🌿Zibo Staycation | Stay in a Landscape Painting, These 6 Secluded Homestays Healed My Mental Exhaustion🏡

Who would have thought, everyone!!
In Zibo, a city famous for its barbecue,
I discovered secluded homestays comparable to scenes from "Little Forest" movie😭
Open the window to misty mountains and green valleys
Lie on a heated kang bed listening to bubbling springs

Let morning mist flow over your ankles
Listen to springs singing beside your pillow
In this moment
I've made peace with the world's noise🌙
