Camping in the remote mountains of Jing County! Hide in the bamboo sea and feel like an immortal

This abandoned village in Jing County has been transformed into a wild camping spot! As soon as you enter the valley, you are surrounded by lush green bamboo. The old houses with rammed earth walls and blue tiles make you feel like "living in a hut among people, yet without the noise of carriages and horses," instantly escaping the city's hustle and bustle 🌿
The homestay design really hits the spot! The exterior has the style of old Southern Anhui architecture, while the interior is super comfortable and modern. I especially love the window in Aosnow Courtyard that faces the wild mountains. Sitting under the corridor watching the mountains and listening to the rain, watching the wind sweep through the bamboo sea, holding a cup of tea in hand, it’s so cozy you want to stay forever!
The valley to the east is even more surprising! The Flowering Creek Valley winds around the hillside tea gardens. Occasionally, you’ll meet farmers picking tea, hoeing the land, or gathering wild vegetables. It feels like stepping into a real-life Peach Blossom Spring, and every photo you take is a healing masterpiece ✨
The rooms are super spacious and perfect for families! The greenery inside the rooms is just right, warm and elegant. The tea room is great for tasting tea and reading, and you can also burn incense and meditate; some small courtyards even have private hot springs! Soaking in the pool at night while stargazing makes time feel like it slows down.
The facilities are also very complete! If you want to chat, go to the tea room for afternoon tea; if you want to get hands-on, there’s a workshop; for company team building, you can hold meetings or parties in the bamboo hall. The large lawn is amazing—camping BBQs, letting your dog run freely, whatever makes you comfortable!
There’s plenty to do nearby too! Visit Peach Blossom Pool to seek the poetry of Li Bai, stroll through the old alleys of Chaji Ancient Town, touch the Xuan paper in the Xuan Paper Town. It’s super convenient for self-driving, and the homestay even has charging stations, so no worries at all~
Stay here for three days and nights, and all the "work stress" will disappear! Wake up to birdsong in the morning, watch the sunset dye the bamboo tips in the evening. This kind of freedom in the mountains and wild really makes you not want to leave!
