Yueshan Homestay: Encounter a healing secret place amid the smoke and mountains of Shuhe Ancient Town
If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and long to find a corner in Lijiang’s Shuhe Ancient Town where your body and mind can completely relax, Yueshan Homestay will surely be your favorite. It is like a close friend who understands you, quietly blending the ancient simplicity of the town, the openness of the mountains, and modern comfort. Every detail hides a delightful surprise that makes you want to return again and again.
1. Sleeping in the scenery: elegance and poetry in the rooms
Open the door to the room, and the minimalist yet warm design immediately captures your attention. The white bedding is fluffy and soft, like being embraced by clouds; the combination of natural wood and warm brown tones creates a cozy texture in the soft light. The most touching is the window—open it, and the blue-tiled eaves of Shuhe Ancient Town become the view. In the distance, the mountains are like ink paintings, clouds drift leisurely over the peaks, in the morning you can watch the sunlight gild the tiles, and at dusk admire the sunset turning the sky orange-red. This kind of “lying down and enjoying the view” comfort—who wouldn’t love it?
2. Elegant charm in public areas: immersion from culture to nature
Every corner of the homestay’s public area is full of thoughtful design. One wall displays a replica of an ancient horse relief; its rough texture seems to echo the camel bells of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, instantly transporting you back to that legendary era. Nearby, woven chairs and ceramic vase flower arrangements add a touch of wabi-sabi elegance. Holding a book and sipping tea, time slows down.
If you want to embrace a broader nature, head to the rooftop terrace! It looks like a spilled palette of plants, with the fresh green of ferns, the rosy pink of flowers, and the deep green of trees weaving a vibrant life. Against the backdrop of distant mountains and clear skies, just find a corner to sit, breathe in the scent of grass and wood, and all your fatigue will be soothed away.
3. Between the smoke and mountains of Shuhe, it is an anchor of healing
The charm of Yueshan Homestay lies in its presence both in the lively atmosphere of Shuhe Ancient Town—you can step out and blend into the bustling stone-paved streets, taste a bowl of local chicken rice noodles, and browse handmade shops—and in the quietness of the mountain mist—returning to the homestay feels like entering a paradise, with mountain views from the window and peaceful solitude behind closed doors.
It understands travelers’ expectations for “living”: comfortable lodging and spiritual resonance. Here, you can daydream by the window in your room, watching the clouds roll by; immerse yourself in reading in a corner of the public area, conversing with history and culture; or have a silent exchange with the distant mountains among the flowers on the terrace...
If you also want to find a place in Shuhe “rooted in the smoke of daily life yet gazing at the mountain mist,” Yueshan Homestay will be the reason you don’t want to leave. Stay here for a few days and let the town’s slow pace and the mountain’s tranquility tune your life to the most comfortable frequency.
