At the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, I found the ultimate divine homestay!

🏔️ At the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, I found the ultimate divine homestay!

✨ First, check out the cover photo! This floor-to-ceiling panoramic window facing the snow mountain made me truly understand what it means to "live within the scenery." I thought Lijiang's homestays had already reached peak perfection, until I stayed at this hidden cabin nestled in the primeval forest—only then did I realize mountain aesthetics could truly reach the next level...

📍 Location: Deep in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain · Yunyin Mountain Retreat
🚗 Transportation: Self-drive/homestay shuttle (40min from Lijiang Ancient Town)

💫【A First Impression That Stuns Like a Deity】
When the butler sent the route in advance, I worried it might be too remote
But the moment the off-road vehicle passed through the misty pine forest
The entire Jade Dragon Snow Mountain suddenly burst into view
The glass cabin hidden halfway up the mountain flickered in and out of the sea of clouds
At that moment, I was truly left speechless by its beauty...

🛋️【Living Inside a Designer’s Landscape Painting】
270° snow mountain views surround the entire cabin
Handcrafted mortise-and-tenon wooden structure
Blending wabi-sabi wool rugs with Naxi ethnic tie-dye
Every window feels like a dynamic art frame:
At dawn, watch the golden sunrise reflect in floating tea
At noon, chase cloud shadows dancing through the pines
At night, curl up by the fireplace counting stars in the Milky Way...
(Special shoutout to the floor heating + smart toilet! Essential at the foot of a snow mountain)

This isn’t for checklist travelers
But absolutely a soul spa for healing journeys
When urban anxiety is soothed by the mountain’s breath
You’ll understand what "Lost Horizon" meant:
"Shangri-La was never a set of coordinates
But the moment your heart suddenly grows still"
