🌿 Just 1 hour from Shanghai🚗 Stay in a forest oxygen bar, play with cats and water✨
I found a summer retreat secret on Chongming Island! Hidden deep in the Gongyi Forest of Haodong Village, the air is filled with the scent of pine trees～🌲

Nine guest rooms scattered like cabins by the stream, highly recommend the Huanglu room type! Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a blue swimming pool and a sea of hydrangeas. Spend the day soaking in the water watching the shadows of trees sway, and at night lie on the rocking chair on the terrace counting stars—this is what summer should be like!💦

Top-notch butler service! Upon arrival, you’re served chilled sour plum soup, and the goodnight tea delivered at dusk is Chongming old white tea paired with mung bean cake～🍵 The room is fully equipped with a Dyson hairdryer, smart toilet, and even the mosquito repellent liquid is plant-based—definitely mosquito-proof!

🍕 You must try the handmade thin-crust pizza experience! Follow the butler to knead the dough, sprinkle cheese, then bake it in the outdoor brick oven until crispy and fragrant. The cheese pull is so good you’ll want to take a video before eating.

🌳 Plenty of activities nearby:
✅ 5-minute bike ride to Dongping Forest Park, rent a tandem bike to chase squirrels
✅ Go crab fishing by the old Haodong River at dusk, the butler thoughtfully prepares fishing rods and flashlights
✅ The guesthouse has its own naturalist garden, where you might encounter fireflies while strolling along the wooden boardwalk!

Spend two days here in summer, and the fatigue from work will be blown away by the forest breeze～
