Has everyone come to Huangshan for the National Day holiday? The oil painting-style homestay next to Lucun is absolutely stunning!!

I struck gold in Huangshan! This hidden gem in the cultural village is just a step away from Lucun. Escape the city on the weekend and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into a real-life Monet garden.

The scenery on a sunny day is truly breathtaking! From the viewing platform, you can see the verdant mountains rolling endlessly in shades of blue-green. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the white-walled, black-tiled Huizhou-style village is nestled among the greenery. Every snapshot looks like a softly lit oil painting, so gentle it’s almost unreal.

Rainy days have their own unique charm! Mist swirls through the mountains, and the Huizhou-style houses appear and disappear in the fog, perfectly capturing the poetic essence of southern Anhui’s misty rain. No wonder this place is called Huangshan’s "Little Altay." This hazy mountain beauty really touches the heart deeply~

The standalone two-bedroom villa we stayed in is perfect for traveling with friends! The space is spacious and quiet, each room offers a scenic view, and opening the window reveals mountain and village views. Waking up in the morning, you might even catch a glimpse of the sea of clouds—every sight is healing. The soft bedding, quality toiletries, and complimentary fresh fruit add delightful surprises in every detail.

The living room is equipped with a washing machine and refrigerator, making life very convenient. The homestay has a swimming pool for fun water activities, and breakfast can be enjoyed buffet-style at Banyan Tree. The most thoughtful touch is the free Hanfu rental in the lobby—wear a Hanfu and stroll around the area, and you’ll effortlessly capture stunning ancient-style photos with a 100% success rate.

No worries about meals! Within walking distance is Lucun’s "Drunken Beauty Farm," serving authentic Huizhou dishes like stinky mandarin fish and native chicken soup, so fresh and delicious you’ll savor every bite. Staying here also waives the Lucun entrance fee, and you can book a leisurely horse-drawn carriage tour of the park—pure bliss to the core.

Even more convenient, it’s only a 10-minute drive to Hongcun and Xidi, making it super easy to visit these ancient villages on the way. For Anhui locals wanting a quiet weekend getaway, this place is definitely the top choice!
