Fanchang Homestay | Driving 2 Hours with Pets Just to Escape to This Secluded Mountain Retreat -

🚗 Escape the city in 2 hours and hide away in Wuhu’s mountain paradise 🌿

Recently discovered a hidden gem homestay in the mountains of Fanchang—Xidi Alanruo Resort Village! It’s just a 2-hour drive from downtown, and you can even bring your furry friends to run around~ Didn’t expect such a secluded paradise to be hidden around Wuhu!

🏡 A Modern Art Piece Hidden in the Valley
The first thing that struck me was its black exterior wall! The minimalist modern architecture perfectly blends with the lush green mountain scenery, making every snapshot look like a magazine cover. The entire resort is embraced by mountains, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of plants. Wake up to birdsong in the morning and lie down to watch the stars at night✨

💯 Super Thoughtful Butler-Style Service
Received greetings from the butler even before check-in, with “anything you need” service throughout! They help with luggage, deliver afternoon tea, adjust the room... even my dog has a dedicated food bowl! The staff are super nice, and detail lovers will be very satisfied~

🛋️ Rooms That Combine Style and Comfort
Smart toilets, electric curtains, premium amenities... the facilities rival those of five-star hotels! I especially love the room design—simple yet very textured. Soaking in the private hot spring while enjoying the mountain view instantly melts away fatigue~ The kids’ room with a slide is just too adorable!

🥘 Unexpected Culinary Delights
Didn’t expect the mountain restaurant to be this good! The breakfast is so hearty it’s overwhelming... The highlight is their Southeast Asian cuisine, with Tom Yum soup that’s sour, spicy, and appetizing. Even my picky dog drooled (of course, no dog food for him!)

🐾 Pet-Friendly to the MAX
There are so few resorts where you can bring your dog to run free! Here, pets are not only allowed but also provided with food bowls and snacks. Seeing my furry friend running wild on the lawn was like shooting a pet commercial!
