✨ Key Highlights: Immersive Zen Living
1. Exclusive Buddha Viewing · Embracing Nature's Spirit
◦ Direct View of the Ksitigarbha Statue: Nestled in the ancient village of Laotianwu, the guesthouse offers a direct line of sight to the 99-meter-tall outdoor bronze Ksitigarbha statue. From the restaurant terrace, you can admire the golden Buddha amidst morning mists, with just a 2-minute drive to the statue's base.
◦ 2500㎡ Natural Panorama: The courtyard is backed by the verdant Lion Peak and faces expansive terraced rice fields. Every window frames a dynamic landscape—spring plowing, summer greenery, autumn gold, and winter snow, creating a year-round ink painting.
2. Zen Meditation Experience · A Haven for the Soul
◦ Incense Meditation: Enjoy a complimentary experience of traditional incense tracing, a cultural heritage practice. Let the calming aroma align your spirit with the Zen ambiance of Mount Jiuhua, turning your stay into a spiritual journey.
◦ Rituals of Slow Living: Start your day with yoga on the terrace, enjoy tea ceremonies facing the mountains at dusk, and gather under the starry sky at night. Rediscover balance in the rhythm of nature.
3. Luxurious Design · A Blend of Rustic Charm and Modern Comfort
◦ Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic Spaces: Featuring rammed earth walls, wooden beams, and stone steps, the design incorporates elements of traditional Anhui architecture. Guest rooms are equipped with smart temperature control systems and premium bedding, seamlessly merging rustic charm with modern comfort.
◦ Healing Communal Areas: A rice field library and a stargazing campsite offer spaces for solitude and contemplation or lively gatherings with BBQs, soothing urban anxieties.
4. Local Flavors · Zen on the Palate
◦ Seasonal Mountain Feasts: Enjoy authentic dishes like Ksitigarbha Polygonatum Chicken and Jiuhua Stone Ear fungus, with ingredients sourced from nearby farms.
◦ Cloud-Top Afternoon Tea: Savor handcrafted tea snacks on the terrace, with the sea of clouds as your table and Buddha's light as your companion, perfect for creating Instagram-worthy moments.
