This is the right way to enjoy autumn in Wuhan: ginkgo trees!!

On an autumn trip to Wuhan, I unexpectedly discovered this hidden gem of a guesthouse at the foot of Mulan Mountain! Lying in bed, you can see century-old ginkgo trees, and opening the window reveals picturesque mountain views. "Wuhan Yuehe Linquan Guesthouse" is truly a secluded paradise 🍂

📍Location
Located opposite the Huyutang Museum in the Mulan Mountain Scenic Area, with a high coverage of greenery and air so fresh it can heal city fatigue. You can walk to the mountain top to watch a stunning sunset or visit the ancient village at the foot of the mountain to feel the passage of time. The Wuhan Huyutang Museum is nearby, a must-visit for culture lovers!

🏡Live inside a landscape painting
The entire guesthouse looks like it stepped out of an ancient painting—thatch roofs, Chinese-style courtyards shaded by red maples, courtyards covered with fallen leaves in front of floor-to-ceiling windows... The beauty of autumn here is amplified 100 times! Highly recommend choosing a room with a view of the ginkgo trees; waking up to a sea of golden leaves in the morning is magical✨

🌿Super healing experiences
• Forest café: Hold a warm drink and watch the ginkgo leaves fall
• Private hot spring: Soak while stargazing, perfect for autumn and winter
• Healing classes: Sutra copying/meditation/forest therapy, the stress relief code for city dwellers
• Glass sunroom: 200% photo-worthy, the play of light and shadow is breathtaking

🍜Delicious surprises
Freshly cooked three-flavor noodles for breakfast warm both stomach and heart, and the handmade soy milk is rich and smooth. Be sure to try the signature chicken soup hotpot, made with locally free-range chicken. Many guests buy the native chicken from the housekeeper to take home after eating!

💁Service highlights
• 24-hour housekeeper on call anytime
• Free help with receiving and sending packages
• Proactively plans nearby sightseeing routes
• Even the slippers and toiletries are higher quality than ordinary hotels

📸Best photo spots
1. Thatch eaves in front of the ginkgo trees (Hanfu recommended)
2. Silhouette shots with backlighting in the glass room
3. Atmospheric misty photos by the hot spring pool
4. Maple leaf background wall by the restaurant window

⚠️Tips
• Book a scenic room at least 1 month in advance during peak season
• Late autumn is the best time to see the ginkgo trees at their peak (mid to late November)
• Recommend driving yourself or arranging pick-up/drop-off (the location is quite secluded)
• Bring a book; the slow pace here is perfect for reading and daydreaming
