A Romantic Getaway in the Forest: Xitou Miti Hotel x Monster Village

🏨 Miti Hotel｜A Romantic European Castle in the Forest
Driving through winding mountain roads, arriving at Miti Hotel feels like stepping into a fairytale. The building exudes European charm, nestled in the mountains surrounded by mist and greenery, creating a tranquil and dreamy atmosphere.

🛏 Stay in a Forest View Double Room
We chose a double room facing the forest, with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views of the lush greenery. At night, we listened to the sounds of insects and distant winds, and in the morning, we were gently awakened by sunlight. These simple yet precious moments together were truly special.

The room's decor is elegant and soft, with a comfortable bed and a bathtub for relaxing soaks. It's perfect for an essential oil bath to add a touch of romance.

🎡 Enjoying Hotel Amenities
We particularly loved the following hotel facilities:
• 🌿 Public SPA Pool: Soaking in warm spring water while gazing at the misty scenery outside is incredibly relaxing.
• 🏊♂️ Indoor Heated Swimming Pool: A peaceful afternoon swim without the crowds.
• 🎤 KTV Room: We booked an hour in the KTV room at night, singing nostalgic love songs—fun and sweet.
• 🚶♀️ Forest Trail: Direct access to forest trails from the hotel’s back door, perfect for a therapeutic hand-in-hand stroll.

🍴 Romantic Dinner and Breakfast
For dinner, we enjoyed a two-person set meal at the hotel’s Chinese restaurant, featuring dishes like braised pork with preserved vegetables, garlic mountain greens, and three-cup mushrooms—all delicious and perfectly portioned for two. Breakfast was buffet-style, offering everything from freshly cooked porridge to Western-style bread and coffee. Sitting by the window, enjoying the mountain view, added a vacation vibe.
