Who understands! Went to Liyang for a weekend stay at a homestay, and my posts were flooded with questions like "Did you fly to Hainan?"... Actually, this is the "Ailan Diyo Luxury Homestay" at the foot of Nanshan Bamboo Sea! Southeast Asian style meets bamboo sea and forest, the contrast is stunning✨
👀 Visual shock! Why does it look like Hainan?
I was amazed as soon as I arrived—there’s a sandy beach with coconut trees at the entrance, tropical plants all around the pool, and just a few steps away you can see vast bamboo forests. On one side is "Little Southeast Asia," on the other is a "Jiangnan secret spot." No need to adjust filters for photos; every shot looks like a vacation blockbuster!
✨ High-end luxury! So fun you won’t want to leave
The 5,500㎡ area is no joke, with brand-new facilities that satisfy families and friends alike:
• Must-try: hot spring soaking pool (super cozy in winter) + surround swimming pool (perfect for summer swimsuit photos)
• Entertainment area: KTV, chess and card room, billiards room, arcade, gym—enough to stay up all night
• For families with kids: exclusive children’s play area, kids can burn energy all day while parents relax
• Dining: French restaurant + barbecue area, enjoy Chinese and Western food without leaving
🛏️ What room type to stay in? I chose the hidden gem suites
Tried two room types and loved both! Detail lovers will be thrilled:
• "Lanshan Queen Suite": 2-meter king bed so soft you sink in, the highlight is the scenic large bathtub! You can soak while enjoying distant mountain views, fully enhancing the vacation vibe
• "Yingshan Bathtub King Room": 50㎡ spacious and not cramped, floor-to-ceiling windows face the mountain residence, toiletries are a full set of L’Occitane, and it comes with a Dyson hairdryer for maximum luxury
🎁 Check-in perks & winter surprises
There are surprises as soon as you check in, with great value:
• Basic perks: Shanjiao coffee + double tickets to the mountain farm, perfect for daytime visits
• Winter exclusive: pre-sale package includes experience at "Yixing Bamboo Sea Ski Resort"! Stay at the homestay + ski all in one, no need to travel far
🏆 Proven quality! Frequent on top lists
Not bragging, this place is truly Liyang’s top star:
• No.1 on Nanshan Bamboo Sea luxury hotel list
• No.2 on Nanshan Bamboo Sea scenic hotel list
• No.5 on Liyang luxury hotel list
Stay here with complete peace of mind, and the service is super thoughtful—help with luggage, proactive activity introductions, no disappointments at all!
📍 Address & Tips
• Exact address: No. 23, Xiachangyuan, Lijiayuan Village Committee, Daibu Town, Liyang City (near Nanshan Bamboo Sea, super convenient for sightseeing)
• Tip: Book rooms with good views in advance! Watching the bamboo sea sunset by the pool at dusk is breathtaking~
Princes and princesses! If you want to escape the city but not go too far, this "Little Hainan + Bamboo Sea" double buff homestay is the way to go!
