This homestay in Songyang offers the ultimate secluded getaway

Songyang Yunying Xingu, a homestay built among the clouds, is hidden amidst the green mountain terraces of Zhuanghe Village in Sidu Township. Here, over 200 days a year are shrouded in mist—wake up to rolling seas of clouds at dawn and watch as evening smoke intertwines with the fog. It's a 4-hour drive from Hangzhou or 3 hours from Wenzhou; about 50 minutes from Songyang Railway Station and 1.5 hours from Lishui Railway Station. From Lishui Station, take a 30-minute bus to Songyang Bus Station, then a 30-minute taxi ride to the homestay. Seven traditional rammed-earth houses are scattered across the mountain peaks, their yellow mud walls and gray tiles blending seamlessly with the ancient village—unassuming from afar but full of surprises up close! Designed by award-winning Taiwanese designer Lin Weiting, stepping inside feels like teleporting to a pure white Nordic-style space—featuring minimalist Instagram-worthy furniture, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, and preserved wooden beams and rammed-earth walls, creating a striking visual contrast between old and new! The floor-to-ceiling windows seamlessly connect to the terrace, opening to a breathtaking panorama of rolling green mountains and terraced fields.
