An ancient village chosen by the OG of boutique homestays "Guoyun Mountain Residence"! Traditional rammed earth houses transformed into a secret paradise, where you can look up and see the Milky Way pouring romance into your eyes.
📍Guoyun Mountain Residence · Starry Gaotian
✔️Confirmed as China's most beautiful stargazing village! Almost zero light pollution
✔️Dark sky protection area with stargazing conditions comparable to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
✔️Old houses converted into cafés/bookstores that are worth exploring
🐟Foodie highlights!
▫️Freshly caught and cooked clear-water fish at local restaurants! The milky fish soup is incredibly delicious
▫️Villagers' home-smoked bacon so fragrant it'll make you stamp your feet! You'll want three bowls of rice with it
▫️Must-try morning soup noodles! Add a fried egg! You'll slurp up every last drop
(Farm-to-table dishes truly hit the spot more than Michelin-starred food 😭)
🏠Stay in a rammed earth stargazing room
▫️Smart toilet + floor heating + bathtub - countryside living with modern comforts
▫️Building 24's prime view room - open the window to see the entire ancient village
▫️Traditional beams mixed with modern design - 200% photogenic
✨TIPS:
❶Self-driving recommended! 3-hour drive from Hangzhou
❷Bring thick outerwear! Stargazing gets cold at night
❸Download a stargazing app in advance for a more romantic experience
