Hidden Paradise Emerges in the Mountain City!

Stepping into Chongqing Yuanyin · Chongqing Courtyard feels like traveling through time, instantly transitioning from the bustling city to a poetic retreat. The neatly arranged wooden structures with tiled roofs, the enclosed courtyards filled with the fragrance of osmanthus carried by the breeze, and the wooden tables and bamboo chairs under the old banyan tree await visitors. A pot of tea is all it takes to while away a leisurely afternoon. This is not just a guesthouse but also a "city meditation retreat." As night falls, the lounge chairs on the terrace face the illuminated Yuzhong Peninsula, with the mountain city's silhouette appearing dreamlike under the starry sky. The owner personally crafts the "Chongqing Enigma" cocktail, inspired by the city's vibrant spirit. Its slightly spicy yet sweet aftertaste perfectly mirrors Chongqing's character. The most captivating feature is the hidden "Book & Film Pavilion" tucked in a corner of the courtyard. Here, you can freely browse ancient books and independent film DVDs. Under the warm yellow light, one could easily spend an entire afternoon alone. Upon departure, the handcrafted osmanthus jam gifted by the host becomes the warmest souvenir of this secluded journey. If you're tired of the crowds at Hongya Cave, consider visiting Yuanyin. In this "courtyard" of Chongqing, you can rediscover the rhythm of slow living.
