Shanzhong Village: Is this the idyllic life you dream of?

It seems that every Chinese person has a dream of living in the countryside, inspired by the poet Tao Yuanming! ✨✨ If you are tired of the skyscrapers and traffic in the city, why not spend a few days in the mountains? Gushan Village, located 1.5 hours by car from Xiamen, is the closest paradise to the city. The village is accessible only by a winding mountain road that takes half an hour to drive. As the poem goes, "Beyond the mountains and rivers, there is another village." 🏔🏔🌲🌲

Stay in a wooden cabin at Shanzhong Qishe B&B 🏡🏡. There is a small stream in front of the cabin, surrounded by fields and a small garden full of flowers. Watch the four cats 🐱 and two dogs 🐶 in the garden, living together like brothers and sisters. The fatigue of travel and the troubles of life will all be healed, and time will slow down from this moment on. 🌷🌷

Fall asleep to the sound of the stream at night, and wake up naturally to the sunshine and birdsong the next day. You can order a croissant sandwich with coffee 🥪🥪☕️☕️, or swing slowly on a swing, brew a pot of tea 🍵, and take the dogs to the fields to play when you are rested. Is this the idyllic life you dream of? 🌿🌿🌾🌾
