Found my ideal homestay in Zunyi, a perfect balance of rustic charm and luxury.

The design of Yinju Xiangli • Wutongshan Homestay artfully blends the characteristics of northern Guizhou dwellings with a modern minimalist style. Traditional elements such as rammed earth walls, grey tiles, and wooden beams and columns complement the large floor-to-ceiling windows and minimalist lines, preserving the rustic simplicity of the countryside while exuding comfort and refinement.

Guest rooms feature natural materials like wood, cotton, linen, and wicker, alongside modern amenities such as underfloor heating and smart toilets. Some rooms boast private courtyards or viewing terraces, where you can enjoy the mountain breeze in the morning and gaze at the stars at night. The most captivating feature is the Stargazing Room, where you can lie on a soft bed and admire the vast Milky Way through the glass roof.

Ingredients are mostly sourced from the homestay's own organic garden and neighboring farmers. Breakfast features local delicacies like Suiyang hollow noodles and freshly ground bean curd. For lunch and dinner, savor northern Guizhou specialties such as sour soup fish and firewood-smoked bacon. The chef also adjusts the menu seasonally, offering wild bamboo shoots stewed with free-range chicken in spring and sweet osmanthus-infused glutinous rice with lotus root in autumn.

A forest playground and a petting zoo allow children to connect with nature. The tea room and library regularly host folk music performances and handicraft workshops. Guests can also participate in agricultural activities such as tea picking and processing, and rice paddy fishing.

This is more than just accommodation; it's a way of life. Spring invites you to hike and pick tea, summer to explore streams and watch fireflies, autumn to capture the beauty of rice paddies, and winter to gather around a warm stove and enjoy tea. In this valley gently guarded by parasol trees, time seems to slow down and become richer.
