I thought Guilin was very beautiful until I came to Xingyi...I regretted it too late!

## 🌿 Deep in Wanfenglin, I Found a Fairy-Tale Inn That Brews Landscape Into Life!
OMG, you guys!! Nestled among the karst peaks of Wanfenglin in Xingyi, Guizhou, I actually stayed in a real-life version of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"! This resort inn called "Wild Cloud Lodge" has literally steeped Wang Ximeng's blue-green landscape painting into a morning cup of tea—even the air feels soft with clouds here~
**🏡 What's It Like to Live Inside Nature's Womb?**
The inn features wabi-sabi design, but the real magic lies in its "custom-made" view boxes—every room is unique! My "Moon Embrace" room offered panoramic views of the Bagua Terraced Fields. At dawn, mist would flow like liquid milk over the peaks, while moonlight would gild Wanfenglin into silver waves at night. The butler told me they specially hired Bouyei artisans to build humidity-regulating rammed earth walls—no AC needed!
**🍵 Living Art with Intangible Heritage Flair**
Here, even drinking water becomes art! Every morning, the staff brings dew-kissed Luofan Village white tea with Bouyei five-color glutinous rice cakes. The highlight? The owner's signature "Landscape Tea Ceremony"—floating Wanfenglin's reflection in a bronze basin while sipping tea as ripples dance. Literally drinking the whole landscape! (Check out my immersive experience in pic 3)
**📸 Secret Photo Spots Revealed**
1️⃣ Rooftop infinity pool (epic reflections! Wear solid-color long dresses)
2️⃣ Under the ancient pear tree in the backyard (April's pear blossom rain is breathtaking)
3️⃣ Perforated brick walls in guest rooms (sunlight paints masterpieces at 3 PM sharp)
The owner also shared a 20-minute hiking trail to hidden karst terraces!
**🍂 My 24-Hour Diary**
7:00 Woken by mountain birds → rooftop yoga
9:00 Breakfast: lamb rice noodles with rose sauce
11:00 Indigo dyeing workshop
15:00 Calligraphy practice copying "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes"
19:00 Stargazing hotpot feast on the terrace
21:00 Counting fireflies in a Yao herbal bath...
Now I finally understand the ancient saying: "Without leaving the hall, one exhausts all springs and valleys"—here, even daydreaming feels luxurious! Planning to return for the golden rice terrace season this autumn—anyone wanna join? 👯♀️ (Fengxi Inn)
