MM322963****Living in the poetry of the mountainside of Yuwang, this homestay in Zibo Red Leaf Shiyan contracted all my expectations of the mountains
Before coming to Zibo Red Leaf Shiyan, I compared several accommodations on the Internet, and finally chose this residential hotel at the foot of Yuwang Mountain, and the result was completely beyond expectations. Where is ”staying for one night”, it is clear that the day has become a poem in the mountains.
Let me talk about the location first, it is simply tailor-made for the scenic spot. The homestay is right next to the entrance of Hongye Shiyan Scenic Area. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the glass plank road and the starting point of rafting. You don't have to get up early to catch the bus. You can go to the scenic spot after breakfast in the morning, avoiding the peak of the tourist group's flow. More pleasantly surprised is the view of the room. I booked a mountain view room and opened the balcony door. I can see the layers of Yuwang Mountain. There is mist around the mountainside in the morning. I can wait for an orange sunset in the evening. I don’t even need to find the angle for taking pictures. It’s just a “wallpaper-level” scenery.
The homestay was remodeled from local houses, retaining the texture of the old yard, and adding a lot of ingenuity. Persimmon trees are planted in the courtyard (no wonder it is called ”Red Leaf Persimmon Rock”), and there are vine-knitted tables and chairs under the tree. At night, I come back to make a pot of Zibo green tea sent by the boss. Listening to the insects in the mountain wind, it is 100 times more comfortable than staying up late in the city to brush my mobile phone. There is no over-commercial decoration in the room. The wooden furniture has a warm texture. The bedding is pure cotton and the cover is soft. Even the pillow height is just right. I have lived in too many homestays. “It looks good and can’t sleep,” but this one puts “comfortable” first, even the hot water in the twin room comes quickly, The water temperature is stable, the details are too poke people.
What impressed me the most was the intention of the boss's family. Before we set off, the boss asked about our dietary taboos on WeChat, and also took the initiative to help book discount tickets for Hongye Shiyan, saving us time in line. Breakfast is authentic Zibo flavor: the Zhoucun sesame cakes are crispy and slag, the millet porridge is sticky, and the small pickles are cooked at home, and even the children have eaten two large bowls. One day we came back late from the Tengwang Mountain hiking, the boss also specially left the hot Boshan stew pot, said ”tired climbing the mountain, eat some hot warmth”, a mouthful full of home-cooked fragrance, more flavorful than the restaurant.
Staying here for three days is not only the convenience of ”close to the scenic spot”, but also like experiencing a mountain life: follow the boss to the nearby vegetable garden to pick vegetables, listen to him talk about the legend of Yuwang Mountain, and watch the stars in the courtyard at night (the mountain has less light pollution, and the Milky Way can be seen faintly). When he left, the boss also stuffed a bag of dried hawthorns, saying that ”soaking water on the road, relieved the greasy” This unsuspecting enthusiasm is warmer than any ”standardized service”.
If you come to Hongye Shiyan, want to avoid crowded hotels, and want to really feel the warmth of Zibo's mountains, this Yuwangshan residential hotel must be selected. It is not a ”net red punch point”, but a place that can let you remember the ”Zibo temperature”. Next time you bring your parents, you still want to live here.
