free tasting upon check-in! Clear liquor, high fragrance, and incredible aftertaste! Couldn't resist buying two boxes as souvenirs before leaving! (Heard you can experience tea picking in spring!)
