A Homestay Hidden in the Ethnic Minority Village of Tonglu | Secret Mountain Village Life

The Secret Mountain Village Life is located in Xinfeng Village, Eshan She Ethnic Township, Tonglu, Hangzhou City Daijia Mountain, nestled deep atop a mountain, hidden in a tranquil setting, surrounded by mountains, with babbling streams. This secluded valley, nearly 500 meters above sea level, is Hangzhou's only ethnic minority township. Design The Secret Mountain Village Life is understated yet unobtrusive, with the building's facade made entirely of local materials, the primitive combination of rammed earth walls and tiles, making the newly built houses seem as if they naturally grew out of this land. Rooms The homestay has 3 buildings with a total of 17 rooms, very suitable for team building and exclusive bookings. Facing the terraced fields, with bamboo forests and streams on both sides, the mountain breeze is refreshing. The rooms are equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows and terraces, and some rooms also have outdoor bathtubs, bringing people closer to nature. Amenities A full set of solid wood furniture is designed and made by designers using local materials, and the rooms are also equipped with Philips vintage radios, bedside copper chandeliers, and Appelles toiletries. Most rooms have European-style cast iron fireplaces. Dining There are multiple dining options at Secret Mountain Village Life. Guests can taste local farmhouse dishes or enjoy a BBQ feast outdoors. Secret Mountain also provides guests with a fully equipped open kitchen, where guests can bring their own ingredients and cook for themselves. Experience During these days in the valley, if you like quiet, you can read books in the dense mountain forests, with the aroma of coffee, or watch movies under the mountain breeze and starlight. If you want to experience the rich human fireworks, you can participate in various folk activities such as making mochi, grinding tofu, and bamboo tube rice, or walk in the traditional primitive villages, allowing both mind and body to enjoy the bustle. Surroundings Nearby are activities suitable for summer outings, such as Huxiao Gorge rafting, Yaolin Wonderland, and paragliding. The homestay recommends 'Norman Camp Tonglu Secret Campsite' nearby, a valley camping site that is a 10-minute walk away, suitable for enjoying outdoor life.
