MMileurminiI found a truly 'living' B&B in Wuyuan – 'Zai Shanye'. Originally an old power station from the 70s and 80s, it spans about 15 mu (approximately 2.5 acres).
Its design is far from over-the-top, featuring expansive white walls with ample blank space and warm, natural wood. Like a clean canvas, it fully cedes the spotlight to the mountains, trees, clouds, and wind outside the windows, truly embodying the philosophy of 'letting trees be trees, and mountains be mountains.'
The pure white minimalist architecture is as pristine as clouds in the mountains. It naturally acts as a reflector, making photos absolutely stunning! My phone kept clicking away, haha! The rooms are decorated in a Japanese style with warm-toned wooden furniture, making them incredibly cozy. Lying on the sofa, watching a movie, and gazing at the clouds drifting by outside the window – this moment truly feels unbelievably blissful!
But! It’s far from being a 'coldly minimalist' space!
There's also a wealth of dining and entertainment options!
**Lazy Afternoon Tea Time:** Enjoy freshly ground coffee, creative special blends, and exquisite teas, along with fried chicken, fries, pizza, and other snacks. Daydreaming while facing the mountain view is incredibly therapeutic!
**Tipsy Moments in the Mountains:** Savor a drink with fried snacks, accompanied by mountain breezes and the chirping of insects. Chatting about life with the girls, it’s unbelievably pleasant!
**Camping BBQ Box:** No need to prepare anything yourself; just grab it and head to the lawn or terrace to start a mountain BBQ party!
**Authentic Local Dinners:** A must-try for Wuyuan's specialty dishes! Ingredients are super fresh: free-range chickens raised on-site, vegetables picked fresh from their garden. You can truly taste the authentic flavors! Highly recommend the 'Fish Head Stew with White Tofu Soup' – the taste is incredibly, incredibly delicious and rich in umami.
**Evenings are far from boring:**
**7:30 PM: Bonfire + Outdoor Movie!** Gathering around the bonfire to watch a movie under the starry sky – romance levels off the charts!
**Billiards Challenge:** Have a friendly match with friends.
Sitting around the crackling bonfire, with the starry sky as your ceiling, watching an old movie – what an absolutely magical night!
**My personal thoughts:**
Staying here feels like living inside a dynamic landscape painting. Perhaps just sitting, listening to the mountain breeze, and watching the stars is beautiful enough. It offers the rustic charm of the wilderness, combined with the convenience and warmth of modern living. Here, nature truly is the eternal protagonist. Enjoying the tranquility of the mountains during the day, bonfire movies at night. My eyes feasted on the scenery, and my palate and spirit were utterly satisfied.
If you also want to escape the urban hustle and bustle and truly connect with nature; if you love minimalist aesthetics and Japanese Wabi-sabi style, and want to take a set of clean, high-end photos that blend seamlessly with the wilderness; if you want to relax and unwind but don't want to miss out on good food and fun – then don't miss Mingxun Bieyuan · Zai Shanye B&B.
