### **Xiaocun Commune | A Utopia in the Mountains Where Time Slows Down**
**【Opening】**
While cities rush forward, time here stretches lazily in the mountain breeze—
**Xiaocun Commune**, a healing paradise nestled among the peaks of southern Zhejiang.
Terraced fields are its piano keys, sea of clouds its curtain, and the aroma of lattes drifts from renovated rammed-earth cottages. Your arrival completes the final piece of this pastoral puzzle.
