📍Location
Perched on Eagle Beak Cliff at an altitude of 800m in Liuping Village, Jianping Township, Wushan County, Chongqing🌄, this homestay sits on a cliff plateau overlooking the Yangtze River, facing the Goddess Peak👀! Whether you arrive by high-speed rail (Wushan Station🚄) or plane (Wushan Airport✈️), just contact the butler in advance for complimentary private transfers🆓!

Leave the thrilling 360° mountain-hugging final stretch🌪️ to their expert drivers while you marvel at the dramatic "18 Hairpin Turns" scenery🌿!
🏠Unique Design
Muyá Wushan took three years to perfect✨! Inspired by 15th-century Machu Picchu🗿, it blends ancient stonework with modern aesthetics💫. The exterior features rugged rock and timber structures🏞️, as if grown naturally from the cliff🌲! Inside, minimalist healing vibes dominate🌿, with every window framing a living Wuxia Gorge landscape🎑. Six century-old banyan trees🌳 were preserved, linking seven buildings via walkways🏘️, while terraced cliffs create five levels of viewing platforms🪜. The 7.2m ultra-clear glass skywalk💎 offers views stretching 60km to Qutang Gorge’s entrance on clear days🌊!
